ahh Stupid people. Stupidity knows no political affiliation LOL. As my children were leaving for school this morning one of them said. Hey we became smarter than the avg American when we passed the 8th grade.

This made me think of that...and also makes me very very sad

And all those average ones appear to have blue checks and a platform for that ignorance. Ugh.
Homeschooling man, It's the way to go.

Joe Biden...can simply be tested and put an end to the many rumors that persists about his dementia.

 

[Big Daddy]

There is not a test for dementia.

Jim Inhofe - Current Age 85. Gonna be 91 at the end of the term if he wins.

And still pretty sharp whether you like the guy or not.

So ya think Trump going for a 2nd term at 74 is worse than a 78 year old first term president? Trump will be the same age as Biden when he is DONE with his time in office. You think Biden will run for a 2nd term? He'll be 82 at the start of that term BTW.

Trump seems like a “young” 74 based on his vigor & energy while Biden seems like a normal 78 y/o physically but with the cognitive issues you could probably say he’s an “old” 78 mentally.

There are cognitive test, that can help the physician formulate an opinion.

Honestly, I don’t feel that Biden has as much of a cognitive decline as some say. He has always been one to spout wild statements that don’t seem to make sense. Watch a clip of Biden questioning Clarence Thomas at the hearings for Thomas to be confirmed as a Supreme Court justice. He was making statements that made zero sense back then. Even Thomas was quoted as saying he had no idea what Biden was referring to during parts of his questioning.

Pelosi is warming up the 25th Amendment to make sure there won’t be an 80 year old in office.

Screening for dementia is pretty simple. It is a part of Medicare annual examinations given every year to those who are covered by this federal insurance.

My mistake. Read the article posted by binman but when I replied I tagged yours by mistake.

Has half the nation really voted? I don’t think that is accurate, is it?

I didn't mean it literally. But early voting is way above norms for obvious reasons.

Personally, I voted two weeks ago and I think for a lot of us that's going to be one way the world is different now. I had time, went to the courthouse and after 5 minutes that was that. Normally voting goes quick for me but instead of a 20 minute process where I'm stuck in a line, there were two people in front of me and the biggest hold up was us having to fill out the absentee paperwork. For the urban people who wait all afternoon on election day, man I know they don't get my experience, but say 1 hr on their own time versus 4 hours when they are taking unpaid time off. Early voting will be the thing going forward

With less than two weeks until Election Day, more than 50 million people have already voted, and elections experts predict historic rates of turnout this cycle.


More than 257 million people in the U.S. are 18 or older, and nearly 240 million citizens are eligible to vote this year, according to Michael McDonald, a professor at the University of Florida who runs the U.S. Elections Project. Eligible voters include people living overseas but not non-citizens or people convicted of a felony, depending on state law.

It's possible that 85 million people could vote before Nov. 3, with 150 million voting in total, according to McDonald. That would mean an eligible voter turnout rate of more than 62%.

Hunter Biden was clearly trying to cash in off his family name from foreign entities.

I'm relieved the Trump kids would never do such a thing.
