Chill out, my fellow Americans. President Biden isn't cognitively impaired

LA Times  

President Biden stuck around after his State of the Union address in the House chamber talking to well-wishers. “No one’s gonna talk about cognitively impaired now!” exclaimed New York Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler. Thirteen times, Biden took on former President Trump — “my predecessor” — without deigning to name him, and he batted down the rude members who jeered and yelled, shutting them up with on-point comebacks. And here’s the simplest truth: You can’t love your country only when you win.” Biden stole the thunder of uber-obstreperous Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who wore a T-shirt emblazoned with the words “Say Her Name,” a reference to a Georgia nursing student who was killed by a suspect authorities have said is in the country illegally. “Laken Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal,” Biden said, using an unfortunate term and mispronouncing her name as “Lincoln,” but taking the wind out of MTG’s sails nonetheless.
