The scandal we are dealing with is bigger than having a cognitively impaired President of the United States.
Just the other day, the New York Times used Joe Biden freezing at a Juneteenth event at the White House as an example of his impairment. But two weeks ago, the New York Times claimed rightwingers were selectively excerpting that video to make Biden appear like he was freezing.
The media has defended Joe Biden, advanced the voices that defended Joe Biden, and lacked the basic curiosity to ask tough questions.
The same media has largely dismissed conservative concerns about the odds of terrorists coming across the border, suggesting it is just a rightwing talking point.
The same media has downplayed the growing number of Americans murdered by illegal aliens, claiming that, actually, citizens kill more Americans, so it is no big deal.
The same media gave the White House a great pass on calling inflation “transitory.”
The same media, when Biden makes a gaffe, claims it is just a stutter or taken out of context but then loses their minds when Trump makes a joke. See, e.g., the Hannibal Lecter comment.
The scandal is not just Joe Biden but the sycophantic American press corps that gives Democrats the benefit of every doubt and doubts the veracity of every Republican claim.
For four years, Republicans have vocally said Joe Biden had mentally declined. The media dismissed it, denied it, or downplayed it.
Now, they claim they have not dismissed, denied, and downplayed it and are trying to claim they were kept in the dark.
The scandal is bigger than Joe Biden.
Democrats are like Boone and Otter in Animal House - they can’t talk about our President like that. Only we can talk about our President like that. https://youtu.be/iIgus8UoRRw?si=k28BwDR5LQvphWJP
This is no scandal, secret, or surprise. The mainstream media leans Democrat, just as conservative media (e.g., Fox News, talk radio, THIS SUBSTACK) leans right. The only thing new under the sun is the persistence with which today's conservatives whine about a phenomenon that has existed ever since allies of Thomas Jefferson started a newspaper through which to attack George Washington and Alexander Hamilton founded the New York Post in order to defend him. Quoting a 2013 examination of media bias, "[T]he notion that reporters should possess Olympian objectivity is relatively recent. In the nineteenth century, most newspapers were explicitly linked to a particular political party and the economic interests of the publisher."

Someone once said, "Be careful what you wish for." Successful Republican attacks on Biden's cognitive capability could well backfire in the same way that overruling Roe v. Wade has led to victory after victory at the polls for Democrats. Should Biden be forced from the race, the likely nominee will be VP Kamala Harris. Her polling numbers may not be so good right now, but I have little doubt that a surprising number of people who will be voting in November could not even tell you who she is right now. A campaign is nothing more than an extended debate, and that debate is only just getting under way.
Force Biden from the race and Harris will absolutely beat the pants off Trump. Don't believe me? The convicted felon does. It's why we have heard not a peep from him on the subject since last week's debate: Biden is just about the only Democrat that Trump has any chance of beating . . . and he knows it.
I visited my Congressman's office just the other day, urging him to join in calling for Biden to exit the race. So PLEASE DO keep up all the noise about Biden being demented. I can use all the help I can get.
