Should Biden take the Montreal Cognitive Assessment?

Except, of course, Biden’s policy isn’t to confiscate even AR-15s. He wants the sale of new ones to be banned and existing ones to either be bought back or registered with ATF.

“This will give individuals who now possess assault weapons or high-capacity magazines two options: sell the weapons to the government, or register them under the National Firearms Act.”

Anyway, nobody wants another gun thread. But if Joe wants to keep calling out people for lying about his platform, I think I’m OK with that.

Biden would not take any cognitive tests. He is very insecureabout his own intelligence.

Cut him some slack - it was law, not arithmetic.

Besides, he was only off by three. :slight_smile:

LOL, if he is found cognitive incompetent, that’s what you go with?!!
His enemies could use it against him…
Not, maybe he shouldn’t be president.
Not, maybe he should retire.

But his enemies might use it against him. Astounding

You’ve convinced me - Joe should run as a Republican instead, where they’re absolutely fine with people of questionable mental competence who lie about their college record being president.

Seriously. This thread is bizarre.

No, he’s running as a Democrat. He may not be sure if he is running for the Senate or the White House, but by golly he is sure* he is a Democrat. And based on this thread, the Democrats are also fine with it.

I think Joe Biden may be using some fake tanner. In fact, I think you can see it in some of his pictures. No one who colors his skin should be eligible to be president! Covfefe!

Are they? Or are you just assuming that because Republicans will willingly excuse any corruption, crime or incompetence on the part of their candidates, Democrats are equally tribal and partisan?

Personally I’m not a fan of Joe and declared long ago on this very board the view that Joe and Bernie were far too old to be doing this shit and that I wished they weren’t running (I’m also not a Democrat). And I’ve also repeatedly pointed out that Biden was notorious for his verbal gaffes in 2008 and thus no one should be surprised that he is continuing to gaffe in 2020. But compared to the alternative both Biden and Sanders are far more competent, coherent and honest and I will almost certainly vote in November for whichever of them wins the nomination. That’s not “being fine with it”; that’s choosing the best option available.

Yes, they are. And no, I’m not assuming - I’ve read the thread (and many others like it).

It’s Newton’s fourth law: Both parties always have to be equally good and bad, and their supporters are always equally partisan, for ever and ever, amen.

Some of the latest videos of Biden show a guy who clearly has something wrong with him. He doesn’t seem to know what he’s talking about. I mean no sense at all. The Democrats need to go ahead and get somebody else as their nominee or Trump will eat him alive. If you want Trump keep Biden.

Do you understand how anything works? Answer: no. “The Democrats” can’t “go ahead and get somebody else”. That is not a real world suggestion.

I think if someone’s medically shown not to be mentally fit that would be enough. That Biden is suffering from some sort of cognitive decline is clear to everyone who listens to him now. He needs to be evaluated.

You can keep repeating it, but it still isn’t true.

Howzabout we let the voters evaluate him? Or do you have some specific “Presidential Candidate is Not Crazy Committee” in mind?

If I ever find myself teaching high school English and need to explain to students the concept of “dramatic irony”–in which the reader understands the significance of a character’s words in a way that the character does not–I’ll be sure to have this post handy.

Good, your ad hominem attacks really save the day Dorkness. When there’s a two-person debate with extended responses Biden may not always be able to rely on his notes - I certainly hope he doesn’t have one of those moments. Or multiple moments.

Compared to his opponent he will always be a model of coherence and clarity.

And it is not an “ad hominem attack” to observe that you are applying a rather blatant double standard in this thread.

I watched a two person debate two weeks ago. It wasn’t him who referred to corona as ebola three different times.
