The media is acting like this is a done deal, nothing to see here move it along. I'm doubtful that Trump is going to be able to pull it off, I doubt that they will find enough cases of fraud in voting but we'll see in the coming weeks.

Really? From what school did you receive your medical degree(s)?

Biden is hit an miss. One day he seems relatively normal and lucid, next time you seem him he's out in left field.

I have no clue how he was able to keep it together for the whole debate. I was shocked actually.

It fluctuates. My relative who has it is completely normal one day, and then can barely get out a sentence without mangling phrases and using wrong words the next day. I tend not to correct her when she speaks, because she’s at the stage that she realizes she fumbling things and it would only make her feel bad.

my MIL is 84 I believe, and she's starting to lose it. Not remembering things, repeating herself. I don't have direct experience with Alzheimer's or dementia, but lots of people on this forum have family members that have gone through that experience and I've seen lots of posters here saying that they are seeing similarities in Biden.

My MIL is think is probably still in the realm of "old timers", but we will have to see I guess.

I wished it would hurry up and get announced either way if trump won or not. I hate this middle ground spot we're in. Not sure if he truly lost or not at this point.

I'm a graduate of the same school. My mother died of Alzheimers at age 94, so I'm an alumna as well. I helped her every step of the way from age 89 when I nursed her personally (while my husband was at home with cancer) until the end when I visited her every week from out of state. That still doesn't qualify me to "diagnose" anyone else with dementia or similar diseases.

Makes you wonder how long they will prop him up before they declare him unfit, and bring in Kamala as president.

lol, its ridiculous that a congressman said that and it required no follow up or explanation, what does that mean? not acting like people who won?

You were shocked but it didnt change your mind correct? You encountered facts, that you can see and prove that ran contrary to what you think and instead of reassessing your mental model, you find it shocking and weird? That checks out.
