Biden NEVER Ran The Country
- Thread starter GURPS
- Start date
This is the headline of a 2013 article:
And I've been hearing 11 million spouted by the media for over a decade. I have to imagine the number today in north of 20 million. And there's a good chance that number is approaching 30 million. Add in the fact that most young illegal couples have 2 anchor babies and the numbers really balloon upwards.
Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal ran the most astonishing bit of self-serving, limited -hangout-slash-gaslighting we’ve seen in months headlined, “How the White House Functioned With a Diminished Biden in Charge.” The answer, of course, is because corporate media covered for him. But the sub-headline described the Journal’s blame-shifting narrative: “Aides kept meetings short and controlled access, top advisers acted as go-betweens and public interactions became more scripted. The administration denied Biden has declined.”
“The president’s slide,” the Journal unironically reported, “has been hard to overlook.”
Has it? Wall Street Journal, when did you first notice the hard-to-overlook slide? Because, up until Biden’s debate disaster, corporate media monolithically reported Joe was sharp as a tack. (Maybe that phrase is some kind of euphemism; maybe it means something else to reporters?)
Well, not anymore. The history of Biden reporting has been reconned. Now, the media always knew about Joe’s sundowning. “At events,” the Journal eagerly confided, “aides often repeated instructions to him, such as where to enter or exit a stage, that would be obvious to the average person.” The Journal added juicy details, like when the campaign hired Hollywood mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg to give Biden, 82, voice coaching lessons to conceal “the president’s fading warble.” Or how they lyingly used pandemic protection protocols, like six-foot distancing and remote meetings, to help hide Biden’s blunders.
“The shell constructed for the pandemic,” the Journal explained, “was never fully taken down, and his advanced age hardened it.” If Joe’s advanced age was the egg, was the media the chicken?
The Journal reported to readers that Biden quickly tired. He was no good in the mornings. So all his meetings were kept short, scheduled later in the day, late but not too late, and strictly kept to the point. Whenever Biden was having a bad day, his aides would cancel his meetings and clear his calendar. Once, right before the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, Representative Adam Smith (D-Wa.), who chaired the Armed Services Committee, tried to meet with Biden to warn him about the calamitous withdrawal strategy. But Smith’s meeting was abruptly canceled.
Apparently, Biden had more bad days than good days. Over his four years, Biden has held only nine complete cabinet meetings—three in 2021, two in 2022, three in 2023, and only one this year. By comparison, Obama held 19 during his first term and Trump held 25.
We are only just hearing about this lopsided cabinet meeting issue now, when nobody cares.
What should we make of the Journal’s too-late, after-the-fact admissions, which just add insult to the informational injury? Now that Trump has been re-elected anyway, is the Journal trying to apply a narrative tourniquet to the injury of all its lost trust with readers? Why not throw Biden under the bus now, since his political career is long dead?
Despite those difficult admissions of Biden’s incompetence, the article was still acted as carefully as a drunk hobo trying to play “Operation” with a fresh fifth of Jack Daniels at stake. The Journal carefully avoided speculating about any of the evident harms that Biden’s incompetence obviously inflicted on the country. It got rapid-onset snow blindness about the ethics of propping up a demented old man. It never invoked obvious connected concepts like “lies,” “deceptions,” “Manchurian Candidate,” the “Twenty-Fifth Amendment,” or the “nuclear football,” nor speculated about precisely which unaccountable bureaucrats might have been pulling Biden’s strings. Or Jill Biden’s or Obama’s roles in the Great Charade, for that matter.
The Journal also elided any discussion of how for years, anyone who ever questioned Biden’s competence was instantly savaged by the media and its barbaric hordes of citizen volunteers and its grant-funded affiliated social media influencers.
But what was most missing from the article, painfully conspicuous by its absence, was media’s role in perpetuating the most grotesque and egregious lie in American history. So much for the media's watchguard role. Hang up your spurs. And please, get out of here with your “president’s slide has been hard to overlook” nonsense. This “exclusive” was rubbish.

And even that's
thanks to the Democrats and Bill Clinton. Oh, and the way they "impeached" Trump every 5 minutes. "TWO scoops??? IMPEACH!"
And even that's
These are of course, the ones that actually gained any traction - there were efforts that couldn't get any, because they were even more ridiculous than the ones proposed here. Read some of them - and who proposed them. I'm guess the Maxine Waters one and the Sheila Jackson Lee ones will amuse you.
THAT - plus the fact that I can find numerous articles about how they were going to impeach him - during his first CAMPAIGN. BEFORE he had done anything worthy of impeachment.
On July 24 2019 - a pissed off looking Mueller who had RETIRED from the office - was brought before Congress - told the hearing, sorry, there's nothing going on. Case closed.
The NEXT DAY - Trump congratulated Zelensky on a phone call -
And the impeachment process began again. They barely waited 24 hours from their last failure.
They were looking for - ANYTHING - to impeach him on. I do think they will TRY - but I kinda think they public is tired of it.

Kamala helped to hide his decline?
Of course she did. She was taking her orders from the same Cabal that was giving Biden his instructions, and if she had won the election she would have continued following the same instructions.
The American people have a right to know the facts of who is running the country now and has been running it for the last 4 years.
It will be hidden forever like the killing of JFK.

Al Green is the one that had me laughing out loud
Guess yo mama never taught you about lying. Carry on!
It was all racism at every turn.Al Green is the one that had me laughing out loud
Others were just as bad - not believing the results of the election.
While Democrats rage against Elon's "unelected influence" for exposing wasteful spending, a recent bombshell report reveals an unprecedented usurpation of executive power: Biden's presidency has been largely run by proxies, with cabinet members rarely gaining direct access to their commander-in-chief.
Even Treasury Secretary Yellen – traditionally one of the most important cabinet positions – was kept at arm's length, forced to communicate through intermediaries.
Defense Secretary Austin's regular briefings became increasingly rare, even as wars erupted in Ukraine and Gaza.
Cabinet members stopped requesting presidential access altogether, knowing such requests would be denied.
This wasn't mere delegation – it was institutional coverup.
Where Obama actively engaged with his cabinet to debate policy, Biden's team created an impenetrable barrier of handlers who issued top-down directives with little presidential involvement.
Yet when Elon used X's transparency to trim a 1,547-page spending bill to 118 pages, these same Democrats decried his "shadow" influence.
The hypocrisy is staggering – Washington would rather have unelected staffers secretly running the executive branch than face public scrutiny of its bloated spending.
The message is clear: the establishment will protect its own while fighting those who dare to lift the veil.

How is this news?
It was obvious from even before the election of 2020.

While a great face, he was not a man in charge.
TArlov is a little bitch. The way she talks to Judge Janine or Dana Perino - she should be slapped! She's so insecure around strong conservative women. When they make a comment that cuts too close to the bone, she makes some ridiculous face of disdain and then rolls her eyes real quick and tries to come back with some remark meant to cut them down. It just makes her look even more petty than she is.
