An obvious truth hidden in plain sight is suddenly common knowledge: At 81, Joe Biden is old — and losing it.
Apparently we needed an epically disastrous debate performance, an op-ed from George Clooney and Biden mixing up Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky with Putin, along with referring to Donald Trump as his Vice President at the NATO summit yesterday, for permission to believe our own eyes.
I’ve long had concerns about the president’s fitness to run the country, but the debate at the end of June was even worse than I expected. Of course, his 78-year-old opponent is no spring chicken either, but it’s no exaggeration to say the contrast between the candidates’ sharpness was as stark as night and day.
But what was most shocking to me is how many other people were shocked by the performance — as if they’re only just now realizing that the president isn’t as sharp as he used to be.
I have many friends on the left, and I was floored to see how many of my smart, inquisitive, well-informed peers didn’t see Biden’s blunders coming. Where have they been — burying their heads in the sand?
Since the debate, the Overton window shifted. All of a sudden it’s okay to point out a very elderly doddering man is in charge of our country.
Multiple New York Times editorials have called on Joe Biden to step down. Democratic members of Congress have demanded the same. Even George Clooney, a long time donor and supporter of Biden, pleaded with the President to step aside in a Wednesday op-ed.
I’ll give them credit for finally calling a spade a spade. But the spontaneous narrative shift is eyeroll-inspiring.

It’s like tempered glass, one crack and it shatters into gravel.
I was not gaslit about his age. That was always truthfully reported.
I was gaslit about his mental condition. They did not however fool me.
Obiden’s age is not a problem. His dementia is.
My dear mother phased into dementia and passed away after about 5 years. She was a fantastic and wonderful person... Joe Biden never was.
No. The problem with this criminal is his criminal history, including pedophilia. Also, there is his treasonous election theft.
That, too, of course, but the dementia is the disability that differentiates him from the general run of Democrats. They are all now bent on destruction and their lack of any concept of God makes them all subject to paedophilia and other corruption. if there is no God, no required moral framework then all is permitted for the goal of power and power which equals wealth, is the only rational goal.
