@hannu_ikonen It's more embarassing than that: one of the supposed statements of "confusion" was Biden asking "was I Vice President in 2017?"
It is possible that this is evidence of dementia, but...I am thinking of the various questions that would elicit this answer. I'm pretty sure this was Biden responding to a stupid question with a rhetorical one.
@hannu_ikonen The other one was a claim that Biden didn't remember when Beau died. That's possible, but he's spoken publicly about Beau's death so many times that it would have to be a very recent change, and that's such a BFD that I have to assume that if the claim was real, Jill would have asked him to resign herself.
So I have some serious doubts about these assertions.
@UncivilServant @hannu_ikonen You remember feelings, you remember who was there, you remember silly details about what you saw when you found out. You do not memorise the year as if it's a history test.
@UncivilServant @hannu_ikonen
He WAS VP in 2017 until January 20. Seems like a trick question somehow.
@UncivilServant @hannu_ikonen That’s one of those questions you ask if it was implied, spuriously, that you were - not if you don’t actually know.
For what it’s worth, the correct answer to such a question would be “technically, yes, for nineteen and one half days up to the insurrectionist’s inauguration.”
@UncivilServant @hannu_ikonen That's what I got! He was being sarcastic. However, the screaming disrespectful little shit so called "journalists" obviously didn't catch it over their obnoxious inappropriate yelling!
