^^^^ "There's been Much news clutter regarding this during the past couple days. Everyone Can - and Does - cherry pick items & spin them for their purposes."
The article cited by Riz is dated six weeks or so after the article I cited. It's possible Both were accurate at the respective times of publication.
Riz (and others) don't accept that The Don's been tested & passed. Others do. Both groups can (and Will) cherry pick items & spin them to suit their purposes.
Judge for y'all's selves.
I might as Well say that. Cuz That's Exactly what every mother's son & daughter of ya are gonna do anyway.
There's been Much news clutter regarding this during the past couple days. Everyone Can - and Does - cherry pick items & spin them for their purposes.
This is from a coup months ago & suggests The Don has been administered a cognitive test, the results were made known & Ol' Joe has Not been tested ...
Yeah. I know. It's The Federalist. Let us stipulate that the article is written from a point of view & the Source has now been attacked. That'll save us All time & effort.
Still - It's a report from prior to the current news clutter & it provides evidence that The Don has taken & passed a cognitive test and Ol' Joe had Not taken such a test.
ALSO - I'm confident enough that Dr. Jo's elevator goes clear to the top floor that I could vote for her even Without seeing results of her Cognitive Test ...
True. These results differ from Zogby's - but are sufficient to support my Assertion...
Ol' Joe is WIDELY PERCEIVED to be in Early Stage Dementia.
Agreed. No Proof Exists ... because Ol' Joe seems not to have taken a Cognitive Test upon which such an assessment could be made.
AGAIN! The apparent reluctance of Team Ol' Joe to have their guy tested May Suggest they're covering up a condition that Legitimately raises questions of his fitness for the job he seeks.
Here's what we Know(!) - We'll know More after the debates.
Like releasing pent up toxic pus from a necrotic abscess. ... Much more desirable to do so Here than, fr'instance, at a family get together attended by a certain in-law. ...
I'm feeeeling much better now ... ____________________ Smaller Boat. Yes. Some of us are approaching the Downsize Season of human existence. ... Consciously Downsizing is also Cathartic.
Some I know IRL acknowledge Ol' Joe's losing his mind, but intend to vote for him anyway.
Some justify it by voting for the Party & its platform rather than the man. One makes No such justification - "I'd vote for Biden if he had a new contagious strain of Alzheimer's & it spread by watching him on TV."
I suspect a few of our esteemed bloggers/commenters think similarly.
A "Vote The Party, Not The Man" guy was Convinced he was all in for Ol' Joe I conjured the image of Ol' Joe at a G7 Summit ...
I'm pretty much convinced The Don is tolerable for Corporate 'Crats & the thought of his 2nd Term flutters their serenity not in the Least. That's 'bout the Only reason they'd let Ol' Joe be at the top of their ticket - They don't care a fig if he loses & no young up & comers gets a loss hung on 'em goin' into '24.
As far as Corporate 'Crats are concerned, The Don may be many things but there are a few really important things he's NOT ... He's NOT Comrade Bernard at the top of their ticket. He's NOT a Hard Right ideologue (e.g. Cruz) nor a scion of the Bush Crime Family.
It's worth noting that The Don spent much (most?) of his life as a 'Crat, or aligned with 'Crat pols & policies. Corporate 'Crats may be more comfortable with Him than Far Leftists. And Certainly Comrade Bernard!!
To his credit, he was having a fair to middlin' Good Day. If That Ol' Joe shows up for Three debates & doesn't fade before the two hours are up, it'll go better'n if the guy in String's vid arrives ...
Beyond that - None of the eight persons that he's addressing appears, shall we say, Energized & the whole thing was upstaged by chirping birds & rain.
The unveiling was posted by Leftie CNBC and even Then it's gotten more than See also comments on the Economic Recovery Plan unveiling
Hint to Team Ol' Joe - If your guy is widely perceived as being not far from sitting on a park bench, clutching a brown bag & muttering, "Krushchev will steal my string" ... A campaign slogan hinting at Nostalgia might not be the best way to go - "Build Back Better" ...Kinda like, Let's bring back them Good Ol' Days ...
1) Evidence suggests Ol' Joe's suffering some form of Dementia & the campaign has taken measures to conceal his condition - Like having Dr. Jill front for him.
2) Without necessarily accepting that is So, it does Not rule out the possibility that Ol' Joe's losing his mind - The two are Not mutually exclusive
I'm of the opinion that should Ol' Joe have just One Dementia Bad Day during a debate with The Don, it'll be Finis Ol' Joe Many undecided voters would be reluctant to vote for someone they perceive to be suffering from a malady which renders one unqualified for the job of Prez. (See some compilations of Ol' Joe on Bad Days - Can one Honestly envision him at, say, a G7 Summit Meeting? SERIOUSLY??)
When people See Ol' Joe, they perceive him as not up to the job. ...
@ 4:50 - "He did better in Primary States in which he did NOT campaign, because the more people see of him the more it's apparent the man's lost his danged mind."
Little wonder, then, that the Leftie NYT would carry an Op-Ed piece suggesting Ol' Joe try Something to avoid debating The Don - Like demanding conditions or no debates
In reality, the subject/blog topic is moot. Even Team Ol' Joe realized that demanding conditions or no debate would be Seen As a desperate attempt to keep their senile guy off the debate stage. Like a drowning man grabbing at a razor, one might say.
Team Ol' Joe has agreed to Three debates - The Don wanted Four.
Again - If Ol' Joe shows up to just ONE of those debates having a Dementia Bad Day, The Don Will be re-elected - quite likely in a Landslide. IMO
Who was sufficiently mediocre to search the NYT & provide a link to it for one lacking the mediocrity to do so & who suggested our esteemed OP was dreaming?? - Without which the mediocrity-challenged could't even participate in the discussion!
It ain't an isolated incident. Like the time the Perfesser concluded Chinese don't eat potatoes based on research he'd conducted while picking over left over French fries at an Asian KFC. Remember That one, Perfesser?
It's an Opinion - expressed in the Op-Ed (OPINION - Editorial) section of the NYT ...

Biden Should Not Debate Trump Unless …
By Thomas L. Friedman Opinion Columnist _______________________ True. It's the Opinion of the columnist. But equally True - The NYT has ultimate Control over what appears on its pages & that includes the Op-Ed Section.
@ 3:05 - "I Wish someone would run against me on the Biden Crime Bill" ...
'Publican attack ad fodder ... Stats on Mass Imprisoned Minorities ... Images of Imprisoned Minorities & the repeating loop @ 5:05 "They're beyond the Pale, some of 'em - Beyond The PALE!"
Big of Barry to acknowledge 'Crats might've received some Political Speech from Corporate Persons. Remarkable that he did it with a straight face. He must be a Helluva poker player.
The point of OLIGARCHY in a Two Party system is to control Both Parties so Oligarchy ALWAYS Wins.
The parties may rail at one another That's Good! The more they demonize one another, the more they reinforce the delusion that voters have a meaningful choice ... Quaint, huh?
Pols are even allowed to rail against Citizens United But you can bet a trainload of mail in ballots they'll never DO Anything that'll jeopardize the flow of Corporate Political Speech ... Like put a Socialist on a National Ticket - That ain't gonna happen
This year's 'Crat Primaries demonstrates how Oligarchy arranged to arrive at an acceptable option ('Most Any one other than Comrade Bernard) - Corporations don't Like Socialists & Political Speech $$$$ would Not flow to his campaign.
In '16 Pocahontas Warren backed Corporate 'Crat Hildebeest. She moved Bigly towards the Left when running in '20 - a Judas Goat to lead Progressive Feminists from the Comrade ... Which Speaks With Forked Tongue DID through Super Tuesday. She then pulled out, threw her support behind Presumptive Nominee Ol' Joe AND moved Bigly back toward the Corporate 'Crats. ... E.G. - "Single payer health care is no good, Obamacare just needs tweaking & insurance companies will still get their cut, I got rid of the Socialist, & I'm a Minority Woman now pick me for Veep ...
