Book By Archliberal Franklin Foer: Biden Privately Confesses to Being "Tired" Due to His Advanced Age

You don't say. You just don't say.

President Biden, in private, "would occasionally admit that he felt tired," during his first two years as commander in chief, according to a forthcoming book.
The 80-year-old president's "advanced years" have been a "hindrance," stripping him of his vigor and leaving him unable to quickly recall peoples names, Franklin Foer writes in "The Last Politician," according to an excerpt published by The Guardian Tuesday.
"It was striking that he took so few morning meetings or presided over so few public events before 10 a.m.," Foer says in the book due out on Sept. 5.
"His public persona reflected physical decline and time's dulling of mental faculties that no pill or exercise regime can resist.
"In private, he would occasionally admit that he felt tired," the bombshell book claims.
Biden, the oldest president in US history, has been plagued by questions related to his mental acuity amid a re-election campaign that, if successful, will entrench him in the Oval Office until he is 86.

Frederick Foer was the editor of New Republic when they published those "Iraq War Diaries" by Scott "mindthoughts and soulpatterns" Beauchamp. He also vigorously pushed the Russiagate hoax. I think he was the one who pushed the "Alfa bank" hoax.

So as I said, he's an archliberal Democrat hack.

Here comes the inevitable mitigating spin:

Foer argues that some of the president's gaffes are not the result of his advanced age, but because of "indiscipline and indecision" seen throughout his nearly 50-year-long career as a politician.

Nick Arama at RedState rounds up a couple of alarming recent Biden age-related incidents.

The vast majority of the population has no idea of the existence of the diary other than, MAYBE, James O'Keefe was extorting Biden over it and that's why he was being investigated by the FBI.

That the people behind the curtain, pulling the strings and actually running the country (MIC, IC, China, whoever) thought he'd be a "good" choice is baffling. Yea, he's pliable, but so would any of the other candidates. I think buyer's remorse is setting in.

However, on the other hand, knowing about rezident retard's extensive corruption, shell companies, off shore bank accounts and his family's "peculiarities" he might have been selected for the chance to make money off his deals. And easier to blackmail.

Posted by: ace at August 30, 2023 12:23 PM (KRtlO)

Stop setting your alarm clock in ten minute increments!

Seriously though, check out some articles on "sleep hygiene".

Stuff like nicotine disturbs sleep. Are you still smoking? Drinking or eating too close to bedtime can disturb your sleep. only sleep in your bed. Using your laptop too close to bedtime. Not getting enough bright sunlight during the day. Etc Etc Etc.

You'll find the right combination for you.

99 Biden is stupid and senile. He was always stupid so you can't expect that to improve as you can't fix stupid. Now he is stupid with senile as the cherry on top. He is also deeply corrupt, morally devoid, and a pedophile. He is without peer as the sorriest son of a two bit whore to ever stink up the halls of government. And he has plenty of company.

As an aside, Paul/Sid sucks cock by choice.

137 I don't think Elba is too old for the right kind of Bond movies. A killer set of movies could be written about an aging, black double-O agent and the evolving place of immigrants within the former empire, one pitting him against those who want to see Britain fail (and that's not, checks notes, rightwingers, contra the most recent book) and guys like Bond who understand Britain is worth defending, faults and all. But that would require talented writers, adult scripts (which has never been the Bond films' forte), and a sophisticated audience. None of those things are in supply. So we'll get more dogshit. It's dogshit all the way down.

Fortunately for us, they have been captured and remanded to juvenile detention, which works so well. From the article:
One of the teenagers allegedly involved had 11 warrants out for her arrest, per the report. The other had been released from the Department of Youth Services just five days before the shooting.

My employer has Alzheimer's. It's exhausting going over the same information with him for hours. It's also exhausting trying to determine what mood he'll be in, and what he understands (it varies widely from day to day). Then there's trying to keep track of all his medical appointments and 24-hour nursing staff and mealtimes and what he will or won't eat any longer. I'm sure Biden's staff would like it best if he didn't come into the office at all - hence his many vacations.

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.

With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.

Each day you’ll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato bags.

Then try 50-lb potato bags and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I’m at this level.)

After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag.

If he'd been a little taller, he'd have made an excellent Bond. In the Eighties he starred in a PBSD series called Reilly, Ace of Spies, based on the career of the actual British agent (WWI era) whose exploits helped to inspire Fleming to create Bond. When people would say to Fleming, " Bond is pretty unbelievable," Fleming would smile. "Come now -- he's no Sidney Reilly!"

Neill was great.

That's a good effort...but excusing Black violence is bottom level DU "thought".

You should expect something more like: "White-supremacist Republican policies limit employment and housing opportunities for minority communities, forcing them into conflict over limited, for-profit, housing. This competition is intended to force BIPOC people into fighting amongst each other, instead of blaming the root cause of the problem. In the most extreme cases, White supremacists have successfully tricked Asian Americans into believing they are White-adjacent, to support Republicans in their efforts to punish and subjugate the Black community."

The last several elections (at least from Bush IT'S reelection), we've seen this stupid rumor about suspending elections. We held elections during the Civil War and both World Wars...there's no way they would suspend them now, either. They might use conflict (like COVID) as an excuse to loosen restrictions on voting (making a steal easier), but canceling them outright is a step too far, and to obviously illegal, for even a normie American.

Same with all the stupid talk about whichever president serving 3 terms or whatnot...won't happen. And really, for the deep state, doesn't need to happen to maintain control.

408 Wiki but...

||History

Solanum lycopersicum var. lycopersicum: the oldest surviving tomato fruit and leaves. Page from the En Tibi Herbarium, 1558. Naturalis Leiden.
The wild ancestor of the tomato, Solanum pimpinellifolium, is native to western South America.[7] These wild versions were the size of peas.[7] The first evidence of domestication points to the Aztecs and other peoples in Mesoamerica, who used the fruit fresh and in their cooking. The Spanish first introduced tomatoes to Europe, where they became used in Spanish food. In France, Italy and northern Europe, the tomato was initially grown as an ornamental plant. It was regarded with suspicion as a food because botanists recognized it as a nightshade, a relative of the poisonous belladonna.[3] This was exacerbated by the interaction of the tomato's acidic juice with pewter plates.[8] The leaves and fruit contain tomatine, which in large quantities would be toxic. However, the ripe fruit contains a much lower amount of tomatine than the immature fruit.[9]||
