CNN's Abby Phillips Defends Democrats and Media Lying About Joe Biden's Senility: Accurately Reporting on His Senility Would be "You Know, Kicking a Guy When He's Down"

Very strange that this consideration was never once applied to Trump when he was charged with a hundred fake crimes.

That video below. Before that, Ed Morrissey writes that Biden is now rated the second-worst president in US history per a Gallup poll, with only Nixon standing in his way of immortal infamy.

Many more Americans expect history to judge Joe Biden's presidency unfavorably rather than favorably. Fifty-four percent of U.S. adults believe Biden will be remembered as a "below average" (37%) or "poor" (17%) president, while 19% say he will be evaluated as "outstanding" (6%) or "above average" (13%). Another 26% think he will be regarded as "average."
Compared with nine recent presidents included in the new Gallup poll, Biden rates most similarly to Richard Nixon, who has a -42 net rating (12% outstanding or above average versus 54% below average or poor). Biden receives more "poor" reviews than Nixon does (37% vs. 30%), but Biden gets more outstanding or above-average ratings.

Those "high ratings" are just sunk cost fallacy and partisan cope. As partisan Democrats get over their always-hurt feelings, they'll stop making stupid claims about Biden being an "outstanding" president.

As the public saw what real Democrat governance looked like, they stopped being marks for leftwing media propaganda and re-evaluated Trump based on the facts rather than leftwing lies:

Trump's ratings have improved substantially from when he left office in January 2021 in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and the peak in U.S. deaths from COVID-19. At that time, 29% of Americans thought history would judge Trump as an outstanding or above-average president, 10% as average, and 61% below average or poor.
The -32 net rating Trump had in 2021 has improved to -4. Since 2021, there has been a larger decrease in below-average or poor evaluations of Trump's first term (down 17 points) than an increase in outstanding or above-average ratings (up 11 points).

Literally everyone in DC and the media knew that Biden was senile -- and they all covered it up.

No wonder Abby Philips wants to make excuses about "not kicking a guy when he's down."

Woodward's new book, "War," quotes multiple people who alleged they witnessed Biden's senility firsthand at various fundraisers and other events. Among the claims were that Biden looked "frighteningly awful" and like a "senile grandfather" during some of these appearances.
Woodward quoted Liberties Journal President Bill Reichblum, who remarked on Biden's mental state at a fundraiser held at the home of prominent philanthropists Michael and Susie Gelman in June 2023.
According to Reichblum, Biden "never completed a sentence" at the event.
"He would start to talk about something, jump somewhere else. He told the same story three times in exactly the same way and it meandered so much," Reichblum was quoted saying. "Frankly, my impression was there were times it was as though we didn't exist. He was just rambling and talking as to what came into his head."

...
Prior to the debate, many of Biden's allies in the Democratic Party media had defended his cognitive ability and disputed those who claimed he didn't have the mental acuity to run for office. Woodward's book detailed how several of Biden's top aides did not acknowledge his cognitive challenges until after the debate.
However, his book also revealed that other prominent Democrats and liberals recognized Biden's problems well before party leaders recommended he end his campaign.
Biden "could not wait to sit down and only took two pre-arranged questions," one witness -- a Democratic Party donor at a Silicon Valley fundraiser hosted by Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott in June 2023 -- was quoted saying in "War."
At the same fundraiser, witnesses alleged that Biden struggled to focus on giving his speech even while having notecards to guide him.
The author quoted one anonymous guest who described Biden, writing, "It was 'like your 87-year-old senile grandfather,' wandering around the room, saying to women guests, 'your eyes are so beautiful.'"
However, Woodward also quoted venture capitalist Steve Westly who called the president "energetic" and said he "wouldn't sit down for two hours" at a second event that same day.
Woodward's book also included the accounts of people who attended a Biden campaign fundraiser at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York City that same month and noted Biden's struggles.
According to these attendees, Biden struggled to remember the word "veteran," and resorted to asking the audience for help in referring to a person who "served in the military."
Other witnesses described Biden talking with guests as "painful."
Woodward also quoted an anonymous Hollywood executive who at one point told the president directly, "You're f------ up your campaign. Every time you get out and walk, people think 'old.'"

Remember that the White House staff literally covered up Biden's slow, unsteady gate by surrounding him with bodies so that cameras couldn't film him walking.

The leftwing propaganda media that covered up the greatest deception in American presidential history since the cover-up of Woodrow Wilson's complete incapacitation has finally bothered to ask Biden if he could even have served another term.

Biden's answer: "Who the hell knows?"

1, that means "No," and 2, even taking him at his demented word, how could he have run not knowing if he was mentally capable of it or not?

He also claims he could have beaten Trump if they'd left him in the race, of course.

Trump still gets pounded for talking about crowd size, with "fact" checkers claiming this is a "lie," but Biden gets to claim he could have beaten Trump and the polls prove this and no one in corporate media points out the polls showed him losing 400 electoral votes and massively losing Congress.

Biden Acknowledges He Might Not Have Been Able to Serve Four More Years
President Biden insisted that he still could have beaten Donald J. Trump had he stayed in the race, but could not say he would have been vital enough to be president until age 86.

President Biden acknowledged in a new interview released on Wednesday that he might not have had the vitality to serve another four years in office, even as he insisted that he could have won re-election had he stayed in the race.
Mr. Biden, 82, who abandoned his bid for a second term in July under enormous pressure from Democrats panicked over his faltering debate performance against former President Donald J. Trump, maintained that he was still in good enough shape to run the country as he finishes his term.
"So far, so good," he told USA Today. "But who knows what I'm going to be when I'm 86 years old?"
That was exactly the point many Democrats raised privately for months before the issue exploded into public view with the televised debate in June, when a frail-looking Mr. Biden struggled to finish sentences and at times appeared blank or confused.
Until then and even after the debate for a few weeks, Mr. Biden and his closest advisers argued that he was still vigorous enough to beat Mr. Trump despite polls showing widespread doubts about his capacity, including among Democrats. Even now, after his stand-in, Vice President Kamala Harris, lost to Mr. Trump, Mr. Biden said he would have prevailed.
"It's presumptuous to say that, but I think yes," Mr. Biden said in the interview. But when the question turned to whether he would have been able to bear the extraordinary burdens that come with the presidency until age 86, Mr. Biden, already the oldest president in American history, conceded doubts that he rarely admits to. "I don't know," he said.
"When Trump was running again for re-election, I really thought I had the best chance of beating him," Mr. Biden said of the 2020 contest that he won. "But I also wasn't looking to be president when I was 85 years old, 86 years old. And so I did talk about passing the baton."
Mr. Biden added: "But I don't know. Who the hell knows?"

8 I am once again reminded of this quote from Spielberg's The Post said by Ben Bradley, played by Tom Hanks:

"And that just about broke my heart. I never - never thought of Jack as a source. I thought of him as a friend. And that was my mistake. And it was something that Jack knew all along. We can't be both. We have to choose. And - that's the point. The days of us smoking cigars together on Pennsylvania Avenue were over."

Translation: "We were chummy with JFK, and that was bad. Now that he's dead and out of power, we'll take the principled stand and go after our political adversaries to make up for it."

20 Let's recap:

The media lied about Wilson being a vegetable
The media lied about FDR being an invalid.
The media lied about JFK being an adulterous drug-dependent party animal
The media lied about Clintons shenanigans
The media lied about Obama's entire past and history -- AND his present, including the fact that he smoked cigarettes but told everyone he quit.

So why are we surprised that the media lied about Joe Biden?

Prominent legislation: The Inflation Reduction Act which he outright admitted wasn't designed to do that and was actually a climate change bill stuffed with graft.

Executive Orders: Opening up the borders. Strangling American energy.

Foreign policy: Inviting Putin to start the war in Ukraine. Hobbling Israel in its response to 10/7.

It wasn’t the Democrap policies you see, it was Biden who couldn’t articulate them, implement them, etc.

If you're talking about Carter, you're wrong.

In 1948, he began officer training for submarine duty and served aboard USS Pomfret. Carter was promoted to lieutenant junior grade in 1949, and his service aboard Pomfret included a simulated war patrol to the western Pacific and Chinese coast from January to March of that year. In 1951, Carter was assigned to the diesel/electric USS K-1 (SSK-1), qualified for command, and served in several positions, to include executive officer.

He then worked at Naval Reactors and got out because his father died.

112 A comment on the LA fires - despite Trump saying that Cali's failure to build more big dams is the problem, that's not really the problem.

What happened in the 1991 Oakland fire was that the fire knocked out the electric power in the area, so it became impossible to refill the water tanks, since there was no power to pump the replacement water uphill.

I suspect that a similar thing is happening in LA - the fireman drain the water tanks, and it is impossible to refill them with no power.

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power doesn't have emergency generators at its pump stations?

I have a water tank and pump station behind my house in suburban Portland - the pump station pumps water to a water tank at a higher elevation.

When the power goes out, the emergency generator onsite kicks in - yeah, it's noisy, but it ensures a reliable water supply when the power goes out.

I suspect gross incompetence will turn out to be a major contributing factor to the fire.

I think Biden has vascular dementia mostly instead of Alzheimers. People that have vascular dementia usually have existing cardiac issues including strokes, brain hemorrhages, etc. but they also live longer and have slower deterioration than those with only Alzheimer diagnoses. Only way though to tell is with a painful and prolonged PET scanning where a fluid is injected to highlight imagery.

My mother has vascular dementia (the old hardening of the arteries in common talk) and had heart issues long prior to that including high blood pressure, heart attack, fibrillation, etc. She also has some Alzheimers which presents a bit differently in vascular dementia patients.

The sounds of the mob outside. Of insurrectionists storming the Capitol building and breaking doors and windows to get in. Of the whispers between members of Congress deciding how to protect ourselves.

The sight of Capitol police officers running toward danger. Of my colleagues crouched on the floor, clutching masks to protect themselves from tear gas. Of thousands of protestors assaulting Capitol Police and desecrating the hallowed halls of Congress.

1) He didn't want the US to look weak or sloppy to the Soviets
2) He thought he would lose a post election contest and decided it wasn't worth fighting
3) He was told bad things would happen to him if he did and he could just wait his turn anyway

His press conference was an absolute disaster. His facial expressions, inability to focus, the fact that he has absolutely no policy or vision, new stuff that he didn't talk about during the campaign. In less than two weeks, we are going to hand over the nuclear codes to an insane, demented, senile old man.

Acting President Musk will be making all the decisions anyway. If Trump’s dementia gets worse, Musk and Vance will have to fight for the power. Vance has the legal power and the Heritage Foundation behind him.

They basically did the same with Reagan.

Will the cult coalesce around Vance like they did Trump? I have my doubts. "He married a brown?" Yes, a trumper woman said that.

Musk is trump's handler. Musk works for putin. Musk will be close to trump as long as putin wants him there. Musk could buy the Heritage Foundation.

A reservoir does not have to be filled by gravity. There are "upground" reservoirs all over the country, all filled by pumps, usually from a nearby river. I know of communities with over a billion gallons of such water storage.

As to the California reservoir in question, I have no idea about its particulars.

224 I wonder if Trump will decide to use another desk from the archives, or bring in a new desk entirely. One made of Carrara marble, supported by Red porphyry columns, and decorated with with 24k gold inlays !

I'm kinda hoping he also replaces the furniture, especially the sofas. This should go nicely in the Oval Office.

234 According to Reichblum, Biden "never completed a sentence" at the event.

"He would start to talk about something, jump somewhere else. He told the same story three times in exactly the same way and it meandered so much," Reichblum was quoted saying. "Frankly, my impression was there were times it was as though we didn't exist. He was just rambling and talking as to what came into his head."

Sure. Siphons are regularly employed to move water uphill, however, California's problem is they refuse to capture runoff.
They don't have enough water anywhere else in the state to impound. The California Reservoirs are there to capture snowmelt and sequester it.

Yeah, that's probably all it is.

For decades, it's just been a shuffle of the in-group within government. It's what made the insider to DC and government in general so powerful a marker for them regarding presidents. It's why the RNC fought primaries harder than it fought Democrats.

A president says he wants something. His cabinet says, "We'll get on it." The lifelong bureaucrats use the request as an excuse for more funding while they do what they really want to do the whole time.

I agree, so if everyone knew, and nothing happened, it's because the Dems had so many people who were willing to lie about it, nothing would come of attempts to highlight his incapacity. Again, Trump tried. What bigger megaphone was there?

Fisher was asked through social media during the debate Sunday night if Trump was a "cokehead" because of his audible, recurring sniffing.

314 Sure. Siphons are regularly employed to move water uphill, however, California's problem is they refuse to capture runoff.
They don't have enough water anywhere else in the state to impound. The California Reservoirs are there to capture snowmelt and sequester it.

Posted by: garrett at January 08, 2025 03:08 PM (obi3v)

I agree that California is probably NOT doing enough to capture runoff.

But a siphon cannot "move water uphill". It can move water "over" a hill as long as the discharge point is at a sufficiently lower elevation from the intake point. But the discharge point cannot be above the intake point.

Yeah, exactly. I think reading biographies on the Dulles brothers made me so cynical. The biographers write the books like "weren't these guys so brilliant?" when it's a pretty horrifying story of basically a coup by two brothers who did not even officially have massive power in our government during WWII, turning that in to them running state and the CIA and ignoring everyone in DC from the president on down and doing whatever they wanted to enrich themselves and their patrons.

And maybe they truly hated communism, too, it's hard to say.

Replace the cruise ships to Alaska with reconditioned WWII battleships and aircraft carriers.

368 Now draw a path by which the ChiComs can maintain ANYTHING in Greenland with any kind of regularity.

I'll wait.

Its a silly argument if your initial condition is an active war with China and thus Russia.

369 Sure. Siphons are regularly employed to move water uphill, however, California's problem is they refuse to capture runoff.
They don't have enough water anywhere else in the state to impound. The California Reservoirs are there to capture snowmelt and sequester it.

I agree that California is probably NOT doing enough to capture runoff.

But a siphon cannot "move water uphill". It can move water "over" a hill as long as the discharge point is at a sufficiently lower elevation from the intake point. But the discharge point cannot be above the intake point.

The only significant water is the Salton Sea and the Colorado River. Both are drying up from the diversions to LA.

370 So, we have lunch about 50 yards off the river and after lunch we go back to the landing...and there are only 2 boats there.

"Where's my Boat?" he yelled.

"Well. I doubt it is upstream..." - I replied, while shoving off for our afternoon.

373 IMO and as I recall it, Nixon ran and was elected to do one thing: get us out of Vietnam "with honor". That is to say, out without abandoning our ally.

He did this.

I was in the army in 1968, and turned 21 that year. The first time I could vote, and I and many others I served with voted for Nixon. Who was I going to vote for, Humphrey? I don't think so. By that time, the mood of the country was pretty damn ugly..

374 Nixon also instituted price controls. Carter was a terrible president, but he was actually unjustly faulted for the consequences of a bunch of leftist crap Nixon did.

He's nowhere near the worst President, but I think it could be fairly argued he was the worst Republican one. (Well, honestly, as the Father of the Uniparty, I personally think GHWB was even worse, but I can barely get anyone to acknowledge he wasn't in the top half)

375 Nixon?? Don't you mean Carter?

376 Remember when the leftist press did an entire week long news cycle of Trump walking a little slowly down an icy ramp, screaming that they had to forcibly invoke the 25th Amendment and Pelosi needed to order Trump arrested and forced to take a cognitive test, and they brought that idiot Bandi X Lee on over 100 times to scream that Trump was so clearly mentally unfit?
