Interesting details are coming about a damming book on the true state of Joe Biden's mental fitness during his presidency and his expected and failed re-election bid. Some serious straight talk from top Democrats about how Biden ****** up, stole an election from the American people and the true state of his overall decline.
This was a point I had long argued prior, Democrats couldn't in good standing talk about how dangerous Trump (he is) was while also saying Biden was the guy to get it done. It was sad, it was pathetic and it was wrong. Everybody who wasn't mentally ill or a hyper partisan could actually see that Joe Biden was no in position to be re-elected or even making serious decisions as President.
The Democratic leadership and legacy will forever be tarnished over this fumble. America made it's choice in 2024 but they were not given the proper option for nearly 50% of the country. A lot of government Democrats are deciding now is the best time to speak up and point the finger but when normal, rational and pragmatic people brought up concerns, they were vilified.

It's about as fair to say that 'Americans buy it' as it is to say Alberta is anti vax measles spreader. Same brush and all that.
That said, his cult following is significant. And their blind faith is truly amazing. Had a guy doing some work in my home. When the topic came up, he said 'well, I don't have any idea what he is doing, but I know he is doing it for me'. And as expected, though he's 50+ years old, he had never voted before in his life until the last 3 elections.

There was another option besides Trump, America just decided against it. Now they can suffer for it.

Biden’s mental fitness? Funny, they don’t seem to have an issue with Trump’s very obvious cognitive decline. Or the fact that he’s a rapist and a criminal with the IQ of a potato.

The only thing I blame Biden for is not exercising his Supreme Court gifted superpowers.

Why are people still yammering on about Biden? Nobody gives a flying f*** about any of that stuff anymore. American voters were faced with what should have been the easiest choice ever in the 2024 election: fascism or no fascism. Unfortunately they chose fascism, and now they’re suffering the consequences, as is the rest of the free world.

The Democratic Party is to blame! Please ignore every enabler in the Republican Party though. The ones actually not doing their jobs because they are giant ####ing cowards, ####s, creeps, and criminals. Very Bill Maher.

One senior aide, who quit the White House because they did not think Biden should run, admits to the authors that “we attempted to shield him from his own staff so many people didn’t realize the extent of the decline beginning in 2023”.

I blame these idiots for blindly supporting their leader despite all of the signs they saw. Many knew what was happening. So frustrating.

Kamala would have been an absolutely fine POTUS. Smart, educated, logical, energized and most importantly, had integrity. America missed out. It’s too bad the people down there lost the ability to critically think since the right decided to swan dive off the crazy end and bring all of the uneducated rubes with them.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, posted photos on Sunday of himself and his grandchildren swimming in a contaminated Washington creek where swimming is not allowed because it is used for sewer runoff. Flows with sewage and bacteria.
I read that headline and thought 'thats an Onion article' nope, it was the New York Times.

Promoting the racist talking point of a white genocide and accepting white "refugees" (lol) from South Africa with open arms. Utterly awful and what's more wild is that they aren't hiding it and how many people are more than happy to see it happening.
There will be zero pushback from the media or alleged opposition party. Good times all around

In a striking move that ends a nearly four-decades-old relationship between the federal government and the Episcopal Church, the denomination announced on Monday that it is terminating its partnership with the government to resettle refugees, citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa who have been classified as refugees by President Trump's administration.
In a#letter sent to members#of the church, the Most Rev. Sean W. Rowe — the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church — said that two weeks ago, the government "informed Episcopal Migration Ministries that under the terms of our federal grant, we are expected to resettle white Afrikaners from South Africa whom the U.S. government has classified as refugees."
The request, Rowe said, crossed a moral line for the Episcopal Church, which is part of the global Anglican Communion.
In light of our church's steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties with the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, we are not able to take this step," Rowe wrote. "Accordingly, we have determined that, by the end of the federal fiscal year, we will conclude our refugee resettlement grant agreements with the U.S. federal government."

No kidding. If anything it seems like Trump's mental decline appears to be pretty rapid. Makes you wonder who's really going to be pulling the strings for a lot of this presidency.

You know when trump announced he wanted them reopen Alcatraz out of the blue...someone went and looked, turns out the Escape From Alcatraz movie was on local TV in the Mar a Lardo viewing area the night before. Hes highly suggestible that way.

As part of the red-carpet treatment, Saudi officials arranged for a fully operational mobile McDonald’s unit to accompany President Trump during his stay.
According to local reports, the unit was set up near the Saudi Royal Court.
