Chuck Todd: A Cabinet Secretary Told Me Two Years Ago That There's "No Way" Biden Was Fit Enough to Run Again (But I Suppressed This News at the Time Because I'm a Regime Propagandist)

Chuck Todd, Steadfast Defender of the Marxist Faith.


NBC News' Chuck Todd reveals 'senior' cabinet secretary told him in 2022 Biden 'can't run again like this'

'There is no evidence he can serve four years,' Todd said, echoing George Stephanopoulos


NBC News chief political analyst Chuck Todd claimed on Wednesday a senior cabinet secretary told him in 2022 that Biden couldn't run again.

The former "Meet the Press" host discussed dwindling confidence in Biden's campaign on his podcast "The Chuck Toddcast" with Politico columnist Jonathan Martin. While floating potential exit paths for Biden to step down, both criticized Democratic Party members for refusing to publicly voice their concerns.

"The politicians of the Democratic Party in the last few days have shown that a lot of them don't have the courage of their convictions. They simply aren't going to stand up and say in public what they've been telling folks like us in private for years. This is not a new story," Martin said.

It's is a new story, at least among your leftwing Marxist propaganda outlets, because you covered it up for years.



NBC's Chuck Todd suggested Biden's diminishing mental ability is the "classic open secret" in politics.

So you admit you were all keeping it secret from the public. You Insiders all knew, but you hid the information from the people so that you could manipulate them.


Todd recounted, "I had a cabinet secretary two years ago, two years ago, out of the blue asked me, 'Do you really think he's gonna? He can't run again like this.' And I said, 'Well, you have more action with him than I do.' And they said, 'I don't have a lot of interaction with him.' This is a pretty senior cabinet secretary. This was two years ago."


He added, "It's the classic open secret, the nonversation. It's the story everybody knows, and that everybody was afraid to talk about."

Remember, these are the Brave Fire-Fighters who Put Their Lives on the Line Every Day to bring you the Absolute Truth Without Fear of Favor. These are the people who often claim that they're every bit as courageous as soldiers.

But I don't think it's about fear. It's about what it's always about: It's about advancing the Democrat-Marxist Party.

It's not just that Chuck Todd is now reporting -- when it is useful to the Party -- that Biden has had dementia for years and all the Insiders knew it.

He's also now decided to report that Insiders have always known that Biden is an egotistical asshole, too.

Todd was also critical of Biden's insistence on staying in the race, arguing that this could change history's view of the 46th president.

"Everything I've learned, it has made me rethink a lot of the Biden biography. I still can't believe he ran for president in the first place, given that his family was in crisis in 2018. You look at what has happened, I can't believe he has put his family through this. And now, looking at his behavior now, in clinging to this, I think the entire narrative on Joe Biden is gonna change. Everything's always been about his ambition and his ambition comes first," he said.

On NBC "News," a Parkinson's doctor stated that it's fact that Biden has Parkinson's. He says he has all of the signs of the disease, and that he could diagnose him within moments of observing him.

Here's Chuck Todd deciding to report that the claimed quality Biden ran on in 2020 and is running on now -- his alleged "character" and "love of country" -- is a lie.

Flashback: Fusion Ken Dilanian read the IG report on the Media Hoax about Trump calling for tear gas against "peaceful protesters." When Dilanian tells him the story was false from the start, Chuck Todd continues arguing in favor of the Media Hoax:

This from a paid Democrat shill who for six years was in the immense pack of scumbags pushing the lie that Joe is a decent man. No one likes Joe as a person, probably not even Jill. He is simply a slimy tool the DNC had to pick up out of the slime pit in 2020 to have any chance of beating Trump.

Now they have the same loss of face for hiding what "everyone knew" but they're now stuck with a senile nominee.

Not to worry, folks. I've heard from an anonymous source that Biden will get all of his 2000+ delegate votes that he eared via the primaries but "politician to be named later" will end up with the nominee after receiving an astonishing 85M votes. Truly historic.

92 NBC's Chuck Todd suggested Biden's diminishing mental ability is the "classic open secret" in politics.

-------------

I believe the phrase that you were looking for is "classic Big Lie" -- as in Solzhenitsyn:

"We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country."

All the insiders knew, and they also knew that they were all lying to the voters and the donors when they said Joe was just fine.

This is why I won’t call what’s happening now an “op” against Biden; rather the “op” was the widespread conspiracy to try and make him appear as though he was well enough to run again, when they all knew he wasn’t.

All of them knew they were lying, hence the panic when they all knew they had been busted on national TV. Very few of them have the nerve to play the Long Con and swear that no one saw that; rather they are all falling back on “well of course I knew, but it wasn’t my fault! I was only following orders!” They know it’s all collapsing and are just scrambling for a way to salvage what they can personally.

124 Sure, his dementia is an open secret to anyone who pays attention. But, beyond that, his stupidity and lack of intelligence is (and has been) an open secret as well. Joe Biden had a reputation for being the dumbest Senator serving (back before Obama named him VP). He had that reputation for years.

Additionally, and open secret was his total lack of scruples. He used to hang out with John Murtha (who is the definition of corrupt). Biden even delivered the eulogy at Murtha's funeral.

She was enormously talented; the camera loved her. And she had the sense to take appropriate roles as she aged. Check out her "captive white woman rescued from the Apaches with her half-Apache child" in Joel McCrea's Trooper Hook, for instance. She is not glamorous by any means. Yet, she projects something that you can believe would appeal to the stolid sergeant played by McCrea.

There is a HUGE release of a wildly popular college football game coming up. It has likenesses and abilities of real players. It is a game that would not only sell itself, but make consumers purchase the $400+ PS5 to play it on. It's a huge deal.

They released yesterday that Shadur Sanders, son of Deion Sanders, QB of the 4 win, 8 loss Colorado Buffalos, who was sacked more than 50 times last season, is the highest ranked QB in the game. The best statistics of any QB.

Higher than NC caliber Texas' Ewers.
Higher than NC caliber Georgia's Beck.
Higher than NC caliber Alabama's Milroe.

It's laughably impossible, and the speculation is that Deion offered his influence/advertising to manipulate young black men to buy the game / PS5.

155 Stanwyck was also a pretty good egg, from what I've heard. Liked to hang out with the crew.

She was also kind to her fellow actors. In the 50s, she made a film noir, directed by Fritz Lang, in which one of her co-stars was Marilyn Monroe. Monroe was her usual bundle of nerves, but Stanwyck was very patient with her and helped her get through her scenes.

She also helped launch Bill Holden's career in The Golden Boy (1939?, I think).

So, about as decent a person as you'd find in Hollywood, and a very good actress to boot.

I still need to see his script that convinced him to direct, Hold Back the Dawn. There's a scene where the main actor is supposed to have a conversation with a cockroach that he then squishes, but the actor refused to do it and the director allowed that to pass.

Wilder decided he needed full control after that because writers are treated like garbage in the filmmaking process.

182 155 Stanwyck was also a pretty good egg, from what I've heard. Liked to hang out with the crew.

She was also kind to her fellow actors. In the 50s, she made a film noir, directed by Fritz Lang, in which one of her co-stars was Marilyn Monroe. Monroe was her usual bundle of nerves, but Stanwyck was very patient with her and helped her get through her scenes.

She also helped launch Bill Holden's career in The Golden Boy (1939?, I think).

So, about as decent a person as you'd find in Hollywood, and a very good actress to boot.

So it's looking like the plan is to make Kamala Kween President and then reframe the election not as a contest, but as a "prosecution" where the country "votes" on Trump's guilt or innocence.

It's going to be a long mother freakin year.

There's a video of a Dem MegaDonor Ari Emmanuel saying there's similar laws in all the swing states like PA, Michigan, etc.

So not sure if its true or not, but I still dont understand how Dems swap him out when you have all these state laws on ballots.

Much of this was put in place so party bosses in smoke filled rooms couldnt pick candidates. But that's exactly what is happening.

Remake of Sergio Leone’s Clint Eastwood Starrer ‘Fistful of Dollars’ in the Works
The spaghetti Western, itself a reboot of Akira Kurosawa's ‘Yojimbo,’ will be remade by Euro Gang Entertainment. The latest version will come from Gianni Nunnari and Simon Horseman’s Euro Gang Entertainment and Italian production partner, Enzo Sisti and FPC S.r.l., and Rome-based Jolly Film, the film’s original producer and distributor.

“I am delighted to partner with Gianni again having just worked with him on Those About to Die, and with Simon on the remake of this classic film, which created a whole new sub-genre in film spawning over 500 European Westerns,” Sisti, whose film credits include Anthony Minghella’s The Talented Mr. Ripley and the Oscar winner The English Patient, said in a statement.

And then you had long lines at the polls because of machine issues (which I agree is suspicious) but ultimately what did her in is her voters just decided to not stay in line and vote.

313 The Senate Judiciary Committee torpedoed the nomination of Sarah Netburn Thursday to sit on the U.S. District Court in New York's Southern District. Netburn, nominated by President Joe Biden and recommended by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, had a record of transferring violent male rapists to women's prisons under the guise of being "transgender." The Senate Judiciary Committee just voted against Sarah Netburn’s nomination to be a district judge for the influential Southern District of New York.

I bought mine on a whim from Woot back before they were acquired by Amazon (read: back when Woot was awesome) and think I gave $20 for it. Every year or so I consider giving it away but I make one more batch before I do and always keep it. Like you said, the texture is very pleasant.

We used to make icecream with a hand crank maker on the Fourth of July potlucks for the family. The youngest kids cranked first because it was easiest, and the older ones last because it took muscle.

When Grandpa died, it was decided that the family would bury the urn at the plot next to Grandma, and being Depression Kids, my Aunts and Uncles decided to use the hand Augur that he had used to set fence posts and save some money on the funeral. My Aunt Virginia announced it would be like making ice cream, and we could take turns. My Aunt Ann asked that we reverse the order since the oldsters were no longer stronger than the young ones and might have trouble pulling the augur back up.

403 whig, you should read "It's the Pictures that Got Small," an edited version of the diaries of Wilder's co-writer, Charles Brackett. Brackett was a truly decent person and pretty conservative, especially for the time. You might give the movies that he co-wrote with Wilder a second look.

410 So since we need to discuss the Fox poll. Pew poll also came out. Trump 50% Biden 47%.

Hitting 50% nationally is a big deal.

Three overall trend is pretty clear. Trump is up about 3 nationally and is the first Republican since 2000 to lead in July.

Biden lead nationally by around 7 in July 2020.

412 I was reading where supposedly the Biden campaign is internally polling Kamala vs Trump. I have to think the results are fairly close to Biden vs Trump. Maybe 1-2 points better than Biden is doing?

I do think Kamala is a stronger contender and Dems probably would be better off swapping him out for her, but Bidens inner circle has to be showing these numbers saying there's really not much difference so why risk a blood bath for a different candidate that's within the margin of error?

I think Biden is going to actually get the official nomination, but Harris will not be his running mate. She's disposable, and there is no downside to discarding her. They need someone vibrant with, at least, the appearance of competency. She's starting to make some noise right now because the writing is on the wall. Expect some interesting interviews from Harris in the next few weeks. She's going to submarine Biden when they finally deliver the message that she won't be on the ticket.

422 James Ellroy's Underworld USA has me reading a bit about Howard Hughes lately, and this ice cream talk reminds me of this (wikipedia):

... Hughes once became fond of Baskin-Robbins's banana nut ice cream, so his aides sought to secure a bulk shipment for him, only to discover that Baskin-Robbins had discontinued the flavor. They put in a request for the smallest amount the company could provide for a special order, 350 gallons (1,300 L), and had it shipped from Los Angeles. A few days after the order arrived, Hughes announced he was tired of banana nut and wanted only French vanilla ice cream. The Desert Inn ended up distributing free banana nut ice cream to casino customers for a year. In a 1996 interview, former Howard Hughes Chief of Nevada Operations Robert Maheu said, "There is a rumor that there is still some banana nut ice cream left in the freezer. It is most likely true."

Ace in the Hole, I'm pretty sure, was the first post-Brackett movie, and it failed miserably. His ego was shot, and he went very safe for about a decade. The Spirit of St. Louis is very un-Wilder while stuff like Love in the Afternoon is the safest Lubitsch homage he could do while casting the major star Cooper.

He didn't really regain that edge until Diamond came on board, and then it went even harder. I mean, I really like Kiss Me, Stupid, but it is pretty borderline pro-having affairs.

Most ice creams start as Vanilla.
Master that first.
I would make 10 gallons at a time extracting flavors and adding ingredients for more flavors as I went.
So 10 gallons would get you 3 of Vanilla, 3 of Chocolate, 1 of cookies and cream, 1 natural strawberry and 2 of other chocolate based flavors.
Then you run fruit flavors diving into sherbets.
That was a fun job.

It's basically a moot point because clearly Biden's condition has worsened over the last 4 years, but Biden won the first debate imo. I would score Trump as winning the second one.

But Biden doesnt have to win a debate, just look like he's not someone that wandered out of a nursing home for an hour.

I watched some of Biden the day after the debate at a rally and frankly, he seemed fine. if that Biden had showed up, we wouldnt even be talking about swapping him.

469 It’s not an open secret if the only people who don’t know are the low information people that are his base. It’s been blindingly obvious for years that Stupid Joe ain’t what he once was, and that what he once was was a slightly less addled, belligerent dunce.

470 Found that kind of shit tiring when I was on a firearms forum where every single time you got people wailing the sky is falling and confiscation was just around the corner.

472 When the signs of Parkinsons become obvious to doctors, you are at stage 3. The disease has a fixed progression - it varies a little, but not much. Stage 4 is 24 months later - you are in a walker; Stage 5 is 48 months from the start of stage 3 - it is drooling in a hospital bed. Drugs can help, a little. But it is what it is. And the decline accelerates.

The clock on stage 3 started in November of 2022 when the White house first called in the Parkinsons expert. November 2024 is stage 4. November 2026 is stage 5. Nothing can change this trajectory.

During stage 3 the patient will experience hallucination, memory loss, and dementia. As well as rapidly increasing mobility issues.

473 "Biden is a decent man who has done nothing wrong. He has not got caught in a scandal—he's just aging."

Says "journalist" Chris Hayes!

Leftists can't help idolizing the "Dear Leader" even when they are trying to pull him down and execute him.

474 >but Harris will not be his running mate. She's disposable, and there is no downside to discarding her

If they are going to remove Kamala too in this little color revolution they need to do some groundwork for it.

475 I’m sure they are older folks in my congregation who have because they did all their own cookies and baked goods,but the ones who are 50 and younger haven’t mentioned it. It sounds like a good idea. We could have a “Sundae Sunday.” I have a friend who mentions “ice cream socials”but he is a kind of old fashioned guy and I told him that sounded like a phrase left on the cutting floor of “The Music Man” or “Oklahoma”.

That's just code for if you want booze you have to pour your own bottle over the ice cream.

477 You actually make it appear really easy with your presentation but
I in finding this topic to be actually something
that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely vast for me.
I am looking ahead in your next post, I'll attempt to
get the grasp of it!
