Joe Biden on the Expressway to Nowhere
Joe Biden is very hard to keep track of. Oh, not for his bank busting spending plans, or his “everything is free” ideology, or his MAGA fixation, or his EV mania, or his student loan giveaway, or his disregard for the borders, or his “sky is falling” climate addiction, or his…oh, heck, for just about every idiot scheme he can devise, and he devises many. Wake up tomorrow; it will be something else.
No…what’s hard to keep track of is how many and how often he opens his mouth and the incomprehensible escapes. When he opens his mouth to speak, we wait with baited breath for the next inane comment. He should operate under the Mark Twain truism, “It’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt”.
We could chuckle over his, to politely put it, gaffes, if he was just Grandpa holding court during the Fourth of July picnic. We could put him is a lawn chair with a glass if iced tea. BUT…this man is PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Anyone who doubts his cognitive decline has not been paying attention. Our allies make him a stumbling, bumbling joke on Sky News.
He almost reminds me of that time when Francisco Franco of Spain was dying and there were daily reports of his decline; it was humorous in a macabre sort of way. There would be a bulletin on the news that he did not sleep well and had developed a cough. This went on until one day…he died. For weeks after there were joke news bulletins announcing “General Francisco Franco is still dead”. We are watching the not so slow decline of Joe Biden.
This part of my journal will be devoted to Joe Biden.
TIME FOR JOE TO GO
Biden's Cognitive Decline
In the interest of full disclosure and complete transparency (that’s Modern Speak for “let me be truthful about this), I am 80 years and 8 months old, a demographic now called “super seniors”. I am eight days older than Joe Biden. I watch Super Senior Biden as he stumbles and mumbles his way through his Presidency. I watch him as he loses track of where he is. I watch him when he speaks and the cloud of confusion crosses his face, and he mumbles his way out. I watch him as he confuses facts, misspeaks names and places, and resorts to “Gimme a break man”. We all know he makes things up, more to make him look good.
As I said, I’m eight days older than Biden. Yes, there are times I struggle to remember a fact, a name, a place…BUT I’m not President of the United States. There are times when I can’t recall how to spell a particular word and must ask or “Google it”…BUT I’m not President of the United States. There are times I shuffle a bit because I wear braces…BUT I’m not President of the United States. True, I don’t clearly recall all of the facts which prompts me to embellish a memory that escapes me…BUT I’m not President of the United States.
If I visit a foreign country and seen as a somewhat doddering old man, that’s no big deal…BECAUSE I’m not President of the United States.
When I was young, I believed that, given the right circumstances, even I could be President of the United States, but at 80 years and 8 months now, I am fully aware, that would be cognizant, that I am well past the point of being President of the United States.
Even our friends overseas are aware of our failing President. The following comes from Sky News in Australia. Australia has long been one of our most dedicated allies. Biden can not be inspiring confidence in our allies.
