There may have been a time when Joe Biden's mental fumbles could be blamed on his long-running penchant to commit various "gaffes." That time has long since passed, and the current situation is legitimately scary.
...
The United States of America, still the most powerful nation on Earth, is being run by a man whose mind is so gone that he talks to dead people.
...
Joe Biden confused French President Emmanuel Macron with France’s long-dead former leader Francois Mitterrand. Mitterrand died in 1996.
...
Recall that back in 2022, Biden called out for Rep. Jackie Walorski while he was giving a speech. The problem? She passed away in a car accident a month earlier. These are not the kinds of mistakes normal people make. They certainly aren't the kinds of mistakes a president, who is supposed to be on top of his game and ready to process and make decisions at a moment's notice, should be making.
Fox News' Peter Doocy pressed Karine Jean-Pierre on this latest incident, asking how the White House plans to convince voters Biden isn't too old when he keeps having these "moments." The president's press secretary didn't like that question very much, and her answer says it all.
Biden's handlers know how screwed they are. They are in a position, tied to a man who is legitimately senile, where they have no way to fix this situation. What are they supposed to do except pretend what's happening isn't happening?
Typically in politics, there are at least some things you can try. Maybe you change your messaging strategy. Maybe you do more public events to up your public image. Nothing is guranteed, but at least there are options.
Jean-Pierre has no options leading Biden's comms department. He is what he is, and he's a massive liability heading into the 2024 election. They can't hide the fact that he appears to be suffering from dementia, and saying it's a "rabbit hole" to discuss the issue, is an admission in and of itself. Jean-Pierre knows it's a losing issue.
..
I keep thinking to myself, "No way do they actually nominate this guy at the convention," but what choice do they have? It's February and the DNC essentially rigged the primary to ensure Biden wouldn't face a real challenge. If they boot him now, then they are stuck with promoting Kamala Harris, who might be even worse in the eyes of voters. High-level Democrat leaders should have had a heart-to-heart with the president last summer, insisting that he not run for a second term.
Of course, that assumes Biden, a man who sees himself as a legendary statesman instead of the awkward joke everyone else sees, would even have listened. He seems deadset on going down with the ship, and if that's the result, it's all the better.
The irresponsibility of the DNC and the Bidens, Jill and Joe, is coming to full fruition, and putting the nation itself at risk.
Peter Doocy would have been sent to the Penalty Box by Karina, a long time ago, if his dad wasn’t a well known, highly regarded TV Host.
One of these days, she’s going to lose it, and throw her wig at Pete, bobbypins and all!
We knew he was going senile when Obama infested the White House.
How will he get through the State of the Union address next month? They probably won’t try to have him point out and talk about people in the gallery, heh. Dangerous.
He’ll snort some of his kid’s coke
Unfortunately.
Apparently the WH has changed the name to Macron in the transcript pretending that Joe never said Mitterrand...
They are going to drug him up so much for these things I’m convinced he’s going to overdose.
cant wait until he appoints his horse to the senate
and marries a castrated boy
so much to look forward to
Well, what did she say?
“They are going to drug him up so much for these things I’m convinced he’s going to overdose”
Can you imagine the confusion of this demented fool when all of the Rat glad handing tools are cheering him on coming in and out of the State of the Union address? He will probably say after the event he hasn’t felt so appreciated since his NYC ticker tape Parade after his 1927 solo flight across the Atlantic.
Depends on which "Biden" they use.

President Trump: "I don't know if it's really him." (12-10-23)
So, WHAT was her answer?
Fox News’ Peter Doocy pressed Karine Jean-Pierre on this latest incident, asking how the White House plans to convince voters Biden isn’t too old when he keeps having these “moments.” The president’s press secretary didn’t like that question very much, and her answer says it all.
********
Well, what did she say? The writer didn’t put that down. I didn’t see the press secretary’s latest.
lol, saw what you did there!
KJP: “I’m not even gonna go down that rabbit hole with you sir”
“The president’s press secretary didn’t like that question very much, and her answer says it all.............”
“Well, what did she say?”
Something to the effect “I’m not going down that rabbit hole” (peter) “you saw him in South Carolina blah blah blah......” I think she was trying to insinuate he wasn’t totally out of it at some of these other appearances. I’m sure there is tape to counter her argument.
