DAFUQ. Biden is trying to straddle the fence between dementia ("incompetent to stand trial") and unelectable ("incompetent to have his hand on the nuclear button").
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Biden used to be quite a bit smarter, before he had his cranium sawed off TWICE in 1988 to save his life from brain aneurysms--procedures he was lucky to survive, but which did not leave him as before.
For this reason it surprised me at first that Obama chose him; but, of course, Presidents often see value in having a nonthreatening but amiable VEEP.
BINGO the hammer is coming
They are pulling out all the stops to set up their defense for the trials they know are coming.
1. Run for office and scream “politically motivated” when indicted.
2. Start feigning mental incompetence now so it will be full blown when the indictment comes
Other options include being dead or disappearing before indictment.
