Geriatric Joe Biden freaks out DC just as much as he does voters
A worrying new Wall Street Journal report confirms that Joe Bidenās stumbling, fumbling and bumbling have not only unnerved America ā theyāve undermined faith in him across the corridors of power in DC.
Thatās among GOPers and Dems alike, though lefty journos are mid-meltdown that the Journal would dare to quote Republicans for the story, as if they donāt deserve to comment on the obvious decline of the most powerful man in the world.
But national Democrats and their proxies are circling the wagons for good reason: Apparently, Geriatric Joeās gotten so mentally feeble he needs the equivalent of cue cards to handle meetings.Ā
Like one on Ukraine funding, when he took 10 minutes to circumnavigate the room and then started things off by reading out kindergarten-obvious points.
The scene was so bad one participant said, āYou couldnāt be there and not feel uncomfortable.ā
Oof.
Worse, he gets confused about the effects of his own policies.
Like in a one-on-one with House Speaker Mike Johnson, who pointed out that a Biden hold on liquid-natural-gas-export permitting was already hurting the country.
Biden responded by claiming incorrectly the already-in-effect hold was simply a study.Ā
During 2023 debt-ceiling talks, he kept forgetting what had already been discussed and re-raising old issues, per then-Speaker Rep. Kevin McCarthy ā while also repeating tales from his past and speaking so softly he was almost inaudible.Ā
Now, this shouldnāt surprise anyone.Ā
Between his constant verbal fumbles, endless wander-offs and bouts of confused aggression, all in public, itās beyond clear to everyone with eyes and ears that Bidenās been on a steep downslope for months, if not years.Ā
Heck, the guy canāt keep Putin and Xi straight in his head, as in a recent Time interview in which he also ājokinglyā threatened a reporter.Ā
And his performance with special counsel Robert Hur was so disastrous the administration had to classify the audio for totally bogus reasons to keep it out of the publicās ears.
Even the cleaned-up transcript struck deathblows against the idea that Biden is as fit as ever.Ā Ā
Hur himself as much as said Bidenās having gone gaga is the only reason he wasnāt prosecuting him for document crimes.Ā
Sure explains why Biden only ever seems to do live media as quick-hit pressers in the middle of the day.Ā
And why the vast majority of Americans think ā or rather know ā heās just not up to the job.Ā
