Just wondering: Would those fact checkers have said, “Mr Biden you can’t talk to veterans who died”? Would they say, “women do not get impregnated when raped by their sisters”? If so, cool

If so, cool Fact checking should be agnostic. For sheer volume, the demented guy (and as someone with 2 parents suffering from dementia and as a physician who cares for many with the disease, since the former is apparently the bona fide upon which commentary can be offered, I recognize dementia well) trumps these in both volume and intent. And yes, I realize you and I both would like better candidates. The problem is the felon will burn this democracy down in too many ways to go into succinctly.

Fast checking should be and rarely is agnostic, all dependent upon who checks the facts. I recognize that Trump is a disaster. Have already seen it. Biden is a disaster as well. And the hidden time bomb is Harris waiting in the wings. It is so disheartening that out of 300 million people (give or take) these two clowns are the choices. I recognize the Republicans are too spineless to jettison Trump. Why are the Democrats sticking with a clearly addled Biden. FYI, my anecdotal experience with my Dad is no match for your medical training but I have seen these signs before.

Elvado, who would be better? Harris or Trump? Not that those will be the choices in November

FYI, my anecdotal experience with my Dad is no match for your medical training but I have seen these signs before. I’ve interacted on a professional level with those in both of the last 2 administrations. I can say with confidence that this administration is light years more invested in the health of their constituents and it is not even close. Are they perfect? No, but they actually manage to work towards it in conjunction with others which was not possible in the last administration. Your personal experience, like mine, is at least as relevant, if not more so, than medical experience. As a related aside, today there is actually something worth reading in the NYT. Beautifully written and insightful piece about dementia in one’s parents. This link should not be paywalled (let me know if that is wrong). www.nytimes.com/2024/06/30/magazine/dementia-alzheimers-reminiscence-therapy.html?unlocked_article_code=1.3k0.cMw7.cU1S0WAImtC7&smid=url-share

The bar is on the floor there, but still. Harris could be monumentally, historically bad. And she’d still be better than Trump.

Stop pretending these people aren’t fascists. Threatening violence unless everybody fully capitulates is one of its hallmarks.

deleted- wrong cite - see my post below. Thank you. I’m not on any social media so I didn’t see this. It’s absolutely criminal that the “left wing” media hasn’t even mentioned this. If this were Joe Biden being accused, this would be 24/7 on Fox until the election. The party that casts everyone as groomers and pedophiles has an accused pedophile as their nominee and it’s totally cool. This country is so broken.
