Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The Democratic Party needs to replace Biden on the ticket. There are too many examples over the past few years that this man doesn't have all of his mental faculties together and the odds are more than fair that if reelected he will not be able to finish out a second term. Democrats are in denial over this. For the good of the country he should be pushed to step aside. The idea that the two major parties are giving people a choice of either a fossil with on set dementia or a blustering embarrassing convicted felon is a low point in American history.

WASHINGTON—When President Biden met with congressional leaders in the West Wing in January to negotiate a Ukraine funding deal, he spoke so softly at times that some participants struggled to hear him, according to five people familiar with the meeting. He read from notes to make obvious points, paused for extended periods and sometimes closed his eyes for so long that some in the room wondered whether he had tuned out.

Behind closed doors? Where have you been? He has shown numerous times in wide open public that he is slipping, both physically and mentally.

 

[Mac1958]

He's just too old to be President. You can't have someone in there who is that fragile.

And then there's the alternative.

How the fuck did we get here? Our system needs to be fixed before it's too late.

 

[BackAgain]

It is still very possible that the DNC powers that be WILL have Potato removed from the ticket.

That wouldn’t end their problems.

The one they install will still need to win the Election.

Their bench is godawful. Who would be their new standard bearer? Newscum? would the DNC really want to have debates about how he ran California?

Kamala? Dear God. That campaign would include endless cackling from their nominee, alone. Her record is non-existent as VP.

Who else do they have. Realistically? Answer: nobody with a serious prospect of winning.

well you got creepy because he was purchased product and would do exactly what he was told to do. There was no need for the or else motivator. That's how you got there. hahahahahaahahahaahahahahaha Here's the scoop from the elitist view.



And why trump won't work is because he won't do what he's asked. What do you think the last seven years has been about, punishment for trump!!!!!

Well, one good thing that comes of this is that Democrats and WH staffers are still saying that Biden is "sharp as a tack." It is a manifestly good thing when evil people pronounce obvious lies, so that uncommitted observers can see that they are shameless liars.

Much as I despise the man, I sincerely hope he remains on the ticket.

I'd agree if -- just one leading official without an axe to grind and not considered to be "out there" would comment like this article suggests.

quote --

“Congressional Republicans, foreign leaders and nonpartisan national-security experts have made clear in their own words that President Biden is a savvy and effective leader who has a deep record of legislative accomplishment,” said White House spokesman Andrew Bates. “Now, in 2024, House Republicans are making false claims as a political tactic that flatly contradict previous statements made by themselves and their colleagues.”

and --

Most of those who said Biden performed poorly were Republicans, but some Democrats said that he showed his age in several of the exchanges.

I'm sorry, but "showed his age" is not what the OP and article are suggesting.

Fragile? Was FDR fragile when he oversaw America's leadership during WWII?

SOS, different day. The Murdoc lie Machine has to try and take the heat off their convict candidate.

"The Wall Street Journal published a seemingly damning story on Tuesday night about President Joe Biden’s diminishing mental acuity, with a headline guaranteed to cause panic: “Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping.”

With a header like that, you might think the Journal really has the goods on Biden this time, with quotes from dozens of sources within the White House, likely speaking anonymously for fear of appearing to betray their boss with the damaging confessions about how he, in fact, is too old and unfit to be president for another term.

But no. Who does the Journal have? Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson. And former Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. And Idaho Sen. James Risch, who is—as you might have guessed—a Republican.

Contrary to its terrifying headline, what the Journal has is a blatant hit piece from Republicans who are shamelessly pushing the Republican talking point that Biden—who is only four years older than Donald Trump—is oh so very, very old. Concerningly so.

Let’s take a closer look at this smear masquerading as reporting.

Crazy talk, And oh wait! Here we go with the name calling and little girly, juvenile shit. How does an adult respond to this kind of childish crap?

never mind

 

[Lesh]

All this while promoting a fat orange criminal (yes criminal) who is only a couple years younger and babbles like crazy.

A man who could never ride a bike and probably can’t walk 30 yards unassisted

 

[Zincwarrior]

Senility vs a deteriorating dictator wannabe. I will go with the nonFELON. Trump's people are under felony indictment in five states and the Fed.

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

"Former President Donald Trump, who at 77 is 3½ years younger than Biden, also has faced questions about his mental acuity. Indeed, both candidates have been captured repeatedly on camera slipping up on facts or otherwise botching their public remarks, providing a steady stream of fodder for both Democrats and Republicans to attack the mental capacity of the opposing candidate." -- Hmmm... WSJ discover candidates are old?

 

[odanny]

Joe is just fine, stop worrying, he has the energy of a 75 year old.

Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping​

Behind open doors. In public. In private.

Oh boy, another "my candidate is not as demented as yours" thread.

That is like 3 so far today.

What fun.

Poor the dainty. He imagines his ad hominem bullshit will ever compel me to refer to our demented President by name.

And let us notice that he remains off topic and in ongoing deflection mode. Heaven forbid that he ever actually posts in the manner he pretends to insist upon.

And God forbid he address the actual point. Not sure he is capable of that.

I’ll help:

The TOPIC here is: our President showing signs of slipping and whether the DNC might seek to replace the incumbent on their ticket.

My post addressed the incredibly weak position the Dims are in. In reply, the dainty pretends to be concerned about how I refer to the Potato. Hint: his quibble is off topic.
