It’s interesting that Joe Biden’s dementia is most visible in deceptively cropped video clips but easily covered-up by performance enhancing drugs during high-profile extended public appearances.

Joe Biden has surprised me by being far better than average. The last 4 years have been far more tumultuous than any in the last few decades. I have nothing to complain about apart from the price of milk. The US is crushing it compared to every other developed nation. This isn’t even a contest.

Biden's got about 30 minutes of sustained speaking/standing in him before he starts to stumble. His average appearance is now under 25 minutes - he does pretty well given everything. I think the concern for tonight is the 90 minute length. They've shifted his sleep schedule so that he'll be just waking up before the debate and whatever cocktail of PEDs they give should be at their most effective. It will be interesting to watch.

This is funny because the extended clips always clarify that the short clips accurately portrayed his senility. They’re just gaslighting their way through this, hoping if they lie about it enough people will fall for it.

Who is discussing how Trump probably got the question list ahead of time for his all-in podcast appearance

Let me rephrase that "it's interesting that we notice his dementia in unscripted moments but somehow he has the ability to pass a low bar of senility when he is put on a stage for sub 2 hour performances, after we isolate him for a week, change his sleeping patterns and ensure he essentially was not working for the week leading up to the event. "
