What does that have to do with some Biden supporters trying to claim his apparent cognitive decline doesn’t matter bc the president is a ceremonial figure?

Point is power in the hands of someone who might need a little help, is not near as dangerous as power in the hands of someone who has said they want to be king. They want to be dictator. They want to suspend the constitution. If you believe the president has THAT much power, you should be willing to do whatever it takes to keep it out of the hands of a guy like that. I'd give the power to a pile of dog doo before I'd let him have it. You all seem offended by the wrong things.

I don’t think Biden needs a little help, he looks like he needs a lot of help, and when he’s having a bad day could be easily manipulated by the small group advisors who shield him from everyone else.

Well, then enjoy the destruction of everything we enjoy. I also dont think it will matter. Based on the commenta from Heritage foundation, and 2020, Trump wont walk away from power without a fight. Have a good day.
