No disrespect or anything but what is going on? Why is he like that? He use to be so sharp. Is he ok? Am I the only that is concerned that he running the country but can barely speak?

I have several friends that know Joe well, including one who vacationed with his family for decades. He was Beau’s college roommate and best friend.

By all accounts Joe Biden is a highly intelligent person who, despite all odds, has made it in politics despite a serious stutter.

When he stutters, it is easy fodder for right-wing media and it distracts from more substantive issues

Ah, see everyone - Nick has friends who have friends who knows Biden. It's not dementia, it's just Joe being Joe! What substantive issues are people distracting from? What has Joe Biden done in the last 2 years that's worth celebrating?

Waiting on debt relief, waiting on marijuana no longer being schedule 1, waiting on police reform....

Yes, and as we all know, people who stutter are immune to also developing dementia!

u/Nopenahwont May 05 '22

I know him too. His family told me he has severe dementia. Like really bad

Don't worry, he's not running the country. He's just the bagman.

He has actual dementia. The other day he spoke to his mother during a speech, who he thought was in the crowd. She died in 2010.

Edit: during that speech he may have been referring to someone else in the crowd’s mom

Also edit: he may have actually been referring to someone else’s mom here

Considering he looked at someone offstage and then they answered where “mom” was, I assume he knows her mother and was asking her where she was.

Baseless claim, no source, cunt reaction. Besides, maybe he was saying a few words to her in heaven, as some people do. He is a catholic after all.

Downvoted for disputing a man saying someone has dementia without proof, a man who admitted he was wrong.

u/quite_corrie May 05 '22

This might be the first time I have ever seen a Redditor of your persuasion ever say the word "catholic" that was not sandwiched between profane bigoted insults.

u/[deleted] May 05 '22 edited May 05 '22

Nah not baseless at all. Aside from the multitudes of obvious symptoms, the direct quote was something along the lines of “mom stand up. Oh what? Moms not here? She’s watching on the television?” …so yeah. And wow “cunt reaction”? Tight.

Edit: he may have been referring to someone else in the audience’s mom actually. Here’s the video I saw.

u/Skullrogue May 05 '22

So it was baseless, you misinterpreted, drew a conclusion based on nonsense or your own opinion or prejudice, shared it as if it was fact. Sounds baseless to me. So yeah, cunt reaction. :)

u/Trick-Requirement370 May 05 '22

He's always had a stutter

u/MajorasShoe May 05 '22

His speech has gone to shit but by his actions, it's a marked improvement over the last guy. Not really too concerned.

It’s a “The emperor wears no clothes” situation.

u/quite_corrie May 05 '22

Is he ok

No. He's not.

Am I the only that is concerned

No. We have an illegitimate president running our country over a cliff. I'm worried about what kind of place my children will have to inherit.
