There is one last thing that must be said about the effort to cover up Joe Biden’s mental infirmity, not to give the man one last shove out the door but to call attention to what remains an ongoing scandal in American politics. And that is: They were running him for another term.
To understand the outrageousness of this scheme, let’s briefly review what we’ve learned about how key administration officials managed the president’s decline.
From this weekend’s “now it can be told”-themed piece in the New York Times:
“They rearranged meetings to make sure Mr. Biden was in a better mood — a strategy one person close to him described as how aides should handle any president. At times, they delayed sharing information with him, including negative polling data, as they debated the best way to frame it. They surrounded him with aides when he walked from the White House to the waiting presidential helicopter on the South Lawn so that news cameras could not capture his awkward bearing.

Incompetent senile mean old grifter.
WE all knew.
Suppose that in an alternate universe, Biden had declined to debate Trump in 2024 - the excuse being that Trump was a “hater” and a “racist”. The mainstream media would have fully supported that decision.
Then Biden just stayed put in his basement. No press conferences or anything like that. With his name recognition and media support, could a severely incapacitated Biden have won in 2024?
Oh, yes.
Biden was merely a puppet.
His staff were the controlling strings.
Obama controlled the strings
Sounds like an episode of the old "Twilight Zone" series.
"Witness one nation, under God, held hostage by cabal covering for and pulling the strings of an enfeebled, barely coherent Head of State..."

“A similarly-timed article in the Guardian relayed an anecdote from political scientist Larry Sabato. A Democratic senator called Sabato in early 2024 and said, “You do realize, off the record, that Joe Biden is not going to be our nominee?” Sabato, stunned...”
Sabato is not much of a “political scientist” if he really thought that Biden would run in 2024.
ALWAYS REMEMBER - for Democrats it’s the CAUSE that counts, and getting to that point simply doesn’t matter (such as killing/maiming a million Ukrainians, for the, now-failed, ‘cause’ of taking down Putin).
They lied about his condition for four years and especially at the end. We on the outside suspected it, and there is no way in hell that anyone in Washington who had any dealings with him didn’t know it. This was one of the most insidious aspects of his disastrous and destructive administration, and I am surprised it wasn’t an issue in the campaign. You want a “threat to democracy”? How about an executive branch run by people in the shadows who never received one single vote?
Yeah, Obama's third term.
Bammy’s “Front Man”, PinocchiJoe.
Putting a senile old man on the Presidential ticket, then adding an idiot to the ticket the first time, while having to commit massive voter fraud to allow them to win, was the real scandal.
I disagree. Biden running for a second term pretty much guaranteed Trump would be our next prez.
