Biden is lost.

Democrats have no backup plan.

Kamala? No.

Michelle? Hahaha... no.
Hillary? No.
Well who? Just none!!!

And the puppetmasters in charge of Biden (Soros/Obama/Jill) just won't let go of power.

Trump by a HUGE landslide!

I chuckle at the Democrats who try to explain this. "He's going over to give a Thumb's Up to the parachustist's aid!!"
There is no focus in Biden, none at all. Easily distracted and prone to wandering. What kind of ailment of age does that suggest to everyone?

Interesting that it was the ultra far right Mussolini wannabe that deftly handled him and kept him from making a bigger fool of himself. I am certain that those of us who rely on our media to provide labels for everyone have no real clue who these people are.

Anyone who thinks that the global chaos of the last 3 years is not related to foreign perceptions of personal weakness in our Commander in Creep is delusional. It absolutely matters. It doesn't just show personal weakness, but cultural and electoral weakness as well.

"meanwhile our largest oil supplier has decided not to accept our currency"

Massive news. Colossal news. A sea change that will affect the global economy for years to come. Hardly a blip from the MSM. And also related to perceptions of personal weakness in our CinCreep, as above.

Red Wave, just around the corner !

I don't trust Biden, or his dementia, or his senility, or most importantly: His handlers.

He can shamble all he wants, grin vacantly all he can. Watch the debate and decide how much of this is an act, how much of it can be fixed (temporarily) with a needle.

But wish-casting a landslide of people voting against it, is repeating a mistake that was made 4 years ago - in my opinion. His handlers are not senile.

rhhardin said...

Biden will win. Ballot harvesting is the trick.

It's just the British system, with a powerless figurehead king and power in the parliament and its majority leaders.

“Absolutely ridiculous.

1. The video does show the rigger.
2. Why would his handler need to spring into action to physically turn him and point him in the right direction, as if he were a child?

Jersey Fled said...

You know, Meloni has the gonads to just come out and spill the beans on Joe’s performance this week.

Wonder if she’ll do it.

I love Italian women.

Bob Boyd said...

Remember in the 2020 campaign when Biden promised if elected, he wouldn't seek a 2nd term because he would be too old? And the media were saying Kamala would be President in four short years?
It was bullshit, of course.

They’re eating the cats — They’re eating the dogs said...

Biden didn't "wander off".

After viewing a skydiving demo with the other G7 leaders, Biden stepped aside to speak with one of the skydivers who is kneeling on the ground packing away his chute.

The video in the above post has been digitally altered to remove the skydiver.

Bob Boyd said...

@ Meade
I think that was Georgia Meloni, prime minister of Italy, who turned Biden around.

Big Mike said...

But, but, but Trump!!! wail Chuck and Rich and gadfly and Freder and Mutaman and the rest of the lefty trolls.

IMHO Althouse errs in using present tense for her "biden [sic] drops out" tag when future perfect seems to make more sense.

My own, very cynical, take is that he will not drop out. One morning the White House will announce that Joe Biden passed away peacefully in his sleep. This will start a thoroughly divisive set of rumors that he was murdered, but given that the Democrats since Obama have adopted divisiveness as a campaign strategy, I don't feel bad for them.

Tacitus said...

Well, there was a guy off to the right, and it did appear that Biden was trying to communicate with him. But the guy appropriately was looking down at his work - packing parachutes being after all more mission critical than whatever it is that Biden does.

Talking to people who are not paying attention to you.

Metaphor.

And I don't understand how Democrats and their pundits believe they can convince Americans it's not happening.

They don't have to. Democrats could run a tomato and the vote tally will be the same. It's not about how many people go to the polls, but how many ballots are turned in.

Absolutely ridiculous.
You've conveniently ignored the fact that the unclipped video also shows that everyone else was aware enough about what was happening that they were politely giving attention to the parachute officer who was addressing them, and that they were aware that they were gathering for the photo op posing.

I saw the full clip, including the thumbs up to the skydiver, packing his chute.

He didn't step aside.
He tottered aside.

Even with the context, it looks absolutely terrible. Just like my wife's father after he fell.

It's awful.

And thanks to Biden continuing where Obama trod, favouring Iran over Saudi, the US Saudi petrodollar agreement is dead. What did Trump do? Trump did the Abraham Accords.

typingtalker said...

Those in power have decided to let the illness progress until no reasonable voter can deny the need to remove and replace Biden. And by putting the "Biden is Sick" show on, they are clearing the way for "The Replacement Show."

Great for the "press" -- news of Biden's problems and more news about the replacement process.

Better than landing men on the moon.

Amadeus 48 said...

You can see why Giorgia Meloni of Italy has the lowest domestic disapproval rating of the G7 leaders. She gracefully and graciously brought Biden back to the right place.

Honorable mention to Macron, who was also on the case, but two steps behind.

Von der Leyen was concerned but useless.

Jersey Fled said...

It’s amazing the lengths that Rich will go to to just say stuff that is silly.

Aggie said...

Wait, it was the Italian PM that stepped forward and kindly got Joe turned around and brought back into the fold? While the other manly types watched and did nothing?

But I've been reliably told by all the best Legacy Media that she's 'Far-Right' and by some, even a 'Neo-Fascist'.

My gosh, what are we to believe, our lying eyes?

Birches said...

I knew exactly what Biden was doing and I knew he wanted to go make small talk with the guys already down, but it's completely obvious that the rest of G7 doesn't think he knows what he's doing. Apparently they were going to take a picture. He probably couldn't hear that direction so Meloni went over to bring him back. The look between her and Macron was telling.

Skeptical Voter said...

Giorgia Meloni subs for Dr. Jill who usually has the task of corraling the wandering doddering dude.

imTay said...

What killed the petrodollar agreement was the sanctions, and weaponization of the dollar, and the desire by large customers of the Saudis, and the Saudis themselves, who, after all, could one day find themselves the target of US ire, to protect their sovereignty from US veto by sanction and wealth seizure.

imTay said...

Last two leaders who tried to sell oil in currencies other than the dollar? Muammar Gaddafi, and our old buddy, Saddam Hussein. So don't be surprised if MBS meets with an "accident."

Original Mike said...

"Giorgia Meloni subs for Dr. Jill who usually has the task of corraling the wandering doddering dude."

I wouldn't be surprised if Dr. Jill had asked her to take care of Joe.

John henry said...

I'm still not sure what to think of the petrodollar thing. I need more info and time to think about it

But my initial thinking is that it's a good thing for the us.

It has beem propping up massive us govt spending for far too long. Removing the prop may (I hope) force govt shrinkage.

That may be a painful but a good thing. If we get a president who can grow the govt, like trump, it may not even be painful.

Robert Cook said...

Yep. The Dems are completely responsible for letting Biden just have a second run for (and a very possible loss of) the White House. They should have made it clear they would not support him for a second try and asked him firmly--that is, tell him--to announce early on he would not run for a second term, for the good of the party and of the nation. Even if they see a Biden up close that convinces them he is a viable second-term candidate, they have to look at the perception he makes to the nation at large: old, frail, not, um...mentally acute. I do not expect Bide to win a second election, and whatever follows rests on the shoulder of the Dems.

imTay said...

I am a "Little England" conservative. They were the conservatives in England who thought that the Empire was an expensive drain. The petrodollar sort of acts as a kind of seignorage, one that props up the value of the dollar, that almost every country in the world pays to the US, because they have to buy dollars to buy oil, and it is based mostly on US military might. I sincerely doubt that the cabal running our foreign policy is going to let it happen without a fight, because if this support for the dollar goes away, the US is looking at the kind of economic problems that Europe is now facing being cut off from the resources of Russia. Nobody is going to be happy in the US if the dollar collapses.

It's like buying stock on margin, it seems like free money until one day the market collapses, and the repo man comes and sells a large tranche of your portfolio at the fire sale prices that are going on that caused the margin call, in order to repay the loans, without even a by-your-leave as to what to sell, since you already agreed to it when you borrowed the money. Maybe that's what it should be called, "The Great Margin Call."

Drago said...

What I love most about Rich's BS is how the rigger that Rich claims was chatting with Biden never even looked up and was doing zero chatting while Dementia launched another air-thumbs up to no one in particular!

Bidens performance DOES explain why the lefty gaslighters are accelerating their Trump cognition lies.

They didn't walk him back. To help massage this walking catastrophe they all moved to his position and restaged.

minnesota farm guy said...

The editing is deceptive. I have seen the complete thing and he is wandering off to give a thumbs up to another parachutist. That said Biden looks and is pathetic. He seems to be, in both posture and actions, the perfect example of a senile old man who has no idea what is going on around him. The Dems and MSM may do their best to deceive, but aren't you going to believe your own eyes?

Jersey Fled said...

“ I have seen the complete thing and he is wandering off to give a thumbs up to another parachutist. “

The “other parachutist” is a rigger. Notice that another with the same uniform just rushed up to the parachutist who just landed. He gets a thumbs up from Biden though.

Parkinson's Disease - he has all the symptoms and theoretically, the disease does not necessarily equal "dementia" - which is why the doctors can claim that he is mentally functional if they pour enough drugs into him (and there are strong drugs that can minimize the symptoms, although there is no cure). But the slurring, the word salads, the slow careful and stiff walk all add up to the Parkinsons. The media suspects but dares not ask. Voters deserve to know and but the puppet masters hope they can get away with the Obama/Trump "all is well" medical clearance.

Original Mike said...

They did; didn't they? Good observation.

Can you imagine the conversations that have gone on amongst that group?

There's no way Biden's up to four more years.
You're voting for President Harris, people.

Tregonsee said...

In 1944, it was obvious that President Rosevelt would be reelected, and he would not finish the term. His VP, Henry Wallace, was a huge fan of Uncle Joe Stalin, and a sort of mystic in the terms of the time. The Powers That Be in the Democratic Party convinced FDR to pick another VP, and the rest is history.

One wonders whether there is something going on today, probably in Obama's living room, deciding on how and when to pull the plug. If there is an ounce of sanity left in the party, it is obvious that one or both of the current ticket must be replaced.

Given the dynamics for the party, replacing Biden with a white male such as Newsom would be an unacceptable slight to Harris. While Michelle Obama seems not to want the job, she would not be the first spouse who ran and was a figurehead for a term-limited partner. Lurleen Wallace, for instance. Of course, Hillary is tanned, rested, refreshed, and ready to assume the office which she was owed in 2008 and 2016.

Marcus Bressler said...

I believe that it is a possibility that Biden passes away in his sleep before the election. Prior to the convention, my dollar bill is on the Left kidnapping Michelle O into running -- a "Two Front Holes" presidency. Well, maybe. Harris might be so pissed she withdraws to become a senator from Cali.
If he passes away AFTER the the nomination, what happens?
I have no idea. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
I think he DID wander off, but in his addled mind, he diverted what little attention span he currently has to the rigger to his left.

cfs said...

Just think how the poor parachuter feels. Here he is having just perfectly executed a landing in front of several world leaders including the President of the United States. He then looks up to see the President paying no attention but instead wandering off and offering to shake hands with an imaginary friend. Obviously, the other world leaders were given lessons on how to redirect the dementia patient back to the task at hand.

Ice Nine said...

>Marcus Bressler said...

Pretty straightforward, IMO. You would then have Pres. Kamala Harris until Jan 20, 2024. And, as the incumbent president, she would all but automatically be the Dem candidate. It wouldn't be that hard to replace her as VP on the ticket, but as incumbent POTUS, not a chance. And, since any Republican would trounce her in the election, you would then have some Rep as Pres on Jan 20.

RMc said...

I don't understand how Democrats and their pundits believe they can convince Americans (Biden's dementia is) not happening

Because it's literally their job to do so...?

JaimeRoberto said...

Maybe Biden wanted to tell the other guys that he was a parachutist too.

RideSpaceMountain said...

"Can you imagine the conversations that have gone on amongst that group?"

I can. I bet Scholz, Meloni, Kishida and Sunak have gossiped among themselves about who plays the girl when Trudeau, Biden and Macron are having their 3some. My money's on Macron personally. He's already married to a man, and he just has that angry bottom look.

We've all seen the full video. He didn't 'step aside' to do anything. He slowly wandered off, gave the guy a thumbs up, stood there like a fucking idiot until he was corralled back to the group.

Stop acting like we can't see what's going on. Just because you're a dumbass - willing to defend this clown at all costs - doesn't mean the rest of us are.

Biden does have the stiff stance and movements of someone with Parkinson’s disease. I wonder if he has ansomia.

Without sound it’s not as easy to unlock the meaning of Glenn’s agitprop. Sure, he could be just wandering around because he’s incapable of focusing on a photographer’s instruction to pose for a group picture. Or he could have gotten bored waiting for a dork with faulty gear that wasn’t ready and more interested in seeing what one of the unsung “little people” helping to coordinate the event was up to. Politicians who don’t always need to hog the camera or be seen as important for having “more important” company are better.

Of course, the balance of evidence is probably on the former, but this data point is pretty poor coming from a guy who hypersalivates about everything as much as Greenwald.

Yancey Ward said...

Parkinson's Disease can cause hallucinations- that might be part of what we see with Biden trying to shake hands with ghosts. Funny how Inga managed to not point that out.
