"The Disgusting Furor Over Biden's Age"

I have not seen what everyone is saying, but this is my two cents:: Trump lied every time he opened his mouth. But that’s not what the audience saw. They saw a man who could not even finish a sentence. Awful does not begin to describe Bidens performance.

Bottom line, I was wrong. I believed that Biden would put the age question to rest. He did the opposite. The Titanic hit an iceberg. Democrats have to stop pretending it won’t sink. They need to abandon ship before it’s too late. The polls are going drive that point home. I assume there are already discussions happening. If not that is gross negligence.

"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."

Biden isn't the only thing you were wrong about. Trump did not lie every time he opened his mouth. Biden not only was incoherent he also spouted debunked lies about Charlottesville and about Calling our fallen vets Losers. Both of those are Democrat manufactured lies. I suspect Biden has repeated them so often they are etched into his failing mind. So he reverted to repeating them at the debate. The Dems have been hiding Biden's mush brain for 3 years but it is getting worse fast now and they can no longer hide it. Biden belongs in a home not the White House.

Now go deliver some breakfast burritos for Uber Eats.
