    That's a strawman that couldn't hold up to a 1MPH gentle breeze. Such and obvious reach and awful angle. Almost an admission of defeat it's so bad.

    Their 'concern' for democracy might go over a little better if they weren't avidly supporting a guy who tried to overthrow our democracy.

    The lost look in Biden's eyes was telling.
    Any honest person would admit this is apples and oranges.

    Reagan was pretty cognizant when he wrote his letter telling us about his Alzheimer's diagnosis, years after leaving Washington. There is video of him walking into work in L.A., years after leaving Washington.

    His farewell address after 8 years was miles ahead of anything Biden can deliver after 4 years. It wasnt even close to the lack of focus and thought that we have sadly seen from President Biden.

    A reminder of his condition at the end of his 8 years:

    And Biden looked great during the State of the Union. And that wasn't even taped. Again, the difference is that you liked one, so chose to focus on the positive, and didn't like the other, so chose to focus on the negative. Both had moments where they were with it and other moments where they were seemingly drifting off.

    Its just dishonest to say they are the same. Biden hasnt looked right for some time. Staring into space. Mouth hanging open... Reagan looked fine at the end of 8 and Biden looked terrible at the end of just 4.

    Anyone saying different is just playing games.

    Sure, totally dishonest to claim that they are similar. Meanwhile, from contemporaneous accounts to the time that you think he was totally with it:

    His own lawyers were saying that he had a "faulty memory" from the time that you are claiming he was totally with it.

    And, just from the first few questions about who was in his administration:

    So he is having trouble remembering when his top advisors/major cabinet secretaries worked for him.

    Again, the difference is you liked one and not the other. So your brain has filed them in different places, despite displaying the exact same behavioral patterns.

    Yeah, if you lived through it, you know this narrative is BS. Again, no Trump fan, but we had no idea whatsoever that he was suffering from Alzheimer's.

    Meh. I didn't really like either, but there really is no comparison. Again, maybe that's internal management or the lack of media outlets, but optically there was no comparison. We never had an inkling that Reagan was losing his grip.
