Wall Street Journal releases scathing report about diminished Biden

[thaikhan]

The Wall Street Journal released a scathing report months after the New York Post reported about President Biden looking older and slower every day. Aides and insiders in the White House report about how they were instructed to deflect away from this while President Biden was campaigning and from the start of his Presidency. It's awesome that the Democrats knew of this from the start and were so power hungry that they did everything they could to keep their puppet on the throne. Yet they preach that they're better than the Republicans to pull shit like this. Laughable.

I knew Old Joe was senile four years ago, I made several posts on here and other forums but people called me a right-wing conspiracy theorist. Even Bob Woodward wrote about it in his recent book(War) but the left only focused on his criticism of Trump which is only one chapter.

It's pathetic that their defense is to try and claim what they're doing isn't as bad a Big Bad Trump. Their equivalency of saying that at least I gave you a kiss after bending you over against your will

Someone, probably an intern, was assigned to write a blurb about the WSJ article for a news aggregating outlet. They called it a "scathing report." But when you read the full article, it talks about gatekeeping by the staff closest to Biden.

Biden appears frail because he's old—we've known that for a while. He didn't look great even in the 2020 primaries, and we all saw the debate this past summer.

The worst that one can reasonably infer from the WSJ article is that Biden should have stepped away on his own long before the debate. Again, however, we've known that for some time. I'm having a hard time seeing the equivalence between a man not knowing when to call it a day and the mountain of criminality and corruption from the prick we just elected.

Below, I'm gifting a paywall-free link to that "scathing report" from the WSJ:

Gotta love when people make excuses for their overlords. It was some dumb intern. It wasn't the intern that was dumb but the Democrats who bought what their politicians were shoveling them. Exactly what I said would happen, happened. My guy's not as bad so it's okay. We only hid that he had no idea what he was doing. Do you know what happens when a judge is found to have lost his mental faculties while presiding over cases and cases already ruled on? And this is the President of the USA.  That is why the Democrats lost to President Trump, because they keep making excuses even though they knew President Biden wasn't fit for office. They keep thinking most of the USA is dumb enough to buy the shit they bought. It's insulting

I wasn't suggesting that anyone, intern or not, was "dumb." I was pointing out that your post's wording made it clear that you hadn't even read the article you were commenting on and that you presented scant information to support an opinion that you already held.

I was trying to fill in some of the blanks for you.

Well lately where is Biden?  Trump has practically been functioning as President, to the extent he can, before he officially is.  To me Biden has given up.
