The Hunter Biden Thread

Gorbles said:
I think it's a safe assumption that the President of the United States has such a professional team at their beck and call.

Also, I lose my train of thought frequently. Always have. It's no more a sign of dementia than brushing my teeth is. In that it's such a minor, common thing, that can be a symptom of a huge range of things (benign or otherwise) that linking it specifically to dementia is trying a tad too hard.

What are we discussing in this tangent? It's an official symptom of those diseases, not some view :)

The ignoble saga of Hunter certainly doesn't make it easier for Joe either.

They're also symptoms of a ton of other things. I've made this point a few times now, is it going to help if I type it out yet again? 🤷‍♂️

Having a mark on your skin is a common thing to have. It can also, theoretically, be a sign of a form of cancer. Oh no! Everybody has cancer!

That's the kind of thing people are trying, here. Like I said, it comes across as trying too hard.

My grandad was perfectly sharp at 80 and capable of recalling things that happened to him 50 years ago. He also exhibited all the stuff certain folk are trying to slap on Biden. He didn't have dementia. He still doesn't.
 
It's why neurological evaluation is triggered by the patient having x number (or more) of the symptoms in a set. If you tick x or more, you (Joe) very likely have it, so evaluation has to take place and be announced if you are running for potus again.

I feel there isn't anything more to say - ElMachinae isn't here as a professional in that field - so let's return to the younger Biden ^^

Again, see my (edited in) anecdote about my grandad.

Biden doesn't have dementia. He's just an old dude leading a nation. It ages folk. I'm not saying "poor Biden" or anything like that. His administration has made a bunch of decisions I disagree with (not that it's relevant to me as a Brit, but y'know, politically speaking). Maybe his critics should actually try and attack him for his policies and whatnot, instead of trying to (in a non-professional capacity) diagnose him of a condition there are people literally in the White House more equipped to diagnose?

one of the things I recall is them repeating the same just crazy ideas over & over, which had no basis in reality - just made up stuff. Even when we reacted to them, & tried over & over to tell them they weren't correct & these ideas were just in their head. No matter what was presented to them to the contrary, they'd keep repeating the same thoughts, the same phrases. Even when you presented them with evidence that what they believed was not current reality, they kept reverting to what they "knew" was true. It was painful to go through at times.

So Trump, his entire cult and Foxnews have more symptoms of dementia than Biden.

Which, weirdly, you completely ignored. We can only guess why!

If you think the symptoms of dementia are formulated too vague, I suggest you send an email to the NHS that they should be more specific.

You should understand that, unlike some other conditions, dementia is measured on a scale. So having one or few symptoms doesn't necessarily dementia. Having more is more problematic.
Time, seriousness, frequency, quantity... they all play a role.

And if you have anecdotal evidence that the symptoms are not correct, maybe you should include that in the same email.

Biden is 80 and at the very least needs an evaluation by professionals

The idea that the 80 year old President is not already being evaluated by professionals like weekly is pretty funny tbh
 
Not as funny as not bothering to inform the public if so which is asked to vote for him at over 80. That said, it'd be nice to not quote me more on this, since I am not of the view this tangent belongs in this particular thread nor did I start it. Maybe start a "Is Biden senile?" thread (don't feel like doing so either).

They are already much more detailed than posted here. There is a certain amount of ambiguity, as there frequently is when there are multiple differential diagnoses. Here is the NICE summary, here is a questionnaire used by medics, and here is a whole pdf from the Alzheimer’s Association, and the flowchart from that to give an idea of the complexity is below.

Personally, don't care. When choosing leaders, virtue>intelligence. I wouldn't describe Biden as virtuous but he only needs to be more virtuous than Trump, which is true of 99.999999% of people.
 
The chad* coke-head crook president's son.
Cfc sucks, but we all try.

*afaik one at least needs to look nice, to be a chad, so he isn't. Chad-lifestyle, I guess.
 
Moderator Action: Remindier: this is the Hunter Biden thread. If his father shows signs of dementia is another discussion entirely.

They fixed that burned, collapsed bridge in two weeks. Really lazy huh?

It's also debatable whether the private sector is more efficient than the public. The US has an economy built on underpaid labor that can't afford healthcare and housing. If that's efficient, you can have it.

That bridge was fixed by a private construction company. Paid for by government funds, sure, but it wasn't fixed by 'government employees'.

And...? Private contractors do most of this type of work. Why pay for a construction crew and all its necessary equipment that will mostly sit still while Congress once again fails to produce infrastructure bills. Governments of all sizes do have road crews for updates and maintenance. You should also understand that PRIVATE demand for private roads and bridges is incredibly small. If it wasn't for government contracts, 90% of these private road companies would be out of business. I see nothing wrong with public- private cooperation in certain areas. After, the US is not a socialist country wherein the government runs all the manufacturing enterprises. We're not China for goodness sake.
