    There’s nothing uncertain about Biden at this point. It’s a matter of being in denial or anger.

      It’s too bad there’s no plan-b if he does actually get impaired for real during his administra-- oh wait. There is.

      And she’d only be more awesome if she dragged an eligible AOC in as her vice. Asses kicked, names taken.

      I think what they’re getting at is that we’re uncertain the extent age will affect his duties. Will his cabinet and other advisors be really “in control,” or will Biden insist on his way forcing others to kowtow. It is certain that the dude is old as hell and if it were he alone, he would be incapable of the job. Since there’s a staff and a ton of advisors, the degree of control they have is, well, uncertain.

        It’s already clear that the extent is large and growing, whether it’s dementia or Parkinson’s doesn’t really matter. He’s effectively a puppet now, and it’s not going to get better. He has minor slip ups in the completely controlled environment they try to keep him in. It’s denial to pretend it won’t get worse, or it’s not actually that bad.
