The White House has reportedly grown weary of videos that appear to show President Joe Biden experiencing a cognitive decline and right-leaning media reporting on them.
A report from the Daily Beast attempted to debunk a series of clips that appeared to show the president experiencing cognitive decline, saying they were either misrepresented or deceptively edited. The outlet did not address the fact that the president has exhibited public gaffes and memory lapses for several months now. From the report:
In a statement to The Daily Beast, the White House fumed at the so-called “cheap fake,” which it contends is a sign of failing journalistic ethics at a number of conservative publications.
The practice of deceptively editing and circulating clips of political opponents is increasingly being used in recent weeks by Republican lawmakers and conservative publications, especially to highlight problems relating to Biden’s age.

AW...that’s rich...the left accusing the right of deceptive editing??? Of course they would never sink so low to do anything deceptive, like: run a government based operation to frame Trump for Russian collusion, or to say that Hunter’s laptop was likely Russian disinformation operation. Oh no, the left is so honorable and trustworthy.
Alleged? My ass.
Yes, the videos can be edited to exaggerate Biden’s confusion and some, no doubt, have been. But then the WH edited out the word ‘pause’ when Biden said “Four more years! Pause” in its official transcript of his speech.
And yesterday I saw one dem complain that the ‘bar is set too high for Biden’s debate performance. That he’ll be expected to be perfect and that the media will ignore Trump’s obvious confusion and inability to speak in complete sentences.
Anyone with eyes to see, ears to hear, or a brain to think realizes that Biden has clearly lost whatever cognitive abilities he ever possessed, but we’re being told that what we see, hear, and think just isn’t so. The emperor, in fact, has no clothes.
Here’s the un-asked question.
How much worse is he in private, and how long has he been that way?
Because if the Republicans 25th Amendment him out of office, that means he was mentally unfit to perform his constitutional duties. Which necessarily raises the question, exactly when did he lose his marbles? And what decisions did he take that potentially were affected by his impairment? Because just like FDR’s lameness, the demoncrats have been jumping through hoops to hide OBiden’s metal collapse all along.
Which raises the possibility that a significant number of his decisions since being sworn in could be vacated due to him being “non compos mentis.”
Demorats WANT the public to see Bidens decline so that everyone will understand fully when they make the switch to someone else as their candidate...and accept it.
They will put Biden out there for the debate so everyone can see up close how much he’s declined and support their decision to replace him with another candidate...who is waiting on the sidelines
There is no “decline”.
The guy was a dumpster fire years ago—no change today.
Last night Mark Levin was reading something about the seven stages of dementia. He thought Biden was now at stage 5.
Zeepers hardest hit.
“I saw a “broadened” video capture and in the case of Biden “wandering off” at the Skydiving show, it does appear to be somewhat contrived.
He appears to actually be chatting with one of the divers off camera.”
As I understand it, they were getting ready for a photo shoot, and they were all lined up. Then Biden turns towards one of the skydivers and wanders off a few steps towards him. The lady had to round him up and the other leaders fell in behind him for the photo shoot.
He has probably been this way for 10 years.
During the 2016 election cycle, Pelosi had a phone bank setup to call voters and one of the key answers they had was “Joe has a speech impediment”.
I know this as I had extended family working the CA phone banks calling GA.
The cheat is going to have to really big this time. I think the democrats are realizing that they aren’t going to be able to pull it off as easily and with as much aplomb as they did in 2020. Thus the plans b, c, and probably d (”d” is what scares me). In the almost four years since that election the number of people believing there was fraud in the election has actually increased.
As an example, in 2020 Trump won in Iowa 53.1% to Biden’s 44.9%. A nice margin but what you would expect in a reliably conservative state. The Des Moines Register poll whose final 2020 polling was almost exactly the amount of Trump’s win, came out with a poll today showing Trump ahead by 18%. Trump is gaining rather than losing support exactly opposite of what the left wants to see.
Don’t fall for Joe Biden’s “nice old man” act — he’s just lowering expectations
By Social Links for Miranda Devine, nypost.com, June 16, 2024
God forbid that we allow our eyes to see what they see when it comes to the Meanderer in Chief’s bizarre behavior. Rather than be accused of peddling disinformation, best to make no comment about the latest video of Joe Biden freezing up like a zombie and having to be shepherded off stage by Barack Obama Saturday night at the president’s celebrity-studded fundraiser in Los Angeles.
Some things are so obvious they need no commentary. But Republicans should not fall into the trap of emphasizing Biden’s increasing befuddlement, as viral as such moments are to a world astonished that America now resembles the end stages of Soviet decrepitude.

Joe Biden’s cognitive ability has been questioned since the start of his presidency. The strategy risks engendering sympathy for a man who deserves none and lets him off the hook for all the damage he has wrought on this country. It also plays into Biden’s superpower: being underestimated. He might act like a doddering incompetent, look like a wax effigy and walk like a robot, but the president has the uncanny ability to exceed all expectations when it counts, politically.

Jill Biden puts on a powerful show of support for Hunter — while snubbing his now-5-year-old daughter We’re told he plans to hole up at Camp David for the best part of a week before the upcoming presidential debate. Whatever magic tricks are involved in his debate prep, you know it will be a different Joe Biden at the podium June 27 than the one we’ve seen wandering around Europe like a defective Roomba.

He keeps passing the tests set for him by doubters in his party who are worried that most voters think he’s too old — a polite euphemism for his cognitive fitness more than a judgment on his numerical age of 81, which is not much more than Donald Trump, who just turned 78, but has seemingly boundless energy. For instance, Biden’s weird performance at the State of the Union in March after another extended recharge at Camp David was effusively praised by his media boosters as “feisty,” “energetic,” and “passionate.

CNN SUCKS UP-—Joe Biden’s rough stretch continues as his debate with Donald Trump looms. “Biden projects a vision of strength” was typical from CNN. “He projected vigor and forcefulness. His voice . . . was sonorant. He was quick off the mark . . . a trenchant master of the chamber.”
One particularly barf-worthy line hailed the comeback of the “scrappy, twinkle-eyed, blue-collar street politician.” These media accounts were at odds with what any normal person saw of Biden’s shouty, angry, oddly high-octane performance. But Biden benefited from low expectations, which had plummeted deeper into the basement after Special Counsel Robert Hur decided not to charge him with mishandling classified documents because he is cognitively unfit to stand trial or, as Hur diplomatically put it, he is a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
All Biden had to do for applause at the debate was not fall off the stage. Online censorship expert Mike Benz, a former Trump State Department cyber official, likens Biden’s episodes of strategic sharpness to a computer being woken up from low-power mode. “If you were to put him in a debate, he would be able to summon the power to be somewhat formidable. But he gets that by being effectively in sleep mode for the other 98% of the debate.”
Biden has seemingly been lost at the G7 conference. Biden is used to being written off as a dud because of his history of preposterous boasting, plagiarism, dishonesty, and chip-on-the-shoulder combativeness. No serious man behaves like that. Yet, every now and then, when his opponents are lulled into complacency, he pulls off a political masterstroke.
Benz points to the 2012 vice-presidential debate when everyone had written off Biden as “slow and prone to gaffes [and he] absolutely spanked Paul Ryan and turned around the Obama campaign.” It was the same at the presidential debates of 2020. Derided as a befuddled basement-dweller, Biden fluked it again, managing to land a few jabs on Trump and neutralizing his attacks with the help of 51 liars and a posse of partisan moderators.
The June 27 debate is the next make-or-break moment for Biden, which Democrats will watch with their hearts in their hands, as party strategist James Carville admitted on his “Politics War Room” podcast last week.
I do believe this was indeed inapropriate behavior on Biden’s part. Kind of like a child’s attention being diverted by someone holding a cluster of colored balloons in the park. I’m more annoyed with how some edited the video and then mischaracterized his actions as being a dementia addled wandering moment.
I just don’t like being played by my own any more than by the propagandists on the left.
Very true. I misspoke.
Agreed. Biden's cognitive decline is about as much an open and shut case as Stacey Abrams' obesity.
LOS ANGELES, CA — The most powerful man in America was forced to deal with an unexpected emergency last night, with former President Barack Obama suffering a moment of panic due to his Biden remote control suddenly losing connection.
The incident occurred during a ritzy fundraiser where Obama was once again using his state-of-the-art remote control to guide President Joe Biden through a pre-programmed routine as he rubbed elbows with Hollywood celebrities to raise cash for his re-election campaign.
“Oh… oh no… not again,” Obama was heard muttering on stage as Biden appeared to experience yet another of his frequent glitches and freeze, leaving Obama at a loss as to what to do. “Why can’t they get this thing fixed?! C’mon, man! He’s frozen out there like a mannequin again. Those maintenance techs are going to get a piece of my mind!”

they’re not really “liberal.” They are liberal with other people’s money and not their own. That used to be called “miserly.” They are leftists aka leftards.
Biden is going for the bright eyed and bushy tailed performance bump for his after the debate bump.
Lot’s of Adderall might just pull it off.
They hope his spunkiness overshadows his complete record of fail that Trump will bludgeon him with.
I think they be that dumb.
