#1 I used to date a social worker who said there are two broad classes of dementia patients: the placid and the belligerent. We know Joe ain't placid. But we don't hear any shrieking about how bad it would be to have him near the "football."

...The little-g good news here is that even the person behind the Resolute desk cannot order a nuclear strike completely on his or her own - a second individual actually physically present(SecDef, NSA, possibly VPOTUS, CJCS, and likely SecState) MUST concur, or all the codes in the world won't do a bit of good. If Biden suddenly got it into his head to glass Jacksonville or Brazzaville it's not likely to happen, no more than it would be with DJT. And on reflection, this proves that the Democratic terrors of DJT suddenly deciding to nuke something are no more than unhinged fantasies or attempts to make political points among the unknowing because they know perfectly well how the system works.

My biggest concern along those lines is that when our enemies try us after Biden gets elected - and we know good and damned well that they will - that the stress and speed of such an event will overwhelm him, and we're faced with a President who simply cannot make a decision or worse, is simply crying in a corner. We have lots of contingencies in the event of losing POTUS, trust me on that. We don't have one in the event they have a nervous breakdown.

#3 We used to call this "senile" back when my grandmother was 90.

The question that worries me is who are the puppet masters pulling his strings and what do they have in store for us if he wins?

I fear that all hell is soon to break loose.

Frank,

I don't think it will ever get that far...because long before that, Vice President Harris will be leaking Biden's condition like a sieve and pushing hard behind the scenes for a 25th Amendment finding.

For Joe's own good, of course.
