A smart move on Biden’s part. A neurological evaluation isn’t a test that is going to come back with a positive or a negative. No matter who took the test, there would be a wealth of statistics for dishonest actors to distort.
I suppose he could take a simplified screening test like Trump did, but that was not done by an independent neurologist.
I agree. You don’t concede things like this. And honestly until last Thursday, it wasn’t Biden’s mental faculties that had him in the doghouse, it was his political ones.
I mean - I’d prefer he just stepped back voluntarily but you’re entirely correct that a neurological test is nothing but a trap. If he submitted to one fox would have a panel of dishonest doctors ready to pick it apart.
I just want to beat the Republicans and Trump. Biden is certainly a liability in that regard, but replacing him might be worse. Any replacement would almost certainly be another establishment lackey, and Biden has surprisingly been the best establishment president we could hope for. I think he is still very capable of being president, but I don’t know that he is capable of campaigning for president.

Also there’s no pleasing the cult. It’ll be faked, tampered with, or whatever, but in no case would anyone go “okay, now I’m satisfied and reassured.”
