Ruth Bader Biden
The Atlantic via MSN ^ | June 7, 2024 | Mark Leibovich

..But here is a broader thematic reality for the president: Bad vibes have been the persistent feature of his campaign. No matter the obstacles Trump creates for himself, Biden remains a comprehensively weak incumbent, weighed down by the same liabilities that burdened him from the start, beginning with the largest, and completely unfixable, one: At 81, he is much too old to run for president. Durable supermajorities of voters still do not want any part of Biden at this age. His bullheaded insistence on doing something no one has ever done (Ronald Reagan, then the oldest president in American history, was 77 when he retired), along with the unwillingness or inability of Democrats to stop him, remains an existentially risky, potentially disastrous, proposition. The stakes remain appallingly high. If Biden loses in November, that’s all anyone will remember him for.

Like many people, I’ve made the unwelcome comparison between Biden and Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the late liberal icon whose legacy was stained by her unwillingness to retire while Barack Obama was still president. Ginsburg’s death, at 87, occurred in the final months of the Trump administration, which allowed him to appoint her successor (Amy Coney Barrett). The Real Time host Bill Maher dubbed the octogenarian president “Ruth Bader Biden” on his HBO program last September. Biden, Maher said, was “the person who doesn’t know when to quit and so does great damage to their party and their country.”

Biden’s conduct is far worse than Ginsburg’s, in fact, given the awesome power of the presidency and the havoc Trump could unleash with it this time.

They’re certainly squealing a lot about “the havoc Trump could unleash”, aren’t they? Almost like a guilty conscience...

The Atlantic hates Donald Trump with a passion.

That is why they want Biden off the ticket ASAP.

Btw they don’t care if Biden is non compos mentis today as President.

They just don’t want to lose the election.

Biden is gonna give them the middle finger for the same reason other politicians have done. Power is not given up easily. And that is why Washington is easily the greatest of all the presidents combined for the rest of eternity. King George said as much, when he heard Washington had stepped down rather than make himself king with the fighting men he could have undoubtedly called upon, as Napoleon did.

[At the end of the Revolutionary War, many people in America and Europe thought Washington would retain the reins of power to become the leader of the new nation, or even king. When told by the American artist Benjamin West that Washington was going to resign, King George III of England said “If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world.”]

Trump should offer to quit 2 years into his second term. Just demand everything from the rats. They’ll be happy to see him go. Trump with 6 years as POTUS could run again-right?

After telling Biden for three years that he’s been doing a great job, the media is now surprised that he doesn’t want to step down?

At 81, he is much too old to run for president.

It is not his age, it is his dementia that is the problem. Bernie Sanders is a few years older and totally mentally competent crazy leftist,but not senile nor suffering from dementia.

This is hilarious.

The anti Trump Atlantic was part of the cover-up on Biden’s mental & physical condition.

Democrat voters should step out of their liberal information bubble once in awhile, we conservatives were saying Joe was ‘shot’ four years ago.

I think it’s awesome that RBG did her workouts wearing her robe from the Supreme Court

Added a certain awesomeness to her workout routine

I’ll bet Joe Biden wore the same thing when he punched out CornPop

Hillary was probably wearing same when she landed under sniper fire
