What a sad spectacle to watch Old Joe asking if the deceased Rep. Jackie Walorski was in attendance at an event yesterday. Someone who he expressed condolences for when she passed away a month ago. He has really lost it. It's frightening that a person asking for dead people is presiding over the country. Classic dementia symptoms. And he won't rule out running for re-election in 2024. Imagine his mental state in another couple of years. His family should intervene and protect him from further humiliation. If Trump had asked if a dead person was in attendance at some event, the media would have howled for the 25th Amendment to be invoked. It would have been the lead story for weeks. But nary a whimper in the coverup of Biden cognitive limitations.
Actually, it is a pretty big story.
it's possible he didn't know Jackie Walorski very well. Even though he spoke about his condolences a month before, he would do the same for any of the 435 congressmen who had passed away. I think something like this might happen to a 40 year old.
Still, I now think the Democrats should and will nominate someone else for 2024. Too bad because I think Joseph Biden is a good and decent man, well above the average politician. And I will always be grateful to him for seeing the danger, deciding to run against Trump and beating him, possibly saving democracy. Although that remains to be seen.
Of course, Trump has many gaffs of his own. Like saying in a July fourth speech about how the Americans beat the British in the American Revolutionary War by "holding the airports". "Our Army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rocket’s red glare it had nothing but victory. And when dawn came, their star-spangled banner waved defiant."
Manned the air? Took over the airports? Rammed the ramparts? Man, that will dislocate some shoulders.
If an elderly man speaking nonsense should disqualify a man for running for President, than both Trump and Biden should be disqualified. But you are not logically consistent. To you it must be Trump. Someone who holds the same views as Trump will not do. It must be Trump because if he is elected, he will do whatever it takes to keep his regime (using his selected successors) in power, regardless of how future votes go. On that score, DeSantis is an unknown. So it must be Trump.
What are the Republicans long term prospects, giving the shifting demographics of America, if this is not done? If democracy is not subverted? Republicans, in the current form, might only have one more Presidential win in the future. And if so, that win must be decisive. It must be Trump.
