What kind of people would drug a mentally ill old man so that he could appear 'normal' or would subject him to that debate we all just witnessed? Not only was he incapable of remembering what he was supposed to say, he was incapable of understanding what he was being asked. And the crowning shame was seeing him standing there helpless when the debate was over until Jill went onto the stage to lead him off with two large secret service men positioned to catch him if he fell descending the two shallow steps.
Definitely leftwing but intellectually honest. Brendan O'Neill is appalled at the moral deficiency obvious in a Democrat Party who would use a frail old man in that way and all the other ways they abuse him:
". . .Old Joe’s physical infirmity is not the thing that should horrify us. Everyone ages, everyone withers. No, it is the
moral infirmity of the Democratic establishment that is truly chilling. It is those who are so bent on power that they’ll force a frail man on to the world stage to do their bidding who deserve our ire. It is the media movers and shakers who said ‘Joe is fine’, and who damned the concerned as ageist cranks, who have behaved atrociously. Behind Biden’s physical decay is the far graver problem of the moral decay of a ruling class that will lie, gaslight and bully just to stay on top. . ."
". . .In truth, the ‘utter bullshit’ came not from people concerned for Biden’s health, but from an establishment hell-bent on disguising Biden’s withering. Their gaslighting was ceaseless. When a
New York Times poll in March found that 73 per cent of Americans agreed – ‘somewhat’ or ‘strongly’ – that Biden is ‘just too old to be an effective president’, journalism professor
Jeff Jarvis raged: ‘This is not journalism.’ It is ‘shameful’, he said, to make age an ‘issue’.
Time slammed the ‘ageist attacks [on] President Biden’. ‘Biden’s big problem? Your ageism’,
sneered one columnist at bigoted America. Just this month, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said
video clips of Biden looking lost and confused are mostly ‘cheap fakes’ made by right-wingers in ‘bad faith’. . ."
". . .These overnight worriers for Biden’s wellbeing are utterly without shame. For all of them belong to that credentialled class that has either been content to ignore the blazing signs of Biden’s waning health or have actively conspired in playing it down. . ."
The presidential debate has exposed the ruthlessness of the American establishment.
