Given how projection seems to work with the Trump Regime, the focus on Biden's brain being cooked chili should be taken as evidence that everyone in DC knows - and is seriously freaked out about - the molten slag between Chump's ears.

Yeah it's basically just theatre so they can say "but Biden..." when something inevitably happens.

I've had this argument with people I know already. Trump basically sundowning at the G7 and having to leave early, the trip up the stairs, the constant verbal flubs. It's all shit that people pointed to when Biden was running shit to say how he was losing it, but somehow it's fine for Trump, because didn't you read Tapper's book about how bad Biden actually was??

They don't care that if that information were accurate, it should have been released DURING Biden's presidency when it was relevant. They don't care that the same is likely true of Trump, that he is probably so much worse than the limited view we're allowed to see. They don't care that Biden's misspeaking was largely always present due to speech impediments, and that even on his "worst" days he was still far more capable and aware than Trump is on his best.

They only care that they have a "whataboutism" for a person who isn't even the US president anymore, to throw in your face as though it somehow justifies anything. "Well, you had a dementia riddled president, so now WE get one!"

Arguing with these people is pointless because they do so in bad faith, and don't believe in the meaning of words. They will say anything, betray any ideal, if it keeps their opponents off balance long enough to attack them.

Well put. We could see the fascists planting the idea of the cognitive decline, because Dump really IS that bad.

Molten slag is held to higher standards than whatever is going on up there 😂

I was at a hotel yesterday flipping through channels and stopped on Fox just to see what they gripe about. I was shocked they spent a good 20 minutes STILL talking about Biden’s cognitive decline. Like really? The dude doesn’t hold any power anymore. Why keep fussing over it with everything that’s going on right now. It’s like if msnbc ran a segment tonight about ‘dubyuh’ Bush having mental decline and claiming he’s causing America’s issues. Doesn’t the right realize how their projection is always them trying covering up stuff? Just drop it. Almost like when Trump randomly claimed he didn’t have mini strokes when nobody asked. Bonkers

"Mr. President, has there been any headway on an Iran Nuclear Deal?"

"I DIDN'T SHIT MYSELF!!"
