The verdict is in. Joe Biden is to blame. So too are the advisers who protected him in the White House by hiding his frailties. Together they unwittingly choreographed the comeback of President Donald Trump. The country is living with the consequences, and the Democratic Party is looking for a way out of the wilderness.
That, at least, is the underlying charge of books about the 2024 election. The one drawing the most attention is the newest, “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.” Written by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’s Alex Thompson, the book will not be released until Tuesday, but prepublication excerpts have made waves.....
Biden isolated from Cabinet members and lawmakers in the latter years of his presidency. Biden’s workdays reduced in hours. Biden tethered to a teleprompter even at intimate fundraisers. Advisers fearful that another fall could require him to use a wheelchair in a second term.
The portrait of his inner circle is as damning. Key advisers and family members are described as shielding the president to a fault, dismissive of any suggestion that he was failing. When a report from special counsel Robert K. Hur described Biden as “a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory,” his handlers (and the president) were indignant. Was all this hubris, blind loyalty, a conspiracy of silence? That depends on where you sit......
Some Democrats are angry that the focus has fixed on Biden’s decline rather than what they see as admirable accomplishments in office. Others simply find it a distraction from the business of battling with Trump. Biden has added to the drama by publicly challenging the conclusions of authors, as he seeks to shape a legacy tarnished by the closing months of his presidency.

RATS have a strategy.
we should donate more shovels to the cause
Biden had accomplishments while in office? I must have blinked and missed them, much less anything admirable.
Someone had accomplishments. Not Biden, though. So, who?
The real problem is that boden has always been a venal POS.
And kamala, well…..lol.
Yes they do, it’s blame the dying guy, nothing wrong with their policies of destruction.
What accomplishments?
Increased crime?
Increased illegal immigration?
Increased cost of living?
Increased DS infiltration of our government?
Increased immorality and sexual perversion?
Hardly accomplishments.
Eventually a Jake Tapper book goes to its ultimate reward — binned in the Bundy Memorial Library in the frozen foods aisle.
It wasn't Biden's choice.
Biden was incompetent. He was well on his was to being incompetent when the choice was made for him to run in the 2016 race.
No, it was his handlers that made that choice. Biden said the words for the the cameras but it was his handlers getting him to say the words.
I can imagine that when he was off his meds that they could get him to say "I am a ham sandwich".
I believe that the last Dem President to actually have a press that did not consider itself a protector of that president was either LBJ or Woodrow Wilson. For LBJ, consider why the press was hostile.
They knew all along, all the way back to when they stole the election.
You pull that thread and I will BET you will unravel it all the way back to Obama and his donors/owners.
Wa poop has it wrong.
All the
Consequences of a stolen elections ( yes many plurals) are the things that this country has had to survive and still continues to suffer having lived through.
We survived with education in hand.
Not only the media but Kamala, Rep. Clybum and sen. Coons are all incompetent fools or blatant liars or both. Regardless they are lying to the American voters about Biden’s mental state.
Obama was as much a created puppet as bidet. He was created by the deep state or perhaps the CIA. Note his public influence has declined.
Notice the compost fails to mention the media’s role in shielding Biden.
There has been a lot of discussion about who was running the Biden administration against the backdrop of numerous revelations about his cognitive incapacity while in office. However, one key point keeps being overlooked about the DOJ during his tenure.
Merrick Garland was not selected to be Joe Biden’s Attorney General because the crew in control of the events wanted Merrick Garland as Attorney General. Garland was removed from his position as DC Circuit Court Justice in order to make room for Ketanji Brown-Jackson to take Garland’s place, get Senate confirmed and then await the resignation of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Bryer. {GO DEEP}
As a standalone Supreme Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson would have been a radical pick. Judge Brown-Jackson was a known activist in the DC District Court; however, by removing Garland as chief circuit justice and replacing him with KBJ, who needed Senate confirmation as chief circuit justice, she could get through a later Senate confirmation easier and then sit on the Supreme Court for thirty years. Garland was removed to make room for KBJ. It was a strategy.
Garland was a U.S. Attorney General in name only. The actual lead of the DOJ was from Obama’s crew, Deputy AG Lisa Monaco.
WHY?
Back in 2009 President Obama selected Eric Holder to be Attorney General. AG Holder’s role was to lead the Lawfare ‘fundamental transformation’ we have seen in the 16 years since. In the 2010 midterms, Obama was “shellacked”; that triggered AG Holder to ask the Treasury Department to participate in a “special research project.” {Go Deep}
The IRS was asked for the Schedule-B’s of groups who were registered as “patriot” groups (Tea Party Patriots) and other names associated with the political uprising against Barack Obama and the takeover of federal healthcare, ie Obamacare. The Cincinnati field office of the IRS then sent the DOJ a batch of CD-ROM’s containing the names of the individual donors listed on the IRS 501-c (3)(4) forms. That list was then compiled and used by the federal government to target the donors and supporters. A whistleblower came forward; the IRS controversy swirled in 2012.
On September 25, 2014, the Justice Department said Attorney General Eric Holder would resign as soon as his successor is confirmed. Holder was succeeded by Loretta Lynch on April 27, 2015. Lynch was selected because she was the bridge to Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016.
Remember the Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch tarmac meeting? It’s all connected.
Summary so far:
That was the plan. The DOJ/FBI would protect Clinton’s interests, and that’s exactly what they did in 2015 and 2016.
Do you remember the 2018 mid-term election in California?
For weeks after 2018 election day in California, the new process of mail-in ballots changed the entire election day outcome. California was the BETA test for the national 2020 mail-in ballot fraud system. It all links back to the California ballot and illegal alien voter registration operation carried out by Eric Holder.
KBJ was put into the planning book back in February 2020, yes, 2020!
It was February 25th, 2020, to be precise, just four days before the South Carolina Democrat primary. South Carolina Representative James Clyburn went backstage at the presidential debate and told Biden,
“You’ve had a couple of opportunities to mention naming a Black woman to the Supreme Court,” Clyburn lectured his friend of nearly half a century, like a schoolteacher scolding a child.
“I’m telling you, don’t you leave the stage tonight without making it known that you will do that.” {link}
Unbeknownst to Biden at the time, just two days earlier Barack Obama and James Clyburn came to an agreement and created the most consequential alliance of the 2020 Democrat campaign. Barack Obama the figurative and ideological leader of the movement known as “Black Lives Matter”, and James Clyburn the figurative and ideological leader of the political construct within the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) church, had struck a deal.
Obama and Clyburn really had no choice but to come to an agreement and form the alliance. If they did not act fast, Bernie Sanders was gaining momentum, and they could not have Sanders at the top of the 2020 ticket, because he was too outside the club system which was now almost exclusively focused on racial identity as a tool for political power.
A Bernie Sanders -vs- Donald Trump general election would have been a disaster; and it would be almost impossible for the racial operatives in the key precincts [Atlanta (GA), Philly (PA), Clark County (NV), Wayne County (Mich), Madison (WI)] to feel inspired enough to risk themselves and commit fraud to help Bernie win.
To get rid of Sanders, BLM and AME aligned. This was the actual moment when Hillary Clinton was cast into the pit of irrelevance in Democrat politics.
Within the agreement, Obama and Clyburn selected Biden as the tool they could easily control to deliver on their larger, progressive, leftist intentions.
A few days later, James Clyburn then endorsed Biden while Barack Obama began making phone calls telling each of the other candidates to drop out in sequence and support Biden or else the club would destroy them. The only one told not to drop out yet was Elizabeth Warren, as she would be needed as the insurance policy, the splitter against Bernie Sanders.
Each of the candidates was promised the traditional indulgences for toeing the party line, and the rest is history. Joe Biden wandered around doing what everyone told him to do, which was mostly stay in his basement and let the club work on his behalf, until the club delivered the nomination.
Inside that process, the strategic map was modified to ensure Ketanji Brown-Jackson would advance to the Supreme Court.
With Biden installed, he would select Merrick Garland as his Attorney General. Judge Garland was an important judge on the important DC Circuit Court. Garland’s replacement would need to be a Senate confirmed seat for that Circuit Court assignment. Brown-Jackson would be put into Garland’s open spot, and the Senate could not deny her the SCOTUS confirmation, having just confirmed her months before. {Go Deep}
It was always the team around -and including- Barack Obama operating in the background of Biden.
I agree, but Obama was granted the “authority” over the American “process”. He AND the CIA/deep state are fully owned and operated by the donor class, and some of them aren’t even American.
The American left does what it is told.
