Joe Biden Was Unfit in 2020
Wall Street Journal ^ | May 18, 2025 | Barton Swain

Posted on 05/25/2025 9:04:18 AM PDT by karpov

It is painful but also amusing to watch high-ranking Democrats and media personalities struggle to find culprits for their loss in 2024. Everybody but the Biden family agrees that the fault is Joe Biden’s for insisting that he possessed sufficient mental acuity and physical strength to seek and serve a second term. But did staffers hide the truth from the world? Did Democratic VIPs on Capitol Hill and elsewhere owe it to the country to say openly that they couldn’t support Mr. Biden’s re-election effort?

The answer to both questions is yes, and some key figures in the administration had a duty, when they realized the extent of the president’s senility, to resign in protest. Resignations are easier to effect in parliamentary systems, in which the member stepping down gets to keep his seat, but they aren’t impossible in America. It wasn’t too much to ask that two or three high-profile Biden officials resign, explain to the public why they could no longer serve in good conscience, and take sinecures at Princeton or Harvard.

What’s amusing is that the only people deceived from 2020 through 2024 were the deceivers. Someone (I forget who) fairly likened the “coverup” to the scene in “The Naked Gun” in which Lt. Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) stands in front of a burning fireworks store, its wares exploding in the sky, and tells a crowd of goggling onlookers, “Move on, nothing to see here!”

The argument in the press about when it became clear that Mr. Biden wasn’t up to the job—was it 2023? as early as 2021?—also makes me laugh. I witnessed Mr. Biden’s frailty during the 2020 primary and wrote about it. I was covering the dueling campaigns of Tom Steyer and Mr. Biden.

A million Ukrainians are dead because we had a braindead Joe Biden as president. Trump would have talked to Putin — but there was “no one home” at the White House at that time. I hope you misguided liberals are happy. Gives you more things to feel virtuous about.

The turning point was of course the 2024 debate between Biden and Trump. But now let’s suppose Jill Biden had stepped in and had forbidden the debate. The excuse? “Joe will not debate a convicted felon.” (Or some such thing.)

Given Biden’s name recognition, his media support, and the D cheat machine… Biden well could be president today.

How that for a scary thought?

Jill Biden should be charged with elder abuse. She led him around like a child. “You answered all the questions!”, she crowed, as if speaking to a five year old! World leaders having to physically rein him in, when he wandered off! Outrageous! But he got back at them, intentionally or not, when he backed out of the race and endorsed an unelectable Kamala Harris for President; and there wasn’t a darned thing they could do about it! Serves them right for foisting an incompetent, vile President on us, and then trying to do it again. Thank GOD Trump won!

Millions of conservatives have been screaming this since 2020. It was OBVIOUS the election was stolen. A vattle cry in the coming civil war will be "REMEMBER 2020!!!".

Yes, WSJ, Biden was unfit for 2020. There is not one staffer, owner, subscriber nor reader of your Trump trashing rag of a pretend newspaper who was no aware that Biden was unfit for 2020.

The same number is aware that Biden and his team, stole the 2020.

I’m not buying your feigned surprise Report the real issue.

The Marine guards at the Bagram airbase are dead because of the Obama run Biden regime as well - countless more

I still don’t think biden would have won, Lara Trump and her crew sufficiently damaged the dem cheat machine. Had she been running things in 2020 instead of ronna romney, I doubt biden would have won then either

Duh.

In the POTATUS they got the perfect stooge.

I rather suspect my liberal in-laws are still happy about it. A Million Dead ukrainians was a fair price to keep Donald Trump out of the White House

I am making the assumption based on past experience. I quit communicating with them after the 2020 election. If you want to call it an election

Democrats and 'the press' didn't care if Biden wasn't qualified, or if he would destroy the country, or if he would push the button and start world War III or sell the country out for diamonds and cash for 'his family'.

They had one standard: was he a democrat. Democrats and their butt boys in the press knew Biden wasn't a Republican and that's all that mattered.

Democrat hatred of traditional Americans, Native American Indians, hardworking Hispanics, loving Asian American parents, sexually straight citizens etc is bottomless. Democrats and the press would have backed AND lied for Biden if he had been a serial killer, drug addict, pedophile, and anti-Semite.

They're hatred for us is bottomless.

Lyin’ Joe Biden the grifting pedophile has been intellectually, morally and erhically unfit for his entire adult life.

The whole world knew Joe Biden was incapable of running the country. Who was running the country?
