This title is a bit misleading: it implies that the whitehouse is deciding on not going through with a cognitive test rather than the fact that a cognitive test isn't expected for the physical exam, unless the doctor is worried and recommends one. The doctor hasn't recommended one in this case.

brump “If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few [concerns], if any.”

Democrats have to protect their genocide at all costs. Even if it's forcing you to deny obvious reality in a way that's somehow more egregious than Baghdad Bob. This is just pathetic, even for Blue MAGA.

Looks like you need to add a cognitive test to your next physical

Glad to hear the country isn't wasting resources putting Biden through a test everyone knows he'll fail anyway

I'm not convinced of this. I've heard good arguments both ways and would like a comprehensive cognitive test to confirm either way.

Do you genuinely believe that if Biden did fail a cognitive test, the white house would even admit it?

Libs made fun of Trump for saying if you stop testing covid numbers will go down then use the exact same strategy to prove Biden isn't completely over the hill.
