    Who made that determination? Usually someone in the medical field gives their opinion.

    All Trump did was say "I dont recall" which is a symptom of dementia right? Along with mistaking his wife for the woman he assaulted. Oh, but perfectly fine up there right?

    You said his mental state has to be determined by a medical professional. It hasn't been determined by a medical professional that he has dementia. Case closed.

    Where did I say that?

    I said a medical professional determines if a person is fit to stand trial.

    If you actually think that no one is aware of the millions of illegals flooding the border at records rates under this administration, you are sorely out of touch and sorely mistaken.

    Neither were overworked which does not excuse Biden's memory lapses.

    Nope! The statute makes a difference.

    Oh what nonsense! Obviously you are talking B.S. without even reading Hur's report. Now I know this is a waste of time.

    Thanks anyway.

    After Trump it's a daily occurrence.

    As for Biden, it was occasional because before he made public remarks only occasionally. Now he's being interviewed every day by EVERY outlet. Trump had a solution: only give interviews to the media that was friendly with him. That certainly reduced his strain. But the gaffes kept on coming anyway.

    Exactly. And the way the economy is going Republican strategists have all the elements to believe that this will be a losing issue when people start to actually decide who to vote for. It would require an absolute lack of understanding of reality to believe that what you see today is what you will see in November.

    Inflation may be down, but the effects of inflation linger on. For many, they are having trouble buying groceries and the price of homes have put them out of sight.

    I'm not claiming anything. I'm pointing out what the Hur report says. You should know by now that it's rare that I make claims. What I do is point out facts. For example:

    They could have been stored, by mistake and without his knowledge, at his Delaware home since the time he was vice president, as were other classified documents recovered during our investigation.

    And then...

    We have considered-and investigated-the possibility that the box was intentionally placed in the garage to make it appear to be there by mistake, but the evidence does not support that conclusion.

    Or

    The evidence suggests that the marked classified documents found at the Penn Biden Center were sent and kept there by mistake. Therefore, we decline any criminal charges related to those documents.

    Or (about the documents at the Library of Delaware)

    The evidence does not suggest that Mr. Biden willfully retained these documents. Rather, they appear to have been included in his large collection of Senate papers by mistake.
    ... and many more.

    I point out facts and if YOU decide the facts mean it was accidental that would be your conclusion.

    They sure are. But now they know it's the Republican's fault.

    You certainly are aware of the fact that biden makes more of those gaffes in one speech than the others you named die in their entire presidencies. You deperate need to defend clueless Joe does considerable damage to what little credibility you had left.

    They could not have been there to be taken to those places had he not previous taken them from the secured venues where they are normally held.

    Biden knew he had the documents...

    ""Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,"

    The mia culpa argument isn't going to work, not that it ever did.

    It is just not the storing of the documents, it is how he came in possession of the documents. A few documents might have been accidently taken out of a secure area. But not boxes of documents which would have to be taken out of the secure areas one at a time. It was no mistake. Then his absurd claim that somehow the documents were secure because they were in a locked garage with his very expensive Corvette.

    To believe all this, you must also believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairey.

    Ok. I'm not going to bother explaining to you but once that this is February and the elections are in November. And that, though we don't know for sure what will happen in November, the tea leaves (a.k.a economic indicators) don't point to the economy being a winning issue for Republicans come election time. Which, again, happen in NOVEMBER!

    A few day earlier who vote early. But Trump has so maligned early voting that his supporters will be coming out on election day and... who knows how many will think it's worth the effort to wait for hours under the sun (or the cold... or the rain) to cast their vote for a convicted felon.

    Wrong! NOBODY beats Trump in the number of gaffes. Though Bush did come close.

    But it is true that Obama made them so rarely that when he did, it became the headline of every newspaper in the world.

    Granted, we still have a Pacific Ocean’s worth of water to flow under the election bridge between now and November. Gaffs aren’t anything new with Biden. But the fact remains this rematch is one most Americans don’t want. Trump also has a slight lead over Biden today in both a two-candidate race and a three and five candidate races.

    https://www.realclearpolling.com/po...24/trump-vs-biden-vs-kennedy-vs-west-vs-stein

    What most Americans are worried about Biden is his age and his mental fitness to serve another term. Most Americans don’t like Trump with his legal problems. We have 64% of all Americans stating this country needs another viable choice other than Trump and Biden. With 63% of all Americans having doubts about Biden’s mental fitness to serve another term as president along with 69% stating Biden is too old. With Trump 52% of all Americans believe he participated in an insurrection.

    https://harvardharrispoll.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/HHP_Jan24_KeyResults.pdf

    Most Americans don’t want neither Biden nor Trump to be running for the presidency.

    https://d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/econTabReport_f5kOruS.pdf

    It’s not Biden’s gaffs, it’s his age, looking weak and frail along with questions and doubts about his mental fitness to serve another term. With Trump it’s all about his raunchy personality and his ton of legal problems. But the bottom line is most Americans dislike and don’t want neither one as the next president. Averaging out the polls which give the respondent more choices than just Trump and Biden, such as third party or with names like Kennedy, West Stein, other and an option for will not vote if the rematch occurs, what we have today is roughly 35% for Biden, 35% for Trump, 30% stating they’ll vote third party or not vote at all, stay home if the rematch occurs. This is way beyond any Biden gaffs which I think are irrelevant. Possibly for this latter 30%, a who cares who wins election since they don’t want neither one to serve another term.

    So you really think Biden can run on his immigration record? His economy record? Go for it!
    Trump had almost twice as many press conferences as Biden in the same time frame. He takes more than double the amount of questions. Trump talks hours off script something Biden cannot begin to do.

    If Biden can make it to the Convention (which is very doubtful) he will be pressed to debate and his handlers will do everything to keep this imbecile in the basement. Wanna bet? I am really looking forward to the Democrat Civil War when they try to pass over "giggles" for another candidate!
