I disagree. His vocabulary has been getting noticably smaller with each
passing year. His verbal gaffs are legend and getting worse.

For me, the difference is that you could just watch Biden’s decline in

been a bit daffy. I don’t see much of a downward a trend.

It's been pretty obvious to me that the current president is a few
sandwiches short of a picnic for about the last 10 years.
Bet no one in his current circle will point that out, but a lot of
people that used to be in his circle have.

Just finished Jake Tapper’s “Original Sin” book. First half was
interesting, second half gets pretty tedious. Main takeaway for
me: Nobody around Biden had the guts to tell him how the rest of
the world was perceiving his cognitive state. His wife was the
main mechanic of the situation. No cognitive tests. I loved the
part where George Clooney got really pissed at an event when Biden
didn’t know him. (Apparently they had been buds for a long
time.) In any event he really crapped the bed by running. It
appears things could have been massively different if there was a
real primary for the Dems. The book was sad and depressing
IMHO. They did identify the group by name that internally was
called “The Politburo” that essentially “handled” the president
and had a large influence on everything. But the book left the
impression that they stopped short of just locking him away and
being in control. They tried to at least have the appearance of
keeping him in the loop. I would not recommend the book only
because it is pretty boring and not really too much new info in
there. No bombshells. Nothing scandalous other than a sad
picture into a scene that was a bit worse than I suspected.
