“Questioning Mr. Kennedy’s health is a hilarious suggestion, given his competition.”

Pretty sure questioning his health is vitally important, especially given his competition:

  • Hole in brain from either a tumor a parasite (sounds like they’re not sure)
  • history of long- and short-term memory problems
  • neurological disorder affecting his speech
  • unwillingness to disclose medical records
  • an “irregular heartbeat caused by a common heart abnormality that can cause strokes”…

How is he any better than the other two?

It's kind of crazy that the one out of the three that is most cognitively sound is the oldest and is nicknamed dementia Joe.

is nicknamed dementia Joe

You say that as if normal people call him that. Like The King instead of Elvis.

I'd be willing to bet it's something that Donald Trump or the like made up. And he's got plenty of names of his own...is it Diaper Donnie now?

You're not wrong. But I've found that those obnoxious people do leave an impression on others. A lot people think of Biden that way even if they're not calling him that.

Hate and stupidity are a vicious cycle.

Well, he's got some mental issues, but at least he's not unqualified under the 14th amendment for supporting an insurrection.
