Well, there you have the new talking point from AP (whoever).

It went from he had a cold, to Trump told so many lies it broke Joe's head, to he had jet lag that lasted two weeks, now this one.





WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s conduct behind closed doors, in the Oval Office, on Air Force One and in meetings around the world is described in the same dual way by those who regularly see him in action.

He is often sharp and focused. But he also has moments, particularly later in the evening, when his thoughts seem jumbled and he trails off mid-sentence or seems confused. Sometimes he doesn’t grasp the finer points of policy details. He occasionally forgets people’s names, stares blankly and moves slowly around the room.

Backing up the above, here it comes from the WSJ.

Biden Can’t Spin His Way Out of This​

Opinion by Peggy Noonan
We are living big history. We do that so often we don’t always notice. But a proud president is hunkered down in the White House, and his party is frantically trying to decide whether to press him to step aside from his bid for re-election after a catastrophic 90 minutes revealing that he is neurologically not up to the demands of a campaign or a second term. (And revealing, too, that his true condition, the depth of his decline, had been kept, quite deliberately and systematically, from the American people. Oh, the histories that will be written, and the villains that will be named.)
~Snip~
The elected officeholders of the Democratic Party should take responsibility and press the president to leave. You can’t scream, “Democracy is on the line,” and put up a neurologically compromised candidate to fight for it. They haven’t moved for two reasons. One has to do with their own prospects: You don’t want to be the one who kills the king, you want to be the one who warmly mourns the king and takes his mantle after someone else kills him. The other is fear of who would replace him on the ticket, and how exactly that would happen.
~Snip~
What a tragedy this is. A president cratering his historical reputation, his wife and family ruining any affection history would have had for them when Donald Trump wins. They have no idea how they’re going to look.


Commentary:
Wow!! Peggy Noonan cuts to the bone in her Op-ED.
The paralysis we’re watching is happening at a particularly inconvenient time for Democrats, and it’s their own fault. To stick with Dementia Joe at this point is effectively to state that the American government can function without a President for four more years. There are a lot of administrative wonks who would be delighted with that arrangement but the rest of us, not so much. The problem that remains, however, is who will bell the cat?
We have seen the decades of Democrats teaching that that violence is an acceptable means of protest when they do not get what they want. Now, one wrong move means violence may be unleashed upon them.

And that is a cognitive defect unacceptable in the United States president.
 
I believe if they don't dump Biden, he is going to be a liability for the Democrats. I think Trump has already won but would appreciate a better contender to fight. :p
 
Be afraid, be very afraid, that Biden and his ugly junta will pull something to try and force the American people into backing the Commander In Chief.
 
Four years ago, "experts" aid Brit Hume was wrong about Biden having senility. Yeah, "experts".
