OMG classic crazy.
Biden pushes back on cognitive test question: ‘Why the hell would I take a test?’
By: Brittany Shepherd, Yahoo News•August 5, 2020
WASHINGTON — Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden shrugged off a question Tuesday about taking a cognitive assessment test, which President Trump has challenged him to do — while misrepresenting what the test measures.
In an exchange with CBS’s Errol Barnett during a wide-ranging, multi-moderator interview at a conference of Black and Latino journalists, Biden balked at Barnett’s question about whether Biden had even taken an exam.
“No, I haven’t taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test?” responded Biden, who then posed a rhetorical analogy.
“C’mon man,” he chided Barnett. “That’s like saying, ‘You — before you got on this program you took a test where you’re taking cocaine or not, what do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie?’”
BIDEN: "No, I haven't taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test? C'mon man. That's like saying you, before you got in this program, if you take a test where you're taking cocaine or not, what do you think huh? Are you a junkie?" pic.twitter.com/f6UMPJq381

Barnett followed up by asking Biden what he would say to Trump, “who brags about his test and makes your mental state an issue for voters?”
“Well, if he can’t figure out the difference between an elephant and a lion, I don’t know what the hell he’s talking about,” said Biden with a laugh. “Look, c’mon man, I know you’re trying to goad me, but I’m so … looking [forward] to have an opportunity to sit or stand with the president on the debates.”
Trump has repeatedly boasted about his mental acuity after taking the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, which is commonly used to screen for dementia. In a recent interview with Fox News journalist Chris Wallace, Trump said he received perfect marks and said that Biden “could not answer those questions.”
“Let’s take a test right now. Let’s go down, Joe, and I will take a test. Let him take the same test that I took,” the president said.
The test does not measure intelligence and is not meant to be difficult for most people. The questions can include a simple memory test and drawing the hands on a clock. During the interview, Wallace said he took the test himself after he saw Trump tout it.
“Well, it’s not the hardest test,” the Fox host told Trump. “They have a picture and it says, ‘What’s that?’ And it’s an elephant.”

A conference of black and latino journalists? That’s exclusionary.

Oooo…kay then?
Imagine if Trump accused a journalist of being a “junkie”, the “liberals” would be talking about it for months and Netflikzzzzzzzz would probably make at least 3 series out of it.
Senile Joe represents the absolute worst humanity has to offer.
– Spent 40+ years as a senator doing nothing.
– Sniffs children a lot
– Sexually assaulted a woman working for him
– Lashes out at people when they point out his dementia
– All around talentless moron.
I never EVER thought things would get so lame, that we’d see this miserable grey little clown actually running for Prez.

Didn’t Biden state a while ago that he is “tested all the time”? So what difference would it be if he was tested again? OK, this time he might be coached, but still, what is he and his handlers afraid of.

The dhimmicrat party has the chutzpah to run a candidate that has mental cognitive problems and tells the party faithful as well as the general public, that this person has what it takes to be a on the job President is bad, but what is worse is the dhimmicrat voters going along with this charade.

“I’m so … looking [forward] to”—he actually said I’m so “forward looking” along w/ mangling the word “fitness.” Inappropriate outbursts, problems with impulse control (disinhibition), disorientation, memory problems, confused sentences, paraphasic errors with word substitutions, nonsense words and word searching all on a frequent basis could be c/w dementia (Vascular and/or Alzheimer’s). His obvious language disorder (aphasia/paraphasia/dysphasia) could be a “decompensation” from previous neurological injury he may have had when he had a burst aneurysm requiring emergency brain surgery to clip the bleeding aneurysm in 1988. He had another brain surgery a few months after that to clip an unruptured aneurysm preventively. He took about 7 months to recover and can’t find any report of what neuro deficits he may have had that he had to recover from or what kinds of therapy… PT, OT or Speech? In addition he has atrial fib with risk of strokes, including “silent” strokes that may be the cause of his increased emergence of language difficulties. He is on a blood thinner, Eliquis with its risk of bleeding. That “red eye” he had a while back during a debate was likely a subconjunctival hemorrhage, a minor complication of his anticoagulant therapy.
Observation of his language deficits along w/ his known neuro/medical history is sufficient to state that he is not medically/neurologically fit to hold the office of POTUS.
I’m a retired Neurologist who also served in Navy Medical Corps and determined fitness for duty of members of the military. Biden most likely has had the appropriate neurological exams/testing…but none of it has been disclosed nor is it likely to be disclosed, namely Cognitive and Language assessment and Brain imaging. Even if he had the screening MoCA test that Trump took, his handlers would likely lie about Joe’s test results. That’s assuming Joe would take the test seriously since impaired individuals are usually resistant and combative when asked simple questions because they consider it insulting as exemplified in the interview above.
Biden isn’t ready for “prime time” but his wife and his handlers think they he is ready to be the Leader of our Country and of the Free World. This is surreal and very scary. Even if they replaced Biden after he became POTUS with the VP per 25th Amendment, who would have been hand-picked for him, that would be ideologically just as scary and America would be destroyed.

Once again I have to say a big Thank You to Pamela Geller for providing such a good laugh for me first thing in the morning. Biden’s take on a cognitive test question and the threat of Pelosi as POTUS is too hilarious; all my immune system needs.

Did he recently respond in the affirmative that he has and continues to be tested for his cognitive “DECLINE”. Memory loss is part of that I think. Demowits are you really sure about this guy sitting in the Oval Office.
