So to summarise...
  • Trump is going to win Alaska and N. Carolina.
  • Trump might just squeak it in Arizona (needs to win 57% of remaining votes, is averaging 57% of votes).
  • Georgia is going to a recount, which will take weeks.
  • Biden should win Nevada, when they can be bothered to do a bit of counting.
  • None of the above matters, because Biden definitely is going to win Pennsylvania - hence the media piling in to project Biden for the Presidency.

The only mentions online are from about a year ago when people were questioning his cognitive ability.

It says he revealed he had a speech disorder that he’s been battling all his life. Surely it would be common knowledge that someone who’s been in public life for decades had such a speech disorder.

It’s clearly a ruse to try and deflect from his cognitive decline.
Here he is talking about it in 1994.

Here it's referred to in an article in 1987.

He doesn't like to talk about it, for obvious reasons. People associate stuttering with being a bit dim, as he said in the video. It's a painful part of his life. He explained in your video that he doesn't consider himself a stutterer, even though other people do, because obviously that would diminish the sense of achievement he would feel from overcoming it. But it's still a part of him. If you listen to him explain the tactics he uses to deal with that stutter, it requires a lot more mental agility than is required of you or I in a typical conversation. If a certain word is stuck, think of a new one, and do it all before anyone even noticed you weren't able to say the word you were originally aiming for.

So yes he is getting old and yes he will have more moments of weakness as time goes on. That isn't a good way to diagnose dimensia. I really wonder whether anyone that diagnoses him with alzheimers or dimensia has ever experienced someone go through that decline. If so, I'm pretty sure the people closest to them would find it disgusting how carelessly the diagnosis is thrown around, as if it's akin to saying someone is a bit overweight. It's not something you can diagnose on a TV screen. Ask the actual experts.

Van Jones in tears. Huge day for minorities all over the country that Trump has been unequivocally rejected by the people.

Is the margin of victory quite big? How many colleges did Obama get?
If Biden keeps all the states he's leading in right now, he'll have 306-232 - the exact same margin that Trump won with four years ago and that he called a landslide :lol:
