This man is NOT lucid even at midday and he is currently running for a presidential term that will not even end until 5 years from now
Good thing Signora Mussolini was there to rein him back in
But also it was funny watching everybody but Scholz react to him leaving with some panic. Scholz was in his own world
Obviously there is zero chance this mummy makes it another four years, but I’m starting to lean towards a scenario where the Dems send him away to live on a farm before the convention. Grandpa’s brain has to be like 75% pudding at this point and Trump is going to take him for a walk, even if he’s far from his former power levels.
For a while I was really believing what seems to be the more popular leftist commentator prediction that Biden will somehow win in November despite how terrible of a candidate he is, but I don’t think he will survive five more months of this kind of exposure. The administration is doing a terrible job of hiding him from cameras.
No way they do it before the election.
Their argument for the last 4 years has been “you may not like literally anything about him but he’s the only person that can beat trump”
Sticking in another equally unpopular person with the same policies might even get your average blue Maga to feel a sense of confusion.
He’s gonna be head of the ticket and be replaced immediatly after the election is called (assuming he wins).
Like votes happen Tuesday, election is officially called Friday, kamala replaces him in time to make the rounds on the Sunday shows.
I’m sure this is what the Dems are planning and hoping for at the moment, but to get to that stage they still have to win the election and therefore must have some confidence that the current ticket can beat Trump, which is the part that surprises me.
Obviously the reality is that those with enough power to do anything about the situation don’t really care who wins either way, it’s not like their lives will be negatively impacted by it.
Obviously if he abdicates then Kamala will be president for the remainder of the 2021-2024 term, but if he’s unable to assume office I doubt she can just be sworn in as president without any vice president. I’m not talking legally, I don’t know what the laws/rules/conventions are around this, but surely that would be the final straw for lots of Trumpets to make Jan 6th look like an “innocent” AOC shoe sniffing sesh.
Trumpers are fucking coward they aren’t going to do shit. They “thought” the election was stolen and all flocked to DC to overthrow the government and then one person shot one gun one time and the realization that there might be possible negative consequences was enough to send them all home.
Then they watched everybody involved get prison sentences while Trump completely abandoned them, after specifically telling them to do it.
They’d have a point that it was a bullshit power grab, but they’ve also said that about literally everything for the last 8 years up to and including Hunter getting charged.
They’d say it’s bullshit, be right for once and maybe understand the allegory of the boy who cried wolf, and libs would say it’s all good.
Kamala gets sworn in, probably chooses somebody like Pete or Buttigieg for vp, 80% of the country thinks it’s bullshit, and turbo mecha-hitler cruises to election on the republican ticket in 2028 after winning 40 states.
Section 3 of the 20th Amendment says the President or president elect. If Biden is elected and dies/resigns before inauguration, then Kamala Harris legally becomes president at inauguration
I don’t know how chuds would respond though. I don’t know if they hate Biden or Harris more. They seem to think Harris is a secret Marxist tankie or something, which would be really funny though
What if they’re throwing it? They can read polls as well as the rest of us and they know they’re not going to win. They don’t have any good candidates ready and even if they did that candidate would have the Biden dumpster fire as an albatross hanging around their neck for their entire campaign.
It could be a rational choice to let the senile fuckup take the blame this time, spend four years fundraising to save Our Democracy™ and then run a Buttigieg or whoever it is they really want. At that time people will have forgotten how awful Biden is because they will have been busy with how awful Trump is.
Letting Biden stay on long enough to lose even comes with the added benefit that they get to pin his unpopularity on his dementia rather than facing the reality that their policy is dogshit.
Shakily putting on the sunglasses like some kind of dementia David Caruso
Seeing him put on the sunglasses with a sustained facial expression of horror reminded me of
I was going to crop that part out too because I watched the video in 2x speed and then realized that he was putting on his sunglasses HALF as fast as I was seeing lmao
I thought for a second that it was in slow motion as an artistic touch added to the video, but then I noticed that everyone else was moving normally and lost it lmao
Thank god there was a Mussolini there to turn him back to the right.
at this point are libs just covering their eyes to shit like this? or are they still making increasingly twisted explanations or “buuuut trump poopy diaper!”?
im dying to know
imo, both dems and reps are ignoring it because they know if they call out the other guy, they can’t ignore their own. its like a gentleman’s agreement to ignore senility.
I think they are mostly covering their eyes. And if they’ve watched that vid and/or the Juneteenth video - they make a comment like they’d vote for Biden even if he were dead.
In addition to just doing the “but Trump’s cognitive decline!!” bit, there’s also a ton of “I’m forgetful too and I’m only 38!” or “let’s cut the guy some slack! Watch his SOTU speech and tell me he’s got cognitive decline!” which is just…yeah.
“The Emperor’s New Clothes” is an instruction manual for these freaks.
