    Trump is literally arguing that he can’t possibly have dementia because he can still hit a golf ball as far as he used to??!!

    Im not trying to argue from a high ground. Simply pointing out the constant hypocrisy that exists when it comes to Biden and demtnia claims. When it comes to Trump, its always he hasn't been evaluated by a medical professional. When it comes to Biden, its always I don't need no stinking medical professional to tell me what I already know.

    A medical professional just gave his opinion and the response is "his dare he!" Meanwhile a *******n lawyer gave his opinion on Biden, and crickets.

    Trump just on a drug holiday. Once they inject miracle drugs, all will be fine!

    Sorry, I don't trust medical professionals or politicians. Did you know that medical professionals are considered the 3rd leading cause of death in the US?


    I used to think that one must be arrogant to believe they should be president, but looking at these two, I think I am qualified!

    You can point out hypocrisy and I will join you. Dems are not in a position to criticize on this issue.

    Oh good grief modafinil is NOT speed, it is not an amphetamine.

    "Modafinil, a novel stimulant which has several remarkable features that distinguish it from other stimulants, has been developed by Lafon, a French pharmaceutical company. Unlike the amphetamines, for example, modafinil is reported to have minimal peripheral side effects at therapeutic doses. It also appears to have a low abuse potential, does not interfere with normal sleep, and does not seem to produce tolerance. It improves vigilance especially in sleep-deprived subjects. "
    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/167...ulant which,side effects at therapeutic doses.

    " In the United States, modafinil is FDA-approved for the treatment of the following in adults: narcolepsy, sleep work shift disorder, and obstructive sleep apnea (adjunct to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP))."
    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK531476/

    "...Knowledgeable sources say that samples of the stimulant were passed around for those contributing lines to major Trump speeches, working late hours on foreign policy initiatives, responding to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, coping with the deluge of media inquiries about that investigation, and so much more. (Trump’s campaign did not respond to an email seeking comment for this story.)..."

    Did you look at the prescription lists or just trying for talking points? Rhetorical, they were drugged up to cope with the mania behind the desk. Rolling Stone interviewed one of the docs, first hand testimony.

    Yet Biden's memory is much worse and Liberals think Biden's is still fit to serve.

    Maybe he talks about it because he passed it and Biden's afraid to take it. Of course Liberals always see things differently than they really are.

    I trust medical professionals to make a more accurate diagnosis compared to lawyers. That's for sure.

    What it also says is that they have a selective way of getting their information. ( the information must fit their preconceived notions) rendering their credibility as questionable.

    Indeed. Lawyers do law. Medical and psychological issues need a medical/ psychological background for complete assessment .

    Biden's arthritis is a problem for his ambulation. That is why he walks slow and stiff. People draw all kinds of conclusions from his walk and appearance. Unless, they have a medical background, these conclusions are just guess work. One cannot use their relatives who have symptoms of senility, as a diagnostic measure of anyone else.

    And it’s not just ONE medical professional. At the time of writing, 91 registered mental health professionals had concurred with Dr Gartner’s observations…

    And that speaks volumes. (not surprising as those that have worked in the filed, know exactly what is being said and on what basis. )

    Well yeah......it's really obvious to anyone that can think rationally. He's short circuiting, misfiring while ranting incessantly fighting the monsters in his head.

    Both of those old turds are losing it. We should play it safe with the highest position in the country, and cap the age at 70.

    I guess you prefer to speak in apples and oranges instead of keeping on topic.

    It takes profound levels of ignorance to Trust medical professionals, lawyers, or politicians.

    Unfortunately, our healthcare system is run by lawyers and politicians. It is based on profit, not health. Thats why healthcare and big pharma are enjoying record profits while people are sicker than ever. The need part is the problem. The vast majority of need is preventable. I don't want to derail the dementia thread, so to stay on topic, of the two elderly, absent-minded sex offenders we have to choose from, Biden appears to be leading in the dementia department.

    Nonsense. I could see a debate between Biden and Haley, or between Biden and RFK jr. or any other actual politicians that would make some effort to debate policy and philosophy, but we all know trump would just waste everyone’s time with his diarrhea of personal grievances and petulant boasting to aggrandize himself.
    Nobody should waste their time “debating” trump.

    So is this the talking points memo that went out now that the left has to rally around some excuse to get Biden out of any debates because you guys are so afraid of how bad it would actually be? I mean normally it is the guy in the lead who makes the pronouncements about not debating NOT the one who is LOSING!! Have you jumped on the "He should not because it would only legitimize Trump" one yet?

    In fact if Trump is going to do what you claim in your excuse making then you should be DEMANDING debates so that everyone would see it and vote for Biden instead because he would be so forceful and above it all and never attack Trump or his supporters he would just NEVER do that...............:roflol:

    Well it's pretty obvious that Biden knocked it out of the ballpark last night, inflation is getting under control, the economy is forging forward and people are beginning to see it. They need to still do something about the food industry "greedflation". On the opposite, Trump's truth social crashed last night as he was melting down in his mental decline. Joe's going to take pity and pardon him sometime next year or he'll be whining and still for sale to the highest bidder.
