I don't think it takes Russian propaganda to question Biden's mental health....

There is something wrong with him and don’t need to be a road scholar to realize that

Its no surprise the Putin Regime in the Whitehouse is following their playroom. MyCongressionalCowards are doing nothing to protect PA and the constifution of the US from these high crimes and misddmeanors to interfere with our PA elections. SenToomey RepBrianFitz

You mean Russia thinks Biden has dementia too. Well it is pretty obvious.

Russia controlling Trump through threats to release video of him with Hookers in hotel rooms seems to be back in play

You only have to listen to his speeches to know he’s not President material. CNN is a fraudulent Network, like the alien and Bigfoot magazines on the checkout shelves in Dollar General! They themselves have made me a Trump voter, the less of two evils! Sad!

No plot needed. Just listen to him talk.

So we need the Russians to tell us about the Biden's mental health? Are the Russians making Biden speak?

Is it really only Russia, what about China or Iran or any anti American group. Surely Russia would just pioson him to make him mental, not that we would know any difference.

s500rick Nah. We don't need Russia to assess Biden's mental health to us. Russia knew it wld be a waste of time.

I don’t think the Russians have to make that one up.. it’s pretty clear.

It doesnt take Russia or China to tell us what is wrong with Biden. Americans know

So DHS answers to Trump rather than to the USA

The presidents buddies the Russians

Wow, I think I can see and hear how he interacts and speaks to know there is something wrong with the guy

If Bidens mental state is good, let him debate Trump. Pelosi knows what will happen. So does everyone else.

Ask him who's gonna start Foles or trubisky

It’s ABC and CNN. Enough said

How can we stop the Russian interference ?

We are worried about Strokeahontas

Trump has done what was unthinkable just 4 years ago. He has co-opted the services of various institutions of US democracy to serve his agenda. This is common in third world banana republics. Congrats - The mighty US - the greatest democracy - is just like Venezuela now

We don’t need the Russians to tell use he is losing his mind. Just saying.

I can’t believe that they would do such a disservice, Trump has scared everyone so much that they have to worry about there jobs by being dishonest thank god l’m 🇨🇦

Here we go again with Russia 2.0. CNN is pitiful.

Translation: Trump is still in cahoots with the Russians as evidenced by the fact that this is his new talking point.

You don't need Russia to see Joe's mental health

Voter suppression

Today, is Joe Biden's slur of words, stuttering and stammering, while running out of gas, a tell-tale sign he has early onset Alzheimer's? Why is his staff picking certain reporters for questions? Were they given the question ahead of time? Biased questions?

Idiots that think that a speech impediment (such as stuttering) is a mental acuity impediment to hold the Presidency . This type of ignorance is what is driving America to the ground

A bunch of Bullshit

I don't need Russia to tell me that Joes got a problem.

Here we go...

👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎؟!

CNN Meeting: ok so everyone is making fun of Biden’s health, how can we spin this? Russssssiaaaa!!!!

Have you seen this guy? He’s a walking billboard for Alzheimer’s patients. A Russian plot? Every speech shows Biden’s mental frailty.

So they just now report it ?

More likely, China

Of course. Who controls the feds? The WH GOP. We need much more decent and reasonable leadership. Mask up. Vote for Biden/Harris. Care for all. =

Everybody works for The Trump Corporation and Putin these days so why am I still paying taxes? I thought the government worked for its voters.

Everyone is curious about Biden’s mental health.

Misinformation? All you have to do is watch him.

hey jack there's hundreds of russian bots on this thread right here, do something about it.

November 3rd can't get here fast enough. 🙄

MarciaBunney Yeah and it worked pretty well. Just another trump abuse of government..unless you believe their lies about why they didn’t share the info. But they obviously shared it with Fox since they repeated the same propaganda.

If you can’t see the obvious and need someone to blame then you must be. Democrat

This is crap and a mainstream lie. It's the left, like myself questioning and I get called a Russian asset. But yeah go ahead and blame Russia. We have two parties that love war-mongering, fear-mongering and misplacing blame.

All anyone has to do is listen to the man. Everyone in on this is complicit in the abuse of him. He had to take a day off after a 12 minute speech. I am NOT saying this to be mean, quite the opposite. My mother suffered from dementia, she exhibited the same signs.

GTFOH with that BS

This is the same shit that Trump and Fox assholes were spreading. Interesting coincidence?

This is unprecedented!! An opposition party in office withholding Russian interference intelligence from a presidential candidate! Oh NVM. Obama did this to Trump in 2016. Forget what I said up there. Maybe they withheld it cause they think Joe is a Russian asset

Don't believe a word trump's making prats of you all

If it was misinformation they’d say “Joe Biden is fine, he’s never been sharper”.

Another bullshit fake story

All we need to discern Joe’s cognitive decline is to listen to Joe attempting to speak in public.

SethAbramson ResignChadWolf!

SethAbramson Trump is a disaster.

See? They’re politically motivated by Trump. They’re not an independent organization (haven’t been for 3 years).

Um... I Don't need Russian misinformation. Take 30 seconds and listen to him put a sentence together.

SethAbramson Tin pot dictatorships and republican administrations are like this.

The Department of Homeland Security probably only intervenes if it is 'misinformation'. This is not, as his cognitive decline is so obvious to anyone who listens to his confused gibberish. Even with a teleprompter he is a trainwreck. 'We hold these truths...'

Of course this is why the real reason for realDonaldTrump's visit to the hospital cannot be disclosed. Can't suffer from the exact same thing you're spreading fake news about for your opponent! 🤣🤣🤣

SethAbramson The fix is in. Shame on them. They swore allegiance to the constitution not a crime family from Manhattan.

SethAbramson Chad Wolf needs to be in prison. Withholding this information, more likely to harm Trump, IMO, is a crime. POTUS is much more unfit than JoeBiden.

SethAbramson DHS needs to live up to its moniker rather than playing wingman to Russia.

SethAbramson *****VOTE, VOTE, VOTE**** Caz this might be the last time if we don't put our shit together WakeUpAmerica TrumpIsNotWell TrumpTerroism is shredding our country. Don't pay attention to Polls or the noises, BidenHarris2020

realJosephRich we don´t need rusia to tell us anything. Watching Biden on TV is enough.

SethAbramson Add RATcliffe into the mix of people who are in on the fix.

Aren’t political campaigns about spreading lies and misinformation about your opponent? What’s the difference who does it? How will you know and why should it influence you who does it. It’s misinformation and up to the person if they are stupid enough to believe it.

SethAbramson DHS is political and has nothing to do with National Security anymore!!!

This administration gets worse by the day!

SPREAD A FALSE NARRATIVE ? MISINFORMATION ? BIDEN'S NEUROLOGICAL HEALTH IS COMPROMISED. BUT YOU WON'T EVRN ASK HIM TO EXPLAIN ' YOU KNOW THE THING '

BREAKING NEWS: The person we’re seeing make a fool of himself every time he speaks is not Joe Biden. The Russians have created an actual robot that stutters and loses train of thought. They call it “Project Dementia Joe.” Nothing surprises me from the headlines of CNN anymore

OMGAWD what could the Russians do to spread *misinformation* about Bidens mental health? We all have eyes & ears & can see for ourselves. IMHO he’s not anymore mentally fit than Trump & because of that I’m voting for HowieHawkins GreenPartyUS

Good ole Trump. Do anything to get relected. Nothing is too low.

I can’t wait for the debates so JoeBiden can prove to the voters he is mentally fit.

SethAbramson DHS is compromised and crooked. This whole administration needs to be jailed

SethAbramson This. Is. Not. Breaking. News.

I'm sorry but you don't need a report when Biden's deteriorating health is obvious...but you're CNN, so...

Trump will never understand that he is a servant to the people, republicans let him get away with it. We need to vote all republicans out and make history

It’s treason that a sitting president knowingly allows a foreign power to smear a candidate for the office of president.

More trump deflections and cheating!

Doubt it was misinformation about Biden this guy has mental problems. Anyone with any common sense can see this. The US citizens don't need the Russians to point this out. Nor do we need the fake CNN news station to try to spin the obvious.

Also excellent way to get Russian trolls to flush themselves out on Twitter. Let the banning begin.

We can see it with our own eyes. Hear it with our own ears. Don't need no Russians

COLLUSION!

Antifa!!

Their are doing a terrible job. No proof, just name calling while proof Trump nearly died from a stroke and Pence was on standby.

'Mesmerizing world of short stories' My first book released. Grab multiple stories in one book. For Ebook on Amazon Kindle, below is the link.

Withholding the intelligence against Russia is the same as colluding with Russia.

Of course they did

the only misinformation about Biden's mental health, is the myth that it isn't in decline. Biden is a brownshirt supporter because that's what his handlers are telling him to do. Democrats are neo-facists, and he doesn't even understand what he's being wrangled in to.

WE CAN SEE FOR OURSELVES HE'S A NUT JOB....

Lies.

Is it really misinformation though? I’ve seen him speak lately...

Dirty Trump

As a tool of the CIA you must reach out to your comrades and get them into treatment for there Meth addiction

It is not misinformation it’s just information.

And yet trump wants to coordinate with Russia on a vaccine rather than trust our World Health Organization ...🙈

,, CONFUSED .

UNLESS the report said he was sharp as a scalpel, the was NO misinformation --- I' have never seen a dumber man run for president

But that's not misinformation cos it's the truth

How much does Traitor Trump really owe Putin with all this interfering?

It's doesn't take Russia to tell American's that JoeBiden 's mind is oatmeal! Not bad mouthing him just saying he's very old, he's had brain surgery in past. It's the natural order of things for him, at his age, knowing his prior medical conditions to have failed brain function.

In CNBC, he said in an interview, 'Defeat Biden.' Obviously it is senile dementia.

Wasn't it CNN spreading a false rumor about the President having mini-strokes?

Open season on our elections globally. Sweet.

Putin was Trumps beatest friend once. Till Putin realises he has a plonker in the palm of his hands. He put Russia first. Trump kissed the ass of every tyrant, they were all his good friends. Yes because they knew they had a donkey to ride. America is the product of Bunkerboy

So my eyes are lying when they see he is in cognitive decline? Are my eyes Russian bots?

I can’t stand this Republican Party that is in there with trump They protect all that he does even though it hurts America They should all go to jail

I like how you white liberal paid actors that support your extinction by supporting other ethnicities that hate you to death lol. I can't wait to see those ethnicities turn agaisnt you once they completely take over.

Liars

Russia Russia Russia!

The DHS is also withholding intelligence on Donald Trump’s bowel movements

Dudes, we see him real time! Let it go with the Russia thing. You lost, HARD!

You don't need a 'misinformation' campaign from the Russians to realize that Biden's mental state is declining. Just watch his Pittsburgh speech

Lololol. Yeah, his actual cognitive decline is a Deep Russia head fake.

Funniest Animals - Best Of The 2020 Funny Dogs Videos

Chandelis You do understand that you are spreading the information that Russia tried to (and clearly did) spread? Why report on the baseless information contained therein? Seem like someone wanted you to see the memo. cnn foxnews

aaaawells America sees it and witnesses it everyday. We don't need Russia's help, CNN.

If its true, how is it misinformation?

No need for anyone to tell a person who has seen Joe Biden speak that Biden is searching for words he can not remember and is frustrated with his inability to express himself COHERENTLY. Watch for yourself...Sadly, his inability to speak full thought in sentences are NOT gaffes

I’ve seen video proof that Biden has dementia.

ok CNN again Half Truth . Question is why won't he debate Trump before we vote?

Not surprised. Didn’t Trump in Helsinki believe Russia over American intelligence? Trump loves Russian meddling. He’s outright asked for it. TraitorTrump PutinsPuppet

DonaldJTrumpJr has been spreading the Russia misinformation because he's colluding with Russia - again. TeamJoe TeamPelosi SymoneDSanders RepAdamSchiff

Looks pretty crazy to Me!! I'm no Russian.

Every single branch of the Trump government is corrupt at this point. If it were interference against Trump you can bet DHS would've released it.

Way way way way wait. Come on man! You’re nothing but a dog faced pony.....oh I don’t.....know.

You mean the disinformation potus spreads himself? Interesting.

Looks like thehill is working for the Russians

Where's Walter Kronkite when you need the Truth!! CNN= Communist News Network

Why does JoeBiden have to run his campaign for the voters but it appears he has to take all of trump’s government as well? Has this ever happened previously?

Misinformation? The man can’t finish sentences, reads top line off of script and has no idea who he is at times, he has called himself donald trump, said he is joe biden and he is gonna beat joe biden, is hiding from questions and debates. Pretty sure the man has dementia.

COMMUNISM ISN'T DEAD WE HAVE TO GET RID OF THEM!! THEY R DANGER TO US AND TO OUR COUNTRY WE NEED TO STOP BEING THEIR PALS AND START BEING VIGILANT WHAT THEY R CAPABLE OF!!!!!!!!!!

WTF?

as if watching some of his own speeches would not be proof enough - LOL

He does that all by himself.

Haha! We don’t need any help. Just listen to him yourself.

trump getting control of all agencies, especially the most critical. Sounds we will become a dictatorship. He already has cable fox, healthcare, fda, cdc, firing judges, law enforcement and inciting violence. Kim jong un his idol and putin too. WakeUpAmerica !!

So it’s worse than we thought?

withheld because it was fake. DemocratScam

Maybe this will help, he’s differently heading it

Well it sounds more like they knew he was out yo lunch before we did

Horrible, but God has a way of revealing the light into dark places and revealing the lurking evil and misdeeds. We know that Joe will be attacked by Trump and Putin... but Trump can't hold a candle to this good man who has served his country all his life!

Fine let them debate and let us decide

We don’t need any help from Russia seeing that. All we have to do is watch him speak! Russia Russia Russia. 🙄🙄

Let me see if I've got this right: the Trump admin buries an Intel briefing re Russia's election interference pushing a false narrative then uses that same info as a talking point against Biden?!!!

Where is the misinformation🤔 Joe is good enough at spreading his deterioration in mental health himself...doubt he needs the Russians help with that😂

BacchettiDross My God! DHSgov Stop this.

Is this another re-run I’m watching?

Seriously . We need Russia to tell us Biden can’t complete a sentence without reading from teleprompter? Can’t wait for a debate .

Fire ChrisCuomo

Umm, we don’t need any extra influence to know that’s true. Joe has done that all on his own.

We don't need misinformation. Its painfully apparent to anyone who's been watching him since the debates began. He's a human muppet.

No one needs Russian misinformation to see that JoeBiden’s mental heath is in quick decline. All you need to do is watch one of his live events where he has trouble reading from a teleprompter and won’t take questions unless their pre-scripted. The guy is a bumbling mess!

I bet trump knows all about this. Also Barr.

There doing a good job.

NATURALLY. TrumpStroke TrumpIsNotWell DementiaDonald

Let’s see how Dems can create a circus about his obvious cognitive dissonance.

No misinformation needed... Just listen to JoeBiden speak... he is obviously in serious mental decline. It's the natural course of life, it's sad when it happens, but he clearly is unfit to hold office... any office...

His campaign knows. DrBiden knows. People that see his live, unscripted appearances know. We don’t need meme generating foreigners to help us see JoeBiden’s decline. It was a DRAFT. Journalists don’t know what a draft is. High-School Composition 101. ActivistMedia

Joe Biden can barely form a sentence and rambles incoherently on a regular basis. I don't need anyone to tell me that.

You're blaming the Russians for what we can see with our own eyes? I hope Biden is ok, but there is a definite difference between now and ten years ago.

Don’t need to spread it, it’s right there on display every time he speaks.

MAGA2020 🇷🇺 'Is my møst useful idiøts, nø☭' 🇷🇺

Voter id will fix it. Ask biden to debate the president, Unfortunately the knew narrative is very good your only problem we have a memories and you cannot delete what the dems have said and what msm has spewed.

Dont burn ot 🔥🔥🔥

Right or wrong, withholding Biden’s aging and mental decline is doing him a favor! The people should know Biden’s abilities!

So 45 could get as much mileage as possible from it. We invade country's, or at least send in Special Forces, for this kind of election tampering.

That’s crazy 😜

You dont need fake russian misinfo to know that Joe Biden is mentally ill. The guy is in total senility. Making him go through this is nothing short of elderly abuse. He's go no chance. Criminal CNN is desperate and scared.

This is somehow not in any way shocking, at all.

Isn't it interesting that Trump uses Russian talking points. 🤔

Bullshit. Joe Biden does more than enough to 'spread misinformation regarding Joe Biden's mental health.' He doesn't need any help showing he's a dementia sufferer.

hahahaah well, its working!!!

Listen fat, here’s the deal. You stack your sauce before the election and you decide you change your mind about what you thought you knew before they even changed it. Listen, all that really matters is that you pick your friends wisely and your enemies even more wisely.

I’m sure that will be given to the intelligence committee in writing very soon. Right!

Why don't you rename yourself MockingbirdTV ?

America doesn't need an intelligence briefing from Russia to tell us Biden is losing his mind.

Another lie to try and help lazy joe

☠️

There's a wolf in Wolf's clothing...

Madness! Utter Madness!!

Of course they did

He’s senile af. I mean come on.

Yes but ask a country like UK Nation and actors speak louder than words about whatever anybody will do or say nobaby understand because of political selfish argument hypocrite propaganda argument

Anybody can take one look at him and see what his mental health is and it’s really bad! 🙄

The corruption is never ending

that isn't really misinformation unless they were saying he was mentally fit for duty.

Completley inconsequential. All the election interference in the world can't save the Stroke Victim in Chief now. All of his supporters are dying and the other half will be in jail for domestic terrorism.

What a way to run government. Don't tell the Big Kahuna, he might be angry. Truth seems to have a negative effect on him and his cohorts.

Just pretend the rapid decline happening in front of your own eyes is just all russian propaganda.

Hahaha the Russians again! Like anyone needs foreign interference to see poor Joe has lost it

Misinformation? Must be that he is well.

I don’t need the Russians to point out for me that Joe Biden’s brain is sputtering and in shut down mode.

Well, ProjectLincoln is taking care of this breach in justice and failure of upholding the constitution: they’re making ads about Trump’s trip to the hospital and his mental state.

We don’t really need fake news on his mental health issues...we hear it and see it every time he speaks. Seems to be very real to me, so like...

We don't need these lies. Anyone clearly can see this from his speeches and decide that on their own. No thanks CNN. Muh Russia again? 🤣. Right when your poll numbers are tanking.

realDonaldTrump JoeBiden KamalaHarris But Trump is doing such a bang up job spreading the Russian propaganda. Trump is very dedicated. To Russia.

Biden is more for the people than Trump. He can’t take care of his people and sign a executive order for us but he could for everything else 😡

“Misinformation” Is Russia gonna tell us Joe’s ok? Not dementia riddled?

Those damn Boris & Natasha are at it again!! :D We don't need Russian KGB agts to spread info on Joe's mental health. Its pretty much obvious to all.

And yet trump talks about the shooting of a man in golf terms and supports a radicalized 17 year old that killed two people as a victim. Ps, trump can’t even say Yosemite without looking like a moron.

Cheaters gonna cheat, realDonaldTrump.

We don’t need propaganda to see Biden has mental health problems. Just watch him speak for a couple of minutes.

Putin is the RNC campaign mgr.

Biased headline. You didn't add the line about Iran and China that is in your article. You could have made this about foreign interference that affects the election as a whole, but you rather simp for the candidate you were told to simp for.

I wonder why, realDonaldTrump?

And Trump spreads the rumor.....

We’re toast.

BREAKING NEWS: Current administration is corrupt but it does't matter because Nancy and Chuck will make strong worded tweets which will show them they really mean business this time....

It’s not misinformation if it’s obvious whenever Joe comes out of the basement

The DNC doesn’t need to do this…we’ve heard him speak

“Misinformation about Joe Biden’s mental health” The only misinformation about Joe’s mental health would be to say he is sharp as a whip. It doesn’t take the Russians to show the world that Joe doesn’t know what planet he is on right now.

Oh Yeah, we need the Russian to tell us ? I can see JoeBiden mental condition on display every time he opens his mouth

Did the Russians create a mock Biden robot that garbles speeches read from teleprompters?

As if the world needs more proof of Bidens dementia than the one he provides every single time he talks. Can’t finish his thoughts, interrupts himself as he is giving an answer to a question and most time sounds completely incoherent. Vote3rdParty

Biden is proofing his incompetence when ever he crawls out of his basement

😂 you mean worse than the Russian disinformation on Trump’s physical health just recently? You 🤡.

Lol. Disbelieve your eyes and ears, for the Russians clearly have you fooled.

Well well It sounds a bit like Election interference to me Trump You have destroyed America. There is nothing left for Biden to destroy. “What have you got to lose America”
