    Ok, Go back 2 years and find one. I love how you are rationalizing this. Hell, I posted a CNN reporter apologizing for not pressing Biden and the admin about his cognitive decline. Interesting you just ignore that.

    This is where you pretend you're not.

    BTW, I'm not defending Biden

    LOL. I like pointing out the hypocrisy. Sorry you got called out, but it's a terrible take by you. I'm actually surprised you are defending this.

    It was the biggest scandal of the last year minimum. It's not even a debate to anyone who isn't partisan.

    When you have to resort to semantics like using the words “exact same things” when discusssing what the media reports.. you know you have lost.
    Of course the msm don’t all print the exact same things. But the vast vast majority covered for Biden. They took the complete lie the WH fed them and broadcast it. There was no follow up, no digging.
    Who is really to blame. Democrat leaders who absolutely knew the truth.. that Biden was not fit for office. They hid him, the lied about him and they lied to the American voters. Want to talk about subverting democracy.. Biden was a puppet. We have long suspected it.. now the truth comes out.. and he was a puppet the Democrats party tried to put back in office. 4 MORE years of this? Four more years of being lied to about who was actually running the country.. not who was voted for by 80 million people.. no.. that guy was just a figure head.. they kept him in the basement long after Covid ended.. no the people really running the country were behind the scenes, in the shadows, pulling the strings.
    It should be disturbing to everyone.. but many here want to play sides, want to rah rah for their team, want to use semantics and claim not EVERY msm outlet covered for Biden. They didn’t ALL say the EXACT same thing… see there was fair and balanced coverage..
    Yeah.. right.

    I bet the mods let this story DIE right here. If we try to start a thread innit they will say no.. it’s already being discussed I. A thread with nothing in its title about it.
    Honestly one of the biggest stories of the year (last 4 years) and it doesn’t have its own thread. Even the media has let it die almost immediately.
    It’s like Hillary saying “What difference, at this point t, does it make?”
    We had a freaking puppet for a president. Basically Manchurian candidate. He was voted in by American but he obviously wasn’t running the country.. but hey oh well, shrug our shoulders and move on and rail against rioters in Aja. 6 from 4 years ago.. all while Democracy was stolen from the citizens.

    How can Biden be a puppet when certain folks want to blame him for every decision they disagree with?
    What about NC Joe

    joey cancels another $4.28B in student loan debt

    At any rate, you appear to be crying over spilt milk. He will be out in 30 days and we will get the orange buffoon.

    There is little doubt that Joe Biden experienced a significant cognitive decline over the last year. That being said distorted videos of Biden were also posted probably unnecessarily in attempt to support the narrative of Old Joe's decline. Examples:

    I would have to believe that when the light switch was on, Biden was fairly articulate in his own way. And his handlers were probably pretty good at recognizing when he needed some rest or was starting to fade mentally. After all, that is their job. So, it is certainly possible that Biden would appear intelligent in front of reporters most of the time. I don't think it was a matter of Biden being senile or being intellectually capable. He alternated between both of those extremes and spent some time in the middle. And, as anyone with an aging parent can tell, as older people begin to experience dementia, their first reaction is to cover it up.

    My second point is that right wingers be careful what they say about Biden, because the chances are very high that Trump will finish his second term in the same condition, if not worse. He has more of a weight problem than Biden, and has difficulty engaging people on an intellectual level, and does not have the healthiest diet. And he's rapidly approaching 80.

    All of this is likely true… the issue with Biden is the fact that the Dem leadership covered it up. Not only did we have a puppet for a leader the dem leadership then tried to get another four years of him. This is how a democratic republic falls. Not a bunch of rioters in J6, but powerful people subverting the will of the people and using a figurehead as they run the country from the shadows. The Dems showed us what they do and how they do it. Of course, we have already had one poster fall back on the Hillary Clinton line of thought
    What difference does it make now?
    But it makes a difference … when the voters .. 80m… cannot trust that the man they voted into office is the one running the country.. that erodes faith in the system.
