| There's a reason why Rush is wondering if Biden is ever seen at night |
| 2020-09-17 |
| [American Thinker] By now, it's the worst kept secret in the world that Joe Biden is having cognitive difficulties. He's tethered to a teleprompter, is 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 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 that it has dubious utility. Rush Limbaugh, however, has noticed another piece in the puzzle, and this one yields to empirical evidence rather than firsthand 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. I've seen this firsthand with both my parents, neither of whom had Alzheimer's but both of whom sundowned badly as they developed age-related dementia. What I learned was that, for the people sundowning, the illusions are real. These are not nightmares from which they can awaken. You cannot "snap" them out of it. They cannot be perked up and trotted out with a little medicine. While sufferers are sundowning, they're gone. |

| #11 As I understand it, incontinence and UTI goes with dementia as the mind 'forgets' or cannot control the body as well. Later, choking becomes an issue as the person 'forgets' how to eat, then to even eat and drink at all. There are medications even for us peasants which help, until they don't, then things apparently go downhill quick. When wife was working in such a field, Sundowners was part of the post-work cooldown; her and her co-workers would half fight who had to work on full moons. |

| #10 Is there actually a drug that does fit the description? He may have a UTI. |

| #9 The question which keeps rattling around in my head is what happens to all the early votes if the candidate changes? Probably one of the reasons democrats are so fixated on mail in voting. Is there actually a drug that does fit the description? If there is, I'm pretty sure Biden isn't on it. You can tell because isn't wearing a pantsuit. |

| #8 Perhaps he'll step down a few days before the debate, and we can find out who Kamela has short-listed for Veep. |

| #5 This is terrifying. How many lies & how much more violence and chaos will his party release when Joe melts down in public in a few weeks? |

| #3 Or, if his handlers insist on bright lights, perhaps make sure that doesn't happen. |
