It seems like every writer and their dog has already published their take on the Wall Street Journal's bombshell report on Presidentish Joe Biden's decline, but seemingly lost in the hubbub over the White House coverup is one big question.
Why the hell didn't they ditch Biden two or three years ago?
The obvious answer is that his replacement would have been Kamala Harris, who my friend Stephen Kruiser and I have joked on many occasions got the veep nod from Biden as an insurance policy against getting 25th'd out of office.
But given what we know they knew about the rapidity and depth of Biden's decline, what would have been the harm for the Obama cabal in replacing one malleable figurehead with another?
Palace intrigue aside, let me show you a couple of items from that WSJ report that PJ's own Matt Margolis didn't get to in his excellent write-up earlier today. Matt covered how the White House protected Biden and tried to hide his decline from the press and even Democrat donors. But to me, the worst part of the scandal is how they protected Biden from facts.
"Former administration officials said it often didn’t seem like Biden had his finger on the pulse," the Journal reported. The story also indicated that Biden didn't see polls showing him losing to Donald Trump and that Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) demanded to speak to Biden directly — something becoming less and less frequent as advisors took more control — "hoping to pierce what the senators saw as a wall erected by [senior advisor Mike] Donilon to shield Biden from bad information."

You’re correct. It’s all about maintaining power and control. The nation be damned, they needed to make sure they were steering the ship.
Holed up like a crotchety old Howard Hughes with a family set of familiars.
A nightmare
The Dems intentionally made the Potato POTUS with The Steal.
Second, on or about the Summer of 2022 they may have attempted to take out Heels Up Harris when reported (FR thread(s) that Heel Up may have Havana Syndrome. Then the story dropped from the news cycle as ordered and never updated.
Wonder who would have replaced Heels Up?
Anyone?
Beuller?
Simple. Probably half the country doesn’t know that Joe is slow. To reveal that would hurt the rats.
Te machine said so.
I expect old Joe will be in a nursing home memory care facilty before the end of next year.
That’s right.
I’d say they deserve to hurt badly, at the polls and ballot boxes of course.
Everyone involved in orchestrating this charade is directly guilty of treason, illegal taking control of a nation per our constitution.
That is literally and legally absolutely true. Unfortunately won't be treated as such, not even by a MAGA DOJ. They should, however, consider it seriously - Dr. Jill and Biden's immediate staff especially should be charged with treason and prosecuted.
He served his masters well.
He was a useful, pliant tool.
No one throws away a useful tool for one of questionable utility.
Four years at Robinette’s Corvette. There will be a movie made about this. Hunter will become an even more intense crackhead.
Absolutely and people need to go to jail. We know that will never happen but in a just and lawful society it would.
Odds on him pre-deceasing Carter?
Biden is only in office for another 30 days. Whatever his condition may be, he’ll serve those out.
This isn’t much different than the claims about Reagan during his second term. He confirmed them not long after leaving office, but many of us here remember the claims about him leading us into war with his dementia.
Neither Reagan nor Biden are likely to be impaired as much as the opposing sides claim/claimed.
