Some of my commenters never miss an opportunity to remind this blog of former President Biden's declining cognition while he was in office. Some even suggested that he was so demented that his wife and aides were running the country.
I now ask some of my commenters, what would you call a sitting president who published on his own social media account a screed claiming that Joe Biden's administration rigged the 2020 election, spied on senators and congressmen and tapped their calls, ALL WHILE DONALD TRUMP WAS POTUS!
Trump shows the American people every day that he's senile.
Will any of those who claimed former President Biden was senile have the courage to say the same thing about an obviously demented president?
Who's running the country? Trump's aides? Melania?
This latest Truth Social post shows a man who has lost touch with reality; a man who couldn't remember that HE was president in 2020; and that his accusations about the Biden administration "spying" on him is the product of a deteriorating mind.

Like egregiosly stubborn mules the loyal KSoA sheeple will deny his deteriorating mental condition and emotional instability all day long 24/7 without so much as a rational reflection on the truth.
Sure, I have always supported term limits for congress and age limits for all other political leaders including the president. If you have to retie at 65 to fly for the airlines why should some goat be able to rule the country past that. Everyone's mental competence declines as they age. We need to limit the age at which a politician can screw the country to 65 but it will take an act of congress to get that enacted and that won't happen.
Joey b was indeed senile according to a competency interview that said he shouldn't be prosecuted because he is just a senile old man, something the rest of the world knew. Trump by his actions is either mentally deficient or lives in another universe because his childish behavior shows mentally weakness.
Now with our elected elite. Should we have schumer, pelosi, mcconnell, and the rest of the senile crowd be allowed to continue. It is all about power and riches and nothing about doing their job.
Please cite, and link the report you referenced as to our accomplished prior president President Biden senility. I couldn't find it on the interwebz.
As to term limits, amen! I fully agree. My preference would be 5 terms for representatives and 2 terms for senators.
As to the SCOTUS, one 15 year term.
As to age limit. I disagree with 65. The majority of 65 year old now maintaining a vibrant active life well into their mid to late seventies. Besides, the normal retirement age for folks to receive full SS retirement is what, 67 and that is bound to increase. So, my view, for ALL federal government elected official jobs should be: If you will turn 75 during any term you are ineligible to run.
That makes sense to me and some iteration if it should be seriously considered and ultimately approved as an amendment to our Constitution.
The KSoA should ABSOLUTELY be prevented from running again.
Skud... can you cite evidence for one "competency interview" that Biden took?
No you can't. You CAN cite one deposition that included two three-hour sessions on Oct. 8 and 9, 2023 where admittedly, Biden looked and sounded at times, lost and/or confused.
So maybe after nearly three years in office, he had declined to the point where it should've been evident to him and his staff that he needed to step aside. It's why I said in 2022 he should not run to be our president in 2025.
But none of that changes Shaw's point that you and others here who have been hypercritical of President Biden and his mental decline have remained silent and void of any withering mockery and criticism of Trump for the same.
Did you see his speech yesterday in Japan?
“You know, the new thing is magnets. So instead of using hydraulic that can be hit by lightning and it’s fine. You take a little glass of water, you drop it on magnets, I don’t know what’s going to happen...”
“So, you know, the elevators come up in the new carriers—I think I’m going to change it, by the way—they have magnets. Every tractor has hydraulic, every excavator, every excavating machine of any kind has hydraulic. But somebody decided to use magnets.”
“I’m going to sign an executive order. When we build aircraft carriers, it’s steam for the catapults and it’s hydraulic for the elevators. We’ll never have a problem...”
“You know, China intelligently went and they sort of took a monopoly of the world’s magnets, and nobody needed magnets until they convinced everybody 20 years ago, ‘Let’s all do magnets...' There were many other ways that the world could have gone.”
This was a "speech" to a group of sailors aboard the USS George Washington aircraft carrier. They've got to be thinking "God help us" as they daily risk their lives to defend the US.
But you and others like you, as Shaw posted, are unable to see what you hypercriticized in Biden in President Trump.
Elect tRump 2028!
The mentality deteriorating, emotionally unbalanced, and quite ignorant and deluded moron.
MAGA, making Amerika more white, racist, misogynist, homophobic, than everyone before.
Meanwhile, Trump's buddy Bibi got itchy again -
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/israel-says-killed-3-palestinian-051536194.html?utm_source=pushly&ncid=pushly and a very powerful air force is shooting up motor boats from Venezuela (which may be smuggling Tylenol to Walgreens' for all the "improved" intel the ridiculous chaos has created.
Dave Miller (who is addressing skud) said "You CAN cite one deposition that included two three-hour sessions on Oct. 8 and 9, 2023 where admittedly, Biden looked and sounded at times, lost and/or confused."
That one deposition occurred on the day of the Hamas attack on Israel. Biden was in the situation room for hours those two days but left to attend the interview. I believe Hur deviated from the topic at hand to press Biden on the deaths of his family members. Well, Hamas, death, hit a guy when he's down... Hur is not a nice human.
May also I remind folks that the reports from that attack included detailed reports of the horrors inflicted on women, men, children, and babies?
I guess skud is so hard core that the sight of children torn limb from limb is nothing to them. Death, rape, and horror: It's all just water off a ducks back.
Am I being sarcastic? I don't know. What I am sure of is in a post about Trumps declining cognitive abilities skud slammed Biden but couldn't say one word of critique against their Lord and King. Not one word.
Amazing.
PS - one doesn't get an MRI for no reason. They aren't so much considered preventative but are instead definitely used for and billed as diagnostic care. So what needed to be diagnosed? Enquiring minds are inquiring.
I can't answer for skud, but from our many interactions and discussion here on P.E., it is clear that skud and others have a double standard on presidential mental competency. Skud does occasionally acknowledge that Trump is in a congnitive downward spiral, but I get the feeling he says so begrudgingly.
In the case of Biden and cognitive decline, it seemed like every other comment he posted mentioned it. But now that Trump is showing more severe signs of cognitive decline and embarrassing the US and himself on the international stage, there's no mention of this from him -- and it is certainly NEVER mentioned by MAGA -FJ/JoeCon.
Trump just took another cognitive test -- according to his own telling -- and bragged about passing it and knowing that a giraffe is a giraffe! What he apparently doesn't understand is that cognitive tests are given to patients who may be showing instances of memory loss and other early dementia signs, LIKE FORGETTING HE WAS POTUS IN 2020, as he did in the Truth Social post that is the subject of this P.E. post.
I agree. Because of medical science, more and more people are living into their 80s and 90s, so I agree with the age of 75 as a cutoff.
PS. My brother-in-law, who was married to my late sister who was almost a generation older than me, will reach the age of 100 next June. He lives alone, drives his Lincoln Continental to the grocery store and shops, cooks his own meals, teaches watercolor classes 3 days a week in his town and in two other towns, and attends free art classes at the Worcester Art Museum, and is very active in Sterling, Mass., First Church, even though he is a professed Atheist! He can hold his own in ANY conversation, and is still mentally sharp at 99 1/2 years old!! He is what we call a "super ager." And he served in the US Navy during WWII!
You both knew this but in case you forgot "Special counsel Robert Hur interviewed President Biden and described him in his report as a "sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory". Did you happen to see him try to shake hands with no one or turn the wrong way on numerous occasions. He was put in as president because all the other democrat candidates were totally unacceptable. He was not expected to do anything and he fulfilled his commitment. Everyone should have been hypercritical of biden not because he was a bad person but because he was incompetent.
Les, If you recall our elected elite are in a class above the rest of the pieons they rule. They do not have to rely on SS because they have a much sweeter deal paid for by all of us. Just because someone someone turns 65 does no mean they are senile but should they really be making decisions affecting your life.
I guess the auto spell correct (maybe AI?) Doesn't like ever before , replacing it with everyone. Technology, grrr.
"You both knew this but in case you forgot "Special counsel Robert Hur interviewed President Biden and described him in his report as a "sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory"
In case YOU forgot, Robert Hur, a member in good standing in Washington's conservative legal establishment, is NOT a medical expert in geriatric health, so, he gave his NON-MEDICAL OPINION on Biden's performance in two interviews, PERIOD. Grey One Talks Sass explained to you the conditions under which those two interviews were given.
All that aside, the fact is that former President Biden should have kept his promise to serve only one term. I'm on record as saying that.
None of that, however, changes the fact that Trump is showing disturbing and undeniable signs of mental deterioration, AND HE, NOT BIDEN, IS THE CURRENT POTUS. So, skud, circling back to what happened in 2023/24 has no bearing on what we are witnessing now about Trump's mental health.
You continuous hammering Biden for "doing nothing," and "incompetence" belies the facts, which we have provided you many, many times here at P.E.
You continue to believe in your prejudicial fantasies instead of facts. Because as I've quoted here many times, "You can have your own opinions, but you can't have your own facts." Your OPINION of Biden is just that; it is NOT a fact.
These are FACTS:
"2024 Presidential Greatness Project survey:
Conducted by political scientists Brandon Rottinghaus and Justin Vaughn, this widely reported survey polled 191 scholars and found:
Rank: Biden was ranked the 14th best president, placing him ahead of Woodrow Wilson, Ronald Reagan, and Ulysses S. Grant."
A former POTUS doesn't get that kind of high ranking by presidential scholars by being "incompetent" and "doing nothing."
