Why the Democrats lied about Joe Biden’s frailty
Spiked ^ | 28th June 2024 | Brendan O'Neill

***

Here’s the truly sinister thing: many of these people who said Biden was fine knew he wasn’t. They knew the White House insisted he always be flanked by minders, lest he stumble physically or verbally, in what was known by insiders as ‘Operation Bubble Wrap’. They knew he had become so frail that even special counsel Robert Hur decreed he should not be charged for keeping classified documents because he is an ‘elderly man’ with ‘poor memory’ and ‘diminished faculties’. They knew he was receiving regular physical tests but not cognitive tests, for fear of what might show up. They knew but they denied and lied and snapped at any uppity member of the public who said ‘Is Biden okay?’.

And why did they cover up Biden’s troubles? For power. In order that they might still rule. Out of naked, brutal self-interest. The Democratic elites and their footsoldiers in the cultural establishment are painfully aware they have few big-hitters who can connect with the public. Kamala Harris? Please. Gavin Newsom? Even Californians have tired of him. So out of desperation, they put blusher on Old Joe, fed him lines they prayed he would remember, and sent him out in a wretched bid to secure their own political clout and cultural hegemony. Behold the ruthlessness of the technocratic class. We now know there’s nothing they won’t do to fortify their authority. We can feel sorry for Biden, but for the rest of them we should feel only contempt.

I’d like to see “Champ” Biden lose resoundingly to a man he despises, Fine with me if he drops dead tonight, too. There are many possible scenarios. We agree that DJT needs to be victorious in November.

My mom has dementia. She’s nastier than when she didn’t have it. I see it in bidet, very similar behavior.

I was talking about Trump’s side. Obviously if the Democrats think they were lying and somehow hiding Biden’s mental state, it was another epic fail on their part.

“Here’s the truly sinister thing: many of these people who said Biden was fine knew he wasn’t.”

Well no shit.

What is actually sinister is they know he molests kids. And they’re ok with that.

We all miss Rush, but I think we felt it even more deeply after last night, when they told us blatantly that this robotic creature is nothing more than a Manchurian candidate that they are getting ready to replace.

I want him to run and I want him to lose. I don’t want whoever is the vp getting to be the pres

This. This is exactly what needs to happen.

And then his family goes to prison. Everyone involved in persecuting conservatives goes to prison.

A lot of corrupt nasty people need to go to prison.

... they can never, ever admit when they’re wrong about anything.

Absolutely, my good fRiend.

Dems.

Their middle name is deceit, and their gameplan is accumulating power.

Admit even the tiniest of an error?

HA!

Think Covid, and (IIRC) sending infected patients to retirement homes when hospital ships were available.

Just one example of so very, very many.

Didn’t mean to PM you.

Biden has never been a man of integrity, morals, or honesty, and now he gets to be a dictator with a DOJ that is his Goon Squad.

He called half of his citizens terrorists and says if you don’t vote for him, you’re destroying democracy.

I will never feel anything but contempt for this man, who is the embodiment of that is wrong with Washington, DC, and the UniParty pols and donors.

Biden was barely in charge on inauguration day and has just been a figurehead. What the public would ask is who are the members of the unrlected cabal making the real decisions for the last three years as Biden is totally incapable.

Why did they lie? Because they thought they could get away with it, and if recent history was any clue, that had good reason to think they could.

The real question is, why did they choose Biden in 2020, in the first place? They deliberately rigged the primaries to make sure he was the nominee, when even back then, they were aware of his diminishing mental a physical abilities.

I have always believed that every time we hear a MSM type spouting a lie, they know darn well it’s a lie the moment they are telling it. If, with our very limited ability to investigate, we know it is a lie, they darn well have the knowledge to know it. The MSM has no honor or integrity. They will lie if it advances their team’s goal.

Don’t forget his vicious attacks on those of us who refused the jab.

That was a stunning new low for an American president.

Gold digger Dr Jill is the ring leader of them all. Joe married the baby sitter.
