[QUOTE="childeye 2, post: 77561356, member: 412375"] As I have already said; people have problems remembering as they get older. To rephrase: I'm not disputing that Biden's memory is in decline. To rephrase again: If you think I'm arguing that Biden's memory is not in decline you have erected a strawman argument. From the record, this is what I said: [I]"In my view it's entirely possible [U]Biden did not misspeak[/U]. It looks to me as if he really didn't know that the late Representative, Jackie Walorski had died."[/I] I note that your question above is posed in a definitive format. I will rephrase your question so that I can answer the intent of your question without framing my response as a definitive fact. Question: In your view, did Biden know or not know that Jackie had died even though the Whitehouse had indicated he knew she had died? Answer: It looks to me as if Biden really didn't know she had died despite the Whitehouse indicating he knew she had died. Follow up question: Do you think it's because he was not informed or that he was informed, and he forgot? Answer: I would think Biden was informed and then he forgot. Reiteration of prior discourse to show consistency of my position: I'm not disputing that Biden's memory is in decline. People have problems remembering as they get older. Reiteration of prior discourse to show consistency of my position: As I have already said several times; people have problems remembering as they get older. To rephrase: I'm not disputing that Biden's memory is in decline. To rephrase again: If you think I'm arguing that Biden's memory is not in decline you have erected a strawman argument. Why would they? It's not like Biden forgot his son died. Biden has been in public service for over forty years and knows thousands of people. As President, Biden probably hears about the deaths of people he knew every day, and he probably has staff who prepare condolences which he signs. Biden could have just forgotten he was told she had died. Reiteration of prior discourse to show consistency of my position: As I have already said several times; people have problems remembering as they get older. I think you're fully capable of understanding that a president who is old can be told that someone they knew had died and yet forget they were told, particularly when as President it could be commonplace to hear of someone they know of having died every day. Reiteration of prior discourse to show consistency of my position: I'm not disputing that Biden's memory is in decline; people have problems remembering as they get older. I think all presidents have staff that write condolence letters. But yes, I'm suggesting Biden has been very busy, and it could have slipped his mind. Reiteration of prior discourse to show consistency of my position: As I have already said several times; people have problems remembering as they get older. Why would Biden pretend he didn't know she was dead? It's more probable that he had forgotten. Reiteration of prior discourse to show consistency of my position: People have problems remembering as they get older. (Not being facetious) Actually, I think his main concern was to give a sense of hope about the hostages while downplaying expectations of anything happening soon. There's just no proof he forgot the word Hamas. I consider that when for political gain someone says something that is disparaging about others which may or may not be true, it would be wicked of me to want to believe it, particularly when there's a perfectly plausible alternative explanation. However, when someone says something good about someone else which may or may not be true, it's not wicked to want to believe it, it's wicked to not want to believe it. When I must believe one way or the other, the positive prejudice of grace is preferable because even if I'm wrong I'm not a hypocrite. But if I believe the negative prejudice and I am wrong, then I'm a hypocrite because I've believed something bad about someone else without proof, and that's not what I would want done to me. So, it's not a tortured explanation, it's just loving others as I would want to be loved. Reiteration of prior discourse for consistency of my position: If you think I'm arguing that Biden's memory is not in decline you have erected a strawman argument. [/QUOTE]
