Brain deteriorates the same way as the body, old people shouldn't be in the Congress.

Lemmy has decided on a narrative to believe so no evidence will be enough. Couldn't be that a video would reveal the actual state of his health so they went with a picture. No, obviously it's a deepfake. If they release a video that'll be a deepfake or a body double.
If they were in a position to get away with lying so brazenly with a fake proof of life they wouldn't need to bother with the pretense.
I wish I had the brain disease that made me willing believe anything as long as it serves a convenient narrative. Seems more fun.
