Certain proper nouns have disappeared altogether. Even when rediscovered, they have a diabolical way of disappearing again,\u201d the Democrat wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden\u2019s secret service detail can worry about his wallet, and he\u2019s got a teleprompter for wayward nouns, but I\u2019m sure he\u2019s experiencing some diminution in the memory department,\u201d Reich wrote. \u201cI\u2019m also noticing less patience, perhaps because of an unconscious \u2018use by\u2019 timer now clicking away. I\u2019m less tolerant of long waiting lines, automated phone menus, and Republicans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow the hell does Biden maintain tact or patience when he has to deal with Joe Manchin?\u201d Reich joked about the West Virginia Democrat Biden has clashed with often.<\/p>\n<p>Reich spread around some condemnation at the end of his piece, declaring members of his generation \u2014 \u201cincluding Bill and Hillary, George [W.] Trump, Newt Gingrich, Clarence Thomas, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Biden\u201d had \u201cf***ed it up royally. The world will probably be better without us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His final line was, \u201cJoe, please don\u2019t run.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others have questioned Biden\u2019s cognitive ability, including a former White House doctor during the Bush, Obama, and Trump administrations.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Ronny Jackson isn\u2019t just a Republican member of Congress from Texas, he\u2019s a doctor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was a White House physician to three U.S. Presidents, and I can tell you something isn\u2019t right with Joe Biden\u2019s cognitive state,\u201d Jackson said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RepRonnyJackson\/posts\/i-was-a-white-house-physician-to-three-us-presidents-and-i-can-tell-you-somethin\/464395931859293\/\">Facebook post<\/a> in February.
