    Biden has a long history of saying really stupid stuff, but I don't remember him ever rambling incoherently like he does now where you can't even figure out what it is he's trying to convey. He did an interview on CNN recently with Anderson Cooper and a guest where their expressions went from mild confusion to concern when Biden went on for 30-seconds without saying anything intelligible.

      ETA: If you're talking about this, I realize the need for many on the right to push forward this narrative, but all I see is a man stumbling to frame a sentence. When you add his usual tendency to misspeak and his history with stuttering, the scenario is not all that concerning. The right is going to yank clips like this out, separated from their context, and hammer the "Biden faculties" issue as part of a campaign strategy. I think the debates will likely settle the issue when the lying/word-salad-prone incumbent who "doesn't like to prepare" has to face Biden's encyclopedic knowledge of foreign policy and government operation. But, as has been said before...we'll see.

        To the point that nobody is entirely sure what thought he was attempting to convey. This is not something he was ever known to do in the past, and certainly not to the extent that we've seen over the past several months where every public appearance is guaranteed to have at least one of these moments.

          I don't think you've been watching Biden all that closely. He's done this his entire career. And extracting 20 seconds of unflattering video from an entire interview may be a good way to promote the meme - but it is intellectually dishonest. I could yank out similar video from almost any Trump speech. Your bias is showing again. I'm sure your "honest self-assessment" has already warned you about that. If not, you can review what Fox News has to say about it. I understand they're very neutral!

          Last word to you.

            Not like this he hasn't. And it's not just that one interview. It's in pretty much every interview and every public appearance these days. To insist otherwise is nothing but denial.

              He didn't slur his speech, stutter and stammer, and struggle to pronounce words the way he does now. I've listened to his recent livestream interviews. He even does this when he's obviously reading a script.

              • My best friend's son has a stutter. What Biden is doing is not stuttering. He is forgetting things mid-thought, which is not uncommon in old people.

                  • Guilt projection?

                    The lady doth protest too much me thinks. You know when a preacher goes overboard and rails over and over about sexual sin, then gets caught in a restroom with another dude, or in a motel room with a prostitute? That's what this looks like to me.

                      Just remember that when you vote for Trump, you've voting for a man that has done worse than biden is accused of at least 12 times over.

                        And admitted, on the video released right before the election, that he does sexual assaults and that he feels he gets away with it due to being a celebrity.

                        But that, plus 44 women accusing Trump, doesn't appear enough to stop Republicans from voting for him.

                        By contrast, Biden has 1 allegation against him, which he denies.
                        "I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

                          That's just TDS talking. Apart from being an actual rapist, progressives could easily school you on how bad Biden's long history is as a politician, not the least of which might even border on being a racist, according to Kamala Harris, who's definitely not a progressive

                            Keep in mind that many of those allegations are so bizarre and farcical that the ONLY reason you want to give them credence is because they involve Trump. An example would be the woman claiming that Trump sexually assaulted her aboard a packed airplane while she was in her seat surrounded by other passengers and yet nobody noticed.

                            And there have been eight women who have come forth charging Biden with improper conduct the same time that Reade came forth. And many of them are decidedly liberal Democrats including Congressional candidates, staffers and organizers. And now there's the woman who says Biden was ogling her breasts when she was 14 while making inappropriate comments about how nice they were for someone her age

                              Just like the MSM steadfastly ignored Reade's claim until they were shamed into briefly covering it, they are propagating the false claim that she is the only accuser. See my post above.
