I just wonder what the purpose of this article is

explaining how videos of Biden and Trump are carefully edited to demonstrate their failing faculties.

But so what, you don't need this supposedly manipulated "evidence" to know that Biden in particular is failing intellectually and physically, and that Trump is a psychologically disturbed man.

There's Biden's obvious physical decline over the four years of his presidency, , his posture, his gait, his eye lid weakness (ptosis) and his presbyphonia (his weak voice). In regard to his mental faculties, that's harder to judge, and there's a bit of variability, but his total reliance on a teleprompter, and slowness in speech and debate, all point to declining function.

Surely there's enough visible and circumstantial evidence that he is failing, and that he cannot be fit for another four years of presidency. We may be living fitter, longer, but 81 yrs old is still old. That the choice for the American electorate is just so appalling - no-one seems able to stand in the crowd and say "the emperor has no clothes"

PS worth looking up the correct use of "no-one", supposedly it's wrong, it should be "no one", but I disagree, as "no one" could suggest something more specific such as "no one event is....." or "no one thought can.....". whereas no-one eliminates this possible confusion. Additionally when you actually say "no-one", it's as a single non-determinative noun. Of course you could just write "nobody"!
