Ideas about “Sundowning” from PWD Karen Francis,
Andrea Widburg "By now, it’s the worst kept secret in the world that Joe Biden is having cognitive difficulties. He’s tethered to a teleprompter, fed only pre-approved questions, and speaks in short increments to friendly audiences. Rumors are floating about that his dementia is quite advanced. Rush Limbaugh came up with a theory that suggests that those rumors are correct.
"On Sunday, Thomas Lifson reprinted a post that’s been circulating on the internet. It purports to come from a former Biden staffer who quit the campaign and cannot keep quiet about Biden’s mental incompetence. Briefly, it says that Biden has advanced dementia and that the medicine he takes for it causes incontinence. Although the post accurately describes Biden’s behavior and his brief appearances, an anonymous author means it has dubious utility.
"Rush Limbaugh, however, has noticed another piece in the puzzle, and this one yields to empirical evidence rather than first-hand knowledge. This is the fact that, other than the long-ago Democrat debates and his acceptance speech (which may have been live, rather than prerecorded), Biden is never seen at night. In that regard, he is the “un-vampire.”
"Indeed, most of Biden’s appearances are early in the day. He may do this because he tires easily and, by afternoon, is running on empty. Rush, though, posits that Biden may be suffering from sundowning, something strongly associated with dementia in the elderly, especially with Alzheimer’s. Sundowning is so named because it consistently appears as the sun is setting." . . .

. . . And it certainly has taken awhile. Biden has also notably forgotten the name of the president he served under; forgotten he was running for president; called a male voter “fat” in Iowa; called a female voter “dog-faced” in New Hampshire; violently snapped at a reporter while shouting the word “why” over and over; confused his wife for his sister at a campaign rally; and created from whole-cloth a fake story about being arrested for protesting Apartheid in South Africa." . . .
Aug 15: The Real Problem with Joe's Dementia . . . "With today’s technology, deep fake videos, and a COVID-inspired virtual presidency, perhaps the DNC is confident they can pull a fast one on the American people, run a shadow government with Joe as the face of the presidency, and cover up his infirmity and ineptitude with the aid of the press -- think Woodrow Wilson and FDR. Maybe they just hope to defeat Trump by any means necessary and plan to invoke the 25th Amendment elevating Kamala Harris to the presidency -- someone who couldn’t convince more than 2% of the primary voters to consider her for the nomination. Or, they could be running Biden-Harris knowing they’re unwinnable, but fully intending to contest the election, accuse Trump of stealing it, calling (again) for his impeachment/removal, and causing just enough bedlam to destroy his second term." . . .
Biden's behavior in his 2012 VP debate with Paul Ryan raised some questions . . . "Fox News Channel's Chris Wallace, meanwhile, had harsh criticism of Biden.
"I think I have watched almost every presidential and vice presidential debate since the first four Kennedy-Nixon debates in 1960, and thinking back over the last few minutes, I don't think I've ever seen one where one participant was so openly disrespectful to another as Biden was tonight," he said. "The smirks, the headshakes, the mugging -- he was openly contemptuous and disrespectful. It wasn't just the facial gestures; it was the words. He dismissed Ryan's arguments as 'malarkey,' 'a bunch of stuff,' 'I don't know what those guys are talking about' and 'bluster.' It was an unprecedented performance.' "
