I wish they'd leave President Biden alone [View all]

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.
