@shipwreckedcrew
Electing to not take any form of cognitive exam should be construed the same way a jury is told it can construe a failure to testify in a civil case — you can assume the refusal is because Biden believes the result will not be a positive for his re-election campaign.

Headline: White House Refuses to Make Biden Take Cognitive Test in Upcoming Physical
This is a dumb thing to pursue. Even if the GOP could somehow force Biden to get a cognitive test, it would be a Dem doctor who was bought and paid for, and he would get a clean score, and we would be told he is mentally fit for office.
The best thing to do for defeating Biden is take his disastrous record to the voters and show how the GOP can solve these problems.
Let his gaffes and mental unfitness speak for themselves.

Zzzzzzzzz In a civil case, it would be grounds for a mistrial if a Judge instructed the Jury in that way. An attorney would likely just state in the closing argument, “My client told you what happened. I ask you to listen to the only person who testified about what occurred. Thank you.”
Now, if a party “lost,” failed to disclose or destroyed evidence, you can ask for an adverse inference.

Biden could be slumped over in a wheelchair, drooling on himself, unable to answer any questions, eyes glazed over, and only capable of now and then making some wheezing sounds, and he would still get 40% of the vote nationally. His physical condition does not matter to the hardcore Democrat. The independent voter can see he is mentally incompetent and this voter is trying to decide if Biden should get the vote, mental competency notwithstanding, or is it better to go with Trump.
Give that indy voter a REASON to vote for Trump, and then Biden’s incompetency will be the frosting on the cake.

This clown thinks that its too late to replace Biden. This guy has no clue about the Democratic Party lust for power. The key sentence that clues the reader as to the cluelessness of this writer is when he says, “[Biden’s] a personally decent man with no major scandal in his White House.” No major scandal? His entire “presidency” is a scandal. He has been a disaster over and over. You know the list of offenses.
He goes on to say, “There are two ways in which President Biden does not seek reelection: He changes his mind about running or suffers a health crisis.”
Biden doesn’t have a mind to change. He is already a health crisis. He is being told what to do and what to read off his teleprompter, and he cannot even do that well without all sorts of gaffes and mistakes. If the polling leading up to the Dem convention shows that Biden is badly trailing Trump (spoiler alert: it will), then Biden will be pushed aside for a new stooge.
I have lived a long time and never once saw the Democratic Party throw away a shot at a POTUS race. They won’t make this a first in 2024. So sure, Biden will “change his mind” and this Politico writer will claim to be right, that Biden did one of the two things, but its not Biden changing his mind at the convention, its whoever put that on his teleprompter for Biden to attempt to read.

Democrats know how to poll POTUS races. They have internal polling that is true and excellent as to accuracy. If they get close to the convention and see that this polling tells them they are going to get slaughtered in November with Biden, they have one of two options:
OPTION 1: Say to themselves, “Aw shucks! We don’t have any chance in this election and we will just have to try harder next time.”
OR
OPTION 2: They will pull Biden into a room with Obama and others, where they will tell him, “You are out. You can’t do this…and we are not going to stand idly by and watch the presidency go to Trump. The gap is too big for us to rig it like last time, even with ballot harvesting and ballot printing, and unattended drop boxes.” And so Biden will be led by the hand to the podium where he will more or less read his resignation from the teleprompter. Then his delegates go to whoever they have prepped to replace him.
You all know which way they will choose.

I have largely stayed out of the Russia/Ukraine debate that rages here on HHR. Here are my general thoughts as of today.
I grew up in the cold war. The USSR was the enemy. I grew up up being told that I could at any moment be roasted to death if some guy in Russia pressed a button. Moscow, the Kremlin, the communists, they were the enemy. I rejoiced in 1980 when the USA hockey college students defeated the Soviet professionals. I then watched this evil empire, as Reagan called it, collapse under its own weight. The breakup of the USSR was wonderful to behold. So I will never be easily persuaded that somehow they are no longer an enemy, no longer a threat to the world. Putin is a communist’s communist.
I agree that Putin is 100% responsible for this war HE started. Any and all talking points that say, “he had to do this” are false. There are 1000s of alternatives to solving border and international problems than simply announcing a special military operation and invading another country.
Having said this, I am under no delusion that just because Putin is evil that Ukraine’s leadership is by contrast clean and pure, and without any corruption. But the reality of mismanagement and corruption on the part of Ukraine is nothing that can be compared to the slaughter unleashed by Putin.
Of the two outcome options, it is in the best interest of the world for Ukraine to remain independent of Russia. Putin’s annexing of Ukraine is tantamount to rebuilding the old USSR. Anyone with the ability to understand history in this part of the world must know this. I cannot comprehend how any American could be rooting for Putin to achieve this aim, and then restart the cold war.
I wish that European nations could shoulder more of the aid that Ukraine needs. I can understand the reluctance of nations to provide aid, given the chance that Ukrainian corruption in government might misappropriate that aid. But the alternative seems to be a greater risk.
The USA has provided an incredible amount of aid to help the Ukrainian cause. I am torn on further aid, simply because we are broke. We can easily lose much if the aid stops and the USSR is re-established. We can also lose much if our economic situation collapses altogether, as it is on the verge of doing. Simply put, I am not sure we can give any more. Right now, its the mathematics of defeat–a terrible proposition. USSR or pushing our debt to the breaking point. I wish there were other alternatives. But at this point, I think we have to stop giving because we simply don’t have it, and then take our chances that the USSR will become a reality again, and we can raise our grandchildren telling them that they can be killed instantly if some guy in Moscow presses a button.

“As my colleague Tristan Justice noted yesterday, McConnell and Tillis and other Ukraine hawks in the GOP don’t care what actual Republican voters think about any of this. An NBC News poll in November found just 35 percent of Republican voters support more funding for Ukraine, and a Gallup poll out around the same time found much the same. No matter. Those are just the unwashed, unbriefed hoi polloi. McConnell and Tillis would very much like them to shut up and go away, thanks.
So would Sen. Mitt Romney, who took to the Senate floor Monday night to declare that “the shock jocks and online instigators have riled up many in the far reaches of my party.” Have they? Or are they just reflecting the obvious majority viewpoint of your party, as reflected in actual polls? Romney went on to conflate Ukraine with all of Europe, asserting, “If we fail to help Ukraine, Putin will invade a NATO nation.” This is a favorite tactic of Ukraine war hawks who don’t really want to make an argument for why another round of U.S. funding will change the fundamentals of the conflict or break the stalemate. They just declare, despite ample evidence to the contrary, that stopping the endless flow of cash into Ukraine guarantees Moscow will march on Poland.”
