There is something seriously wrong with Joe Biden, and its not a cheap partisan shot to point it out. The man is running for president. From Caitlin Johnstone at caitlinjohnstone.com:
Gaffelighting¹, noun.
Meaning: When narrative managers insist that obvious signs of serious mental deterioration are just innocuous “gaffes”.
E.g. “I know what dementia symptoms look like, stop gaffelighting me.”
~
“God that was so awful.”
“I know! I never want to think about 2016 again!”
“Well the good news is the 2020 election can’t possibly go any worse.”
“True.”
“I mean, the Democrats would have to literally run an actual, clinically diagnosable dementia victim to do any worse in 2020.”

Dismissing Biden’s neurological misfires as “gaffes” is so gross. “Oh, he’s always had gaffes.” Yes, he’s often said dumb/gross things. He’s never previously been incapable of remembering elementary facts and stringing words into coherent thoughts, as we are seeing now. Those aren’t “gaffes”.
If Biden had been exhibiting these neurological misfirings his entire life, some Media Matters hack would long ago have published a compilation video of the most egregious highlights from his long career. The footage doesn’t exist. There’s footage of Biden saying things that are politically embarrassing in retrospect, there’s footage of him saying things he should have thought through more, and there’s some slight, occasional stuttering that never stood out as abnormal. Nothing like the mess we see today.

The entire 2020 US election may have come down to a race between time and the progression of Joe Biden’s dementia.

I don’t think anyone who is sincere and honest with themselves can truly believe that Biden beats Trump. I know the Democratic establishment doesn’t believe it, and I’m pretty sure rank-and-file Democrats don’t actually believe it deep down in their guts either.
