What happened to Joes dementia?

[Rawley]

Yall have been saying he has dementia for a couple years now. There’s no way somebody a few years deep with dementia gets up and reads a teleprompter speech with ad libs like Biden did for an hour. Yall are nuts if you think that happened

?? The progression of the disease can take years.

You’d have to have actually listened.

Clearly, you didn’t.

Plus, the stumbling, fumbling, bumbling mumbling old demented coot was reading his handlers’ speech off a teleprompter. Yeah. He sucks at that skill, too. But it beats the hell out of his ability to speak extemporaneously.

He has always fumbled and bumbled and gaffed. Yall have been lying and claiming he is dead or has dementia for years now. It’s pathetic. Yall did the same thing with Hillary

He has always fumbled and bumbled and gaffed. Yall have been lying and claiming he is dead or has dementia for years now.

He has clearly had dementia for years.

Again, to notice you’d have to have had your eyes, ears and mind open. Therefore, of course, you’re clueless.

It’s pathetic. Yall did the same thing with Hillary

Damn. You’re dull and disingenuous.

People who have had dementia for years don’t give hour long speeches to stadiums of people

Nonsense.

Drug the demented old fart up. Give him his script. Hope he doesn’t try to do anything off script. Promise him an extra scoop of ice cream.

But you are free to believe your silly fantasy.

Nope doesn’t work that way.

What during allows somebody with dementia to do that?

 

[Mac1958]

Joe spoke for nearly an hour on stage to a stadium of people well into the night… what happened to the dementia I’ve been hearing about over the past few months?

Well, he never had it, of course.

There's a difference between age-related slowing/decline and dementia. It affects us all differently, in different ways, at different ages. Any adult of reasonable intelligence knows this. And it's certainly not surprising it would affect an already-elderly man who is President of the United States this markedly, since the position historically ages people at an increased rate. Clearly this is what has happened with Biden.

The Trumpsters -- not knowing or understanding actual definitions of words with more than one syllable, as usual -- adopted the term and ran with it because they're drawn to partisan-based hysterical hyperbole like a bee is drawn to honey.

Where did you get your MD? How long have you studied gerontology? WHY do they give old demented folks like Potato any meds if no meds work?

 

[Slade3200]

Which meds would they be pumping a multi year dementia patient with to get him to perform like he did the other night ?

Ask your doctor. But I accept your answer as a concession from you that you don’t know.

I’m asking you. Youre the one claiming that’s what happened… so back it up

You have just entered the "Hack Hall of Fame". What a ridiculous lie.

 

[BackAgain]

I’m asking you. Youre the one claiming that’s what happened… so back it up

Wrong. You suggested that nobody with dementia could have read that teleprompter like Potato did.

So you back it up.

 

[Slade3200]

I was responding to those who said they pumped him up with medicine. What medicine.

My statement was pretty obvious you can disagree if you want and play pretend that dementia patients have superpowers and secret medicines. That’s up to you

And you just ran away from supporting your claim.

Check mate.

Check mate.

Here… from Doctor A:

It would be highly unlikely for someone with advanced dementia to give an hour-long speech to a crowd. Dementia is a progressive condition that affects cognitive abilities, including memory, language, and reasoning. As the disease progresses, individuals may have difficulty organizing their thoughts, communicating effectively, and maintaining attention for extended periods of time.

In the later stages of dementia, individuals may struggle to remember information, follow a conversation, or even recognize familiar faces. It would be unrealistic to expect someone with advanced dementia to deliver a coherent and engaging speech to a crowd for an hour.

It is important to provide support and understanding to individuals with dementia, and to adjust expectations based on their abilities and limitations. Encouraging participation in activities that are meaningful and enjoyable, and providing opportunities for social engagement in a supportive environment, can help enhance their quality of life.

 

[Slade3200]

And you just ran away from supporting your claim.

Check mate.

I asked about medical studies to back up those claims….

Yes, there have been numerous studies and research conducted on the cognitive decline and functional impairments associated with dementia. These studies have shown that individuals with advanced dementia often experience significant difficulties in communication, memory, and executive functioning, which can impact their ability to engage in complex tasks such as giving a speech to a crowd.

One study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease found that individuals with moderate to severe dementia had impairments in language and communication skills, as well as deficits in attention and memory. These cognitive deficits can make it challenging for individuals with dementia to engage in complex verbal tasks, such as delivering a lengthy speech.

Another study published in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry found that individuals with dementia often struggle with executive functioning, which includes abilities such as planning, organizing, and reasoning. These executive deficits can make it difficult for individuals with dementia to structure and deliver a coherent speech to a crowd.

Overall, the research suggests that individuals with advanced dementia may have limitations in their cognitive abilities that make it unlikely for them to give an hour-long speech to a crowd. It is important to consider the individual's specific abilities and limitations when setting expectations for their participation in activities or tasks.

Doctor A? Sounds like he didn't want to risk whatever professional standing he has. May as well be from a USMB poster.
