After Taking Another Day Off The Campaign Trail, It’s Time To Ask If Joe Biden Is OK
The Federalist ^ | September 22, 2020 | David Marcus

Posted on 09/22/2020 1:38:01 PM PDT by karpov

Tuesday morning before 9 a.m., the Biden campaign announced it was putting a lid on the day. For those unfamiliar with this lingo it means that Biden will have no events or appearances for the rest of the day.

This is a Tuesday, just 42 days away from an election that by all accounts seems to be tightening, especially in key battleground states. To basically take the day off in the midst of a heated campaign is strange, even more so because he has done this several times in the past few weeks. It is becoming impossible not to wonder if Biden really is fit to campaign, and by extension, be president of the United States.

Personally, I detest the politics of mental or physical decline. I didn’t like the attacks made on Hillary Clinton’s health in 2016, or the ridiculous assertions that Trump has had anything from a stroke to dementia. For most of the past few months when I did interviews and the subject of Biden’s well being came up I just sloughed it off, making it clear it wasn’t something I wanted to discuss because I had no way of assessing it. That is starting to change.

The fair thing to do here is to look first at the Biden campaign’s own explanation for all these days off. It basically boils down to “this is our plan and we know what we are doing.” Fair enough. They clearly think Biden does better in controlled environments, because he does and they do still lead in the polls, even if Biden is leading from the basement.

However, in the days before the Democratic National Convention last month Biden finally escaped the basement and seemed to be revving up his engine for more conventional campaigning.

I suspect he takes days off for “therapy”. That would be drug cocktails meant to revive, energize and make old Joe coherent.

I notice he didn’t even address the Supreme Court issue yesterday in his so-called campaign appearance. It was also funny to note he wore a mask in an empty room. Something is going on with him.

Even Hillary wasn’t nearly this sheltered 4 years ago, and we were all questioning her fitness for duty.

Word is going to leak out what’s really going on with Joe.
There are usually a few ‘disgruntled ex-employees’ willing to talk to whoever wants to listen as a form of Payback.

Scott Adams said on his podcast today that Joe looked REALLY SICK in his latest interview — on ZOOM, in a room alone, and still had a mask on.

What’s with that? Alone? Mask still on?

Does Joe Biden have Coronavirus?

Is staff preparing to announce that he DOES (even if not true)?

Hey, David, look at the timing of this. Any debates are supposed to start next week.

Guess what? Now they’ll tell us that Hiden has CoVid. Won’t be a surprise. And a gracious way to bow out of the debates.

The truth is, Hiden can’t cut it. We all know what’s really going on. He can’t handle the job. That’s why this will be a Harris/Biden administration.

Is this now the Roman Empire? Should we all start wearing togas and attending gladiator tournaments?

How is it that the world's superpower:

1. Allows looters and rioters to run rampant
2. Continues to encourage protests which are just covers for looting, rioting, vandalism, and anarchy
3. Acts more cowardly with regard to COVID than a minor power like Sweden
4. Has someone running for the presidency that is clearly demented
5. Is populated by citizens who are OK with all the insanity so long as the stores remain open and the stock market is doing OK

I won't even try to imagine what the situation would be like if someone other than Trump was President. A spineless liberal, cowed conservative, activist progressive, or corrupt harridan would have been the end of us... the end of the US.

If they cancel the presidential debates and still go ahead with the vice-presidential debate, then maybe they can add an AG debate.

I would love to see Barr eviscerate Holder.

Couldn’t Biden claim to be taking a day off the campaign trial for debate preparation? It could even be true.

Better get that Prevagen pump in place before the debates, Joe.

WRONG Question to ask, the Right Question to ask is:

Why isn’t Jill Biden being Investigated for SENIOR ABUSE???

Exploiting an elderly person that has severely diminished Mental Capacity is ABUSE!!
