I just read online that Lindy Li, a former Democratic fundraiser, who switched parties due to the "cover up of Biden's cognitive decline" by Democratic insiders is writing a book called Unburdened all about it. Why can't people stop rehashing this same old bullshit? I am sick and tired of hearing about it when DJT's actual cognitive decline is on display day after day and day. How about writing about that, authors, pundits and so-called journalists?
They repeatedly run articles about President Biden having been "abandoned" and looking "bewildered" at the opening of President Obama's Presidential Center last week. No matter how innocent the reason may be for him looking around (maybe looking for someone or even just taking a last look around before he leaves), they always use that to make him look like a senile, befuddled pitiful old man. How about they repeatedly show DJT acting bewildered and looking like he doesn't know where the hell he is when he's sitting in the Oval Office? Or nodding off every time he sits down? Or when he refers to some unknown person as his daughter? Or when he claims a foreign leader begged for a picture with him? Or any of the thousand times he's looked like a senile, befuddled pitiful old man?
President Biden, on his worst day, is still a million times better and sharper than DJT is on ANY day! He's a private citizen now. I say leave him the hell alone. Stop picking on him. Let the man live out his retirement in peace. He deserves at least that much.

This will be a nasty election season. We can turn the tables on Rs over this. Just bring up Reagan and Trump. And ask why THEY are covering up Trump's pedophile behavior with Epstein.
For every mention of Biden, bring up Epstein
Although I think the Biden line is being beaten by Trumps own health issues.

(5,041 posts)... that Joe Biden corrected many of Trump's worst mistakes in ONE term as president. And I, too, despise the frauds posing as journalists for failing to do even a third-grader's level of research into WHY Biden stumbled in that fateful debate: Severe jet lag, and a lack of sleep, compounded by recovering from an exhausting whirlwind round-the-world trip, and running a fever with a really bad cold. I firmly believe that he was sandbagged by the very people that were supposed to protect and support him.

(5,041 posts)... in defense of Dr. Howard Dean when he rallied his troops with that perfectly innocent battle cry; his supposed "I have a scream" speech. I met and spoke with Dr. Dean when he was governor of Vermont, where I live. He did not deserve the right-wing vitriol at the time, and he SURE as hell didn't deserve to be sandbagged by the people that should have had his back.

(53,988 posts)He pushed through incredible legislation with small majorities in the house and senate for two years. He certainly left the country far better than it was when he assumed office, but all we hear are cruel jabs about his age and health.
I am so disgusted with these people, including the mainstream media. This is why "we can't have nice things" as they say. If this is how we treat our good and decent leaders, maybe we don't deserve better.

(5,653 posts)most revealing statement of her nonsense was when she told fox that the "Democratic Party was a cult".
If she had left the party and became an independent that would be one thing, but this jackass became a republican.
The Democratic party IS NO CULT. If anything, it is an extremely open tent, something that the REAL CULT, the republican party would NEVER accept.
She belongs with the degenerates, pedophilias, insurrectionists, and anti-Democracy goons that the republican party is today.
The disgrace is that our MSM has mostly prostituted themselves to push this kind of garbage.
As for Li, good riddance, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

(213 posts)As if that was the first time in history an administration actively tried to mask the frailties of the President. I mean Im old enough to remember the last couple of years of the Reagan administration.
I think if Bidens age issues were so bad, we wouldve seen it manifested in other areas like we do with the current administration. And every senior cabinet member who worked with him closely insist he was well enough to do the job.

(2,115 posts)In an interview Hunter Biden did, I think with Andrew Callaghan of Channel 5, he mentioned the absurdity of thinking anything in the DC machinery can be covered up like some of the claims people like Jake Tapper and Lindy Li are trying to say. Hunter Biden said My dad got old in front of our eyes, he lost a step physically, but he wasnt cognitively diminished. Thats what Ive always believed, and seeing Joe Biden speak in subsequent events doesnt show a man in the throes of dementia. If Joe Biden was truly as incapacitated during his term, as the Jakes and Lindy Alis claim, he would be barely functioning by now. During his book tour, Jake Tapper claimed that Joe Biden would be in a nursing home by now.

(20,755 posts)In January 2025, Li told Fox Business "I've been a conservative all my life".[51][52] In an interview on Fox News, Li made clear she would no longer be supporting the Democratic Party stating that "leaving the Democratic Party or even questioning the Democratic Party is like leaving a cult. It's terrifying. I don't want to be a part of this craziness anymore." Li also expressed support for Pete Hegseth, Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense.[53][54][55] Li announced she was raising money for Trump and Republicans, despite her previously sharp criticism of Trump.[56]

Anyone who would switch to the Nazi PEDO party and write a book to whine about the Dem Party is a liar.
I imagine Hunter Biden will have brilliantly interesting words to say about the grifter who went to the Homicidal Rapist Maniac. Theft of Billions from the People
