The notion that Biden is less mentally fit for the presidency than Trump is extremely dubious. The president has been involved in public policy for more than half a century and Biden has almost certainly forgotten more about geopolitics and the federal bureaucracy than Trump has ever learned. Age notwithstanding, Biden remains far more cognitively qualified for the presidency than his 77-year-old rival...
The president’s mental competence is similarly well established. Last year, then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told allies that he “found the president sharp and substantive in their conversations,” as Politico put it. This comports with the assessment of Democratic insiders. And nothing in Biden’s public performance contradicts these reports of his private behavior...
If Biden has cause to believe he’s still a contender, he also has grounds for doubting that his exit would increase the Democrats’ odds of victory...
Just as importantly, only Harris could become the presumptive nominee ahead of the party’s convention and sail through relatively smoothly in a vote of the delegates. If Biden stepped down and endorsed Harris — imploring his delegates to vote for her — then Democrats could all begin aligning behind the party nominee before late August.
It would not be tenable for Biden to endorse anyone else. Risky as it would be for convention delegates to pass over Harris through a formal, deliberative process, it would be even more incendiary for the president to snub her unilaterally.
What’s more, as Biden’s running mate, Harris would be able to make immediate use of the president’s copious campaign funds, which currently total $130 million. As MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell has noted, no other replacement candidate would have legal access to that cash — at least, not until it passed through the Democratic National Committee’s coffers.

I, for one, wholeheartedly agree that mindless fossil should be the dem nominee.

Simple points. Biden lost Afghanistan in a disaster, got Ukraine attacked and is half way to screwing that up.
Is this a Wikipedia article on “gaslighting”?

Eric Levitz of New York magazine has written a long-ish post that is mostly about my political views, which he gets mostly wrong. This is not entirely his fault. Levitz operates under two heavy disabilities: The first is that he’s stupid, and the second is that he’s dishonest. Paul Krugman seems to have put in a lot of work in his transition from respected economist to trifling partisan rage-monkey, but Levitz seems to have been born dumber than a catfish. So it’s only his dishonesty I’ll fault him for.
“”The president’s mental competence is similarly well established””
Now that’s established -let’s move on to the author’s mental competence!
According to this fella, all it takes is years and years on the government dole and all is well! No reason to question! HA!!!!!!
They bring up an important point:
Kamala CANNOT be dumped in favor of a white guy like Newsome. Blacks would stay home at this insult.
The ONLY viable replacement for Biden is Michelle Obama, with the understanding that her husband will actually run things.
With such a mental, cognitive advantage, we should Biden to press for more than the usual 3 debates.
This stupid article’s written by a G’D turd.
When did MSN become a satire site?
Fake News pulling out all the stops for their buddy President Retard
I like to believe the United States can kick some old hostile racist lapdog that was mail ordered into the presidency and his evil puppet masters( most all just hostile idiots) but with the lack of balls from the GOP it might be realistic to see these people have a bloodlust from baby lkilling to families to the elderly and no one is standing in their way.
Except Trump and no one is releasing any Kraken, there’s no Q and no one is uniting. We’re all just watching people go to jail, signing huge bills, allowing an open border and saddling America’s last generation that smelled freedom to die of taxation and there’s 80,000 more IRS agents with guns to make sure you take the fundamental change or jail
New York Magazine Intelligencer features writer Eric Levitz responded Sunday to backlash over a post he made on whether babies were actually "beheaded" or not in Israel by Hamas terrorists, where he said it wasn't fully proven that occurred.
"According to this report," Levitz wrote in response to an investigation by an international team of forensic pathologists, "Hamas militants tied a parent and child together and then burned them alive."
"Last night, I asserted that this report indicated that babies were beheaded," Levitz wrote on Sunday. "This was an overstatement. I should have said that the report established that babies were found headless, a fact that lends plausibility to claims of beheading, but which does not prove them."
He gave a parenthetical explanation as to the exact definition of a beheading. "(The verb behead has multiple definitions, and is sometimes used to mean decapitate; the report indicates that Hamas did behead babies in that sense. But the term can also connote a form of execution using a knife, and we do not have confirmation of beheading in this sense)[.]"
So what...and who the hełł cares? The baby killers, climate clucks, the welfare horde, hoplophobes etc. will vote Rat no matter who runs. And the DNC's ballot harvesting army is in hot standby.
“The notion that Biden is less mentally fit for the presidency than Trump is extremely dubious.”
Yes sir, don’t believe your lying eyes, believe this sparkling twenty-four karat asshole.
