[[File:Biden fall.jpg|right|300px|thumb|With advanced age Biden has become increasingly unbalanced.]]
Biden has had two brain surgeries, and his speech is occasionally slurred in pronouncing common words. In addition to his socialist views Biden has had a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which likewise is known to cause permanent brain damage.<ref>https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/subarachnoid-hemorrhage/symptoms-causes/syc-20361009</ref> During a CNN town hall on 17 February 2021 Biden claimed that he didn't have the COVID Vaccine when he took office.<ref>[https://www.nationalreview.com/news/biden-claims-we-didnt-have-a-covid-vaccine-when-he-took-office/ Biden Claims ‘We Didn’t Have’ a COVID Vaccine When He Took Office]</ref> He didn't remember that he himself took the vaccine on 21 December 2020, one month before occupying the office.<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-receives-covid-19-vaccination Biden receives COVID-19 vaccination]</ref>
After his occupying the White House, he forgot the name of his Secretary of Defense [[Lloyd Austin]],<ref>[https://nypost.com/2021/03/08/biden-seems-to-forget-defense-secretarys-name/ Biden seems to forget the defense secretary’s name, calls him ‘the guy who runs that outfit’]</ref> calling Kamala Harris president,<ref>[https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/joe-bidens-president-harris-gaffe-comes-after-third-of-voters-doubt-mental-fitness/ar-BB1eKyUj Joe Biden's 'President Harris' Gaffe Comes after Third of Voters Doubt Mental Fitness]</ref> forgetting what he is doing in Texas.<ref>[https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/ignored-by-media-joe-biden-is-completely-lost-in-texas-even-with-handler-nearby/282813 Ignored by Media: Joe Biden Is Completely LOST in Texas Even with Handler Nearby]</ref> talk that he is coming to Senate 120 years ago.<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-press-conference-senate-120-years-filibuster Biden raises eyebrows with a quip he came to Senate 120 years ago]</ref> Biden made history as the first Oval Office occupant in over 100 years to not hold a press conference in his first 65 days in office. When twice asked by reporters if he was ready the day before the big event, Biden responded, "What press conference?"<ref>https://www.westernjournal.com/reporters-ask-biden-3-times-biggest-press-conference-life-responds-press-conference/</ref> One purpose of presidential press conferences is so the public can see and judge for themselves a president's mental acuity. When the press conference finally was held, it was a disaster for Biden as he stumbled and mumbled his way through, ready prepared notes to answer serious policy questions and losing this train of thought.
Six weeks after the seizure of power, a [[Rasmussen Poll]] of likely voters showed 50% said they were not confident that “Joe Biden is physically and mentally up to the job of being president of the United States.”<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/day-49-half-the-nation-worried-biden-not-physically-and-mentally-up-to-the-job</ref> Shortly thereafter Biden fell three times attempting to board [[Air Force One]].<ref>https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/joe-biden-fall-air-force-one-b1819731.html</ref> White House internal propagandists tried to explain away the incident as the wind blowing Biden over.<ref>https://therightscoop.com/breaking-white-house-explains-why-biden-stumbled-and-fell-on-stairs-today-and-its-not-even-a-good-excuse/</ref> Not one day earlier Biden referred to Kamala Harris, "President Harris."<ref>https://nypost.com/2021/03/18/biden-calls-kamala-president-harris-during-speech/</ref> Former White House physician for Presidents [[George W. Bush]], Barack Obama and Donald Trump, Dr. Ronnie Jackson tweeted, "I served as White House physician under THREE Presidents. I’ve seen what it takes physically AND mentally to do the job. I can tell you right now that the way Biden is hiding from the public is a MAJOR red flag. Something’s not right."<ref>https://twitter.com/RonnyJacksonTX/status/1373695627067002882</ref>
Biden's public performance at the G-7 summit at Cornwall, England in June 2021 with the entire planet looking on was universally panned as demented.<ref>https://www.news.com.au/world/concerns-for-joe-bidens-mental-capacity-raised-amid-gaffes-at-g7/video/f222051fe4ca908cf153540bfad79676</ref> Even other heads of government could only laugh in front of the cameras as Biden wandered off aimlessly or forgot what he had been told 30 seconds earlier.<ref>https://www.theblaze.com/news/biden-gaffes-g7-summit-video</ref> His closing press conference in front of the fawning [[liberal media]] devolved into rambling gibberish.<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-g7-us-russia-help-people-libya-syria</ref>
While preparing for a video conference with the nation's governors on wildfires, Biden was informed by aides of having a booger on his chin, and proceeded to eat it on camera.<ref>https://rumble.com/vkjihr-joe-biden-told-hes-got-something-on-his-chin-and-he-eats-it.html?mref=6zof&mrefc=2</ref> Reports say Biden's erratic conduct has caused staffers to nickname him, the ''Nightmare on Elm Street''.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/07/report-biden-staffers-referring-biden-nightmare-elm-street/</ref>
===Fall of Kabul===
On August 20, 2021 Biden claimed the U.S. went to Afghanistan to destroy al Qaeda, and had done so. Less than an hour later, a Pentagon spokesman contradicted him and said al Qaeda still existed in Afghanistan.<ref>https://nypost.com/2021/08/20/biden-stumbles-with-afghan-questions-says-americans-can-reach-kabul/</ref> His assurance that the Taliban promised people with U.S. passports were being cleared through Taliban checkpoints was immediately contradicted by the State Department. Biden said, ""I have seen no question of our credibility from our allies around the world. I've spoken with our NATO allies, we've spoken with NATO allies. ... The fact of the matter is, I have not seen that. As a matter of fact, the exact opposite I've got." In the real world, the European Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs held a virtual session and Josep Borrell, high representative of the EU for foreign affairs and security policy and vice president of the European Commission, branded the situation in Afghanistan "a catastrophe." Former IK prime minister [[Theresa May]] said "What does it say about NATO if we are entirely dependent on a unilateral decision taken by the United States? ... Did we feel we just had to follow the United States and hope that on a wing and a prayer it'd be all right on the night?" Armin Laschet, the top candidate to succeed outgoing German Chancellor [[Angela Merkel]], said, "This is the greatest debacle that NATO has seen since its foundation, and it is an epochal change that we are facing."<ref>https://ca.news.yahoo.com/fact-checking-president-bidens-claims-230100372.html</ref> And the UK Parliament held Biden in [[contempt]].
===25th Amendment===
:{{See also|25th Amendment|Legal capacity}}
Four weeks into the junta, ''[[Politico]]'' reported that nearly three dozen House Democrats called on Biden to relinquish his sole authority to launch [[nuclear weapon]].
{{quotebox-float|“...Vesting one person with this authority entails real risks...Past presidents have threatened to attack other countries with nuclear weapons or exhibited behavior that caused other officials to express concern about the president’s judgment...While any president would presumably consult with advisors before ordering a nuclear attack, there is no requirement to do so...The military is obligated to carry out the order if they assess it is legal under the laws of war. Under the current posture of U.S. nuclear forces, that attack would happen in minutes.”<ref>https://www.politico.com/newsletters/morning-defense/2021/02/23/tester-outlines-defense-budget-strategy-793538?cid=su_tw_md</ref>}} The effort was spearheaded by Democrat Reps. [[Jimmy Panetta]] and [[Ted Lieu]] after both international and national media questioned Biden's mental capacity and the threat it posed to national security.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/02/believe-joe-bidens-mental-state-clear-national-security-threat-newsmax-host-grant-stinchfield-joe-bidens-dementia-video/</ref><ref>https://www.skynews.com.au/details/_6233603126001</ref> In late 2020, [[Speaker Nancy Pelosi]] introduced a bill creating a [[25th Amendment]] Commission. The 25th Amendment reads in part, "Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments '''''or of such other body as Congress may by law provide..."'''''. Biden insiders began dumping on Kamala Harris in fear she would invoke the 25th Amendment as Biden's dementia became more obvious. When a Trafalgar poll revealed 58% of Americans had no confidence that Kamala Harris could assume the duties of president, a series of [[leak]]s trashing Harris emanated from the White House.<ref>https://www.dickmorris.com/harris-poll-numbers-crashing-lunch-alert/</ref> In the wake of her disastrous photo-op in Guatemala, Mexico, and El Paso, staffers began to quit, citing that Kamala is impossible to work with.<ref>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/rebeccadowns/2021/06/26/top-travel-aides-for-kamala-harris-are-quitting-and-it-could-hardly-come-at-a-worse-time-n2591632</ref> ''[[Politico]]'' reported that Kamala's office is ''"Not a healthy environment’: rife with dissent. There is dysfunction inside the VP’s office, aides and administration officials say. And it’s emanating from the top."''<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2021/06/30/kamala-harris-office-dissent-497290</ref>
[[File:Biden eats a booger.PNG|right|350px|thumb|Biden blew his nose and snot clung to his chin. When informed by staff 8 minutes later, Biden ate the booger off his chin.<ref>https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-handed-embarrassing-note-during-meeting-gets-mocked-for-what-he-does-next</ref>]]
{{quotebox-float|"Harris’ team is experiencing low morale, porous lines of communication and diminished trust among aides and senior officials....22 current and former vice presidential aides, administration officials and associates of Harris and Biden described a tense and at times dour office atmosphere. Aides ....created an insular environment where ideas are ignored or met with harsh dismissals and decisions are dragged out. Often, they said, she refuses to take responsibility for delicate issues and blames staffers for the negative results that ensue.... “It all starts at the top,” said one of the administration officials, who like others requested anonymity to be able to speak candidly about a sensitive matter.
“People are thrown under the bus from the very top, there are short fuses and it’s an abusive environment,” said another person with direct knowledge of how Harris’ office is run. “It’s not a healthy environment and people often feel mistreated. It’s not a place where people feel supported but a place where people feel treated like s---.”
The dysfunction in the VP’s ranks threatens to complicate the White House’s carefully crafted image as a place staffed by a close-knit group of professionals working in concert to advance the president’s agenda. It’s pronounced enough that members of the president’s own team have taken notice and are concerned about the way Harris’ staffers are treated....for some of the people who know Harris best, it’s become an all-too-familiar pattern for a politician who has churned through several iterations of staff on her rise and took office with a team almost entirely new to her.
Just six months in, some of those aides in the Office of the Vice President said they are eyeing other employment opportunities. Others have left already. ...The morale level for current Harris staffers is “rough” and in many ways similar to the failed presidential campaign and her Senate office, according to the former Senate aide."}}
Aides describe Harris as unpredictable and at times demeaning to her staff. She often hung up on her aides, berated them when she didn’t think they were prepared enough for briefings, and had a reputation for churning through interns and lower-level staff.<ref>https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook-pm/2021/07/14/progressive-brawl-over-antitrust-measures-gets-personal-493575</ref> Some of her former staffers claimed to be suffering from a form of post-traumatic stress after Harris started her ascension to the White House. According to the ''Washington Free Beacon'', “they sought therapy to ‘resolve trauma from the on-the-job abuse’ after Harris was selected as Biden’s running mate in 2020.”<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/kamala-harris-staffer-trauma/amp/</ref> After an ''Axios'' hit piece on Kamala,<ref>https://www.axios.com/kamala-harris-office-dysfunction-2024-e2f9a9c0-f391-4c1d-8042-aa4f24a292e3.html</ref> the ''[[New York Post]]'' reported the knives were out for Kamala in the racist and [[misogynist]] Biden White House.<ref>https://nypost.com/2021/07/03/democrats-fear-harris-cant-beat-any-goper-in-2024-including-trump/</ref>
