Ha.
“It all looked so real.”
He loves to lean on his Pop Corn stories.
Ha.
He doesn’t even need a DeLorean.
Its the Sleepy Joe post debate victory tour and to prove he’s 100% cogent following a bed debate night. DOH..... Its not like he quit drinking and dedicates himself to sobriety. Trying to rebound from dementia issues by force of will is a different sort of animal.
“...they have nothing unless they threaten to invoke the 25th on Joe.”
Do you think Kamala and half the Cabinet are willing to risk abject failure if they’re not 100% sure they’ve got the votes to make it stick? And they don’t have the votes. Even if every dem is on board, they’d be staking their futures on Republican votes in both Houses to make it happen.
And when it fails, do you think Kamala will Biden’s pick for VP?
The interview with Suckitupolous must have happened already (probably this morning) Biden is still shadowboxing, so that would seem to mean he didn’t offer to resign.
How long is the edited interview going to be?
Maybe he thinks its 1988 and he is running against Bush?
Then they have nothing.
I’m still wondering what he meant by, “We beat Medicare”.
But, but, it’s not 4 PM, yet!
Then they have nothing.
They can explain that if he insists on staying in the race he will lose so badly to Trump that the loss will take democrats down down-ballot in such numbers that Republicans will not just control the House and Senate but by large majorities. Not to say the havoc wreaked on state governments.
And he, his wife, and drug-addled son will be blamed, not just by the public, but by the democrat party as well. He will not live to see his reputation rehabilitated in some far-future date. He will be the Herbert Hoover of the democrat party for decades. (I am aware the Hoover was a much better man, but you get my point). Do you want that to be your legacy, Joe? Really?
Ah, but if you come out and bravely tell America and the world that you realize that you no longer can effectively fulfill the duties of the office that America has honored you with, and you are withdrawing from the race ‘for the good of America and my family’, then we dems and our allies in the press will go all out to honor your rightful place in history. We will see to it that America forgets all of the mistakes, blunders and catastrophes you’ve been a part of in your half-century of ‘service’ to America.
You’ll be declared a selfless hero! What do you think, Joe? Like how that sounds?
If that was one slip within general competence, it would be meaningless. But since he opened his kimono at the debate, it’s one more brick in the wall.
Foreign Leaders Are Worried About Biden’s Decline

AMERICAN PRESIDENTS ARE charged with more than just overseeing the domestic governance of the United States. They also represent the world’s most influential government on the international stage. In the aftermath of last week’s disastrous debate performance, world leaders are expressing concerns about President Joe Biden’s declining health, and his ability to serve out another four-year term in a time of international turmoil.
According to a Friday report from The Washington Post, anxiety among prominent foreign heads of state was rising before Biden’s debate against Donald Trump. In June, Biden attended the annual Group of Seven (G7) summit in Italy. Several sources who discussed Biden’s appearance at the summit directly with European leaders told the Post that Biden’s counterparts were struck by how diminished, both physically and mentally, the president appeared. Three people indicated that Biden struggled to keep his train of thought, and one participant said Biden had to be asked to speak up during discussions repeatedly.
Biden also skipped a private dinner party with world leaders — one where heads of state typically engage in discussions and negotiations away from the prying eyes of the press. While European leaders may have raised eyebrows during their interactions with Biden at the G7, the debate threw his diminished state into a new light.
“What has changed the discourse here in Europe is not the G-7. It’s the debate,” one person familiar with discussions between the G7 leaders told the Post. “Leaders were dismayed by Biden’s performance — they told themselves they should have realized at the G-7 … and came to the conclusion that he cannot win in November.”
Ian Bremmer, president of the Eurasia Group, told the Post that world leaders expressed concerns including that they “don’t see him being able to run the country for four more years. How are you running this guy for four more years? How are you going to win this election?” “It’s very, very rare in a democracy that the person you run for an election is someone that you all know can’t lead the country for four more years,” Bremmer added.
Last week, The Wall Street Journal published similar statements from people familiar with the G7’s attendees’ concerns in the immediate aftermath of the debate. Two senior European officials told the Journal that Biden had struggled to keep up with discussions and manage his talking points at an October European Union-U.S. meeting in D.C. Nathalie Tocci, director of the Institute of International Affairs, told the Journal that the debate was seen as an “unmitigated disaster” by European leaders. “It’s something that has been known, always, that his age is his main Achilles’ heel,” she said.
The scrutiny won’t stop anytime soon. Next week, dozens of heads of state are expected to converge in Washington, D.C., for a three-day NATO summit. In anticipation, the White House is working to deflect concerns over Biden’s health and faculties by redirecting the conversation towards the threat posed by Trump.

Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Va) is attempting to assemble a group of Democratic senators to ask President Biden to exit the presidential race, according to two people with direct knowledge of the effort.
Warner is telling Democratic senators that Biden can no longer remain in the election in the wake of his faltering debate performance, according to the people familiar with private conversations who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak freely. Warner has told others that he is deeply concerned that Biden is not able to run a campaign that could beat former president Donald Trump.

President Biden, who at 81 is the oldest person ever to hold the office, has displayed signs of accelerated aging in recent months, said numerous aides, foreign officials, members of Congress, donors and others who have interacted with Biden over the last 3½ years, noting that he moves more slowly, speaks more softly and has moments when he loses his train of thought more often than even just a year ago.

It wont be long now until “MP’s...guard the President! Mr. President. You have the right to remain silent....”
Quote from article:
“his age is his main Achilles’ heel”
Nope.
It is dementia, not age.
“Age” muddies the waters.
