Two really big important bills. Getting COVID shots to all and not undermining his own messaging on it.

He also delivered State if the Union addresses and was very sharp there.

So I don't buy this whole premise.

He read off a teleprompter for the SOTU addresses.

He had nothing to do with the legislation that passed. His legislative staff and Senators/Representatives got it done.

He’s been out of it his whole term and whoever he empowered to run the country has failed the country. His administration was abysmal. That’s why the American people fired him and his incompetent VP.

Well let’s see…I was laid off in 2020 when Trump was president due to his complete incompetence.

I have been steadily employed while Biden was in office and my 401k went up.

Not really sure what you are talking about.

So you got laid off during Covid and got a job in 2021 during Covid with a 401K. How did Biden help you get a job ?

Have we had a financial crisis under Biden? no. The last 2 financial crises were due to Republican presidents. Pay attention.

I would argue (and most Americans agree) that having the price of groceries increase 20% during Biden to be a financial crisis. Same with the 22% increase in rent since 2020.

Having to pay 20% more to feed and house a family is a financial crisis.

Well when Trump was President we couldn’t even find essential items.

Biden was cleaning up the covid mess Trump left behind. Inflation was/is global but of course you will only believe what you want to believe.

Good grief.

Covid was global too.

Biden did nothing to "clean up the covid mess." He was lucky to walk into office with a vaccination to lessen the severity.

Biden has been an utter disaster.

What were you expecting exactly after the Trump debacle/presidency?

No, he's not.
And you left wing Dems and left wing press have zero credibility now as you slither back under your rocks.

I have to agree.
DP

It's hysterical that RWNJs talk about anyone else having "zero credibility". Trump lies more than any President on record. The GOP's entire "platform" is based on BS. MAGA/GOP/Trump voters don't get to say jack about anyone else's credibility. LOL LOL LOL Typical MAGA/GOP projection.

Yes, we were lied to.

This isn't news. Anyone who has been paying attention the last 4 years knew Biden wasn't calling any shots from the beginning. He's been in cognitive decline well before his Presidency.

Go watch the Biden-Trump debates from 2020 - Biden held his own (especially in the first one, where Trump was completely off the wall). This year's debate was the moment everybody knew he was done, but he wasn't like this from the beginning.

How could you not see it? Because you didn't want to. So I have a hard time blaming the WH or even the media.

I do blame the WH and the media - but mostly I blame the types of people like many posters here, who gave new meaning to the term 'gaslight'. I remember being called all kinds of names for daring to point out the obvious. And let's not forget how Democrats in general treated Robert Hur after he wrote, Biden was an "elderly man with a poor memory." That statement is and was 100% true, but Democrats were having none of it and accused him of being politically motivated. Really disgusting behavior.

+1 There were posters claiming it was all due to his stuttering issues.

I just remember Biden at a welcoming ceremony to the UK about year ago, and he and the king were reviewing troops. Biden wandered off after they were finished and the bloody king of England dashed after him to recover the flub. The men are of similar age, but Biden was clearly out of it.

When someone has Parkinson's disease as Biden does, decline can accelerate quickly. Between September 2020 when the first debate was held and January 2021 when Biden was sworn in, there could have been decline that even then was being covered. The Parkinson markers were very noticeable in Biden's 2022 state of the union, when the aforementioned stuttering was more apparent than ever. If was after this that Biden was given some stock phrases to make him seem vigorous, most notably: "Remember, we are the United States of America and there is nothing we cannot do/achieve!!"

First, the amount of pearl-clutching about the supposed "insurrection" on 1/6/21 is ridiculous. If the most powerful military the world has ever seen was in danger of being defeated by a few hundred idiots, then our military needs more resources and training. This was a riot perpetrated by some morons. Our government was not in danger of being overthrown, everyone knows that and it's why J6 was not a big factor in many people's votes this year.

Second, it is interesting that when a riot endangers the very important people on Capitol Hill, it suddenly becomes a bad, terrifying thing. But when riots happened across our cities all throughout the summer of 2020, destroying property and endangering lives every night, it was all ok because it only affected the unwashed little people.

People criticizing J6 would have more credibility if they also criticized the summer 2020 riots happening every night. Riots are bad, period. There are not good riots and bad riots.

First of all, NOBODY is defending the 2020 arsonists and looters. They were separate from the BLM marchers/protesters. I know that is inconvenient for you, but it is the truth. You are making sweeping generalizations about nation-wide unrest and comparing it to a very specific event.

It is unfathomable to me that you can watch the footage of officers being beaten with flag poles and crushed in doors, the gallows and the calls to hang Pence…and you can actually say you don’t care, no big deal. Notice how republicans have really tamped down their “party of Blue Lives Matter” BS since then? Yet another catch phrase Trump has robbed them of, along with party of family values, party of small government.

Not sure you read my post. I didn't say I didn't care about J6. I said it was a riot perpetrated by idiots. I also said riots are bad. J6 was bad.

What I actually said was 2 things:
- our government was not going to be overthrown on J6, and everyone knows that
- the riots in summer 2020 were bad too, and I find it interesting that those wailing about J6 have nothing to say about the summer 2020 riots

DP
- you don’t know that, Pence might have caved, and was afraid to get in the car, and it’s irrelevant anyway
- because you’re trying to “whataboutism” and no one is defending any criminal activity anyway, you’re just looking for a fight

There has not been even 1% of the virtual ink on this board spilled over the 2020 riots as there has been about J6. Are people defending the 2020 riots? Possibly not but nobody seems very bothered by them either.

Lots of people remain bothered by them and they continue to influence political thinking. However, the left discusses politics in the retrospective "J6 was bad, scotus shouldn't have overturned Roe" while the right is future focused "let's fix the economy, let's secure the border." So from a right-wing worldview, ruminating over and over about something that occurred over 4 years ago seems bourgeois and indulgent.

OMG, ruminating over the fact that the former POTUS who incited and abetted an attempt to overturn a fair election to keep himself in power and has now been re-elected by an idiotic segment of our populous is bourgeois and indulgent. That is a new low in attempts to deflect on J6. I would LOL but it's just so pathetic and awful.

It is bourgeois and indulgent to focus this much political energy on an event that happened in the past, unless there had been no justice. But, that's not what happened. Those people went to jail and received unusually harsh punishments for their crimes and misdemeanors. Trump was thoroughly investigated by many authorities looking for evidence he committed a crime related to J6. So, action was taken. Yet we are repeatedly told that every other political concern is invalid due to J6. No one can worry about the economy because of J6, nor the border, nor crime. The only valid political concern is something that is over and done with. But, real people have real concerns that you people just dismiss because you're obsessed with an event in the past that can't be changed. It's like the Ds exist inside a PTSD flashback and are totally paralyzed, unable to move forward or even offer a vision od what moving forward would look like.

+ a million
Also, why do Ds continue to "whatabout" constantly when the subject of this thread is BIDEN and the gaslighting by Democrats who sought to cover up his cognitive decline?

because it is preposterous to have this conversation in light of Trump being the incoming president.Do you think he is not in some kind of cognitive decline? Not to mention in very poor physical condition. And very old, and in no way shape or form have the capacity or capability to be president.

Would Trump get hired at your company?

Then start your own thread - better yet, add your rants to one of the dozens and dozens of existing Trump threads. This one is about Biden’s aides - and Democrats in general - covering up his decline. Deal with it.

DP. Um… everyone knew Biden had declined WELL before the 2024 debates. The difference is, Democrats tried to cover it up and gaslit anyone who dared to mention it. Remember the Robert Hur witch hunt when he dared to state the obvious?

Face it, this article is so damning to Democrats. We all knew about the incessant gaslighting - this only confirms it.

Nope. He’s been in mental decline before his Presidency. It’s only accelerated since he took office. Anyone who was watching unedited clips of him knew this. Of course if you only watched or read liberal MSM you wouldn’t know this because this truth was inconvenient. Why do you think his handlers kept him in his basement during his first campaign? Why do you think the liberal media only asks him softball questions? Did you ever watch him when he was unscripted? He seemed unaware of his surroundings, would shake hands with air, would wonder off, would spout incomprehensible jibberish, etc. It’s been obvious to anyone who was paying attention and watching unbiased and unedited media. His disastrous performance at his last debate with Trump was just icing on the cake. It was quite funny to watch liberals/Democrats/celebrities pretend to go nuts after watching that debate calling for his removal like they weren’t aware that Biden was not all there cognitively.

Sorry to burst your lib bubble, but Obama will go down as the worst President in modern times. The damage he did to this country will be felt for decades. His divisive and flawed domestic policies that left common sense at the door and a failed and weak foreign policy that left the world a very dangerous place that you see today.

I know why Biden was kept in the basement during his first campaign...because of the pandemic. Remember when Trump almost died of Covid in October 2020?
