This is how much Biden cares – his charitable giving record depends mostly on using your tax money.

The Trojan Horse Candidate

Or, if you prefer, the Puppet Candidate

I will embrace the power of “and” myself.

Actually, his staff probably just lifted him over it.
Here is some possible evidence that the prerecorded speech was cut-and-pasted from multiple attempts (standard operating procedure, of course, but the Dems were implicitly billing it as a genuine one-shot deal).

And the Tweet-quote from Jason Rantz is on the money:

When @realDonaldTrump sends federal law enforcement officials to protect federal buildings from left-wing radicals literally trying to burn it down: FASCISM!!

Joe Biden wants a national mask mandate, which means it’s enforced by… wait for it… the feds.

Pick a lane, folks.

Andrea Widburg at AT summarized the situation nicely:

Whew! I just saved you at least 18 minutes of your life by giving you the gist of the banal parts of Biden’s speech. But wait! There’s more.

I mentioned plagiarism, which shows up in Biden’s plan for responding to the Wuhan virus. Biden announced that when he is president, he will test Americans; make medical supplies and protective equipment in America, not in China; give schools resources to open; listen to experts; and use federal law to make everyone wear masks. Except for the despotic national mask mandate, all of those are things that Trump already did beginning at the end of January.

Biden promises to protect America. He apparently missed the fact that there have been no serious Islamic terrorist attacks on Trump’s watch.

Biden will magically provide all of life’s necessities: jobs, infrastructure, Obamacare, the end of paid college and student debt, childcare and eldercare, a better immigration system, labor unions, closing the imaginary gender wage gap, and fighting climate change.

The obvious question is that if Biden has the secret to making all those wonders take place, why didn’t he tell Obama during their time together? And even before that, why didn’t he share those ideas with the Senate? He mostly seems to have spent his time there creating a law that locked up black fathers, attacking a black Supreme Court candidate, and fighting desegregation.

And to make all the above wonders happen, Biden says he’ll end Trump’s tax cuts. That should be popular.

The gods actually don’t need to do anything pro-active; they just quit helping people avoid going mad. In other words: they get out of the way of people digging themselves into deeper holes.

That would be The Gods of the Copy-book Headings, of course.

But scouring through the comments, no one is convinced, often citing contrary evidence from Joe himself.

Indeed, some suggest the Dr is rationalising to comply with YouTube censors demands.

This parallel with Montage versus others is pretty plain: hard facts are cruel compared to unicorn farts.

Has anyone checked out that angle? Or was it all a pile on about Biden’s rep of doing so?

Gee, I guess you’re the only person who has a relative who’s had dementia, and that makes you the expert. Sorry, but unfortunately most of us have had plenty of experience with it, as well, and we are at least as good judges of it as you.

Nor does one judge dementia by the ability to read from a teleprompter. If one is extremely demented, yes, but at no point have I thought Biden was anywhere near that far gone. Those people who say he has dementia are judging him on his non-scripted utterances, errors, blankness, etc., whereby his difficulties have been amply demonstrated.

What’s more, I do not think he has full dementia, but I think the evidence is clear that he is in the early stages of dementia and is somewhat cognitively challenged. I have used the term “cognitively challenged” sometimes to refer to Biden (see this for example). Time will reveal more – if we’re ever allowed to see him having to field actual difficult questions in real time, without pre-preparation.

I never though that Biden would be removed from the ticket, nor did most people here, although some did of course. But it’s not the prevailing attitude here; maybe you’re gotten the blogs you habitually troll mixed up? However, I wonder, as do many people, whether if elected he would serve out a term. And I definitely think others would really be in charge and he would mostly be a figurehead.

Nor am I at all surprised that Biden can read a prepared and very well-rehearsed speech from a teleprompter. As I said, he’s not that far gone.

as a physician of over 30 years I can tell you based on my experience and watching Joe Biden’s prerecorded and edited speech the other night with his word slurring that Joe does clearly have have dementia.

You and many have floated the idea that Joe has dementia. My mother had dementia. I have known people with dementia and early dementia. I can tell you based on my experience and watching Joe Biden’s speech the other night Joe does not have dementia. [Of course, you guys also floated the idea that Hillary had Parkinson’s because she had a cough].

You have also embraced the idea that Biden will somehow not be on the ticket, which is a conspiracy theory. Biden is on the ticket and running. Sure, he is at an age that he could succumb to illness quickly – but, again, so is Trump. Your analysis is better when you focus on what Biden might or might not do as president not on your opinion about what he can and cannot do because of his age or because he is a ‘hack’ or whatever adjective fits the narrative.

Also, every politician reads for a teleprompter. Why is this unacceptable now?

That last link talks about nastiness. I read Breitbart, Red States, PJ Media et al. They are JUST as nasty, just as dismissive and just as full of conspiracy theories as left leaning sites. Maybe you don’t see it because you think the views are cogent and smart rather than snarky and blindly one-sided. It’s hard today to NOT find this on both sides. But if you stick with the facts and not the narrative that conservatives expect then you’ll see more like most Americans will. Which is exactly why we went from Obama to Trump and possibly to Biden. We’re not as divided as the left / right blogs want us to believe.
