President Kamala Harris is a very frightening thought. I don't think our nation would survive it.

Whether he's suffering from something psychological I can't say what I can say is. It's only the VP who can remove him from office.

Even if a majority in the Senate or the Congress vote for remove Biden due to his psychological illness they can't do anything without VP approval.

(I could remember it wrong)

Sorta. The VP along with a majority of the Cabinet can remove a president under the 25th amendment but Congress holds the power of impeachment. Two totally separate actions but only the first requires the VPs involvement although both would put him in the oval office.

Where was all this concern over presidential cognitive ability during the previous administration where it was actually obvious from day one? Huh.

That's because it all turned out to be more partisan lies whereas Bidens problems are real enough for everyone to see.

Explain that to your grandchildren ... though someday they may have to explain you to others.

True but as Platapus told me once the Cabinet can't solely remove a President without the VP's approval.

And which VP would put a knife in his/her chefs back.

The two methods of removal are:

1. If the Vice President and a majority of the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, submit their written declaration to Congress that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

2. Upon impeachment and conviction of an impeachable offence (wearing a tan suit doesn't count) the POTUS is removed from office and the VP becomes President. The only way the Republican party would pursue such would be if they could simultaneously impeach the POTUS, VP and Speaker of the House (currently).

I stand corrected and hopefully remember it for future discussion.

Biden suffers from cognitive and intellectual decline due to age.

Trump suffers from peronality disorder, he has a psychopathic personality. Existence of any intellectual capabilities are unknown, proven only is the lack of scruples and moral standards, which is a symptom of psychopathic personality disorder.

The first turns into an idiot. The latter always has been a - malicious - idiot.

A psychopath who protects his nation's interests is far better than a guy in mental decline who should be in a care home.

Trump never once cared about nor protected U.S. interests, much less understood them. Anything Biden does is, by default, better. Could it be even better? Yes. But sour grapes delusional comparison is just a diaper jig.

A psychopath who cares for anyone else than just himself is by definition a contradiction in itself. To only care for himself is what makes a psychopath a psychopath.

Even more, he lacks the ability to care for others. He is not able to feel empathy as well.

Interesting discussion
Did the ex president care more for the country than himself or did he only care for himself ?

Well it depends on who you ask.

No bodies falling from airplanes or flapping in the breeze at 30,000 ft stuck in gear doors when Trump was President...

After attacks on the US Embassy, Soleimani got turned into a fine red mist when Trump was President...

Ambassadors weren't beaten to death by angry mobs in Benghazi when Trump was President...

North Korea's Dear Leader agreed to show up to a diplomatic table with the US when Trump was President...

US Navy personnel didn't cower after being taken hostage by Iranians when Trump was President...

Gasoline was less than $2/gallon when Trump was President...

Hordes of illegal aliens weren't swarming over the Mexican border when Trump was President...

But hey, no mean tweets anymore from a President...
