My thesis here is that Biden is mentally unfit to be Commander in Chief.
The 120 million dead from COVID-19 statement that he made is SO bad, SO bad. IMO that means that he has no critical reasoning ability left at all. None. A truly sentient being would have known instinctively in the moment that it could not be true that 120 million Americans have died of the effects of the virus. What happened? Was the teleprompter text that wrong? In any event a person in touch with reality would have known that was not true and would not have said it. Joe also said on 25 February in South Carolina that 150 million Americans have been killed in gun violence since 2007. (See link below) So, pilgrims, in Joeworld 120 million have been killed by COVID-19 and 150 million by guns. In Joeworld there are only 80 million of us folks left.
The CinC of the US armed forces (POTUS) has immediate control of the country's nuclear forces. He/she can launch an attack with those forces without seeking congressional agreement. We built this crazy system during the Cold War and made sure the Soviets understood it. We did that to make MAD credible. So far as I know, we have never taken the system down.
A military person follows the president around with a satchel full of attack options (the football) which the president would use to order an attack by the operating forces. In his wallet the president has a card generated daily with which to positively identify himself/herself on the phone. The code would be transmitted to SECDEF for verification of identity. SECDEF also has the daily Gold Code. After verification the order goes to CJCS and then to the forces. SECDEF does not have the authority with which to countermand the attack order. The satchel and the the Gold Code card together are the keys to a door beyond which is Armageddon.
The argument will be made that Trump as well should not be trusted with these abominable toys. I am open to that argument. BUT, Trumpy HAS NOT unleashed Armageddon in the last 3 1/2 years. IMO that is an argument in his favor.
The MAD launch system controls require both sanity and mental competence. Joe is not mentally competent.
One can only wonder at the evidence now presented by polling that the American people prefer this demented wreck of a man over Trump. They dislike Trump that much? Remarkable. pl

EO,
Then there must be two entries as those words were not present in the one I viewed earlier.

"I am biased. Never been much for armed personality-cults convinced they are acting out God’s Will in the end-times."
And you think antifa/BLM are walking around with flowers in their hair?
You prefer atheist thugs who only want to work THEIR will on their enemies?
