JOE ON THE ROPES? (UPDATED)
Powerline ^ | AUGUST 21, 2021 | BY STEVEN HAYWARD I

Posted on 08/21/2021 3:45:24 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Finally President Biden submitted to an interview with George Stephanopoulos that went disastrously, and then . . . he headed to his Delaware home, where he remains at present. Why not back to Camp David?

I have a theory: one thing we know about treating people suffering cognitive decline is that familiar surroundings help them cope. Is this the reason for hunkering down at his Delaware home?

Yesterday I heard some startling numbers: at this point in his first year in office, President Trump had given more than 50 interviews to the media. At this same point in 2009, Obama had given more than 100 media interviews. Biden up to this point: Eight. This is not normal, even with the excuse of COVID. It’s even more noteworthy in a person who has been as famously loquacious as Biden in his 49 years in Washington.

Something is seriously wrong here, and while there is some vigorous media criticism of Biden over the Afghan disaster, the media is committing its usual malpractice and pro-Dem bias in not making a bigger fuss about the inaccessibility of the president, not to mention pressing legitimate questions about his mental capacities.

UPDATE: Biden has cancelled his visit to his Delaware home this weekend (“postponed” is the official word). The same questions about his capacities still apply.

Do you think Joe is even capable of making his idiotic, snarky comment about Dunkin’ Donuts, 7-11, and having a “slight Indian accent?” Talk about setting a low bar.

Joe has just about ran his course. I’ll bet Kamala is licking her lips waiting to become the first Cackling President of the US.

Remember how hysterical the media was over the manufactured concerns about Trump ‘s mental state? I would like to ask them why they aren’t concerned about Biden.

Just think - without Mr. Trump running in 2016, 'Hillary!' would have been the first Cackling President of the US.

This may be a little out of context...A song for an American Christmas (I’ll start it off to the tune of “Joy To The World”-

Joe to the world:
“I crapped my pants
It’s running down my leg!

That’s why you see me quint like that
Like some kind of aristocrat”...

Yep both my recently passed Step Mother whom died from dementia and my Brother in-law all think they need to leave and go home. In my Step Mother’s case she had been in the same house for 20 years but still needed to go home, not that she knew where it that was.

“Something is seriously wrong here”

Understatement of the century.

as long as we’re looking for Biden Admin theme songs:
Stonewall Jackson

Waterloo, Waterloo
Where will you meet your Waterloo?
Every puppy has its day, everybody has to pay
Everybody has to meet his Waterloo

Now, old Adam was the first in history
With an apple he was tempted and deceived
Just for spite the devil made him take a bite
And that’s where old Adam met his Waterloo

Waterloo, Waterloo
Where will you meet your Waterloo?
Every puppy has its day, everybody has to pay
Everybody has to meet his Waterloo

Little General Napoleon of France
Tried to conquer the world, but lost his pants
Met defeat known as Bonaparte’s retreat
And that’s when Napoleon met his Waterloo

Waterloo, Waterloo
Where will you meet your Waterloo?
Every puppy has its day, everybody has to pay
Everybody has to meet his Waterloo

Now, a feller whose darling proved untrue
Took her life, but he lost his too
Now he swings where the little birdie sings
And that’s where Tom Dooley met his Waterloo

Waterloo, Waterloo
Where will you meet your Waterloo?
Every puppy has its day, everybody has to pay
Everybody has to meet his Waterloo
