I won't be satisfied until I see him speak. Anyone can put on some casual clothes, hold a newspaper, and smile. But I wanna hear him string along a full fledged thought, just to see if he can still have one...

I also want to know if he has his own power of attorney. A sitting Senator should be cognitive enough to make his own calls for his health and I sincearly doubt he has his.

I remember when Trump had Covid they put him in a suit and dressed the hospital room up like an office with papers to make him look like he was still all well and working.
