Bob Woodward calls Biden’s dismal debate performance a ‘political H-bomb’
Nypost ^ | 06/29/2024 | OLIVIA RONDEAU

Longtime Washington Post editor and Watergate reporter Bob Woodward shared serious concerns about President Biden’s dismal debate performance — and likened the president’s fumbling to a “political hydrogen bomb.”

“I think the answer here is in reporting, in seeking very aggressively, an explanation — what happened here?” Woodward, 81, told MSNBC’s Air Melber on Friday.

Woodward said Biden’s debating was “so bad, so awful” that the American people had a right to know what was going on.

I saw the video earlier and am tickled that it shook up the POS.

The problem isn’t just that Biden is old. The problem is he’s insane. Only a madman would not consider a nuclear holocaust/war an existential threat, saying “the ONLY existential threat to humanity is climate change.” And this insane person has the power to launch a nuclear weapon. How could we even consider it would be safe to reelect this man?

What are Sundowners? ... The change of behavior in many dementia patients as the day progresses (They get worse as the day ends into the evening)

Hmmm. That fits with team Biden often calling a "lid" for the day at around 2:00 PM.

“I can’t understand what the point would be. If His Fraudulency were somehow removed from office, his replacement would be WORSE.”
You could be right, but what if he wins?
I don’t think Newsom will do any better with voters. He’s destroyed California.
And Gretchen definitely could not win.
I think the DNC thinks the puppet is their best choice for these reasons.
They have no intentions of dumping Biden.
If the RNC their lawyers do their jobs, Trump should win regardless.
Removing Biden will more or less expose the real regime. They will come crawling out protesting ANY non-partisan physicians examining Biden.

Sorry.

Sundowning, also known as sundown syndrome, is a group of symptoms that can occur in people with dementia or delirium in the late afternoon or early evening and can continue into the night. It’s most common in people with Alzheimer’s disease, but can also occur in other types of dementia.

Symptoms include:
Confusion, Restlessness, Irritability, Pacing, Wandering, Yelling, Hallucinations or delusions, Anxiety, and Disorientation.

Sundowning can make it difficult for people to fall asleep and stay in bed, which can lead to sleep deprivation. The exact cause of sundowning is unknown, but possible causes include:
Alzheimer’s-related brain changes
Being overly tired
Unmet needs such as hunger or thirst
Disease progression
Mental and physical exhaustion
Navigating a new or confusing environment
A mixed-up internal body clock
Side effects of some prescription and over-the-counter medications

Here are some tips for coping with sundowning:
Reduce stimulation
Avoid excessive auditory or visual stimulation in the evening, such as loud noises, clattering dishes, or loud conversations. Instead, try playing familiar, gentle music or relaxing nature sounds.
Create a calm environment
Bring familiar items, such as family photographs, to help create a more relaxed and reassuring environment. You can also try dimming the lights with night lights.
Stay close by
If the person needs to get up and move around, don’t try to hold them back, but stay close by to keep an eye on them.
Try calming activities
Try changing the subject and talking about something else, or doing a calming activity like folding laundry together.
Seek medical advice
If sundowning continues to be a problem, you should seek medical advice.

Gordon Lightfoot Disease (should have been Gordon Lightfoot Syndrome) is a joke:

Thanks. Got it now. My mother in law has dementia. Definitely worse in late afternoon and evening.

Proper outlet for such a problem is 25 th amendment. That has to come from VP and a majority of Biden’s cabinet. If Biden contests it must go back and forth ( with time limitations) with both Houses of Congress. I believe 2/3rd from both Houses.

So do I. Usually an alcohol or “I’ve had enough” circumstance. You don’t wanna annoy Blackdog at 2:00AM.

Where was Woodward the past three years - standing with his head in the sand and ignoring the obvious - Biden’s demeanor has been an “H-Bomb” all along.

Unless he is dead or declared incapable of continuing his term, he cannot be replaced on the ballot as of yesterday in Georgia, Wisconsin or Nevada. So, even if he does get pulled, and Jill doesn’t give up, then he’s off the ballot on 4 states (as Ohio said he can’t be, because the Convention is too late, and the Republicans aren’t giving up), then he has 4 states that he won’t have a chance of winning.

Honestly, I hope if they can get him to step down, he isn’t declared incompetent, because at that point, at least 4 states will prevent the left from having any chance at all.

No quarter. No give. No chance of giving them ANYTHING. It’s simple. They’ve done everything they could to destroy America. Push the pedal down as hard as possible. Telling them to pound sand is what we need. And the Democrats all knew, and hid it, so they should be hammered on their hiding the truth from all of us for years. Time to destroy the Democrats altogether.

Let’s hope that they don’t. When Biden loses the election due to him being a complete failure, Trump will be able to walk in, and wipe out the scum that have tried to destroy our country. If someone else is put in place, the leftists might have some way of giving some pity party to try to beat Trump. But, the reality is, he needs to be the stooge to bring down the corrupt, anti-American, and in MANY cases, traitorous, DNC.

A snap poll was taken of independent voters immediately after Thursday night's debate.

Here is a link to the poll's raw data:

J.L. Partners Post-Debate Poll of Independent Voters

Here are some interesting nuggets in this poll:

Q: Before watching the presidential debate, who were you most considering voting for in November?

Analysis: President Trump was going to lose 21% of his 2020 Independent voters. Biden was going to lose 36% of his 2020 Independent voters.


Q: After watching the presidential debate, who will you vote for in November?

Analysis: President Trump regained 5% of his 2020 Independent voters AND picked up 2% of 2020 Biden voters. Biden lost an additional 8% of his 2020 Independent voters.


About the African-American Independent vote:

Q: Before watching the presidential debate, who were you most considering voting for in November?

Q: After watching the presidential debate, who will you vote for in November?

Analysis: President Trump picked up 11% of the Independent black vote. Biden lost 4% of the Independent black vote.


About Independent Women voters:

Q: Before watching the presidential debate, who were you most considering voting for in November?

Q: After watching the presidential debate, who will you vote for in November?

Analysis: President Trump picked up 2% of the Independent female vote. Biden lost 2% of the Independent female vote.


About Independent Young (18-29) voters:

Q: Before watching the presidential debate, who were you most considering voting for in November?

Q: After watching the presidential debate, who will you vote for in November?

Analysis: President Trump picked up 3% of the Independent young vote. Biden lost 3% of the Independent young vote.


About Independent Senior (65+) voters:

Q: Before watching the presidential debate, who were you most considering voting for in November?

Q: After watching the presidential debate, who will you vote for in November?

Analysis: Seniors are the only Independent voting bloc where Trump is not doing well, losing 2% after the debate to Biden losing only 1%. Seniors moved to RFK, Jr. by 6% after the debate.

An interesting side note is that seniors are not interested in alternative parties.


Conclusion: President Trump picked up votes in all major demographics except the senior voters.
