The President of Mexico?
This press conference proves the point.
I've stopped commenting on politics, everyone is baked into their position, all political speech does is alienate people. But this memory event begun today with the report of the Special Counsel... How do you defend yourself against that?
By having a press conference. Wherein Biden came across as a doddering old man with experience who you indulge, but don't let drive.
This is what I was worried about. This is what happens when you play it safe.
I know, all my fellow baby boomers will be telling me to STFU, just get in line and vote for Biden. I'll tell them I will, vote for Biden, that is, but I'll also say that my vote in California is irrelevant. But in a handful of states, like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Arizona and Georgia, every vote counts. And this revelation about Biden's memory, that he couldn't remember when his son died, when he was Vice President, is enough to persuade people not to vote for him in those states, to the detriment of his presidential hopes.
This guy has got to go. He's not only putting the Democratic Party at risk, but the entire nation.
How did this happen?
Trump has been aggressive, fighting every legal battle, putting up fictitious roadblocks all the while. The Democrats? Have been somnambulant. Asleep at the wheel. Passive. How can you win if you don't put points on the board?
Blame the boomers, and the Gen-X'ers, completely out of touch with the youth, many of whom can now vote. The "New York Times" recently featured an article in its Business section with instructions how to give up your smartphone. I'm sure there were Luddites saying the same thing about the automobile. Am I going to defend Internet hate? Of course the smartphone comes with downsides, but the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
Is anybody in charge?
I guess the billionaires. Did you see that Musk is going to fund an anti-Disney suit? Musk battles all the time, and it's working for him.
That's the modern mantra. Be aggressive. It's like everybody in America is a rapper, not suffering any slight without retaliation. That's our culture.
Except when it comes to Biden and the Democrats.
Every excuse Biden's team has made abut his memory losses seem ridiculous. No one is buying it.
And with this press conference we're supposed to deny our own eyes? Biden looked old and untogether. And life is all about perception, and the perception of too many, many of whom count, is that Biden has jumped the shark.
If this were business, Biden would be gone within days. Even Johnson knew when to punt. And I can't find a single person who wants Kamala.
Don't say it's too late, it's never too late.
This is why you live life, for the unexpected twists. Unfortunately, this was foreseeable.
So Comey kills Clinton and Hur kills Biden. You can argue with the refs all you want, but it never works.
Biden needs to take his name off the ballot within the next week.
Or else...
P.S. Biden meant to say Egypt.
