The only opinion that should matter is a non-partisan panel of mental health professions that do an actual examination of a person. I think it is time we include that in the qualifications for any Federal Government position not paid by the hour.

There were no good options. The alternatives were a pervert's wife who'd straight up called me a deplorable and then a man who professes my Catholic Faith with one side of his mouth while simultaneously stabbing it in the back with the other.
A Russian partisan once said of WWII, "We had a choice between two dictators. We chose the one who spoke Russian."
Same boat. We chose the dude with the R next to his name and at least did what he said, be it for good or ill.

That's fine. But I'm not talking about who you voted for. I'm talking about those who speak of Joe Biden having dementia or mentally challenged in some capacity by citing how he can have lapses in memory where he forgets peoples names, or how he stutters.
I then point to those same people and point at all the times Trump spoke stupid - and watch those people either A) fall silent. Or, B) defend it.

True of Moses.
I felt it necessary to disclaim that this logic doesn't apply to Trump....

I mean, I never felt like Trump was really more or less eloquent than most New Yorkers I've heard speak.
Just me though. I'm a Western country boy, haha.

I've been Pacific Northwest for the majority of my life. Can relate.
