Tara Reade remembers him though and her claims need to be investigated.

He's not far off from remembering that you're not supposed to shit in your pants.

As usual, Victor Davis Hanson nails it:

The Unbearable Truth of Biden’s Cognitive Impairment

There is another unendurable truth: Joe Biden himself is not cognitively able to run a presidential campaign. Even if successful, he is not prepared to serve as president.

Biden proved more exhausted in seclusion at home than in public on the campaign trail. He is neither seen nor heard much anymore.

His planned series of fireside snarky critiques of the president’s handling of the virus imploded when he could speak neither with or without notes, nor with or without the teleprompter, nor with or without friendly media prompts from his progressive interlocutors, nor with or without his wife’s encouragement at his side.

His party pros know that if turned loose on the campaign trail, Biden will give us another spooky squeeze, one more bizarre Corn Pop or hairy legs story, still more biographical myths and plagiarisms, and daily lying dog-faced pony soldier incoherence.

Names, dates, places, things?

They have become shapeless ripples in Biden’s mental river of Lethe, flowing by and changing shape, before finally disappearing in a nothing stream of forgetfulness.

The Democratic Party also knows that Biden cannot schedule a rendezvous with Dr. Bandy X. Lee and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test, given the result would terrify his handlers.

On any given day, at any given moment Biden can say something not just controversial in the manner of Donald Trump, but something that simply cannot be deciphered or translated into any known language.

So, what does one do with kryptonitic truth?

Nothing.

What would one instead suggest? Hand the nomination over to the runner-up and, in theory, most deserving candidate Bernie Sanders—and see the Democrats lose the presidency, the House, and the Supreme Court for a generation?

Or do they keep Joe in the basement, outsource his campaign to future cabinet picks, his vice-presidential candidate and his family? Do they cancel the debates, seek to postpone the election or do it all by mail—and thereby confirm the albatross around their necks?

Or still again, do they have a therapeutic “intervention” and tell Joe to take one for the team, stand aside and allow non-candidate free-riders like Andrew Cuomo, Hillary Clinton, or Michelle Obama to usurp his delegates? Do they simply shaft the runner-up, nutty socialist Bernie Sanders and his legions of true believers?

No, of course, not. The truth is simply too foreboding even to contemplate.

Instead, we will hear that Joe is fine, in the manner that FDR was in great shape in November 1944. He will run not against Trump and his record, but against a fantasy who, they will say, fiddled while an unfettered and non-quarantined America was consumed by viral fires, and yet somehow as Herbert Hoover incarnate also fiddled while America ossified in an amber lockdown.

When the legend of a hale Biden is belied by the fact of his impairment, print the legend—but first get the necessary holograms, photoshopping, and testimonials to get him across the November 3 finish line.




You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

My running joke with a couple friends is that Biden likely doesn't remember if he successfully completed a BM this morning, so claiming he doesn't remember Tara Reade when he likely also doesn't recognize his wife half the time is not hard to believe. What is hard to believe is that 'anyone' would think running this drooling fossil as the Dem nominee would be a good idea. Ah, but mental illness does run rampant in that party....

But, in this instance, the Sanders supporters are the wild card. Sanders can't win the Presidency, yet, he did well in the primaries, and his jilted lover clueless fanbois are gonna turn the Dem convention (or whatever sort of event they plan to have) into a circus. They'll say "If not Biden, then Sanders" but you know that even the DNC has figured out that Sanders can't win. So, then what happens? I'll tell you what happens- theater worthy of pay-per-freaking-view.

Now the Hispanic lobbyists may be trying to send Uncah Joe a message. (Normally I'd consider a survey to essentially be a poll, but in this case we're hearing what the 'political operatives' [lobbyists] think they need to make an effort to say publicly.)

Biden Campaign Doesn't Consider Latinos 'Part Of Their Path To Victory', Political Operatives Say
Kathryn Krawczyk, The Week, 5/14/2020

Former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign has received some scathing reviews from Latino political experts.

Biden's primary campaign had a distant, if not "tense", relationship with Latino voters as he not only neglected to reach out to them but never quite rectified "his connection to the Obama administration's aggressive deportation policy", Politico reports. Biden became the presumptive Democratic nominee "in spite of, not because of" his Latino outreach, Politico writes, but more than 20 Latino political operatives say his luck may not hold in the general election.

Around 32 million Latinos are expected to be eligible to vote in the U.S. this fall, making them the largest nonwhite voting bloc in the country. Their votes are especially valuable to Biden in potentially flippable states such as Arizona and Texas. But the Biden team doesn't seem to be acknowledging this fact. "I do not think that the Biden campaign thinks that Latinos are part of their path to victory," Jess Morales Rocketto (sic - IC), the former digital organizing director for Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign, told Politico.

To be fair, the COVID-19 pandemic has made it all but impossible for the Biden campaign to reach Latino voters through in-person canvassing, and the campaign's dwindling cash supply hasn't helped it execute digital efforts. Yet Biden hasn't even talked to, much less gotten and endorsement from, Julian Castro, the only prominent Hispanic candidate in the 2020 race, nor has his campaign appeared to ask for help from Latino lawmakers and strategists.

"Right now I can't tell what their strategy is with the Latino community. I just don't see it," an anonymous Latino lawmaker told Politico. "They have a lot of people out there willing to help, but they're not engaging" those potential recruits.

http://www.yahoo.com/news/bide...tinos-143056489.html

Hmmm. Maybe Joe's thinking the Latino voted didn't win Hillary the White House in 2016? Given his sorry-assed performance in the southwestern US, maybe he's thinking he just isn't going to bother running there very aggressively? Or maybe a few Latino pols are looking for a little power, influence, facetime in the press and perhaps some walking-around money? No matter how you slice it, it does make the Biden campaign look a bit more troubled.

In response to this, Biden released a statement saying "Tacos give me gas."

Yes, but in true Biden form, this was in response to a question about Tara Reade.

Maybe Biden is secretly a genius and he’s actually faking dementia just so he has a reason to blow off answering questions about questionable activities in the past? Razz

Hopefully the Trump ad campaign people will see and use that clip.
