Joe Biden’s mental decline cannot be ignored
New York Post ^ | Feb. 7, 2024 | Post Editorial Board

It’s been obvious to many of us for a long time, but it’s now grown impossible to ignore.

Answering a question about hostage negotiations on Tuesday, a frail Biden was plainly confused and disoriented, mumbling and pausing, even unable to recall Hamas’ name: “There is some movement, and I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna … Let me choose my words: There’s some movement, there’s been a response from the, uh … There’s been a response from the opposition, but, um … ”

Then a reporter helped out: “Hamas?” Biden grabbed on: “Yes, I’m sorry, from Hamas.”

Biden’s been having “senior moments” since before he took office in 2021, and they’re getting more frequent.

On Sunday, he mixed up French President Emmanuel Macron with former prez Francois Mitterrand, who died in 1996.

At a South Carolina rally the week before, he called Donald Trump the “sitting president.”

The week before that, in North Carolina, he insisted he had “just had [his] picture taken” with Rep. Deborah Ross, then recalled: “Oh, she couldn’t be here actually. That’s not true, I got mixed up … She’s up in Washington right now.”

...

every time he’s out in public, he glitches — even when he’s got a teleprompter.

Heck, he’s routinely confused about where to go when he leaves a podium.

No wonder his staff obsessively keeps him out of the public eye (and ear).

They just turned down his best chance to connect with the public in the entire election year, period: the traditional Super Bowl interview, answering softball questions in front of the biggest possible TV audience.

If he can’t be trusted with that, with what can he be trusted?

And how bad is he behind closed doors?

Democrat Presidents are puppets anyway, so mental status is irrelevant.

Even Democrat Presidents with above average intelligence were puppets because that’s the way the Democrat party operates.

They install Presidents they believe they can control.

The one possible exception in modern times was JFK, who was as confused as any Leftist, but on occasion went rogue and thought for himself rather than let the puppet masters pull the strings. He threatened to audit the Fed. He messed with tax depreciation laws that Big Oil was massively profiting from. He threatened the MIC.

And it did not end well for him.

The Democrat puppet masters are ruthless - unless you obey their commands.

And, the optics of President Trump running against a decrepit old man. No wonder Pres. Trump is polling so high, it’s not even a fair comparison. Surely Pres. Trump’s poll numbers would be equal or lower if running against more modern Democrat candidate. With Pres. Trump being only 4 years younger they could use Sleepy Joe as an example of what to expect within Pres. Trump’s second term.

A functioning brain isn’t needed to be a democrat.

They are actually mutually exclusive.

What to do about KH? I’ve predicted this scenario for at least 18 months: SCOTUS Sotomayor will announce her retirement due to declining health; Biden will nominate KH as replacement. Then Biden will nominate either Newsom or Michelle O. as VP.

And that’s where the media will come in. The media hid Wilson’s stroke. And they hid FDR’s wheelchair. They will hide Biden’s infirmaries as well.

Might be too late. The SCOTUS term generally ends at the end of June or the beginning of July. That does not leave a lot of time, as the convention would start in just a matter of weeks (Mid-August).

My Dermatologist,a huge Trump supporter,is a faculty member at Harvard Medical School and as a result he has many friends there in many different specialties. He told me recently that a couple of Neurosurgeon friends of his have told him that The Big Guy’s obvious mental decline is often seen in patients who have undergone the brain procedures that he underwent some years ago.

That’s never been connected....till now.

In 1988, Joe Biden was experiencing neck pains and headaches. He did not know it then but soon his life would change due to aneurysms. An aneurysm is a weak spot on an artery which can lead the artery to break. In his case, the artery broke in his brain. It is a form of a stroke which has a high fatality rate.

Following a February 1988 speech in New York, Biden passed out in his hotel. He was unconscious for five hours. He later required two brain surgeries for aneurysms, one which had already broken and another which had the potential to break.

He initially had common physical effects of stroke such as a facial droop. Following 6 months of recovery, he was cleared to return to work.

Sure it can!

It’s been ignored for at least 4 years!

He’s a puppet. THAT is all they want; that is all they need.

The folks running the show from behind the curtain will NEVER allow us to elect a President who doesn’t take THEIR orders again.

And this will continue until further generations forget what the Constitution says and are used to a vague, oblique Oligarchy being “in charge”.

If they're smart they'll keep him as a stalking horse until October, at which point they can slide in Big Mike or The Haircut.

Good link—notice that the numbers have not really moved in the last ninety days despite gaffe after gaffe after gaffe.

If Biden is alive he is the nominee.

The only thing that has changed is that Biden NOW can’t remember that he is the same dumb, arrogant jerk he’s always been.
