    He was Vice President for eight years. He’s been President for less than four. Sometimes, I accidentally refer to myself as a support engineer, even though I haven’t been one for years, because I was one for a long time. Misstatements happen - especially when you’re talking about a guy with a stutter and a history of talking before his brain has caught up.

    Let it go, guys. The “he’s got dementia” shit didn’t land in 2020, and it’s not gonna land now.

      He’s also 81 now, which he wasn’t in 2020. Dude is not getting and sharper, you don’t need to apologize for him.

        I’m not. He has a clean bill of health from his medical team, and of the two serious candidates running, he’s not the one whose doctors had him take a cognitive assessment.

        Again, let it go. Biden doesn’t have a family history of dementia, and it’s unlikely he’s going to develop it before he dies. Stop trying to turn misstatements into a diagnosis, Dr. Lemmy.
