The presidential candidate has faced previously undisclosed health issues, including a parasite that he said ate part of his brain.

    So...we have 3 candidates for president, of which

    -One claims a literal worm ate part of his brain

    -One cannot get off more than 4 sentences before becoming incoherent, has been ruled to be unable to be tried due to poor memory, and cannot keep names or places straight

    -One thinks humans have a finite amount of energy and has used this as reason to not exercise, claims wind turbines cause cancer

    All are pro capitalist, xenophobic, racist, pro war goons

    What variety

        Come on Jack, it's your duty as a member of the voting public to know the candidates

        Biden was NOT technically 'declared unfit to stand trial' as every liberal publication screamed about, but the special counsel did say this:

        Hur’s report referred numerous times to Biden’s memory as “limited,” claiming the 81-year-old did not remember the dates of his vice presidency and when his son Beau died

        “At trial, Mr Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory”...“It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him — by then a former president well into his eighties — of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”

        I dunno, there's a pretty thin line between 'able to credibly convince people he is unable to stand trial' and 'is actually unable to stand trial'

        Trump thought people worked like energizer batteries

        Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted

        Also claims the noise from wind power causes cancer

        If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 percent in value. And they say the noise causes cancer

        So which one will it be, the one who had a worm eating his brain, the one who is essentially considered unfit to stand trial due to memory issues, or the one who thinks people are like D cell batteries?

      Not true, you also have increasingly homophobic ancaps, guys who think Trump isn’t racist enough, and two socdems who could’ve just ran a unified campaign if they were smart about this shit

      If you’re lucky you might have the PSL (or maybe the prohibition party if your state is awful enough and you’ve lost everything you have to irony poisoning)

    I knew he had brain worms, but not literal brain worms. Though it looks like the mercury poisoning did more actual damage.

    God it would be so funny if there was no article. If he just said this to the press and didn't elaborate. No body, just the headline "man has brainworms"
