This man is NOT lucid even at midday and he is currently running for a presidential term that will not even end until 5 years from now
Good thing Signora Mussolini was there to rein him back in
But also it was funny watching everybody but Scholz react to him leaving with some panic. Scholz was in his own world
they don’t call him teflon-scholz for nothing
If nothing else fascist leaders are good at commanding a room
Obviously there is zero chance this mummy makes it another four years, but I’m starting to lean towards a scenario where the Dems send him away to live on a farm before the convention. Grandpa’s brain has to be like 75% pudding at this point and Trump is going to take him for a walk, even if he’s far from his former power levels.
For a while I was really believing what seems to be the more popular leftist commentator prediction that Biden will somehow win in November despite how terrible of a candidate he is, but I don’t think he will survive five more months of this kind of exposure. The administration is doing a terrible job of hiding him from cameras.
Chapo is predicting sleepy joe wins ergo he is going to lose
Their “normal whites” thesis predicted 2022’s historical dem showing.
what is their “normal whites” thesis? I’m already laughing at that nameMmm, well the harder theory probably originated with Ettingermentum (chapo maybe got the name and vibes), who minted himself w the correct prediction, but it would just be that Dems would do better much better than expected, based on the observation that Trump severely damaged his brand following his loss in 2020, and high propensity voters (“normal whites”), who would turn out better than polls would suggest, were down on the GOP, esp. Trump backed candidates; and that these voters were very energized against Dobbs. (I’m sure Ettinger had sophisticated empirical data supporting this).
I think this is essentially what happened during the midterms, and over all the referenda and special elections, which Dems have won, nearly exclusively, since.
But the normal white thesis may not hold when: there is a high turnout, contest (given normal whites will make up less of the vote share), and when Biden no longer looks like a competent, steady alternative, but, rather, like an incompetent, weak old man (an auxillary theory is probably that, Gaza is hurting Biden, not because normal people care about Gaza or the students (they don’t), but because it makes him look like a little weakling who is an embarrassment to American prestige). So, very unclear that Biden has normal white luck in November, but it’s probably the only theory of the case for his victory, IMHO, tbqh.
No way they do it before the election.
Their argument for the last 4 years has been “you may not like literally anything about him but he’s the only person that can beat trump”
Sticking in another equally unpopular person with the same policies might even get your average blue Maga to feel a sense of confusion.
He’s gonna be head of the ticket and be replaced immediatly after the election is called (assuming he wins).
Like votes happen Tuesday, election is officially called Friday, kamala replaces him in time to make the rounds on the Sunday shows.
I’m sure this is what the Dems are planning and hoping for at the moment, but to get to that stage they still have to win the election and therefore must have some confidence that the current ticket can beat Trump, which is the part that surprises me.
Obviously the reality is that those with enough power to do anything about the situation don’t really care who wins either way, it’s not like their lives will be negatively impacted by it.
Obviously if he abdicates then Kamala will be president for the remainder of the 2021-2024 term, but if he’s unable to assume office I doubt she can just be sworn in as president without any vice president. I’m not talking legally, I don’t know what the laws/rules/conventions are around this, but surely that would be the final straw for lots of Trumpets to make Jan 6th look like an “innocent” AOC shoe sniffing sesh.
Trumpers are fucking coward they aren’t going to do shit. They “thought” the election was stolen and all flocked to DC to overthrow the government and then one person shot one gun one time and the realization that there might be possible negative consequences was enough to send them all home.
Then they watched everybody involved get prison sentences while Trump completely abandoned them, after specifically telling them to do it.
They’d have a point that it was a bullshit power grab, but they’ve also said that about literally everything for the last 8 years up to and including Hunter getting charged.
They’d say it’s bullshit, be right for once and maybe understand the allegory of the boy who cried wolf, and libs would say it’s all good.
Kamala gets sworn in, probably chooses somebody like Pete or Buttigieg for vp, 80% of the country thinks it’s bullshit, and turbo mecha-hitler cruises to election on the republican ticket in 2028 after winning 40 states.
Section 3 of the 20th Amendment says the President or president elect. If Biden is elected and dies/resigns before inauguration, then Kamala Harris legally becomes president at inauguration
I don’t know how chuds would respond though. I don’t know if they hate Biden or Harris more. They seem to think Harris is a secret Marxist tankie or something, which would be really funny though
I would watch the shit out of a movie about a Marxist sleeper agent as VP who is getting blasted with Xanax to deal with what she has to do to get into office and push the communism button
I’m pretty sure being a black and a woman would be the final straw for the trumpists.
I think they’re going to start using an AI representation of Biden, even with all the obvious issues like him clipping through the podium. They’ll drag his bed-ridden corpse across the finish line and we’ll get whoever the VP is.
(This is how Hilary can still win
)another comrade added to my “dnc shenanigans” club
What if they’re throwing it? They can read polls as well as the rest of us and they know they’re not going to win. They don’t have any good candidates ready and even if they did that candidate would have the Biden dumpster fire as an albatross hanging around their neck for their entire campaign.
It could be a rational choice to let the senile fuckup take the blame this time, spend four years fundraising to save Our Democracy™ and then run a Buttigieg or whoever it is they really want. At that time people will have forgotten how awful Biden is because they will have been busy with how awful Trump is.
Letting Biden stay on long enough to lose even comes with the added benefit that they get to pin his unpopularity on his dementia rather than facing the reality that their policy is dogshit.
I was really believing what seems to be the more popular leftist commentator prediction that Biden will somehow win in November
In the future feel free to credit me by name.
Shakily putting on the sunglasses like some kind of dementia David Caruso
Seeing him put on the sunglasses with a sustained facial expression of horror reminded me of
ARM NEO-NAZIS
I was going to crop that part out too because I watched the video in 2x speed and then realized that he was putting on his sunglasses HALF as fast as I was seeing lmao
I thought for a second that it was in slow motion as an artistic touch added to the video, but then I noticed that everyone else was moving normally and lost it lmao
Hey buddy it’s not a race. Some people take 8 seconds to put on their sunglasses

it looks like this place took a real… uh… it took a… it… hm. it ah, took a, it took a… looks like this place… it looks… look here, jack. i’m here.
Trying to retell the joke that got a laugh 8 years ago as a defense strategy to cover for obvious mental decline is so on brand for democratic strategists.
ye… yeaah … ?
Thank god there was a Mussolini there to turn him back to the right.
at this point are libs just covering their eyes to shit like this? or are they still making increasingly twisted explanations or “buuuut trump poopy diaper!”?
im dying to know
imo, both dems and reps are ignoring it because they know if they call out the other guy, they can’t ignore their own. its like a gentleman’s agreement to ignore senility.
Yup
“Lmao, this dude just literally shit his pants on national television” should be a pretty open and shut case in a presidential election unless the entire crowd you’re saying it to has been desperately ignoring the fact you shit yourself 10 minutes ago.
I think they are mostly covering their eyes. And if they’ve watched that vid and/or the Juneteenth video - they make a comment like they’d vote for Biden even if he were dead.
they’d vote for Biden even if he were dead.
Maybe we can compromise here
I will now only vote for Biden if he’s dead
“It’s a stutter!”
Literally yes.
If you try to say he’s experiencing rapid and obviouscognitive decline they will say “he’s always had a stutter”
In addition to just doing the “but Trump’s cognitive decline!!” bit, there’s also a ton of “I’m forgetful too and I’m only 38!” or “let’s cut the guy some slack! Watch his SOTU speech and tell me he’s got cognitive decline!” which is just…yeah.
“The Emperor’s New Clothes” is an instruction manual for these freaks.
To be fair, to his regressing, child-like brain, going to give the cool parachuting guy a thumbs up was probably more entertaining than a photo shoot.
Listen Mack. This fella over here has the gym class parachute. We could all lift it up and then try to sit under it before it deflates
Yo you just unlocked my gym class memories in elementary school of that. The teacher used to call the parachute his pajama pants.
:D
:|
Was your teacher M.C. Hammer…?
He was kind of a meathead if I remember right like a 90’s gym guy lol
he needed to warn him about the cannibals
tbh awkwardly milling around at the family function is kinda relatable
“Fuck these boring assholes I’m gonna go check out this guys parachute kit.” Would absolutely be a wining strategy.
Hell, he could say he’d rather hang out with the people who beat the fascists than the fascists granddaughter and every late night host in the country would die because all their blood went to their erection.
Yeah, I legit space out and start walking off like an NPC.
Is he not just the perfect living metaphor for the decline of Empire?
New Sick Man of Europe just dropped
Love that a popularity contest between two melty-brained geriatrics decides who becomes the most powerful person in the world
luckily there aren’t any existential national and world crises
And even if there were, thankfully the candidates are completely distinct in their beliefs and not nearly identical.
I know it’s lawbrained and relying on muh institutions and so on, but holy fuck. Every day this man is in office is a violation of the 25th amendment. This man deserves the elder abuse tbh, I’m not at all upset that he’s not being allowed to retire somewhere. But this Weekend at Brandon’s charade is only allowing ghouls like Blinken to act like a corrupt vizier in some Ottoman fable about power-seeking assholes.
On the plus side, his debate with Trump is going to be fucking awesome

I wish the video was higher resolution because I’d love a Biden distracted emote
I think this is the video if you want to hunt for Higher Quality emotes.
Cognitive function looks to have fallen off a cliff in the last couple of weeks. This and the Juneteenth video are really bad.
I guess they’re hoping to get him over the line then 25th him immediately?
its her turn!They haven’t announced a running mate yet have they?
John Fetterman
They’d never 25th their own president
Every conservative in the country would never let them hear the end of it, and more importantly, their own donors would crucify them
None of them are gonna dare cross the people bankrolling them, who would all want to know why the fuck they were duped
Fair enough but at this point youve gotta figure it’s caveat emptor
I dunno, I know his brain is cooked, but this isn’t really a good example. It seems more like they were done taking a picture and he decided to go check out the parachute guy. And then they called him back and said “hey we gotta take more pictures.” I can understand being annoyed with standing there to take a picture and wanting to get the fuck out.
Kinda agree, I would 100% do the same, but I stop and realise that this is the POTUS and like… unfortunately there isn’t the leeway to go wandering off when there’s a dozen cameras pointed at you.
Yeah, if you start watching at 8:15:00 (holy shit, that’s a massive video full of boring shit) it’s pretty clear there’s a lot of stuff going on around them, including behind them. He even gives a thumbs up before the wandering off. So there was something he was attracted to back there. It’s possible he didn’t realize that they were about to get spoken to because they were just standing there for a while already without anyone talking to them. I kinda don’t blame him for wandering off and doing his own thing with so much going on and no one engaging them.
That being said, his facial expression and slowness still look like shit.

I feel like an ambitious general could pull off a coup right now with little resistance. This is just so farcically bad. Trump too.
The military is the most trusted institution in the US
“The political class has demonstrated unparalleled cowardice and incompetence by refusing to come forward and remove the president from power. His cognitive abilities have declined past the point of tolerability for someone who must be commander and chief of the strongest military in human history. The military suffers no such flaws (don’t laugh!), so we have made the hard but necessary decision to dissolve the government and prevent America falling to ruin.”
Bruh libs and chuds alike would cum in their pants over an address like that.
He’s moving like a claymation figure
