Is Joe Biden Senile or Just Dumb?

Sometimes it is difficult to know whether or not Joe Biden is senile or just dumb. I know it’s tempting to ascribe everything he does to his dementia, but he’s been stupid for his whole life. Even people suffering from dementia have moments of lucidity, so it’s really impossible to know what is the true motivation behind the President’s asininity. The effects and the facts of it, however, are easy and important to dissect, because whether it’s due to him losing his grip on reality, that he’s just a very simple and dumb man, or a combination of both doesn’t really matter, what matters is the end result.

There are, of course, countless examples of Joe Biden saying or doing things that are untethered to reality. He regularly lies about his own life – in his first presidential run in 1987, he snapped at a questioner who dared to ask about his grade, famously going off on a rant about his own brilliance and accomplishments, all of which were lies (you’d think he’d know his own life’s story) – and this was before his senility, he was in his 40s at the time.

A few months after making a complete fool of himself there, Biden suffered two brain aneurysms, doing untold damage to something already not functioning properly. Joe Biden has never been playing with a full deck, now he doesn’t even seem to be playing with cards.
