I just finished Jake Tapper's and Alex Thompson's book on Biden's cognitive decline and the attempted coverup that most of us with eyes and ears saw long ago.
I hated putting money in Tapper's bank account, but it is well written. Tapper and Thompson are both intelligent Ivy League grads. Tapper lives in DC, obviously has connections, yet I do not remember him asking pointed questions about Biden's obvious decay earlier. Tapper says all his research and interviews were only recently done.
It is a good thing that Tapper has exposed the inner circle of aides, politicians and Biden family members who put power ahead of country. The inner circle wielding great power were known as the Politburo-how special.
Jill Biden should be scorned forever. She knew as the one closest to Joe that he wasn't well, yet the thirst for power and prestige held sway over her role as a protecting wife and for duty to the country.
Tapper and the media at large in my opinion do not deserve a pass. They were complicit in this scam.
One has to wonder how things would have gone down in a true crisis. Hard decisions ultimately come down to one person and Joe Biden was not capable at 2 AM to make a good decision.
The irony is that in the zeal to prevent Trump from becoming President, the folks behind this scam helped to usher in just that.

was their best chance to beat Trump - so they propped him up for an embarrassingly long time. I also think the earliest Prez debate in history was their way of hedging their bet. (If Biden struggled, they would have more time to pivot.)
The Dems need to let the voters pick their Prez candidates. Superdelegates were used to hand Hillary the nomination in 2016. I recall all Biden challengers dropping out right before Super Tuesday in 2020. And then they ran Harris with no primary. Voters notice stuff like that.
I saw Bill Clinton this weekend claiming Biden was still sharp as a tack...

I suppose some kind of kudos are in order for Tapper (even though he was a willing accomplice for years) since he's at least now willing to pull back the veil on how corrupt and incestuous the relationship between DC Democrats and the major media outlets is. Anyone with a brain and/or eyes could see Biden was out of it for pretty much his entire presidency yet the media assured us we shouldn't believe our lying eyes and that it was yet another right wing conspiracy which is their favorite explanation for inconvenient truths. And of course their cult members rush here and elsewhere to parrot these obvious lies. These same dupes still can't wait to repeat whatever these folks tell them as the gospel so obviously their lesson is unlearned.

It was fairly easy to see Biden's cognitive decline when he was running the first time. You had to be willfully blind, if you were paying attention to the campaign.

Was that it started with occasional lapses that become more frequent. In between the person can be normal and mentally sharp. As time progressed, the occasional lapses became bad days interspersed with good days. As time went on, deterioration became more pronounced.
In 2023 and 2024, Biden’s decline was apparent to casual observers and the public _ almost to the point where lucidity became the exception rather than the norm. Running for reelection was absurd.

serious cognitive decline himself and you're still parading that he's making these decisions.
Half the time he forgets why "he" even called the meeting. How are you so sure he's making decisions?

are so haphazard. Obviously, I can't prove that he is. His cheese may be slipping off of his cracker. i don't know.
Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned Trump in my original response. I should have simply said, "With Biden - we don't actually know who was making decisions. If the duly elected Prez isn't actually "The Decider" - that ain't cool."

but you aren't willing to consider the same with Trump?
It's almost as if the cognitive decline doesn't matter if it's your guy but does matter if it's their guy?

What do you think about Biden's cognitive decline? Did it exist? If it did, was it right that it was covered up?

He likes to attribute points that he makes up in his own, er, mind to other people, and then argue those points with the people to which he attributes them. It's fascinating.

actually arguing.
I think that explains why you guys have such a disconnect with reality. You don't even understand your own arguments so you can't see the flaws in them. It explains why you can't correct your mistakes because you don't realize you're making a mistake.

I'm not the only one who notices this about you. As a matter of fact, it's really hard not to notice.
But yeah, it's probably everyone else and not you.
It could just be a maturity issue, that perhaps you will outgrow.

What you're describing is an excuse you and others who have been proven wrong use to try to deflect from being wrong. Your last paragraph really sums it up, when you can't attack the argument you attack the person. That's a common ad hominem logical fallacy.
At the end of the day, I can't make you admit you're wrong. All I can do is lead the horse to water. I'll never be able to make you drink it. I wish it was just a maturity issue on your end (and Flow's), but I genuinely don't believe you have the capacity to even realize you're wrong.

What posts do you have "lots" of thumbs up? I must have missed those.
You still didn't answer JoeyB's question, which was relevant to the OP.
What do you think about Biden's cognitive decline? Did it exist? If it did, was it right that it was covered up?
I wasn't attacking you. I was being hopeful.

Jun 2, 2025, 2:22 PM

2022 and 2020 was obvious and even between 2020 and 2016 was enormous.
The question is whether he was still able to make decisions in 2023 and 2024. So far none of his decisions seem to have negatively impacted the country.
Tapper's big is politically salacious and sells well. But there doesn't appear to be any actual damage other than the Democrats hurt themselves by not prevent him from running for president in 2024. But the reality is with the economy, no Democrat was winning the race.

So having someone, who none of us voted for, running around behind the scenes actually signing Bidens name to legislation, pardons, EOs etc, without the actual POTUS knowing anything about it, is a big nothing burger to any of you? You're perfectly fine with a Manchurian candidate president as long as whoever is actually in charge is doing what you want? Gonna be hard to complain about the state of our democracy if that's the official position of the left, which it appears is gonna be the case.

This is the problem with the book, it's allowing you to make up conspiracy

theories about the Biden administration.
One of the actual complaints of Biden in the book is that he relied on aides and he acted as the Chairman of the Board... Which is exactly how the president should act. No human being can be an expert on every subject. The president's job is to make the overall decision based on the feedback of others.
But somehow you turn the fact Biden utilized staffers to make decisions into being that he had no idea what was going on and is a Manchurian candidate. But that stupidity of yours is precisely the market that Tapper is trying to make money off of from the book. You're just too excited to realize you're being played.
