Aides, foreign leaders, donors and members of Congress say President Biden has seemed slower and more often loses his train of thought in recent months, though close aides insist he remains mentally sharp.

    Felix said it best, everyone saying “just give him until the September debate” as if the time is what solves dementia.

    The Trillbilly boys are betting he dies before the election (inshallah)

      I hope he sticks around just long enough to become cognizant of losing to Trump, and then he crumbles to dust like he drank from the wrong grail

        I don’t think him losing to Trump will phase him. He will peacefully transition the office and be proud of it because he knows Trump will continue the policies he instated, just as he did for Trump.

      Seriously

      Literally we called him “Joe Hiden” during the latter portion of the 2020 primary and the election

      Because the more he was seen publicly the more people were like “holy shit this guy is demented!”

        They never even understood that Biden one not just because Covid reflected badly on the Trump admin, but because it allowed him to hide and not canpaign! It wasn’t even Biden winning, it was judt Trump losing

      There’s something I don’t understand though. Biden has been like this for a long time. He does whatever the ruling class wants (except resign). Are they really turning against him because of a bad debate performance? I can remember him having shitty debate performances in 2019. The bourgeoisie also don’t really seem to have a backup plan. Kamala is even less popular than Biden is, and incumbents usually win elections, so is there some sort of ulterior purpose…?

    Honestly I’m sad this is happening now rather than when he was re elected. Not because I want him to be re elected but because it would be way funnier if he had been elected and then immediately went into 4 years of ever worsening and ever funnier decline

    I could almost excuse the liberal pearl clutching at this as ignorance if Biden was at least kind in public, but for the past 6 years almost every public interaction, scripted or not, Biden has been atrocious. Even when he’s lucid, he insults people, is mean on purpose, and dismisses legitimate concerns and issues people ask him about.

        When starvation came, old people were commiting suicide and claiming they are “going to hunt”, “going to wood to forage”, “going on the road”. Then women. Then children were killed/discarded in woods/dropped at church. I bet some of my ancestors also died like that since i’m coming from poor peasantry. (not only in Poland ofc, basically every country have such stories)

        Dark card of history, useful to remind in case of burning hatred for landowners falling below acceptable level. Also worth to remember when some primitivist scum advocate for return to subsistence farming.

    Hey, I spent a lot of money. I’m not some nobody. Where’s my access!

    Donors have complained that Biden’s team has barred them from asking questions even at small group events, unusual at high-dollar political fundraisers.

    Tennis shoes are presidental?

    Biden also sometimes wears tennis shoes and uses a shorter series of steps to Air Force One, to reduce the chances he might trip.

    This tidbit is at the very end of the article.

    At the White House nine days before the debate, four people who were present said they worried about the president’s fitness after observing him at a celebratory gathering to announce a new policy to help immigrants.

    Under the sparkling chandeliers in the East Room on June 18, the president seemed off. He appeared frail as he navigated to the stage before the packed crowd of more than 100 people. He sometimes mumbled. In one jarring moment, he appeared to freeze while introducing Mayorkas, and then waved it off as a joke. A White House aide said the difficulty with Mayorkas’s name in that moment stemmed from Biden’s stutter.

    Aides reportedly said it was Biden being Biden.

    But others at the event said lawmakers and other attendees whispered concerns about Biden’s fitness over iced tea at the White House afterward, as a mariachi band played.

    “Everyone talked about it with each other,” said a former Biden administration official who attended the event. “We were all like ‘That was horrible. We’re going to lose the election.’”

    An advocate who was in the room recalled saying to others after the event, “he’s not going to make it four more years,” adding “he’s walking like an old man.”

    “I was in shock,” the person said. “It was like I was seeing something nobody else was seeing. … It was so obvious to me.”

    […]

    The former Biden official was struck by the moments the president seemed less like himself and worried about what it would mean about his ability to take on Trump. The former official came away from the event thinking to themselves: “I don’t know how that man’s going to debate next week.”

      That they think they’re going to lose because of Biden’s health instead of Biden’s execution of his office shows how far out of touch these people are. God it’s going to be a bloody 2030

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
