Certainly, but the volume of irrelevent comparisons that come up is quite high.
Not to say explicitly that's explicitly what MRO was doing, but it stands that B
iden's mental state has no bearing on anything anymore and hasn't since January
20th of 2025, so bringing it up as if its relevant now is just silly to me.

Yep, and they were wrong to ignore it then. Thankfully eventually the powers tha
t be came to accept his declining state. That being said, age catching up to Bid
en is demonstrably different from the outright deranged nature of what Trump has
been doing, especially recently as the disease is clearly entering its final st
ages.

Again, to stress, it's not that people bring it up -- it's that it's presumed to
be a point countering Trumps mental state to Bidens as if it *is* relevant to w
hat is actively going on. It's as if people don't get that the problem isn't Tru
mp clearly having dementia, but that he is the active president showing the seve
re traits he is and the administration itself is just pretending it's not an iss
ue... much like they do with everything. I refer back to the fact that, eventual
ly, people did act on Biden's decline which, if one wishes to compare things, is
nothing to what is going on with Trump.

True enough.
