OMG--will the Democratic party NEVER learn? Stabbing Joe in the back, still!

[crimycarny]

And we're off... Predictably some Democratic politicians are falling all over themselves to bash Joe Biden and give in to the GOP conspiracy theory that Joe Biden was suffering cognitive decline during his Presidency. Same sort of predictable behavior when some Democratic leaders voted to censure Rep. Al Greene.

Do they NEVER learn that forming a circular firing squad is not good strategy? If you can't support your own President, who did an amazing job, then step the h*ll down and let someone else who will. I'm so grateful for those who remained steadfast for Biden, like Jasmine Crockett, when others stabbed him in the back for their careers (Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, and others).

Sorry, just had to vent. Joe Biden even had Mitch McConnell's back when Mitch had that moment of freezing. Joe Biden is such a decent man, I wish those who are scurrying away in fear from the media would have Joe's back like Joe would have had theirs.

1. Shameful

I wish I could say I was surprised. It's just brought out the same feelings I had last July.

2. I'm 76 and have a photographic memory.

No fooling, I aced an online "Do you have a photographic memory?" test. (For fun)

BUT, it takes a few seconds to pull up memories from the gray memory bank.

It's perfectly normal, and remember that a quick answer from a memorized script of nonsense and lies is NOT a cognitive skill. It's a conditioned response.

Thought takes time, so we build ultra-computers to think for us. Regardless of the bull 💩 result. I worked with many an asshole in Silicon Valley who was just like that.

4. Yes, exactly. Dementia and normal aging are two very different things

In regards to the debate, that was the absolute worst format for someone who has to deal with a stutter. Joe couldn't get the words out not because he didn't know the answer or was "confused", it was that having 60 seconds for a rebuttal when a) you're exhausted, b) fighting a cold, c) your opponent is spewing so many lies you don't know which one to rebut, and d) the moderators won't do any fact-checking so you have to do your own.

I know Joe Biden felt the weight of the world on his shoulders during that debate. The media had been in a frenzy for weeks, making judgments about the slightest misstep.

If you look at the content of Trump's answers versus Biden, and ignored the 'delivery', Trump would sound like the one dealing with cognitive issues, not Biden.

3. For someone supposedly suffering cognitive decline, Joe Biden did a masterful job of restoring a modicum of respect for

the US, getting our economy growing again after COVID, saving many small businesses and middle income families from complete devastation, fighting through the increase in inflation caused by Trump's first-term tariffs, and getting chips and infrastructure going in the nation. All the while he was dealing with horrible attacks from the RW and the Left. He handled his duty honoring living and dead military as well restoring some of our foreign dignity.

7. Yep. Thank You!

5. Honestly ?????

that is what a lack of leadership can do.........

[FoxNewsSucks]

6. ...and the "establishment" types will be along shortly to

tell us we have to win from the center blah blah blah

instead of facing the reality that actual liberals increasingly don't feel welcomed as Democrats.

It's a shame.

Republicon MAGAt scumbbags should be kicked to the curb and buried in history, but it won't happen.

8. Anyone who has plans to run for national office some day

Should probably consider what they're going to say about Biden.

I won't be voting for them if they choose to be dicks. Bet I'm not the only one.

9. Building Dick-Head Cred. Now you can go "have a beer" with the Dick-Head-In -Chief!--- Wait!...

He wouldn't have anything to do with you!!!! You don't have ANYTHING he needs.

10. I will never, ever think of the Democratic Party as the "good guys"

again. Last year caused me to realize that my faith placed in certain leaders was sadly misplaced.
No need to name them.

11. Yeah, not doing themselves any favors
