During a crucial appearance on BET, Joe Biden seemed to forget the name of Defense Sec. Lloyd Austin, instead referring to him as “the black man.”
Furthermore, Biden’s speech slurring is audible. There’s no escaping him. Completely disorganized.
“BIDEN: Consequently, treating people with dignity is the most important thing. Furthermore, it’s about ensuring that we show up. Take, for example, the criticism I’m receiving for naming Ketanji Brown, a black guy who serves as the secretary of defense. It’s important to emphasize that black history is part of American history.”
Right now, the ferocity of press attention surrounding Trump is the only thing keeping Joe Biden alive. The plan was for this week to be Biden’s return. In an attempt to persuade Democratic politicians, corporate media, and fundraisers that he is capable of unseating Trump in Nov., he has already conducted two high-profile interviews. Recall that defeating Trump is the sole goal of this. Biden’s mental decline, which has been evident for years, has nothing to do with the outrage of the organized left. Even if Biden were five points ahead of Trump, we would still hear about his sharpness.
Biden’s NBC appearance earlier this week was another five-alarm fiasco, on top of repeating the assassination dog whistle known as the “Very Fine People Hoax” Testy and defensive, Biden frequently lost his line of thought and scrambled for words.
Under the Trump News Tornado lies a torrent of calls that are equally serious, demanding that Biden resign and pledge not to seek reelection in November. Representative Adam Schiff (Dem-CA), who is quite likely to be a sitting US Senator in the upcoming year, publicly demanded that Biden resign.
Furthermore, purposeful leaks from Senate Majority Leader Schumer (Dem-NY) and Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) indicate that Biden must resign for the party’s sake. Although both have refuted their claims, nobody should or does trust them.
The recent COVID-19 diagnosis worsened Biden’s situation (despite his continued public appearances without a mask). This may go either way. He might use the China Flu as an excuse to resign, or he could blame it for another awful week. In any case, I really hope he recovers completely and painlessly.
Just my two pennies worth: They kept waiting too long. The issue was that Democrats and the media had been waiting for too long. They believed that by lying, gaslighting, and hiding Biden’s mental deterioration, they could bring him to the finish line in November. However, it might be too late now. To begin with, the Democratic National Convention is fast approaching. Secondly, based on my personal experience with dementia, I believe it’s plausible that Biden’s cognitive decline is too profound to explain.
Dementia symptoms include defensiveness, irritability, unreasonableness, and a reluctance to act in the best interests of the patient.
