‘Entire Display is Kind of an Act’: Democrats Blame Biden’s Handlers for Hiding His Decline

‘Entire Display is Kind of an Act’: Democrats Blame Biden’s Handlers for Hiding His Decline

The last full Cabinet meeting happened on October 2, 2023.

Before I begin, I must get something off my chest. I am taking anything from unnamed sources with a grain of salt.

It’s hard enough to trust people, but people who have agendas in D.C. and they smell blood in the water? Ugh, even harder.

I do not doubt they can be truthful, but most people stretch the truth.

I trust very few people in the MSM. Actually, the more I think about it, the more I trust only one. He does not work on TV networks.

OK, so, unnamed Democrats unleashed fury on President Joe Biden’s advisors for hiding him, making his decline a secret:

Back in Washington, there have been clear signs throughout his term of Biden being increasingly stage-managed, with lists of talking points, names of questioners and drawings of where he should walk presented to him by aides. Ahead of closed-door Cabinet meetings that Biden attends, it is customary for Cabinet officials to submit questions and key talking points that they plan to present in front of Biden ahead of time to White House aides, two sources with direct knowledge told CNN.

“The entire display is kind of an act,” one of those sources told CNN. “They would come and say, ‘Hey, the president is going to call on you about 25 minutes in, and ask this question. What are the bullet points you’ll respond with?’”

The second source, who echoed that same description, said when Biden attends Cabinet meetings, they are “not free-wheeling, and pretty well-orchestrated.” And the meetings themselves are infrequent, with one Cabinet secretary telling CNN they are uncertain of Biden’s condition because they so rarely see him.

In fact, the last full Cabinet meeting took place on October 2, 2023. Sources also said Cabinet meetings during the Obama years, which Biden attended as vice president, were not pre-scripted this way.

Those who attended the glamorous Hollywood fundraiser noticed Biden was off when they took pictures with him:

“He was less cogent than usual,” said one attendee, who was surprised that during a smaller meeting with donors before the main event, Biden barely spoke. Instead, this person said, he left virtually all of the talking to former President Barack Obama, which struck some guests as unusual for a loquacious politician like Biden.

Biden’s appearance in California struck attendees as starkly different from a fundraising gala he attended in March at Radio City Music Hall in New York, one Democrat guest told CNN, when Biden appeared on stage with Obama and former President Bill Clinton.

“There is a marked difference in the president from the spring to the summer,” a senior Democrat told CNN. “He’s just not the same.”

Sounds to me like the scoundrels are sharpening their knives.

    “He’s just not the same.”

    Not quite true. He’s still the same mean, selfish, money-grubbing POS he always was. All of which makes up for his stupidity.

    Hella of an investor though. Has all this wealth of a “public servant’s” salary.

Four more months!

3.9 too many

    Actually six more months if we are lucky and DemoncRats can’t cheat themselves into office.

When was is? 2000 maybe when Gerald Ford was on TV at the GOP convention and he was slurring his speech. My wife, a seasoned ER nurse looked up and deadpanned “he’s having a stroke”. And so he was.

Same scenario today. Millions of Americans have cared for loved ones with Parkinson’s dementia and recognize the tell tale signs in Biden and saw them years ago. We didn’t need to be told by a bunch of journalists.

What we also already knew was that Biden was a petty, vindictive a**hole of a man who, until he called BHO clean, articulate and story book, could only get into the White House like the rest of us – during a tour.

Layer on top of all of that the fact that the guy’s IQ on his brightest day wasn’t triple digits and you now understand the depths of our dilemma.

Let’s hope that Jackass Joe continues his nearly unbroken streak of stupid decisions by staying in the race and decimating the D’s.

There is no issue on which the Democrats are not craven. In virtually EVERY case, they put their own interests above the welfare of the country.

In this case, they ALL knew, and that is why there is so much finger pointing and hysteria. That these people engaged in misinformation, and now hypocritically backtrack, proves they cannot be trusted to lead anymore. They need to go the way of the Whigs.

    IMO this episode is gonna do lasting damage to the d/prog coalition. It was heading for a collision anyway but the election of Biden in ’20 allowed them to delay the reckoning. Too many factions and tribes in their coalition to share power and have ‘their’ turn. I suspect the behind the scenes action is brutal with each faction/tribe seeking the maximum short term advantage at the expense of long-term d/prog coalition stability/strength. If Trump captures anything close to the % among blacks and Latino voters that the polls seem to consistently showing that’s probably gonna break them and something new will have to emerge.

      It startes and ends with Obama, the cheap fake that Democrats fell for. He is the reason for all of this, laughing all the way to the bank. Until Democrats come to Jesus and get a true picture of the composite character named Obama and his negative agenda, and understand he is totally out for himself, they will continue to kid themselves.

        In many ways Obama served the same function as Biden…at least in his campaign for a second term….it allowed the can to be kicked down the road and in ’16 they shafted the Bernie/Occupy wing by anointing HRC as the nominee.

        They don’t really have a wide selection of younger leaders to bring up. The geriatrics in charge of the d/prog party are and have been for a long while refusing to step aside and make room for a newer generation. Recall that in ’22 The POTUS, the Speaker HoR, the Senate Majority leader were all octogenarian. The SR d/prog stay in harness until they die, like Sen Feinstein or go past their sell by date like Harry Reid. Look at the HoR, Clyburn, Waters or the Senate Durbin and a few others. Many of the d/prog Reps from ‘minority majority CD’ tend to skew well into their 70’s. When they eventually die/retire and the seat is open the new CD lines ain’t gonna be drawn to protect a powerful incumbent with long tenure.

        Lots of upheaval coming to the d/prog IMO. I may be wrong but there seems to be too little pie to share out amount the various factions and tribes…. particularly for those who have been told for decades to wait their turn and waited being good party soldiers but seeing the train wrecks made by out of touch SR d/prog officials.

The Big Boy press conference is designed by democrats to get rid of Biden once and for all.

    Paula in reply to rhhardin. | July 11, 2024 at 5:13 pm

    Do you think the Big Boy press conference will be any different than cabinet meetings?

    I don’t think so. Three or four journalists will allowed to ask 3 or 4 questions, Biden will choose whom he wants to ask questions. The questions will have been given to reporters ahead of time so they will know what to ask. Biden will call on pre-determined reporters who will ask pre-determined questions. Biden will look at his cards and read back the answers.

    Then he’ll say, “No more questions or I will get in trouble” and he’ll turn and walk off.

The only act is seeming to mean well, not anything else. It’s what the left votes for.

It doesn’t matter what they say. The entirety of the Democrat party leadership and the MSM denial machine knew and hid this on purpose to stop there from being a real Democrat primary. They did this because the fractures in their party are getting bigger and a full primary with Joe being 25thed would have shattered it more than running the “Weekend at Biden’s” campaign.

The last full Cabinet meeting happened on October 2, 2023.

There were hardly any full cabinet meetings before that. Traitor Joe never did much of anything. That was the hallmark of his “tenure”.

I love how Traitor Joe’s handlers tried to refuse Trump’s aceptance of Joe’s golf challenge by saying that Traitor Joe ‘didn’t have the time’ …. LOL. Biden has spent more than a quarter of his time occupying the White House ON VACATION!! All the guy does is take vacation. And he took an entire week off to try to prepare for his debate with Trump. And yet, the presstitutes read the White House golf refusal and not a one of them ever brought up the laughable part about Traitor Joe ‘not having time” off of his duties as president. LOL.

Sources also said Cabinet meetings during the Obama years, which Biden attended as vice president, were not pre-scripted this way.

But barky, also, had a huge problem spewing stupid, nonsensical idiocies when he was off-prompter. It was barky who started with the crazy “press conferences” where he had a pre-written list of reporters to call on. Everything was staged with Barky. Nothing was off-the-cuff, because he was such an inept moron. Barky e3ven had to have telepromters set up when he visited a first grade class at some elementary school!!

Remember how some guy started the Twitter account TOTUS (which was hysterical). Barky couldn’t take a s**t without a teleprompter and directions.

The Democrats thought they would put Trump out of commission with their antics, and Biden’s sorry state and policies would not matter. Instead, their nefarious conduct has come down like a ton of bricks, Trump is not gone, and now they have to scramble like headless chickens. The people are watching. Whatever Democrats do should fail because there always is an ulterior purpose far removed from what is best, focusing on what is best for themselves.

    That’s what you get when you pit a rat against a man.
    But never fear, Kamala is here. She’s just like Mighty Mouse:

    Here I come to save the day!
    That means that Kamala Mouse is on the way!

    Yes sir, when there is a wrong to right,
    Kamala Mouse will join the fight!

      tbonesays in reply to Paula. | July 11, 2024 at 6:06 pm

      Anyone notice that Gavin Newsome disappeared from the headlines over last weekend?

      I think it’s Kamala.

It’s just a boyhood stutter.

“The entire display is kind of an act”

Not “kind of”.

‘“There is a marked difference in the president from the spring to the summer,” a senior Democrat told CNN. “He’s just not the same.”’

That is the lie that they’ve settled on.

Trying to act like this was all just SO RECENT that they haven’t had time to really cover it.

No, it isn’t. He’s been going downhill for YEARS, it’s been obvious to anybody paying even mild attention.

The Easter Bunny video that got so much attention (to people that didn’t watch leftist propaganda, that is), where a staffer blatantly leapt in to stop him from actually talking to people, before literally shoving him away to a ‘safe’ spot, was from freaking mid-2022, for crying out loud!

From that creepy weird whispering nonsense nobody can seem to get him to stop doing, to his dementia robot shuffle, to him just spewing out gibberish and nonsense despite reading straight off a teleprompter, his brain has been mush for YEARS.

Do NOT let them try and lie their way out of this by claiming it was just recently.

How do you handle a Biden?

Bribe him, simply bribe him.

henrybowman | July 11, 2024 at 8:33 pm

“a loquacious politician like Biden.”
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
Perhaps you were thinking of “glossolalia.”

I think that Joe Biden wants to (and is so deluded that he thinks he can) win the election and then quickly resign so that Kamala Harris will be the full-term first black/Asian woman. president. He seems to be particularly proud of his appointment process resulting in the first or most of certain demographics (e.g. Justice Jackson).

That is bait & switch from the get go.
