You didn't answer my question about Bidens mental health. How long do you think he'll be POTUS before they decide he's too much of a liability and Amendment 25 him?

Trump talks like that all the time.

The thought came to me the other day after hearing him say he's won that I've heard this before. It's from the hype folks whose 'bibles' are books like How To Win Friends and Influence People and other books from Dale Carnegie and authors like him. These folks pretty much give themselves pep talks all the time. They speak of things as though they've already happened and they speak to everyone that way.

Really?  Your trying to justify his behavior because "he talks like that all the time"?  Behavior that intentionally tries to break the bonds of democracy and place unsubstantiated distrust in the process this county uses to elect officials?  Do you understand that countries that are too weak to fight militarily against us are creating disinformation campaigns like this against us to implode the US from within?  And Trump is contributing to that right now, with no proof of any real allegations.  He's been setting this up for 4 years... ever since his ego forced him to say he lost the popular vote in 2016 only because "3 million illegal aliens voted last election"... with ZERO proof.  You think that is OK?  And you are worried about Biden's mental health?

If you only watch manipulated/ spliced videos from Fox News or other Right-Leaning Talk Show hosts, your perception of Biden and his "dementia" is skewed.  If you watch his entire speeches, over the years you'd understand he has overcome a stuttering problem, has a tough time getting words out on occasion, but cognitively seems fine otherwise.  And if he is not, I am confident he will have a cabinet around him that can keep him straight... unlike Trump.  Nobody could control that psychopath... they still can't right now.  They have to treat him like a 3-year old having a temper tantrum.

So to answer your question... no, I do not have any concerns.  Because Biden is not a loose cannon like Trump is.  And if he does deteriorate, others will be there to right the ship.  I am happy the Republicans will hold a majority in the senate, for checks and balances if any agenda moves too far left.  I have even heard Biden is considering a Republican like Mitt Romney to join his cabinet to demonstrate a show of unity and a willingness to work across the aisle.  That would be a refreshing change if it materializes.
