    known speech impediment

    He had a childhood speech impediment. Overcoming those requires a concentrated effort, which we become less able to handle as we age.

    Here’s Biden in 2008

    Here he is in 1987

    In a way what’s happening now is a speech impediment, but it’s re-emerging as he loses ability in the same parts of the brain that handle critical thinking due to the normal effects of aging.

    I’m just tired of so many people writing this stuff off. Like, it took 2 minutes to find those videos and show he hasn’t always been like this. He just couldn’t win until the only other option was trump. Even tho he was a much better candidate back then.

    Quick edit:

    Ironically something like the Havana weapon would actually cause this shit, it’s incredibly unlikely someone used it on Biden for the debate…

    But it’s fucking 2024 y’all, who knows what’s real anymore I guess.
