Title: Jackie, Jackie are you here?
Post by: Richard Smith on September 29, 2022, 01:40:10 PM
What a sad spectacle to watch Old Joe asking if the deceased Rep. Jackie Walorski was in attendance at an event yesterday.  Someone who he expressed condolences for when she passed away a month ago.  He has really lost it.  It's frightening that a person asking for dead people is presiding over the country.  Classic dementia symptoms.  And he won't rule out running for re-election in 2024.  Imagine his mental state in another couple of years.  His family should intervene and protect him from further humiliation.  If Trump had asked if a dead person was in attendance at some event, the media would have howled for the 25th Amendment to be invoked.  It would have been the lead story for weeks.  But nary a whimper in the coverup of Biden cognitive limitations.

Actually, it is a pretty big story.

it's possible he didn't know Jackie Walorski very well. Even though he spoke about his condolences a month before, he would do the same for any of the 435 congressmen who had passed away. I think something like this might happen to a 40 year old.

Still, I now think the Democrats should and will nominate someone else for 2024. Too bad because I think Joseph Biden is a good and decent man, well above the average politician. And I will always be grateful to him for seeing the danger, deciding to run against Trump and beating him, possibly saving democracy. Although that remains to be seen.

Of course, Trump has many gaffs of his own. Like saying in a July fourth speech about how the Americans beat the British in the American Revolutionary War by "holding the airports". "Our Army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rocket’s red glare it had nothing but victory. And when dawn came, their star-spangled banner waved defiant."

Manned the air? Took over the airports? Rammed the ramparts? Man, that will dislocate some shoulders.

If an elderly man speaking nonsense should disqualify a man for running for President, than both Trump and Biden should be disqualified. But you are not logically consistent. To you it must be Trump. Someone who holds the same views as Trump will not do. It must be Trump because if he is elected, he will do whatever it takes to keep his regime (using his selected successors) in power, regardless of how future votes go. On that score, DeSantis is an unknown. So it must be Trump.

What are the Republicans long term prospects, giving the shifting demographics of America, if this is not done? If democracy is not subverted? Republicans, in the current form, might only have one more Presidential win in the future. And if so, that win must be decisive. It must be Trump.

I remember Trump got the state he was in incorrect. He talked about the "oranges of the investigation". He said his father (who was born in NYC) was born in Germany (his grandfather was). Just gaffe after gaffe; the supporters thought it endearing.

I think Nancy Reagan was like an unofficial-President during Reagan's last two years as President. She would sometimes feed him words. He didn't enact any social programs for the poor or fix anything like immigration, so nobody much noticed as he served out his term as a figurehead.

Will they start distributing Ouija boards at Biden events now that he is seeing dead people?  Of all the sad sights during his administration, this one was hard to watch.  Anyone has to feel bad for him.  He is in obvious cognitive decline.  His family should intervene soon to spare him the humiliation.  Unfortunately, that would leave us with Kamala who, despite not having dementia, knows even less about what is going than Old Joe.  Her trip to S. Korea was downright bizarre.  She is dumb as a rock.

If Trump were talking to dead people and struggling to figure out how to get off the stage at every single event, the media would be in an uproar claiming he had a stroke or brain tumor.  The story would run night and day suggesting that they invoke the 25th Amendment.  Trump once carefully walked down a slick ramp with no handrail and the media speculated that he had Parkinson's disease.  Some conspiracy theorists on this forum continue to make such bizarre claims.  I feel bad for Biden.  He was used by the radicals to get power because none of their nutty candidates could win.  They put up an old, white guy with dementia who they have used as a puppet.  The entire world is now suffering.

Many dead people over the decades have voted for Dems.  Particularly in places like Chicago.  So maybe Old Joe is just reaching out to his constituents.

The "seeing dead people" incident appears to be the last straw even among the few Biden supporters.  It is abundantly clear that he is suffering full blown cognitive decline.  Many radical leftists don't want him to run in 2024 and this is a very good excuse to undermine him.  They didn't mind electing an old, white guy who barely can walk and can't remember where he is on many occasions.  Anything to get rid of Trump in their opinion.  So the entire world has suffered disaster after disaster, but the light is at the end of the tunnel.  The Repubs will take the House and maybe the Senate back in a few weeks.  Enough to shut down the woke spending that has driven inflation and tanked the economy.  Too late for the millions who lost their retirement savings, but better late than never.

Maybe Old Joe was asking for Jackie Kennedy?  Oh wait, she is dead too.

Maybe Old Joe was asking if Jackie Chan was in the audience.  At least he is still alive even if his career is not.

A common MAGA claim is that Joseph Biden was too old to become President in 2021. Biden was born on November 20, 1942. So when he was sworn in as President he was 78 years and 2 months old.

Trump was born on June 14, 1946. If he is elected in 2024, he will be 78 years and 7 months old when he is sworn in.

So how is it that Biden was too old to be President but Trump will not be too old in 2025?

Biden is unusually healthy for an 80 year old man. He does not smoke or drink alcohol. He can still ride a bicycle, which is very unusual for someone who is 80.

In contrast, Trump is not particularly healthy for his age. He too does not smoke or drink alcohol. But he is clearly overweight. His exercise seems to consist of riding around in a golf cart and playing golf. If he walked and carried his own golf clubs, it would be different. But still not equivalent to riding a bicycle. And Stephen Colbert called Trump "The Count of Mostly Cristo" which, given Trump's obvious physical condition, is a pretty good description.

Signs of Biden's "dementia" are not particularly strong. Forgetting a congresswoman had recently died? There are over 400 members of congress. She might have been someone he didn't know that well. With a lot going on in his life, yes, it's possible for someone to forget the passing of a causal acquittance. The same might happen to someone who is 40. Introducing his sister to a crowd while pointing at his wife? While facing the crowd, it's possible someone might forget whether his sister was off to his right or his left, and is mostly concentrating on making a connection with the audience. Mistakes are bound to be made when one makes a lot of speeches.

For 2024, it's important for the Democrats to have the strongest possible candidate to run. Because, barring a sudden downturn in Trump's health, making it impossible for him to run, the Democratic candidate is going to have to beat Donald Trump. And the survival of democracy depends on Trump losing that election. Because of his age, Biden is not the ideal candidate. It's an issue the Republicans can use. But I'm not certain there is a stronger candidate. Although Gavin Newsom looks pretty good to me.

Biden is a good President and would be a good president for 2025-2029. And he is not Trump. But I want the strongest possible candidate to be running in 2024.

It's not strictly a question of age.  Biden has had two brain operations.  He clearly has some type of cognitive issue.  Even Dems can't deny that his behavior is bizarre.  Likely dementia.  Many people in their 80s can be fully functional.  Biden is not one of those people.  His family should intervene to spare him further humiliation.  Trump is a cognitive genius compared to Biden.

And while other Republicans, like Governor Ron DeSantis, hold very similar views to Donald Trump on the various issues, and, unlike Trump or Biden, have no problem with being too old, DeSantis will only be 46 years old in January 2025, only Trump gives the MAGA crowd what they need. A clear distain for the law, a clear distain for the will of the people, and will struggle as hard as he can to get his appointed successor elected in 2028, by declaring invalid the 2028 election, if need be. And establish an Authoritarian state in America. Like the one the Russians are enjoying now.

What Trump gave America was results.  No wars, controlling the border, low gas prices, no inflation, and a booming stock market.   All that has gone to smash under Old Joe.  A complete disaster.  No one, not even the most radical Dem, can suggest that things are going better in America.  Disliking Trump is not grounds to destroy the entire country.  He might be a SOB but who cares if he is a nice guy?  Liking Old Joe doesn't solve any problems.  He has been a disaster.  If he had any competent people in his administration, perhaps it wouldn't matter.  But he has surrounded himself with woke amateurs based on gender, race, and sexual orientation.  Complete buffoons.  We are on the brink of war with Russia.  N. Korea is firing missiles across Japan.  China is closing in on Taiwan and we have a bunch of incompetents in charge.  A dangerous situation.  DeSantis is a viable candidate in 2024.  No republican is ruling him out.  Almost anything is an improvement over PaPa Joe and Kamala.

The leftist media has recently pivoted from trying to convince voters that abortion and "Jan. 6" would lead the Dems to victory to preparing them for a landslide defeat.  The bottom has dropped out of the polls for Dems.  Even support among women and minorities is flagging.  A terrible sign for the Dems.  Maybe next time they will focus on real problems (the ones they created) instead of living in some type of alternative reality.
