I am not an American. I have dual citizensip in Australia and the UK, and I spend 6 months of each year in Australia and 6 months in England. America and American politics have fascinated me for decades, and I follow political events in the US every day using the internet.
Donald Trump is, I think, the greatest American President to ever occupy the White House. His is a fighter, he has lots of guts and possesses razor-sharp political instincts and nous I admire him and I don't really care a toss about his penchant for "pussy grabbing" or other pecadilloes. ( Back in the 1980's during my rambunctious youth, I grabbed a pussy or two m'self and there were never any complaints ?) I don't think that his shagging Stormy Daniels was a legitimate Federal issue either. His decision to do that had no bearing on his role as President and how effectively he discharges the duties of his office. Morally speaking, it was, I think, the wrong thing to do, but that is all a matter for Trump to reconcile with his own conscience, it is no one elses business.
As I say, I'm a big Trump fan, and Democrats on this form will no doubt be appalled to hear that I order two MAGA T-Shits and a KAG cap from the US and now wear them with pride on the streets of Australia around where I live that Getting back to the political scene in the US at present, I would confidently predict that Donald Trump will win the Nov 2020 election and it is likely the Democrat will take an fearsome thrashing. I would not be surprised if the 2020 election results will resemble those of 1972 when the Democrat Presidential nominee, a liberal called George McGovern lost the election to Richard Nixon in what was the second biggest landslide in American history, with electoral college totals of 520 to 17 (!).
But that's not what this post is about, it's about the race for the 2020 Democratic Presidential nomination. I see that Bernie Sanders has recently lost a lot of momentum while Joe Biden is surging ahead in the contest for the Democratic nomination.. This, I think, is one of the most bewildering spectacles I have ever witnessed in any American election campaign. I don't mean Bernie Sanders losing his place as a front-runner in the race for the nomination, Sanders is a self-identified socialist and a hard-line, extreme socialist at that (what many average Americans would call a "communist"), the American electorate would not vote for a socialist in the Nov 2020 election. Secondly the professional Democratic establishment have used their money and influence (which is very considerable) to sabotage Sander's campaign. So it looks like it's "Good Night Vienna" as they say in the football, for Bolshevik Bernie. That no great great surprise. What bewilders me is Joe Biden. He is powering ahead because the "back room boys" of the professional Democratic establishment have backed him to win the nomination. That means they have decided to pour a lot of money and political influence into his run. What I cannot understand is why are they doing this when...BIDEN HAS DEMENTIA
Yes, Biden has dementia and you don't need to be a qualified psychiatrist or a register clinical psychologist to recognise the clear and unmistakable signs of Biden's cognitive decline: forgetfulness, impaired short-term memory, confusion and disorientation, agitation/aggression, difficulty with communicating, especially finding the right words to communicat, mood swings, emotional lability, inappropriate behaviours (like recently getting embroiled in a heated, expletive laden dispute with a Detroit auto worker about Biden's policy regarding the 2nd Amendment. I mean, you would expect that a factory worker might use profane language in an argument, but a senior politician, indeed, a former Vice President, should be above that kind of behaviour. He should be able to show some class maintain his equipoise and engage with his critic in a civil manner, not lower himself to the same level, as Biden did, by calling this worker a "horses ass" and telling him to "kiss my ass" and so on). I mean, Richard Nixon was a very clever guy, but he had a bad habit of swearing. The thing is he would never use foul language in public only in private when he was talking to a trusted confidant. As you know Nixon had the oval office wired up to record all of his conversations and many of his telephone calls. You can still listen to the tape recording on the internet. I think they're funny with the usually eloquent Nixon blowing fuse about the journalists at "The Washington Post" who were giving him bad press, were: "fucking cocksuckers", "fucking faggots and "pieces of shit", and how: "They better not fuck with me, Henry ( Nixon is talking to Henry Kissinger), coz I'm still the biggest fucking swingin' dick in this town !"
Biden screws up all the time, especially when he is giving speeches to supporters on the campaign trail, forgetting things that simply should not be forgotten like what state he is in, mistaking his sister for his daughter when they were standing beside him at a victory speech on "Super Tuesday", forgetting the words to Thomas Jefferson's famous passage in the Declaration of Independence that starts: "We hold these truths to be self evident, that..." if you're an American politician , being unable to remember the words to that verse is not just bad, it means, in all likelihood, your cognitive faculties have already started to degenerate.
The left media laugh of Biden's increasing number of embarrassing verbal cock-ups and would have you believe that they are simply amusing, trivial "gaffes" that have always been an endearing feature of Biden's personality.. They are not. The media are trying to deceive the public into believing that there is no serious problem. But they are lying because any cogent adult can see that Biden is afflicted with the symptoms of a real mental disorder, namely, dementia - a decline in cognitive functioning; - a brain disorder that progressively worsens.
On a personal note I find it all very sad. When I say Biden has dementia and that is a fact, I am not seeking to mock or criticise him, even though I am a conservative and Joe Biden is well known to have been involved in a string of corrupt business dealings whilst serving in the Obama administration. Despite all of this he is a man who has given decades of service to his country and his life deserves to honoured and respected. The Democratic Party needs to have the honesty to admit Joe Biden is not just slowing down a bit with age (he is currently 77 years old), but that he is in obvious and debilitating mental decline.
He is not medically fit to be President.
If it's fair to talk about Bernie Sander's heart attack and Bloomberg's stents, then it's fair to talk about Biden's brain. It is something of a disservice to the nation not to.
This isn't really about heading the Democratic ticket, it's about leading the nation. A Presidential candidate should be able to discharge the duties of the Presidency and it is obvious that Joe Biden's cognitive capacities are diminished to the point where he could not competently execute the gruelling demands of the US Presidency (I cannot think of a more stressful, high-pressure, exhausting, complex, emotionally and rationally challenging role).
This is not about age. Bernie Sanders and Bloomberg are 78 years old, a year older than Biden and both of them are clearly not afflicted with any kind of diminished cognitive function. Their mental faculties are all intact and if elected they could mentally handle the Presidency. Likewise Elizabeth Warren (who has recently dropped out of the race), although I disagree with her politics, at the age of 70 has all of her intellectual faculties intact.
But Biden doesn't. He should not be the Democratic Presidential nominee, and the obvious efforts by the professional Democratic establishment to hand him the nomination should stop. There is no doubt that Democratic establishment elites have put the fix in for Biden. The Democratic Party's "back room boys" have put their money on Biden. It's hrad to understand why they would do this. Somehow they hate Bernie Sanders, Bloomberg and Trump so much they'd rather go with a man whose mind is disintegrating with the text book symptoms of dementia. Or is it that there is only one Democratic establistment (centrist/moderate) candidate and the Professional Democratic establishment has selected him But that candidate is well past his prime and his eccentricities are snowballing into the unspoken theme of his campaign.
I cannot fathom the Democratic establishment's move to back Biden. For Christ's sake, the man is out on his feet. I can see it, you can see it, my pet Dachshund can see it, any rational adult member of the American electorate can see it. Look at his eyes they're Joe Frasier after he copped haymakesr from Mohammed Ali in Zaire during the World boxing Championship in 1974 (The legendary "Rumble in the Jungle"). Biden's not always there, he often "off with the pixies." And in a situation like this you DON'T push them forward into the hurly-burley in order to achieve your political ends, you put you arm around them and you get them help. Empathy and concern for Joe Biden don't express themselves as support for his decades-long ambition to be President of the United States. Rather, they manifest as a desire to protect him and the nation from the degrading of his intellectual faculties.
Joe Biden has dementia, he deserves the honour and care of a grateful nation, NOT the callous exploitation and manipulation of the faceless power-brokers in the professional Democratic establishment who really run the Democratic party.
