    Felix said it best, everyone saying “just give him until the September debate” as if the time is what solves dementia.

    The Trillbilly boys are betting he dies before the election (inshallah)

      Seriously

      Literally we called him “Joe Hiden” during the latter portion of the 2020 primary and the election

      Because the more he was seen publicly the more people were like “holy shit this guy is demented!”

      There’s something I don’t understand though. Biden has been like this for a long time. He does whatever the ruling class wants (except resign). Are they really turning against him because of a bad debate performance? I can remember him having shitty debate performances in 2019. The bourgeoisie also don’t really seem to have a backup plan. Kamala is even less popular than Biden is, and incumbents usually win elections, so is there some sort of ulterior purpose…?

        They might be worried his condition worsens to the point where he stops following their instructions

        Sort of like how they don’t really want trump either because he’s a little too unpredictable for them

    Honestly I’m sad this is happening now rather than when he was re elected. Not because I want him to be re elected but because it would be way funnier if he had been elected and then immediately went into 4 years of ever worsening and ever funnier decline

    The president will live forever unless an adventuring party finds and destroys his phylactery. The president has hidden his phylactery in the best spot, and he definitely remembers where that is.

    I could almost excuse the liberal pearl clutching at this as ignorance if Biden was at least kind in public, but for the past 6 years almost every public interaction, scripted or not, Biden has been atrocious. Even when he’s lucid, he insults people, is mean on purpose, and dismisses legitimate concerns and issues people ask him about.

      Americans literally just want Trump. Republicans got Trump and the dems all got mad that they weren’t allowed to like him because he was on the wrong team so they needed one of their own

        When starvation came, old people were commiting suicide and claiming they are “going to hunt”, “going to wood to forage”, “going on the road”. Then women. Then children were killed/discarded in woods/dropped at church. I bet some of my ancestors also died like that since i’m coming from poor peasantry. (not only in Poland ofc, basically every country have such stories)

        Dark card of history, useful to remind in case of burning hatred for landowners falling below acceptable level. Also worth to remember when some primitivist scum advocate for return to subsistence farming.

    Hey, I spent a lot of money. I’m not some nobody. Where’s my access!

    Donors have complained that Biden’s team has barred them from asking questions even at small group events, unusual at high-dollar political fundraisers.

    Tennis shoes are presidental?

    Biden also sometimes wears tennis shoes and uses a shorter series of steps to Air Force One, to reduce the chances he might trip.

    This tidbit is at the very end of the article.

    At the White House nine days before the debate, four people who were present said they worried about the president’s fitness after observing him at a celebratory gathering to announce a new policy to help immigrants.

    Under the sparkling chandeliers in the East Room on June 18, the president seemed off. He appeared frail as he navigated to the stage before the packed crowd of more than 100 people. He sometimes mumbled. In one jarring moment, he appeared to freeze while introducing Mayorkas, and then waved it off as a joke. A White House aide said the difficulty with Mayorkas’s name in that moment stemmed from Biden’s stutter.

    Aides reportedly said it was Biden being Biden.

    But others at the event said lawmakers and other attendees whispered concerns about Biden’s fitness over iced tea at the White House afterward, as a mariachi band played.

    “Everyone talked about it with each other,” said a former Biden administration official who attended the event. “We were all like ‘That was horrible. We’re going to lose the election.’”

    An advocate who was in the room recalled saying to others after the event, “he’s not going to make it four more years,” adding “he’s walking like an old man.”

    “I was in shock,” the person said. “It was like I was seeing something nobody else was seeing. … It was so obvious to me.”

    […]

    The former Biden official was struck by the moments the president seemed less like himself and worried about what it would mean about his ability to take on Trump. The former official came away from the event thinking to themselves: “I don’t know how that man’s going to debate next week.”

      That they think they’re going to lose because of Biden’s health instead of Biden’s execution of his office shows how far out of touch these people are. God it’s going to be a bloody 2030
