It was like something out of a Tom Wolfe novel, or worthy of Marie Antionette’s “let them eat cake!” contempt for the common folk that precipitated the French Revolution.
In Minute One of the presidential debate Thursday night, the Democratic party and the entire class of mainstream media sycophants and pundits were exposed as conspirators in a “Big Lie” – the gaslighting of the American public that President Biden was not only mentally fit but better and wiser than ever for a second term when they knew that was false.
Pres. Biden’s performance at the debate this past week was sleepy, bumble-filled and perhaps deadly to his re-election campaign. AP
The burning question is what drove this self-delusion and the betrayal of the public.
Was it lobotomized groupthink?
Craven careerism and self-dealing that made them believe they could hold on to power and run the country like some sort of collective-ventriloquist?
A form of narcissism by family Biden who long craved this kind of power and would fight anything — including reality — that threatened to take it away?
In March of 2023, I wrote a column for The Wall Street Journal arguing that Biden had no business running for a second term because, among other reasons, of his mental capacity.
The plainly evident canary in the coal mine was September 2021, when Biden didn’t seem to have any clue that his senior military advisors opposed his total withdrawal from Afghanistan (they supported a smaller contingent to stabilize the civilian government and prevent the return of Al Qaeda there).

His whole administration is built on lies.
Nope, it reveals an entire political party built on lies.
All RATS do is lie and deny, and when they’re caught lying and denying, they lie and deny even more.
People are afraid to tell the truth. They’ll lose their careers.
Four years in Biden’s America reminds me of “Weekend at Bernies.” They knew his mind was slipping 2019. Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt.
The Big Guy’s entire life has been based on lies...starting long before his having stolen a speech from Neil Kinnock...a British politician from years ago.
It reminds me more of Lord of the Flies.
Are there TWO Julian Epsteins???? The one I’ve seen around for 25 years is a SMARMY LIAR.
ALL RATS LIE, RUIN AND DESTROY ANYTHING THEY ARE IN CHARGE OF!!
Julian must have red pilled somewhere along the way. He used to be a great spinner for the Dems.
He is a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR!
The rats say “all Trump did was lie” but that don't mention one thing they say is a lie. (The closest I'd when Trump mentioned last term abortions, but the pubs countered with a video says with Gov Northam that describes just that)
Ask Joe Biden for a lie that Trump told. I saw a Dem congressman on TV talking about “Trump's lies”. Where is the follow up: “Can you tell us what lies those were?”
The response will be “Oh, there were so many lies. I can't begin to start naming them.”
Follow up and demand examples. Debunk those to their faces.
Knocking down this Dem shibboleth will go a long way to taking the air out of their tires.
Spare us their newfound clutching of pearls over Sleepy’s cognizant shortcomings. It’s been evident for years now but it takes a national televised debate for them to admit it? Yeah right. Only the low info voters might have been surprised.
FTA
They put a clearly diminished Biden on the public stage to debate a superior opponent.
The burning question now is what drove this self-delusion and betrayal of the public.

As far back as September 2021, Biden didn’t seem to have a clue that his senior military advisors opposed his total withdrawal from Afghanistan (they supported a smaller contingent to stabilize the civilian government and prevent the return of Al Qaeda there).
The diminished Biden’s disastrous Afghan withdrawal is now the stuff of legends.
Trump haters don’t care about anything, but hating Trump.
If Trump had been debating a zoo animal named “President Orangutan” last Thursday, the spin & the hate would be the same.
My point is, these people will vote for an incompetent candidate over a more talented candidate.
Their fragile egos are more important than what’s best for our nation.
Following the link, the article is pretty hard-hitting and critical of the Biden, the Democratic party and our elites. He points out that the disastrous pullout in Afghanistan was all on demented Joe. The author still hopes the Dems can turn it around. He’s a Democrat himself.
I say the Democratic party should be destroyed now and forever. Just learn and say the truth. Democrats blame America for the sins of Democrats. The slavery party, the party that segregated the races in America, the Trail of Tears party, the party of ill-conceived wars and American deaths ...
Yes, it does.
I’ve asked a few people now - given the opportunity - whether they’re mad that biden won’t be the candidate in Nov; none of them ‘got it,’ true pandemic & all.
This was prior to last Thursday.
I would hope that they are NOW mad, but the evidence asserts the contrary:
All the left seems to care about is preventing a 2nd term for President Trump.
They don’t care who or how...
Julian Epstein is an interesting man. He helped behind the scenes during the Clinton impeachment -— “Julian Epstein is a dashing bachelor, a hip-hop aficionado who drives a soft-top Jeep Sahara and lives in an Adams-Morgan loft he designed himself.” -—https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/staffers102298.htm
I saw him for 1st time in years on Fox today or yesterday & he was very reasonable. Here he is on Fox from two weeks ago, saying Trump had unfair trial & it will be reversed on appeal -— https://youtu.be/9hGDZcnsfuU?si=R_FYQ_Gq-2DV3_PY
“The Big Guy’s entire life has been based on lies...”
Exactly. He’s like Biff Loman in Death of a Salesman.
