New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd called on President Biden to abandon his re-election campaign following his poor debate showing on Thursday night, warning that deciding to run was ill-advised and made him no better than his adversary, former President Trump.
“He’s being selfish. He’s putting himself ahead of the country. He’s surrounded by opportunistic enablers. He has created a reality distortion field where we’re told not to believe what we’ve plainly seen. His hubris is infuriating. He says he’s doing this for us, but he’s really doing it for himself,” she started the column.
“I’m not talking about Donald Trump. I’m talking about the other president.”
In a column titled “The Ghastly vs. the Ghostly” Dowd joined several of her New York Times columnist colleagues on Saturday morning to call on the president to step aside. On Friday, the NYT Editorial Board also called on Biden to drop out of the race.
“He struggled to explain what he would accomplish in a second term. He struggled to respond to Mr. Trump’s provocations. He struggled to hold Mr. Trump accountable for his lies, his failures and his chilling plans,” the board said. “More than once, he struggled to make it to the end of a sentence.”
Dowd also pointed to his debate struggles, but suggested that they indicated a much larger issue for his would-be second term.
“He didn’t just have an off night,” she wrote. “Biden looked ghostly, with that trepidatious gait; he couldn’t remember his rehearsed lines or numbers.”
“He has age-related issues, and those go in only one direction,” she continued.

Biden being the Biden you voted for (quotes):
Trump says if he loses again in November — these are his words — there will be a “bloodbath” in America. If he loses, there will be a “bloodbath.” My God. What kind of man is this? The things he’s saying.
Trump brags about how he’s the reason why Roe v. Wade was overturned. The first time in our history, because of Donald Trump, a fundamental constitutional guarantee was taken away from the American people, from women in America.
He’s also the only president other than Herbert Hoover to lose more jobs by the time he left office than when he entered office.
On our watch, we’ve created a record 15 million new jobs.
Folks, when Kamala and I came to office, the pandemic was raging, the economy was reeling. And what did Trump do? He denied — even though he gave an interview acknowledging he knew it — the deadly nature of COVID. He told us to inject bleach in his skin. Well, guess what? I think he must have injected it in his brain because — (laughter).
Do you have a significant problem with it, Maureen?

“The POTUS looked creepy with his mouth agape and his eyes fixated in a blank stare.”
Someone posted this yesterday:
“Look at how the corners of Bidendropov’s mouth are turned down in resting phase. This man has had either another stroke outright last summer or a severe Transient Ischemic Attack.”
“He is a HUSK, he now has well-established temporal / pre-frontal / executive-function impairment and he has limbic impairment.”
Quotes:
“Biden’s policies will create an economic bloodbath for the auto industry and autoworkers,” Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said.
“I can’t read this damn teleprompter,” Trump said. “This sucker is moving. Like reading a moving flag at a 35-mph wind.”

He looked even creepier preparing to address the Tater Swuft Tater Tot peanut gallery in Cackalackey as he stood there trying to figure out what it said on that angry woman’s black and white dress. All he knew was that it was some kind of four letter word.

Trump speaking about invaders:
“In some cases they’re not people...animals”

Required...BWAHAHAHAHA
“The dirty little secret of all that is the US has nothing that Russia doesn’t already have in greater abundance.”
We have the best suburbs in the world, which the Democrats would like to trash like Detroit, Cleveland and Newark were.
Time marches on. I wonder how long this forum has had the "Dowd Rule"? Bet it's getting close to twenty years.
“He struggled to hold Mr. Trump accountable for his lies, his failures and his chilling plans”
The plans aren’t chilling except to invaders, crony capitalists and people abusing our welfare and legal systems.
The failures are of Congress.
And what you think are lies are reasonable doubts due to deeply flawed election processes that allow foreigners to vote and allow people to vote multiple times by ballots carelessly mailed out.
Maureen O’Dowd has become the establishment. When she says its time for Biden to go, it’s just a matter of time before it happens.
Yes, around 22 years to be exact.
Thanks for the link to the WRAL fact check of the false bleach story that Biden and the MSM continue to say about Trump.
I watched that interview and Q&A session when it happened, and it burned me ack then that the MSM misrepresented it to people right away. There are clearly some people who don’t know how to understand words and conversation as they are spoken.
With all of the Democrats connections in Hollywood, you would think that they’d done a better job on his cadaver like makeup.
Of course, even Hollywood magic can’t hide his mental incapacitation.
He looked like a cadaver
I have no respect for any pundit that tells Biden to drop out of the race, but doesn’t tell him to resign immediately.
These dufus’s now see something we have seen all along and we are the dingbats?
They are now rearranging the deck chairs on the Bitanic.
