    This is nonsense, it was clear last year at the debates that it was nonsense and it has been clear ever since, the idea that they are hiding him away is made up nonsense, his live responses over the last 2 months show clarity of thinking and a sharp intellect.

    Lots circulating in the right wing main stream media, I tripped and fell and smashed my head against my door back in January and I was 100% sober as I've not had a drink this year, should I give up the game and confine myself to a care home.

    Your link is from the 11th of September and, Daily Mail, yeah right wing.

    And as for fluffing lines you are aware that Biden has a stammer something he has battled all of his life.

    No the door was fine the rear of skull hit the door about 2 foot above the ground, it was scary I could have killed myself in that fall.

    It wouldn't have affected me, even though I'm older than Jim, because "where there's no sense, there's no feeling" :eek:

    Perhaps a change of verb would be more appropriate, John :lol:

    I use "pussyfoot" a lot also, John, but my joke was that it was pertaining to a woman ;)

    He knew and realised that he was getting off topic and stopped going off topic on coming back from that he fully and reasonably resumed the track he had been on, that was at and after the word 'Anyway', I do that my boss who is 45 does that everyone does that sometimes when talking and it can be the kind of derailment caused by a stammer when you realise that you can't get the next word or point out without an impossible struggle, I suffer from a stammer and I stutter and I know how people compensate and how it can affect train of thought.

    At that point he went on to invite the next question and yeah he had to refer to the notes to find out where to resume but there is nothing here that infers that he is senile or on the verge of dementia, to the contrary he demonstrated an ability to refocus admirably well.

    This is really quite distasteful most real ordinary people have experienced exactly what is on show here in the video, I certainly have at all stages of my life, I've done that in my twenties, thirties, forties, and right up to today.

    Here is an example of the right wing in the USA, self interested, self serving, right wing agenda.

    Navarro is anything but stupid but surely to god you can see how he is using the media to push his side's agenda, via the media friendly to that message.

    Absolute fiction and **** coming out of this guy's mouth and this is just one of Navarro's rants I have watched many last year and they are all equally awful.



    edit: they are desperate to rewrite history.

    And in case none of you have realised, everything Biden is doing right now is incredibly popular with both Republican and Democratic voters in the US.

    Biden has a huge approval rating vastly more than Trump and remember Trump never got above 50%.

    From the 1.9 Trillion stimulus package to the 2 Trillion reconstruction package he has huge bipartisan support everywhere amongst the people except from the oligarch owned politicians in both the republican and democratic parties and in the case of the republicans that is the vast majority of them.

    Watch this, speaking on the March Job report, clear, concise, sharp and responsive

    I love his answers from 10:15 onwards when he is informally addressing the reporters in incredibly clear and detailed fashion when he had started to put on his mask and left it hanging because he didn't give a damn about the image but was still a good way away from the reporters he was addressing and so could not hurt them.

    I urge you to watch all of it but pay particular attention to this supposedly senile 78 year old man from 10:15 onwards, it's a lesson.

    Oh and American business is delighted about the 2 trillion economic stimulus the rescue plan, the stock market just hit record highs as a result of these announcements although it is particularly dumb to assume that the stock market has anything to do with the real economy these days, it doesn't



    Senile my arse!
