Majority says Biden is out of it, aides are doing his job
The Washington Examiner ^ | August 20, 2021 | by Paul Bedard

Preelection concerns that President Joe Biden wasn’t physically or mentally up for his new job at age 78, the oldest-ever chief executive, are now settling in as the public sees him slow-walking, refusing to consider questions at press conferences, and seemingly befuddled with the crisis in Afghanistan.

Not only has his average approval rating fallen below 50%, the lowest of his presidency, but a new survey has found that in addition to likely voters believing that Biden is not all there, they believe that aides are doing his job.

In the survey, Rasmussen Reports said 52% of respondents said they are not confident that Biden is physically or mentally “up to the job of being president of the United States.” And 41% of respondents said they are “not confident at all.”

Another 46% said they are confident in Biden.

Women, men, white people, Republicans, and middle-aged to elderly voters lack confidence in Biden, according to the survey.

The survey outlet also asked, “Is Joe Biden really doing the job of president, or are others making the decisions for him behind the scenes?”

Again, a slight majority, 51%, said others are doing his work, while 39% said Biden is in charge, down from 47% in March.

the thing with this survey shapes opinion.

How many agree that Biden is a completely corrupted sock puppet and the real thing happening is the US is being taken over by marxists/communists.

that’s the real question.

Does anyone know as a dementia patient gets further along, does stress play a prominent role in spikes of behavior? For instance, with all of the recent Afghanistan stuff, I wonder if his dementia was pushed further along due to stress. PotUS is not the easiest job in the world from a stress perspective.

I wonder if this sort of situation would have taken place with a Hillary presidency. Chelsea and Huma would have been likely running the day to day operations of that administration and if a crisis like Afghanistan were to take place, INGSOC media would create a narrative to deflect the attention away.

It's like they never planned to get anyone out. They only talked to one country and only that country is taking Afghanistan refugees. They do not know how many Americans are there. This is getting worse everyday.

Biden: “My age has unexpectedly caught up with me”
Harris: “I’m not quite ready to be President”
Pelosi: “I am now in control and President”

50% chance this is what is coming.

That is exactly what I was thinking.

But I have been glad to see DJT come out in the past few days with a few things to say about this whole Afghanistan situation. And his timing is excellent with even CNN questioning the quality of leadership in the White House.

Dementia patients become more easily agitated as it progresses. They become irrational and want to do crazy things that endanger their health and lives. They start to fall and have accidents.

The only way Pelosi becomes President is if both are taken out at the same time. Harris becomes President per the line off succession. If she resigns before or after taking the oath of office befor a VP is selected, then Pelosi ascends to the Presidency.

Overall, a lousy situation.

You wouldn’t let Joe drive a car anymore in his condition much less hold down a job.

Kammie photo....

I take no responsibility. I never even heard of the place myself. That’s the President’s total responsibility.

Neither the Republican Party leadership nor the majority of Americans believes that.

Most Americans think that as soon as we get over Covid-19, things will gradually return to Pre-Covid "normal." Things were great in the last century, so they'll be even greater in the next. Nothing to worry about. Everything will be fine. We're in good hands with U.S. "President" Sleepy Joe ...
