You know Biden has been on camera for decades, right?
These rhetorical questions sound very condescending.
Yes, I know the basics of neurology and anatomy. I also know that you’re less likely to focus and use those mental functions if you’re exhausted from travel and sickness, which I’ve experienced before at less than half his age.
There is literal decades of science about how aging effects the brain.
Yes, geriatrics is a branch of medicine.
My point about his stutter is that people are pretending that he’s far worse than he is because he struggled that night with his speech. He’s not excellent and yet not outright incapable because his executive functions are all there. You can piece together what he’s trying to say but it’s just not coming out how he intends to. The format of the event where he gets cut off instead of taking a deep breath and trying again unfortunately accentuates it. And if he’s still incumbent and doing fine without any obvious characteristic signs of severe mental decline that are not expected for his age, why should we focus so hard on it? You can see that he’s fine in the ABC interview.
And I will not accept your claim that his stutter was only during his teenage years. Those are life-long conditions. I should know because I have one.

Did you not watch the interview?
He was back 12 days from the overseas trip before the debate, and Biden contradicted himself by saying it wasn’t a virus and then it was a cold.
Seriously, it’s a good interview, they brought up a lot of tough questions and would repeat when he wouldn’t answer.

But it was far worse than a stutter…
I literally just gave you a 36 year timeline of his public speaking abilities…
and doing fine without any obvious characteristic signs of severe mental decline that are not expected for his age, why should we focus so hard on it?
Because “for his age” is him breaking his own world record for “oldest American president”…
And four years ago it was already a valid concern.
You can see that he’s fine in the ABC interview.
I can not…
The one that I linked for “now” up there?
Like, even if you mean you personally consider that “fine” theres noway that you can think people don’t have a valid reason to question after the interview.
And I will not accept your claim that his stutter was only during his teenage years.
Fine, but I can’t provide links of every single time Biden spoke publicly on video and expect you to watch all of it to verify.
You just need to find one video of Biden stuttering before 2012 when I said it came back. Hell, let’s just say the 2012 video I linked. Give me a timestamp where he’s as bad as he is now and I’ll say I’m wrong.
Those are life-long conditions.
You think it’s literally impossible to overcome a stutter?
I don’t think you understand how common stuttering was back then for kids. Biden got rid of it by fifth grade, completely gone with no trace before he went to college.
Like, it happens now less commonly, but how do you think everyone with a childhood stutter continues to have a stutter? And how is Biden so special his disappeared for 60 years?
