[NY Times] ‘My Memory Is Fine,’ a Defiant Biden Declares After Special Counsel Report

All these fashion tips are utterly useless when more than half of your mind is gone.

 

Nonsense

When you're lookin good... you're feelin good.

 

I tried that to my pet monkey brah. No matter how many cool clothes I put on that simian, he refused to form proper words and just shrieked at me.

 

Surprised Beau posted a video about the situation...and makes more sense than most comments here combined.

 

He may be right that the special prosecutor did not have sufficient evidence, but his defense of Biden’s cognitive abilities is laughable. Anyone that has watched Biden’s few public appearances and concludes that he is not in serious cognitive decline is fooling themselves or have never dealt with a loved one with dimentia. Neither of these two candidates is fit for office.

 

Anyone that can watch this clip, which is not even his most confused press conference, and say that Biden is dementia free is delusional themselves. Forget all the fox pontifications. The problem is that this is occurring most every time Biden is speaking in public. Video evidence of cognitive decline is pretty much only being published by Fox, which is also concerning from a supposedly free press. It is a serious problem that both our candidates have severe mental problems and the media and both parties should be raising the red flag.

 

Is Clinton running again? Makes sense, he's younger than Biden.

 

Gotta vote for the facsist rapist.

 

Biden confused the names of Mexico and Egypt. Gotta vote for the guy who wants Russia to take over our allies. Fewer countries on the map means less to forget!

 

Can't forget where Sweden is located if it doesn't exist. Rollsafe.gif

 

No. He threatens democracy. If that man regains the presidency, this country will be forever changed. Conservatives will be happy with that at first, so they can "take back" their country. But ultimately, as what happens with autocratic rule, the economy will tank and as he tightens his grip more and more, he will run out of people to blame and meat to throw at people and will need to resort to the type of tyranny you see in a state like Russia.

So maybe you can call Russia a democracy, but we all know it actually isn't.

 

I've gotta rock with Biden for another term when this is the alternative...

"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."

 

Many of Trump's former senior cabinet members, the ones who arent facing court dates or jailtime, don't like Trump and will speak out against voting for him.

Any presidency will have forced resignations among appointees and cabinet members. There are much more Trump rejects than Biden rejects, that's for sure.

 

Lol. I was jamming to this before I headed out to the gym this morning. Good track for warming up.

 

Former US attorney says special counsel report’s details on Biden’s memory were ‘gratuitous, superfluous statements’

“But as it relates to memory about the particular date and precise date of his son’s death that had no place in this document,” he added.

Bharara contended the detail “makes no sense” in the report.

“In a context in which you appointed special counsel to be above politics and away from politics, he’s provided political grist to the opponents of Joe Biden, as a matter of politics,” Bharara added.

I know it's not fair to compare a presidential candidate's speech to a high schooler's, but here it is anyway. I asked Claude and ChatGPT to grade this speech using a high school scale. The prompt was: "Honestly review and rate this speech, which was given by a presidential candidate. Grade it using a high school scale. Analyze organization, critical thinking, arguments, logic, persuasion, and grammar."

Claude AI:

The speech lacks clear structure or main message. It jumps between disparate topics like nuclear weapons, the speaker's uncle, negotiations with Iran, and comments about women. There are run-on sentences and fragmented ideas.

The tone comes across as rambling, boastful, and scattered. The speaker seems more focused on touting their own credentials than making a coherent point. There are inappropriate generalizations about groups like Persians and women.

Overall, the speech demonstrates poor organization, critical thinking, and sensitivity. The arguments are unsupported and the logic is hard to follow. For a high school level speech, I would give it a D. The speaker needs to work on staying focused, structuring their ideas logically, and supporting their points with evidence. Sensitivity towards different groups also needs improvement. More clarity, preparation and purpose would strengthen the speech.

​

ChatGPT3.5:

Overall, it lacks clarity and cohesiveness, making it challenging to follow the candidate's intended message. Here's a brief assessment:

Organization: The speech is poorly organized, with ideas scattered without a clear structure. It jumps between topics, making it difficult for the audience to grasp a central theme or argument. A more organized approach with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion would enhance its effectiveness.

Critical Thinking: The speech lacks depth in critical thinking. The ideas presented are disjointed and don't form a coherent argument. A more thoughtful analysis of the nuclear deal and the situation with the prisoners would have strengthened the candidate's position.

Arguments: The arguments are weak and often veer off track. The mention of the candidate's uncle and genes seems irrelevant to the political issues discussed. There's a need for more focused and logically sound arguments to persuade the audience.

Logic: The logical flow of the speech is disrupted by tangential remarks and abrupt transitions. Logical reasoning is crucial in conveying a persuasive message, and this speech falls short in maintaining a logical progression of ideas.

Persuasion: Persuasion relies on a clear and compelling narrative, which is missing here. The speech doesn't effectively build a case or address counterarguments, making it less persuasive overall.

Grammar: While the speech doesn't contain glaring grammatical errors, the use of repetitive phrases and fragmented sentences contributes to its overall lack of coherence. A more polished and grammatically refined delivery would improve the candidate's credibility.

Overall Grade: C- The speech could benefit significantly from improved organization, critical thinking, stronger arguments, better logic, and enhanced grammar. A more focused and structured approach would elevate its effectiveness in communicating the candidate's message.​
