    Just another impending obituary I will not be sad to see. Not as ecstatic as seeing Mango Mussolini’s, but definitely not sad.

    That stubborn prick got us into this mess by refusing to accept reality and denying us a chance at a primary election… Boo hoo, old-ass loserman can’t enrich himself as well as he’d like to. Wah wah wah.

    “The point with Biden was such that I have never seen, until maybe the current administration — an administration where the president is so surrounded by people who will never tell him anything negative, ever, and in fact will block negative stuff from coming to him,” Tapper told the New Yorker.

    In another book, journalist Chris Whipple writes that Ron Klain, Biden’s former chief of staff, was “struck by how out of touch with American politics he was” on the campaign trail.

    Earlier this month, Biden denied claims that his mental status is declining. “They are wrong. There’s nothing to sustain that,” he said on ABC’s The View.

    “Then he launched into a rambling response that was consistent with some of the behavior that had alarmed some people who met with him,” WSJ wrote.

    As Dirk Gently would say, it’s holistic…

    Dude still doesn’t understand modern politics or that America doesn’t love him, because no one will tell him anything true.

    In his mind he is mentally competent, because that’s all anyone around him will let him hear.

    These people in his admin were literally running a Weekend at Bernie’s and they deserve criminal charges, if for nothing else than elder abuse for what they were doing too him.

    A crackhead son billing his 80 year old dad for an inheritance is bad enough, but Hunter was who Biden listened to this last administration and who was shielding him from reality.

    Then hopefully we can do trump in 2032, we need to start holding these people accountable

        I mean…

        Yeah

        CNN anchor Jake Tapper tore into former president Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, for acting like “chief of staff of the family” in recent years, despite his record of questionable behavior.

        “It’s bizarre because I think he is provably, demonstrably unethical, sleazy and prone to horrible decisions,” Tapper told Katie Couric in an interview that aired on Tuesday, as Tapper and his co-author, Axios reporter Alex Thompson, promoted their book, Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, which paints a highly critical picture of Biden’s final days in office and 2024 campaign.

        “Look at the record,” Tapper continued. “After his brother died, he cheated on his wife with his brother’s widow and then got her addicted to crack. That’s just one thing I could say. I don’t have a lot of personal regard for him.”

    This was the plot-line to the final season of Veep except Joe Biden never freed Tibet to then go on and exchange it back for financial support for his library.
