Biden’s demonstrations of his senile dementia are now coming so fast that I’ve stopped trying to keep track of them. Incredibly you still have POTATUS defenders trying to gaslight people about his “age” and his “stutter”. On that last: I’ve been following his career since he crashed and burned in the 1988 Presidential election after he plagiarised the Working Class stories of the equally hopeless British Labour leader Neil Kinnock, and I never once heard about his “stutter” – until 2020!
Such gaslighting just cannot work in an age when voters can, with their own eyes and ears, capture scenes like this..
Could they put instruction like “Pause” in different colours?
Of course you expect gaslighting from the White House, as they showed with their official transcript of the above:
Folks, imagine what we can do next. Four –
AUDIENCE MEMBER: (Inaudible.)
THE PRESIDENT: – Four more years (Inaudible).
AUDIENCE: Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!
This isn’t just embarrassing on all levels. It really is an insult to the intelligence of the average voter. Only marginally better are those Biden fluffers who try to focus on nothing but Trump, including his walking gait supposedly indicating “aphasia” and his “dementia” with missed words, plus wilder stuff than that.
Amazingly even The Daily Show has put a toe in the water in making fun of Biden’s rotting brain:
And there’s going to be even more of this going forward as his staff desperately try to pretend that Biden is a normal candidate conducting a normal campaign on the road. They can’t conduct the basement campaign of 2020 since there’s no Chinese Lung Rot excuse. And campaigning will mean not just speechifying but …. walking around:
With aides walking between Biden and journalists’ camera position outside the White House, the visual effect is to draw less attention to the 81-year-old’s halting and stiff gait…. Some Biden advisers have told Axios they’re concerned that videos of Biden walking and shuffling alone — especially across the grass — have highlighted his age.
Haha. The Weekend At Bernie’s presidency. “Age” again! Come on, if you put him into a powered exoskeleton controlled by his brain, it would be worse.
I guess his staff have given up on trying to get Biden to break out that sad little faux, two step, pity-pat, jog – although the pièce de résistance is when he’s walking on a stage, makes a rigid-body turn, and then raises his arms like Frankenstein awaiting guidance. Can he never remember how he got up on to the stage: short-term memory, eh?
Presidential disabilities have been covered up before of course: JFK’s Addisons Disease and the daily cocktail of uppers he was injected with to combat it, Taft’s obesity, Roosevelt’s use of a wheelchair due to polio, and of course the last eighteen months of Edith Willson’s Presidential term. Yet this is so much worse as – for the first time ever thanks to ubiquitous phone cameras and social media – we literally get to see the household chamberlains carry this decrepit dementia riddled carcass of a human towards and possibly across the finish line. Amazingly none other than the New York Times felt obliged to attack Biden for refusing press interviews: that’s how much Biden’s staff are shielding him:
I read the NYT every day and have closely followed presidential campaign news for the last 20 years. I want the NYT to hold to the highest journalistic standards, and — without question — any deviation from that has been in favor of Biden. It’s ridiculous for Biden’s people to be whining that they don’t get enough respect.
To add extra irony is the fact this strategy of being on the campaign trail while keeping your opponent off it may actually be working for Trump; his gaffes and OUTRAGEOUS COMMENTS are missing in action as he sits in a New York courtroom, while Biden’s physical and mental frailty is now seen daily.
In fact Trump has simply turned lemons into lemonade by using the courtroom breaks to get out and campaign in a city and state he likely can’t win.
Or can he? The New York Working Class may be the decider.
