Trump has dementia. It's very obvious and he's way less cognitively capable than Biden at any time and no one is doing anything .
Every accusation they make is an admission of their own incompetence
No one is talking about Trump.
👆 this
Ma'am, the whole world knew
Right. He never should have been put up for election in the first place, much less reelection. America, stop nominating geriatrics.
Except for Bernie, he's alright
I think Bernie would agree that AOC would be a better option.
She knew and she helped cover it up
Shut and retire like 15 years ago, Nancy.
i still think it's shameful that the reason he was no longer considered a good candidate wasn't the genocide that he was supporting but that he didn't have a good TV performance
Our modern world is morally bankrupt. It’s just nihilism across the board, and it appears to be spreading far and wide.
Just tell us what stocks to buy Nancy.
She needs to set up her own social network and then charge for the privilege first.
Someone else beat her to the punch.

Oh you knew bitch and did nothing. Stop the political theater and trying to absolve yourself you fucking Muppet.
Also how's your trades recently pelosi?
Pelosi is the last person who should talk about acting. She let everything slip when Trump was President the first time.
Yes. And as one of senior Democrats you could have raised the alarm in time to have an orderly, coordinated selection of a candidate. But you didn't. Try looking in a mirror when you're pointing fingers.
What should we do about Trump's mental faculties declining NOW?
Is this the political version of ‘I told you so’ — after it’s been far too late and obvious; indirectly and passively aggressively blaming yourself while also being part of the overall problem.
She must be talking about herself also. It is a big reason that helped Trump win because everyone could see it and they played in everyone's faces talking about how sharp he was. Just like now you can see it clearly with Trump expect his style is just random anger outbursts.
Seems disengeniuous. He stepped down mid fucking campaign. That is acting.
You can say all you like that people should have done it earlier or said something, but ffs your candidate acts a bit old or weird one day, do you go to the presses and say he's senile? Being under a lot of stress causes people to act funny. You don't know if it's too much until it's too much.
Add to that, Biden had a speech impediment. That automatically makes things look worse than they are, especially if you don't know about the speech impediment.
Mind you, I still think he should have stepped away way sooner. Then we could have had a proper primary.
do you go to the presses and say he's senile?
If he's literally senile, yes.
Well its the same with all races to the bottom. Currently they all know Trump needs to go, but they are all complicit in holding on to power as long as possible and not showing any weakness at any price.
The most generous interpretation of this is that she didn't know of his decline. And all that says is she was either wilfully ignorant or so senile herself that she couldn't notice. Neither are good for her.
She, and everyone paying attention knew. All the signs were there before he even announced he was running
