Sure we did. Ronald Reagan. That guy was clearly demented in his second term. Even his son has said so.

Biden was incapable of functioning and was feed drugs to keep him going. I am surprised Biden is still alive.
Biden will be dead within a year.
Never had we seen a president incapable of functioning before

Again, Reagan was senile in his second term.
The government can work with a senile president with competent people around him.
It can't work with an insane one surrounded by sycophants, as we are about to find out.

Ronald Reagan had Alzheimer's while president, says son
Son Ron Reagan's claim that Ronald Reagan had Alzheimer's while in office leads to war of words with half brother Michael
www.theguardian.com
Ronald Reagan's sons have locked horns over the former president's political legacy after the younger brother, Ron, said his late father's battle with Alzheimer's began while he was in the White House.
The spat opens up a subject that has long been a talking point – when did the 40th president begin to become mentally impaired by the disease. He was formally diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 1994, five years after he left office. Reagan died 10 years later at 93.
In it, Ron Reagan describes his growing sense of alarm over his father's mental condition, beginning as early as three years into his first term. He recalls the presidential debate with Walter Mondale on 7 October 1984.
"My heart sank as he floundered his way through his responses, fumbling with his notes, uncharacteristically lost for words. He looked tired and bewildered," Ron Reagan writes.
Their father's mannerisms while in office – including stumbling over his words, his occasional falling asleep in public, his weak memory – led to much speculation about how early on dementia had set in. The New York Times medical writer Larry Altman even raised the question with Reagan during an interview in 1980 just before he entered the White House. Reagan said he would quit if he developed Alzheimer's while in office.

RR was a dementiac.
Nothing new.
It was handled competently and professionally.

Did you miss his debate with Mondale, the guy couldn't tell where he was.
I mostly agree, but here's the thing. Reagan, Biden and Trump are all way too old to be doing this job. The 25th Amendment was supposed to be a guard rail against this sort of thing, but because of partisan loyalty, it never gets invoked.

And now all these white folks are getting fired by Trump and President Elon.This information needs to be spread far and wide. DEI really does equal DIE. Supporters of DEI don't care about human lives. They are perfectly OK with people dying in order to enact their ridiculous ideology.

Liberals keep insisting that Obama never lowered the standards for air-traffic controllers.
But the proof keeps coming out more and more and more.
I don’t expect the liberals to admit that they were wrong.
But I do like to keep documenting this, and showing it to as many people as possible.
The Telegraph just reported:
https://archive.ph/5iuqQ
An aspiring air traffic controller who claimed he was denied a job because of diversity targets said the aviation agency’s obsession with inclusion made an accident likely to happen.
Andrew Brigida, 35, scored 100 per cent in his training exam but alleged that he was denied a position in an air traffic control tower because the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recruitment process favoured diverse candidates. He is part of a class action lawsuit filed against the federal agency.
Speaking after the Washington air disaster, in which 67 people were killed, Mr Brigida claimed that years of diversity hiring meant it was only a matter of time before an accident happened.
“You want to hire the best and the brightest for this kind of job because it is a very stressful job and it can take a toll on you, age you prematurely,” he told The Telegraph. “You want to make sure that the people that are doing it are the best.”
Mr Brigida graduated from Arizona State University’s collegiate training initiative in 2013 – a partnership programme with the FAA that was previously used to train and select the most qualified applicants.
After scoring top marks in his air traffic control selection and training examination, he was placed on a preferred candidate list until the FAA changed the rules.
Under the Obama administration, the regulator replaced a skills-based test with a biographical questionnaire to attract more diverse applicants.
When Mr Brigida tried again to become an air traffic controller under the new tests, he said he failed the biographical questionnaire because he “didn’t fit the preferred ethnic profile”.

Okay, keep telling yourself that.
Hopefully, we won't have another plague or recession for him to screw up, but he probably will.

Trump is fine, this time he won't be listening to Fauci.
Recession, thank you democrats for making it so only the rich and the poor can afford eggs. The poor because their eggs are free, ebt/welfare.

Trump will still be incompetent.
And no one like Fauci who knows what he's doing.
Could you imagine if he has to go to RatFucK Jr. and get advice on a plague?

Trump and RFK Jr are perfect for the job. If you believe lifelong lawyer politicians are better, you are very much mistaken.
Kamala and whoever she would of picked, would be no better, and as we can see Kamala's record as a politician is very poor.

What are you smoking?
What is RFK's qualifications, exactly? He's never worked in the health field, and he's got a lot of crank ideas like Vaccine cause Autism and Covid was genetically engineered to not effect Jews.
This is not something you want in a science-based position.

I see you avoided my question.
What are RFK's qualifications to run health care in this country.
Seems like a pretty simple question, you can list his credentials and accomplishments other than, "Guy pimping off his famous father's name".
