Voters thought the faltering president was too old, but allies looked the other way, advisers defended his abilities and the Democratic Party boxed out other candidates

Biden had just finished trying to persuade a group of congressional Democrats to pass a $1 trillion infrastructure bill when Nancy Pelosi, then the House speaker, took the microphone.
In 30 minutes of remarks on Capitol Hill, Biden had spoken disjointedly and failed to make a concrete ask of lawmakers, according to Democrats in the room. After he left, a visibly frustrated Pelosi told the group she would articulate what Biden had been trying to say...

That was October 2021. That month was the last time Biden met with the House Democratic caucus on the Hill regarding legislation.
Nearly three years later, concerns about the 81-year-old president’s age and mental acuity have put an abrupt cap on his half-century political career. They had grown from a murmur among allies, who said they believed—or hoped—they were catching the president on a bad day, to a deafening roar, as many of those same allies called on him to step aside in the wake of his disastrous June 27 debate performance.

The drawbacks of Biden’s age were clear to voters, with polls showing that nearly three-quarters of them last year deemed him too old to seek another term. Yet inside the party’s uppermost ranks, revelations about the toll aging has taken on the president seemed to catch many people by surprise in recent months.
“I am really concerned about what we were not told during these months,” said Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D., Texas)

There is some reporting over on telegram that emergency meetings have been called this AM with ALL WH staffers, Joes condition is terminal and they expect him to resign!! Don’t know how true this all is but we will see!!
It wasn’t supposed to matter.
Trump was supposed to be dead now.
Remember they tried to jail him first with lawfare.
When that didn't work, they resorted to assassination.
They will stop at nothing to prevent Trump from getting back to the White House.
We don’t call him Lloyed Dogs**t for nothing.
That would not surprise me at all.
There have been other Freepers predicting this for years now.
Those others here that have experience dealing with dementia in their relatives.
Once they go over the edge there is no coming back. Joe may never return to the White House. He may spend the rest of his life sitting and drooling.
It reminds me of a song from my youth:
Dogs
Song by Pink Floyd
You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you’re on the street
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking
And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You’ll get the chance to put the knife in
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know it’s going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older
And in the end you’ll pack up and fly down south
Hide your head in the sand,
Just another sad old man
All alone and dying of cancer
And when you loose control, you’ll reap the harvest you have sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it’s too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone
Dragged down by the stone (stone, stone, stone, stone, stone)
I gotta admit that I’m a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I’m just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
If I don’t stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze?
Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone’s expendable and no-one has a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
And everything’s done under the sun
And you believe at heart, everyone’s a killer
Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a pat on the back
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home
Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone
Songwriters: David Jon Gilmour / Roger Waters
pffft. They knew right from the beginning. Remember when Biden first took office there was talk of taking away the nuclear codes from him by democrats.

IMO they got exactly what they wanted, the ability to pick candidates without having to go through a primary that would of selected unelectable candidates. Of course Harris is unelectable too, so it didn’t really work in the end
Biden did look very ill in the video of him leaving AF1 and walking to his limo. He could not step into the vehicle on his own and the SS agent had to lift him in. I believe his poor health is why he dropped out.
He belongs in a prison infirmary.
They keep wanting to make this about Biden’s “age” - No, he had and has dementia.
His campaign in 2020 made it obvious what was happening to him and how they were concealing it, the basement campaign and speaking to a dozen people outdoors on rare occasion was surreal.
They knew, they knew in 2020. They cooked up Covid lockdowns to allow him to hide in his basement.
They were more than happy to have him run again.
And then, lawfare failed.
And then, killing Trump failed.
And that is when it became necessary to replace him.
Next, they

one of my favorite songs..all 17 mins
Its too bad Roger Waters is such an Ahole.
A lot of his lyrics were very prophetic
