President Biden closes gun control speech in USA with 'God save the Queen'

His lifetime documented stammer in other words?

Blubbering mess by other candidates hmm

Pence must be cognitively declining also.

It is relevant to making speeches which you seem to be using as a measure for cognitive decline (your partner in crime seems to have given up on fact based reality entirely at this stage).

Do you accept that some of the gaffes are likely related to a lifelong stammer?

So, you think the gaffes cause the stammer?

Righto.

Exit stage reality rapidash.

Go and say that to someone with a stammer and let us know how you get on.

Props to your latest incarnation being as singularly awful as your last one was.

What are your medical or psychiatric credentials to opine on what is and what isn't stammering? Who are you to refute any other layperson pointing out this is stammering?

"The physical act of stammering can be a tiny part of the experience. Growing up with a stammer, anticipating times when you'll need to talk, the negative responses, the ever-present expectation that you need fixing or need to breathe properly. Feelings of shame, embarrassment, anger, anxiety and fear. Frustration that saying one's name — the one thing that most people who stammer will find hard to say — will stymie your every encounter. The frustration of not being taken seriously. For many people who stammer it is this aspect of having a stammer which forms the greater part of the experience, and there are many people out there who swap words, avoid contact, keep silent, so that people don't know that they stammer."

You yourself keep criticising him when he says he's going to get in trouble for getting off script, ie. he will start stammering etc.

Alright, if you want to allege that, prove that. We had 4 years of trump, and TENS OF THOUSANDS of posts on Boards.ie about Trump. So if you think there is an inconsistency, I entreat you to prove that inconsistency. If that's too much bother for you then all you have is personal incredulity and counterfactual conjecture, which wasn't worth pointing out whatsoever.

This, as bad as it looks, is still not as bad as when he said Ireland beat the black and tans during his visit here. That was pretty bad - Obviously very easy to confuse the two.

He has to be struggling though - there is videos of him doing the rounds online where he has to guided physically into position during speeches and brought off again after a few words. The health cant be super.

What dementia?

Do you honestly think Trump is much better? Thought he could overthrow election results, ok to store thousands of classified documents and boast about it.

They are 2 geriatrics, and there aren't exactly any rising stars ready to challenge them.

Thankfully US presidents these days are little more than figureheads and the real decisions are made by their advisors, with the President little more than doing the PR. Just look at all the international conferences. Deals hammered out by advisors, and the heads of state show up at the end to rubber stamp them.

• memory loss.
• difficulty concentrating.
• finding it hard to carry out familiar daily tasks, such as getting confused over the correct change when shopping.
• struggling to follow a conversation or find the right word.
• being confused about time and place.
• mood changes.

Right lets try this one more time.

Joe Biden is the US president. He is the most watched, recorded and analysed person on the planet. He is watched and recorded where-ever he goes. Having watched him in Ireland, well over 90% of the time he was perfectly fine, which of course is ignored by you. He made a few faux pas. Like us all, except yourself who never made a mistake. The perfectly ok times are ignored by you, the occassional faux pas are highlighted and jumped on.

Its tiresome. Move on.

Out of interest, who do you think would make a better president?

If its possible to be critical of Trump why arent you?

Any objective analysis of your post history contradicts this entirse pretence and demonstrates a partisan standpoint.

The vast majority of your posts are unprompted criticisms of Democrats or defences of Republicans.

Unprompted criticisms of Republicans because of such actions as January 6th, or Trump harassment of sexual assault victim... nowhere to be seen.

If you want to go down the objective analysis route... then yes it is obvious you are posting here to score partisan points.

Biden has been making verbal gaffes for decades. This isnt even the first time he has used the phrase God Save the Queen in a domestic speech.

And Biden still has more sense than Trump who daily opens his mouth to incriminate himself further.

Biden was in Ireland this year in fine fettle. With the obligatory verbal gaffe about the Black and Tans. His schedule and speeches here are clear refutations of the armchair doctors clueless comments about dementia and cognitive decline.

Barring a mod getting involved, you don't decide the subject of the thread, if people want to make comparisons to other politicians and likely opponents of Biden they are free to do so, yes, everyone realises that makes your position farcical, but that's not the first time.

And to praise a right wing politician, I think Johnson was better at the pulpit than Biden is, but not as good as Obama.

Is it okay to mention Johnson?

Yes, we want to see his medical records before we can form an opinion 🙄

Most have to agree, he came to Ireland and charmed the pants off us with his wit and oratory. He quoted poets and poetry. He even remembered what one of our own small time politicians told him - Mayo for Sam.

Contrast his speeches without notes and staring the audience in the eye to Leo Varadkar who read every single one of his speeches without barely looking up.

And yet Bidens the guy with a bad memory?

I'm sorry this is a thread about the current leader of the US - I could not give a fiddlers F about the former president.

Let me put it this way - If he was doing all the same things as president Biden I would be of exactly of the same opinion.
