The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Again, I've seen it up close. If Biden is in early dementia, it has yet to set itself apart from simple slowing with age. Almost everyone does. That is different than dementia. Trump has dementia, or at least the early stages of it, as near as I can tell. Biden? Maybe, maybe not. But he definitely is showing his age.

Zero percent? I know you're being hyperbolic. He may serve out his four years, he may not. Same as Trump. Both men are showing their age. Which is why I said the VP choices could be very interesting. I think Trump's likely dementia complicates the picture for him. They may have to 25th Amendment him. If Biden lasts physically, he'll probably last cognitively. As I said, he doesn't have the same obvious signs Trump does, so if there is a problem, he is earlier on in the process.

Not a medical professional (obviously). Just comparing to 1poormom, and some of the people I saw in her memory care unit.
