There was a need for the majority of the US to make it clear to the world, most of us aren't like that. Most of us think differently.

In Biden's case, no one is worshipping him. There are some who are wanting to keep his dementia a little under wraps until he can either somehow be medically helped, or removed from office.

And in this case, it's not a matter of us distancing ourselves as a people from the President. It's a matter of keeping it on the downlow and getting through it.
So the TDS afflicted traded Trump, a man who makes stupid tweets, paints his face orange, and is obnoxious and rude, and replaced him with a dangerously senile president who has a history of being wrong on every foreign policy for over forty years, who is now getting innocent people killed.

And that's what the democrats, faced with staying in the house and watching it burn, and picking a man who, after he was chosen by primary, was clearly unfit to serve for 4 years.
Oh my, the drama


Perhaps the dems should stop lighting the fires that you speak of.

Yep. Out of all of the many administrations I'd lived through, he was the only president who'd actually been referred to as "the one", the "messiah", and worshiped as such by his followers.

Doesn't seem smart, does it, to purposely air evidence that our president is struggling?

Are we so divided that the right wing wants purposely to expose us as weak, to the world?
This is, quite possibly, the most astonishing thing I've ever seen "spoken" here on C-D.

The President of the United States of America is, by your own admission, "weak" and "struggling." You knew this, yet you voted for him. And now, you want the entire country to cover for him, so the rest of the world doesn't find out just how weak and struggling he is.

For starters, they already know. It's as obvious as the nose on my face. But beyond that, how have we come to this point? You are actually saying that our leader, the man that was elected to be the primary executive in charge of this country, is so addled that he cannot fulfil his duties, and that we must "cover" for him. Do you even begin to comprehend how insanely dangerous this is? Not to mention, why should we be complicit in attempting to hide his condition, when doing so only serves to make us even weaker?

I don't fault Biden for losing control of his mental faculties. This can happen to anyone, and it is completely beyond his control. I too would like to see him get the care he needs so that he can live out his life as comfortably as possible. But this country needs a leader whose cognitive functions are intact. We can't keep doing Weekend at Bernie's for the rest of his term. It won't work. And it's far more dangerous than the world finding out that our president is losing control of his mind.

Biden's condition needs to be exposed. The corrupt, complicit media needs to do its job and let us see who our president is and what he is doing. If he is unfit to perform his duties, he MUST be removed from office. Much as I dislike Kamala Harris, one of the reasons we have a vice president is for precisely a situation such as this. Biden needs to be removed and Harris needs to be elevated to the presidency. Now. And the whole world needs to see it.

Yep. Because Orange Man Bad and #meantweets is apparently worse than American citizens being held hostage and Afghan civilians falling to their deaths from our planes.

The more I see Democrats (by no means all of them, thankfully) defend Biden after this mess, the more I realize just how much they hate this country and millions of her people.

Was Trump incoherent in the part they edited out? Please provide the transcript.

Fully 15% of Biden voters would not have voted for him if they had learned of Hunter's laptop and references to 10% to "the big guy." That alone would have swung the election to Trump, which is why the liberal media hid it.

Methinks you jumped out of the frying pan into the fire...

Agree. Our goal should not be to hide the degree to which our president is struggling mentally as he battles dementia. Our goal is to see that America is led by someone with an intact brain, who has the best interests of America at heart. (Unfortunately, that isn't Kamala, either. We as a country are in deep doo-doo, and the fault lies primarily with the complicit liberal media and secondarily with the cheating on Election Day, and Election Day After.)

That's why when I've discussed this with liberals, they always say that Trump didn't do a thing. Sure.....that's what the liberal media WANTED them to think!

Now it's the opposite. The media is hiding Biden's remarks because to air them would show the state of dementia (or simple cluelessness) he has. He actually said that nobody has been killed by the Taliban!

He needs to be removed, and fast, before he can do any more damage. Of course, then we get the inept and immoral Kamala, but after a year of her, she can be impeached as well. By the 2022 Republican Congress.
excellent post, outta reps.
