  2. Morning Joe back in March of last year said Biden was “at the top of his game” lol. 

  4. But Trump, 78, definitely doesnt have dementia and is fit to serve for 4 years.

  5. Then why did you run? Then why were you at the top of a concerted effort to deceive and gaslight the American people about your condition?

    For all the good he did and tried to do, that will be his legacy.

  6. Thinking the hope was for him to win the election, and then at some point, step down so that Harris could be the first black female president. But then he got kicked off the ticket after his debate non-performance, and things went downhill from there.

  7. Cool, where’s the article spam about Trump, 78, who wants to buy Canada and invade Greenland/Panama like a crazy old man?

    If Harris won, ran for 2 terms, and then Walz ran for 2 terms….Walz would STILL be younger than Trump is now.

  8. I want to know how long the Republicans have known about Convicted felon Trump’s dementia.

    He’s not even president and he looks like he’s in hospice rambling about invading Greenland.

    Who is going to be running the government on Jan 20?

  9. Dude’s already passed every life milestone there is

    and also above the average lifespan of an American man

  10. Remember when you were called a Russian troll for daring to suggest exactly this a year ago?

  11. Which means we still get President Harris. Now, we get President “whatever makes sense” if Trump dies.

  12. Everyone knows his age was a concern

    The “annoying” thing was that the same concern wasn’t extended to his opponent

  13. If he knew why did he bother running again?

    You initially ran as a one term president. Your approval ratings sagged to the ground yet you wanted to run again anyway despite saying you wouldn’t.

    “I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN STOP TRUMP.”

    Sure, bud. Yo uwouldn’t have stopped him had you stayed in the race.

  14. It’s a shame that he didn’t do the right thing and announce that he wouldn’t be running again two years ago. We might not be saddled with a degenerate pedophile with dementia for the next four years.

  15. Why don’t the democrats lead by example and get rid of all the elderly in office!

  16. Being a president is a demanding job. I understand that. Enjoy your retirement.

  17. So? This is why there is an order of succession. The president is just one person in government.

  18. Can we non Baby Boomers, both Republican and Democrat, commit to not voting for anybody over the age of 70 for any public office? It’s time that we band together and put these old fossils in the retirement home where they belong.

  19. There’s an article published a couple weeks back saying his mental decline was clear since year 1 but was kept hidden from the public by his inner circle

    It’s got like 50+ sources

    Could’ve had a primary instead of not giving Kamala any time to prepare , at the very least

  20. If it makes you feel better Joe, I’m not sure we’re going to last another four years either.

  22. We need a place for elder statesmen in this country that isn’t in the driver’s seat.

    To put it more bluntly:

    Biden will join a long list, along with RBG, of elder Americans whose ego got in the way of stepping aside and letting others lead when it was time.

    What’s the cost we pay for reassurance? We lost Roe, we haven’t reformed policing. The internet isn’t regulated like a utility (still, despite being a government utility to begin with), and we still don’t fucking have clean drinking water in major cities.

    It’s fine. We are just a failed state run by the military-industrial complex.

    Keep buying F-35s, please, allies. We gotta make payroll.

  23. What’s up with these old people wanting to work until they drop? I’m ready to retire even though I probably have at least 25 years of work ahead of me. The biggest failure of the Dems is not propping up the next set of leaders and getting out of their way. This past 10-15 should’ve been about passing the baton.

  24. Per his own words, he was supposed to be a “transition president” and serve only one term. If the Dem’s had had an actual primary, I think the election would have turned out very differently.

    Edit: Since people are asking, here are the relevant quotes:

    > “I view myself as a transition candidate,” Mr. Biden said during an online fund-raiser last week, likening his would-be presidential appointments to an athletic team stocking its roster with promising talent: “You got to get more people on the bench that are ready to go in — ‘Put me in coach, I’m ready to play.’ Well, there’s a lot of people that are ready to play, women and men.”

    > Former Vice President Joe Biden’s top advisers and prominent Democrats outside the Biden campaign have recently revived a long-running debate whether Biden should publicly pledge to serve only one term, with Biden himself signaling to aides that he would serve only a single term.

    > “Look, I view myself as a bridge, not as anything else,” Biden said at a rally in Detroit, one of his last pre-lockdown campaign appearances of the 2020 Democratic primaries. It was early March, and he was flanked by Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and a pair of his former rivals, Kamala Harris and Cory Booker—all members of what Biden would call “an entire generation of leaders” and “the future of this country.”

  26. It’s a shame he couldn’t have admitted that to himself in time to have a real primary for the democrats candidacy.

  27. Trump may die in office. But I was a lot more comfortable with Biden’s VP taking over than Trump’s. (Wherever the hell that guy is these days.)

    I can’t read the article because it’s paywalled, but it wouldn’t be surprised if we’re getting this headline out of context. I have to admit that I might die on my way to work, don’t I? Don’t you?

    Kennedy died in office at age 46. Shit happens. FDR — who had poliomyelitis — worked right up until he died at 63 (which was the average life expectancy of civilian men in 1945.)

    I only acquiesced to Biden stepping down on the basis that Harris had a better chance of beating Trump, because progressives and moderates wouldn’t vote for a possibly senile old man. Well, progressives didn’t turn out for Harris and moderates voted for a most-definitely senile old man.

    Fuck this timeline.

  28. So glad our media is focused on hard hitting revelations such as this.

  30. God fuck this guy. Remember the dick riding right after he dropped out where everyone was like “he’s going to be remembered as the greatest president ever… he sacrificed his political aims to save democracy” and other shit like that? And it was really that he just got bullied by Nancy Pelosi and other establishment Dems until he caved and we didn’t get to have a free and fair primary? Love that

  31. The covering up of Biden’s health might end up being the all time miscalculation for both the Democrats, but even more some mainstream media. They really lost a LOT of credibility after propping up Biden for as long as they did, and then only turning around to reality when they literally could not avoid it.
