She is 83 years old. Even if she isn’t experiencing cognitive decline (which I highly doubt), how much longer do you think that will be the case?

Why do you highly doubt it? Because she’s 83? I work with people in their 80s daily and they’re as sharp as anyone else on my team.

Cause we are materialists.

Cognitive change as a normal process of aging has been well documented in the scientific literature. Some cognitive abilities, such as vocabulary, are resilient to brain aging and may even improve with age. Other abilities, such as conceptual reasoning, memory, and processing speed, decline gradually over time.

Fuck off with your anti-science agenda.

Just going to ignore the evidence of Pelosi’s cognitive decline that @emizeko provided, are you? Here it is again:

That was three years ago. Do you think she’s somehow improved since then?

Don’t worry about them, worry about yourself and try to defend what the point you’re trying to make instead of deflecting.

In any case, a 10 second clip is your evidence? It’s a tall show involving communication between a host and a guest and anything can go wrong. For all we know she wasn’t sure if she was on the air or not and was genuinely confused.

When she was majority leader she gave daily press conferences in front of cameras and the media. An out of context YouTube clip is hardly evidence of anything, I’ll take the daily pressers where she exhibited extreme prowess as a much more accurate indicator.
