Reagan had full blown Dementia

Tapper saying thia was as bad as Watergate is ridiculous. The next time any conservatives mentions Biden respond by saying
Let's put this into context. Wilson was incapacitated his last two years, Roosevelt was extremey ill the last 18 months and Reagan had full blown dementia. Why don't you bring those past presidents up.?

Also, Woodrow Wilson didn't have his stroke until after WWI was over. It's also not really true that Wilson was a total vegetable afterward. In fact Edith wanted him to compromise with Republicans in the Senate to get the Treaty of Versailles ratified, but he wouldn't do it. If she was totally running things, the treaty likely would've been.

None of what you posted really contradicts what I did. Where in any of that does Edith come to play?

Biden did a great job as President and he did it while obeying our laws. protecting our people, building our economy, strengthening our alliances (both military and economic), and defending our Constitution.

If you want to expose a Presidential scandal, there is a giant elephant in the room that you may want to take a look at.

for either jaw or mouth cancer (I can't recall which). Kennedy took serious medicine for addison's disease. Nixon drank virtually non stop at the end of Watergate. Trump nearly died of Covid.
