"The Disgusting Furor Over Biden's Age"

"When the news broke about the special counsel’s hit job — his snide, unwarranted, obviously politically motivated slurs about President Biden’s memory — I found myself thinking about my mother. What year did she die? It turned out that I didn’t know offhand; I knew that it was after I moved from Princeton to CUNY, because I was regularly commuting out to New Jersey to see her, but before the pandemic. I actually had to look into my records to confirm that she died in 2017.

I’ll bet that many readers are similarly vague about the dates of major life events. You remember the circumstances, but not necessarily the precise year. And whatever you think of me, I’m pretty sure I don’t write or sound like an old man. The idea that Biden’s difficulty in pinning down the year of his son’s death shows his incapacity — in the middle of the Gaza crisis! — is disgusting.

As it happens, I had an hour-long off-the-record meeting with Biden in August. I can’t talk about the content, but I can assure you that he’s perfectly lucid, with a good grasp of events. And outside that personal experience, on several occasions when I thought he was making a serious misjudgment — like his handling of the debt ceiling crisis — he was right and I was wrong.

And my God, consider his opponent. When I listen to Donald Trump’s speeches, I find myself thinking about my father, who died in 2013 (something else I had to look up). During his last year my father suffered from sundowning: he was lucid during the day, but would sometimes become incoherent and aggressive after dark. If we’re going to be doing amateur psychological diagnoses of elderly politicians, shouldn’t we be talking about a candidate who has confused Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi, and whose ranting and raving sometimes reminds me of my late father on a bad evening?

So to everyone who’s piling on Biden right now, stop and look in the mirror. And ask yourself what you are doing."

How would a cretin like you manage to organize an hour-long meeting with Biden, although he is effectively a real - life Hollywood zombie (a member of the "undead") due to the fact he has advanced dementia, and his cognition function is down around the level of an adult with profound Down's Syndrome, etc; he is still technically-specking the US President. An I really don't think that anyone is going to allow a "dingle-berry" an unhinged dipstick and a major wanker like you to engage in an "hour-long, off-the-record meeting" with the US President (even if it is Biden). You know that you are a sick person, I hope? You are a phantasist and you need to be referred to a specialist psychiatrist before you get yourself into trouble.

Absolutely correct. At this point Joe and kamala couldnt beat a mop and a bucket of muddy water in an election.

I hope Biden grows a pair and debates Trump. And if Trump (miraculously) just sticks to facts and remains civil, Biden's gonna blow a fuse. It'd be fun to watch :thisisgettinggood:
 
3.7 percent unemployment and 13 million jobs added in three years speaks for itself

Marty is a well known loon on this forum.

No one takes him seriously.

Now Trump can accurately say Biden will not debate him because Biden's memory is too shot.

Bidens an evil dipshit. No wonder you like him.
 
It’s a James Comey flashback

Yeah, exactly. Is there any evidence that the special counsel even interviewed Biden? If he did so, why was he asking him about his son's death and when it happened?

This will backfire on the Republicans, whose base includes a large percentage of elderly people. We all have slips of memory and of the tongue; mocking someone else for that is a very bad optic.

Marty, thank you for creating this thread. You have opened the door for literally hundreds of brandon gaffes yet to come.

Biden says the Special Council interviewed him for 5 hours on October 8th. :laugh: So either Biden is well enough to stand trial for WILLFULLY retaining Classified documents since he was a Senator and for sharing Classified documents with his Ghost writer or his isn't. Which is it , nurse 007?
