There will be no reckoning among Democrats and their media lapdogs regarding their years-long effort to hide President Biden’s mental decline. No one will lose their job, precisely because they were doing their job – spinning false narratives to keep the left in power.
And, let there be no doubt, they will keep doing it. The current focus on Biden’s unfitness will last only until Democrats determine whether or not they can force him out. That effort won’t be easy. Biden is an empty suit with a boundless ego – he truly believes he is a modern-day FDR. Withdrawing because you’re not “all there” would be deeply humiliating.
If it becomes clear Joe won’t go, the party and its propaganda outlets will quickly pivot. Discussions of his physical and mental capacities will be shoved down the memory hole. His continuing gaffes and incoherence will be largely ignored, cast as boring facts that are already “baked in the cake”: Voters know about his limits so what’s the point of harping on them? Late night comics such as Steven Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel will probably try to make his ramblings kind of lovable – Joe says the darndest things. If Biden bows out, his replacement will be cast as the second coming of well, Jesus Christ, offering a path to salvation for an imperiled land.
Whether the candidate is Joe Biden or someone else, the goal will be to make the Democrat standard-bearer disappear from the race. When he or she is mentioned at all, it will be to cast the Biden administration’s unpopular record as one of high achievement. Look at all that the president and the Democrats have accomplished for the American people.
News coverage, instead, will seek to make the contest about Donald Trump’s fitness for office.

Will democRAT voters forget how the media misled them? My guess is that they will forget and fall right in line. They don’t think for themselves and they won’t leave the cult. Their whole belief system would have to be disowned.
Yep, Dems are all in, circling the wagons around their demented candidate hoping not too many people notices and that their media can do some damage control.
Bidog is still smarter than the average Democrat
Following in their dear leader’s footsteps.
This could all change with another poor performance, at NATO or elsewhere. Dems in Congress don’t want to go down with him.
The problem is that dementia just gets worse and worse and worse.
Imho the insiders/controllers “get it” and do not want to risk the future Biden freezes and lapses they cannot control.
Their attitude is “why take a chance”.
If he won’t go quietly the Deep State will kill him—a stroke or heart attack of a fragile guy like Biden is child’s play to them.
I guarantee they already have moles in the WH kitchen, on the WH staff and in the Secret Service.
After the deed is done then the media can keep busy covering it up blaming it on his fragility and old age.
Anyone who tries to investigate will be deemed a “conspiracy theory kook”—even on FR.
JOE BIDEN IS NOT STUPID.
JOE BIDEN IS SENILE.
THE PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR HIM ARE THE STUPID ONES.
Joe Biden is an evil old man who poops in his pants and barely recognizing anyone.
He babbles and drools making madame VP word salad seem coherent.
Jill Biden and the Democrats don’t care about Joe, or the country, they care about power. The power to ruin your life.

As it has been said:
The BAD news is, he's worse today than he was yesterday.
The GOOD news is, he's better today than he will be tomorrow.
“he truly believes he is a modern-day FDR.”
IMHO, that fantasy will grow the worse his condition becomes.
The WSJ detailed Biden’s “aggressive stage-management”
to cover-up his mental and physical decline, including:
<><>micromanaging all of his public appearances,
<><>blocking him from impromptu remarks with reporters,
<><>declining interviews at the last two Super Bowls,
<><>limiting his travel
<><>acknowledging his lack of stamina,
<><>creating barriers to shield him from the public
<><>blocking reporters from asking Biden questions,
<><>calculatedly blasting music to drown out reporter’s questions.
How can they possibly put him back in another debate as the nominee with no excuses of a cold or travel ?
well said
“the dog ate my homework” and “the sun was in my eyes”
are still available
They can’t. They are counting on Trump being in jail by September.
Biden is gone. Its just a matter of the time and method of his departure.
The problem is the second debate.
What about “Shiny objects distracted me and I voted for Buchanan”?
Especially since Kennedy will also likely be included. I just don’t see the delegates signing off on this and rolling over for Trump.
