Look, I’ve cared for several family members with dementia and he has the unmistakable visage and behavior. Look, this is the EDITED version of the interview. (Can’t wait to see what the inedited version looks like.) Look, this is George Stephanopoulos throwing softballs and trying to help him out and it’s miserable. Look . . . It was saddening, revolting and scary all at once- this geriatric patient is still our President.

I agree, he does not look well.

Of particular concern are his eyes. One of them appears unnaturally droopy--and if it is that means he's had one or more significant strokes.

I have compassion for him as a human being -- no one should have their infirmity put on display like this, or have it turned into a national sport. That the Bidens and the Democrats are doing that is several levels beyond revolting.

Yet we have to confront the reality that this is the state of Joe Biden today. This is the state of the 81 year old Joe Biden today. And 81 means this is as good as it gets. This is the best we can hope for from him.

I am far from enthusiastic about a second term of Donald Trump. After the way he completely fumbled the COVID nonsense in 2020, after the way he helped Big Pharma crank out the mRNA inoculations, which have cost who know how many lives, there is no way I can feel even remotely confident that Trump back in the Oval Office is going to end well for the United States or for what remains of our Constitutional Republic.

And yet....Trump is emerging as the best (which is to say the least bad) alternative we have.

In all fairness, I think Trump did the best he could with the information and “scientific data” he was given. He trusted too many of his “advisors,” many of whom stabbed him in the back.

Our economy was doing great, border was under control, no new wars, energy independent, middle east peace and a carefully planned withdrawal from Afghanistan.

All of that went to hell the first day of the new administration.

Trump is definitely not perfect but he truly loves this country and is being persecuted because of it. He could have just given up but he’s still out there fighting for US!

No one else is interested in saving our constitutional republic.

P.S. I think we all know it’s not Bribem running the show.

I would be more forgiving of Trump if he had confined his mistakes to the initial lockdowns and acknowledged that he was wrong. He's done neither.

For operation Warp Speed, however, there is no excuse. He facilitated the most egregious episode of pharmaceutical authoritarianism we've ever seen. That's not something we should ignore.

Agreed.

I also thought Golden Man’s response to CV19 was a total disaster. (Did he get completely suckered by the bureaucrat “experts” like he claims or did he just not give it the thought and consideration that he should have.) But, Golden Man is the only game in town. I just pray that he wins, takes SCOTUS’s lead, and uses a second term to cut through the chains of the federal regulatory state that are dragging our nation down to serfdom.

My impression from this interview is that Biden is doing ‘okay’ for a man in his early eighties. He can still dress and feed himself, so he doesn’t need to move to a nursing home or anything. But he sounded heavily coached, and consciously striving to be coherent. I have no confidence that he will have consistent ‘good days’ for the next four years. I don’t want this man to have his trigger finger on nuclear weapons. I don’t want a person of unreliable cognition calling the shots in a war.

Time to retire, Joe.

(And kudos to the interviewer for being respectful yet a tenacious bulldog in going after the crucial question.)

Yes, Joe, definitely a bad episode. From the minute when George Stephanopoulos asks him if he ever watched the debate afterwards and Biden reponds, " No I don't think I did.". I knew this was going to be a bad episode as well. Seriously? He didn't know if he watched the debate afterwards? What else could his response have meant??????????????????????

He certainly did not look vibrant and vigorous and ready to run the Free World.

And another thing, Stephanopoulos didn't even question him about it, so contrary to what some are saying, some of the media is still covering for him.

Stephanopoulos was a Democrat toady before he was a "journalist". That part should surprise no one.

Hell, I've got better journalistic chops than he does, by a country mile.

Thank you for doing this. It’s hard to believe the media are saying “it’s a solid interview” trying to prop him up, good interviews should be a natural given for the POTUS. He says the same exact words/phrases as Trump and avoids answering Qs like Trump so they’re identical in hubris, but his delivery is softer, his narcissism is covert rather than loud and malignant.

He’s running the world and doing the goodest he can.

Scary part is that's probably true....

You could play it on a computer and tape the interview with your phone.

I could just screen record it straight off the computer as well.

My main concern is that this video not disappear from sight under a rubric of "copyright" claim (as has happened with some of the debate video footage from last year).

I've archived this Substack link, so if I do end up having to take it down, it will be memorialized somewhere.

Call it a hunch, but I suspect this is going to be an important bit of video footage. I don't want it disappeared.
