Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

To be honest, I don't think I believe he has Parkinson's. To my knowledge it doesn't track with his symptoms and it is entirely possible that someone else in the white house is being treated for it. All the same, it's very clear at this point that Biden is suffering from his age and is probably experiencing dementia. But this feels like something that's just getting rolled into the feeding frenzy of people finally acknowledging his state.

I don't think the issue is whether or not he actually has it. It's that there's def a doctor checking to make sure he doesn't which mean he's got some real fucking bad health and combined with the 10-4 work schedule says he's being propped up for a few hours a day and the rest of the time he's probably not even lucid.

Maybe. It could also be something else. The important thing for me is that this is neither confirmed nor necessary to express and demonstrate how unfit for office Biden is. Focus on the obvious evidence. I don't really believe it, but it could even be a red herring to be disproven and then used to paint doubters of his mental faculties as "conspiracy theorists".

My impression is that there's a coup happening in the party. I noticed that the media didn't even try to play it off when he fell apart at the debate.

The taboo talking about the fact that he's a vegetable has finally been broken, and it seems like the oligarchs want him gone.

It would be wild if it comes out that not only does he have Parkinson's, but he's using medical marijuana to control his symptoms:

Eight-seven percent of patients (n = 60) were noted to exhibit an improvement in any PD symptom after starting MC. Symptoms with the highest incidence of improvement included cramping/dystonia, pain, spasticity, lack of appetite, dyskinesia, and tremor.

Here's a short video of the effects in action. Night & day difference in <5 minutes.

dementia combined with weed for the Parkinson's and Adderall for focus would be a hell of a cocktail
