He sounds and looks like shit. When he takes questions - he’s an angry old man. A bad look.

      Red Biden. Podium was there for protection, THEIR protection. Fiery old men are not to be fucked with.

      get a load of this

      This level of delusion is embarassing. Oh, yeah, Biden is so tough and we’re all so scared of his strong fisticuffs. Reminds me of those chuds portraying Trump as muscular with a massive dong that all the Dems drool over.

      If a big budget movie had come out when Obama was president and the fictional president was Biden-like so he was a tired, old, frail man gaffe machine- every member of blueanon would be offended. They’d be outraged and rant that such a man could never become president. And - quite frankly - not only is it unrealistic it’s very disrespectful and not representative of the Office of the Presidency. Does the director hate America?

      They’d do stuff brigade the movie at Imdb and rate it a one. And they’d stay angry.

    My brain is not rancid Delaware clam chowder. That’s a damn lie. Pardon my parle-vu.

    11:37 “The president of Mexico - Sisi…”

    12:35 He forgot the word Hezbollah. He made them seem part of the MCU. “[Israel’s] archenemy to the northwest… northeast I should say.”

    Biden has sat immobile, his body slowly crumbling, within the White House of Terra for over 10,000 standard years. Although once a living man, his shattered, decaying body can no longer support life, and it is kept intact only by the cybernetic mechanisms of the White House and a feeble mind itself sustained by the daily sacrifice of thousands of lives.

            I can’t believe he said Sisi is the president of Mexico. He’s supposed to reassure us he’s fine and he messes up in front of a press pool that in most circumstances would be predisposed to overlook that.

              I’m getting two vibes from Biden.

              1. An angry old man at a Denny’s lecturing the waitress about how she got his order wrong and in his day such mistakes would not be tolerated. You’d be out on your ass pronto, missy. Lookin’ for new job.

              2. Hillary 2.0. Why is everybody rude to me and calling me “old”? I’m the President of the United States gosh darn it. I deserve respect and it’s my turn again.

              I think that framing lets Biden off too easy. If he mixes up heads of state, that’s bad, but Sisi only came into power 6 years after Biden hit retirement age. Thing is, Biden said Mexico in the context of allowing aid into Gaza. That’s mishemisphering a country that’s been there his whole life, which is a whole other league of yikes.

      • Well, as sad as it is, it often does make people very irritable. I can’t imagine what it is like to forget but have this feeling that you must have forgotten because people are frustrated at you. Every person I’ve known with dementia became easily frustrated and angrier than before when the situation became frustrating. It’s why caretakers who can keep people happy are so impressive, even when people forget the way to the bathroom.

        But fuck Biden. Idgaf if he has dementia or not honestly

    That thread is delusional. Even if this is a hit job like they’re suggesting in it, they’re not recognizing how effective of one it is. The Dems are completely sunk at this point.

    Biden, even if it is just a stutter, is unable to defend against these allegations because every time he tries, it just seems to dig the hole deeper.

    He will get bullied hard if there is going to be a presidential debate, people will laugh at him.

    They need to ditch him lol, but they’re not going to

      The problem is who they’d ditch him for. Kamala is even less popular. Mayo Pete got like 0% of the black vote in the primaries IIRC. The only other obvious option would be hillary and it’d be comical to run her against Trump again.

      I kind of doubt ditching him would even matter at this point. The damage is done. I think too many people are going to drift to Trump.

      They also can’t do what they did in 2020 and let him disappear for months at a time. He’s actually in office. He can’t go away for the summer while they campaign and come back with surgical scars in September.

      They could have allowed for a primary to take place, done debates, embraced democracy, and let any of the strong primary challengers take their rightful nomination.

      But NO, Biden’s EGO told him that good presidents get 2 terms, and that’s all he gives a damn about at this point. We’re doomed.

      Biden is literally the only Dem capable of losing to Trump, and they’re forcing him upon us. Fuck the DNC for enabling this mess, and fuck their corporate donors for pressuring them to do so.

        I insisted on getting the full experience at 1x

        You monster. Seriously though - I think one of the reasons people think he’s too old is he sounds too old. He reminds everybody of their elderly neighbor or relative who takes forever to finish talking.

        2x

        I’m old and I like to listen to the news as I do other stuff like watch speed chess. At 2x I feel like I’m senile. Everything falls apart. I’ve got Biden’s brain.

        What did I just listen to? What did he say? And… Wait a minute. How did white just get checkmate? What the hell? I thought his queen was blocked by his own pawn.
