Was anyone here lied to, conned, bamboozled?
" And it suggests she was instrumental in hiding from her husband just how badly his re-election campaign was going as she tried to cling to power.
“Original Sin”, co-authored by journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, will be published next week. It lifts the lid on how Mr Biden, the oldest president in history, struggled to keep up with the demands of the job.
In one episode it describes how the first lady pulled her husband away from a Democratic governor after he raised concerns about the re-election campaign.
Mr Biden met Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, days after his catastrophic debate performance, when the president appeared unable to keep up with his rival Donald Trump. His words ground to halt and he was pictured slack-jawed, mouth agape.
“So how do you think it’s going out there?” the president asked the governor when they sat with smoothies after a campaign event. "

I actually like our Governor Shapiro in many ways.
But I'm ashamed Shapiro didn't bring the president ice cream. Biden likes ice cream. this gay ass smoothie shit is embarrassing.

Anyone who followed politics could tell in 2020 that Joe Biden wasn't the same guy he was in 2016. He got worse over the course of his "Presidency".
Tapper knew. They all did. They all chose to lie to the public. What's so special about Jake Tapper is how shameless he is in promoting his book.

And just to underscore my point:
https://x.com/Tyler_A_Harper/status/19233837872677...For those who insist on living in ignorant bubbles that lead to believe that the Steele Dossier was real and that Biden had all his marbles, the above shows a passage from the book discussing how Biden's staffers were having trouble with him back in
2020.
The authors report that in 2020, Biden's staffers tried to get videos of him speaking with voters about key issues on Zoom for campaign content. But “he couldn’t follow the conversation at all.” A special team was tasked with editing *hours of footage* into usable *minutes*.Once again.
The board's righties were
bang on right. The board's libs, not so much, and that's me being charitable.
At least two Democrats who helped produce the films were shocked. They concluded, before Biden ever put his hand on the Bible or sat behind the Resolute Desk, that he wasn’t up to the job. “I didn’t think he could be president,” one of these Democrats explained. In 2020. 4I knew.
Jedi knew.

And even better (same thread):
The book goes on to catalogue many disturbing incidents during Biden’s four years. Yes it got worse in 2023/2024, but it was bad from the beginning: cabinet meetings were described as “terrible and at times uncomfortable” from the onset. Biden used notecards. Canned responses
And who wrote those for him?
The picture the authors paint is of a president who was unable to adequately discharge the duties of his office from the very beginning of his term and certainly was unfit by the end of it: by 2024 cabinet secretaries confessed he couldn’t be relied on in an emergency.
Yikes
Moments throughout the book are stunning, but only one made me gasp. It was not something Biden did, but that one of his aides said about his 2024 run: “He just had to win, and then he could disappear for four years—he’d only have to show proof of life every once in a while.” 9/
In other words, the 2024 plan—for this aide at least—was to try to get a mentally unfit president elected for four more years, and then to hide him from the public while unelected staff ran the country. That’s an attempt to undermine democracy and defraud the American public.
And why not? That's more or less what they did from 2020-2024.

"For those who insist on living in ignorant bubbles that lead to believe that the Steele Dossier was real " - Dumbass Dope
There is nothing more funny than Dope accusing others of living in ignorant bubbles. Unintentional irony is still the best form of humor.
Him posting about him being right that the Steele Dossier was real is hilarious. He is so clueless about what opposition research is. It has been mentioned to him many times that the Steele Dossier was opposition research on candidate Trump (started by a Republican opponent). As opposition research it contains all sorts of information and rumors about a candidate. Some of the background information contained in the dossier is most certainly true (as it is backed up with public records and video) some of the rumors are most certainly false as it is the author's job to collect as much potential skeletons they can and try and verify the rumors but it is impossible to verify them all.
So opposition research contains background information and rumors that range from very likely true to very likely false.
The whole point of opposition research is to dig up rumors on an opponent. It is highly unlikely that all of those rumors are real.
So saying that the Steele Dossier is true or false is dumb. Some of it is true, some is false, some is unknown and unverifiable.
It should be noted that the whole Obama was born in Kenya rumor that people like Dumbass Dope spread over and over came from opposition research conducted by the Hillary Clinton primary campaign. I am sure the opposition research also included true rumors like Obama smoking pot in college. The Clinton campaign realized it was stupid to use the born in Kenya rumor because it was absurd. But when Republicans got a hold of it for the general election and put it out into the nuttersphere and ran with it, Dumbass Dope jumped on board.
Odd how he didn't care about the truth or falseness of opposition research rumors then.

I could not but help notice that you did not go after the substance of Original Sin.
Biden was a senile old fool, and his handlers concealed that reality from Americans and even Democrats, which majorly hurt their chances and a big reason why Trump is now president, which is disastrous for all of us.
If Biden had bowed out gracefully and not sought reelection, as he had promised, history would have been a lot different and possibly much better now. It is as much his fault as it is Republicans'.

"I could not but help notice that you did not go after the substance of Original Sin."
That is because I like to know a little about what I am talking about before I speak. So far there are people opining a lot about Biden's mental fitness for office. Some positively, some negatively. Much of the opinions are based off of misrepresentations and out of context stories. I find that a lot of people's opinions of Joe Biden's mental fitness are based off of what they themselves want to see.
I am pretty sure that your opinion is based off of what you want to see and therefore you only choose to uses sources that reinforce your view. I am sure the authors of the book did the same.
Since I have no special insight into the subject, there isn't much I could add. I have an opinion, but it isn't based on anything concrete so there is no need for me to express it because even I don't have much faith in it.
So I talked about the reference I did know something about.
"Biden was a senile old fool, and his handlers concealed that reality from Americans and even Democrats"
Yes I know. Your opinion is written in stone and it won't change. That is part of the reason you have failed as a voter and continue to fail. It is one of the reasons you are helping destroy the country.
"It is as much his fault as it is Republicans'."
Stop being a coward and take responsibility for YOUR failure. It isn't Biden's fault that there are a large percentage of American's who choose to get their information from sources that take advantage of them.
Like you, you still are unable to accurately describe democratic positions on a wide variety of topics simply because of the sources of information you choose to use. Yet you continue to stupidly use those sources. I will demonstrate this to you with a simple question: Who do you think talked more about transgendered or black people? Kamala Harris or Fox News?

Undoubtedly Fox News.
I understand very well that right wing news sources love to manufacture outrage.
And being cursed to be a centrist, so do left wingers, just not as successfully. Perfect example, today there was a new story about some loser pitching a hunger games type immigrants show to the DHS , which would raise every Democrat's hackles. However, if you read the details, it is gar from a done deal. Still, the story exists because they want to generate outrage among the left-wingers like you, and I think they will succeed because once you commit to an ideology, you have to ignore minor things like details and common sense.
Don't know what that has got to do with Biden screwing over Democrats and the country by staying in the race far too long.

good morning, you don't blame granny for running over two people, YEARS after it became obvious you had to take away her car keys. The question is HOW, HOW, did Jill and her crew believe they could pull this off, how? Team Biden knew they could control the content on FB, Twitter, msm outlets etc? THIS, isn't frightening to the average sober American? IF Joe did not seek another term whoever won a competitive nomination process in early 2024 would have beat trump, period. We get the candidates we deserve, let's see IF we can do better in 2028?

This thread and the other one are just awesome. Talk about living in an airtight mental bubble, one that prevents any outside stimulus or piece of data from coming in. Ignoring evidence, pretending to themselves they're always right. Gotta love this strain of lib.
Biden's mental decline was freaking obvious and pointed out here on this board using video evidence and the man's own words, stumbles, falls, goof ups and general lack of availability. What did the board's loons all say? "Cheap fakes" "Fox news is lying to you" blah blah blah.
Even today when left wing media is DESPERATELY scrambling to blame Biden's inner circle for the lies that the media themselves told the pubic every. single. day, they double down on the insults and nonsense. Many media outlets are rallying behind Jake Tapper's book claiming they were "misled" by the WH in a desperate attempt to regain some semblance of credibility (but sorry, gang - that ship sailed years ago. Own it.).
Egads. Our mental ownership of them is beyond breathtaking.

Greatest job of all time: Getting the RWNJs to think he was unable to do the job, yet he:
1. ended the Spankee Plague,
2. grew the economy,
3. no recession,
4. kept adding more and more US jobs,
5. reduced the federal deficit by record amounts, and
lots of other GOOD stuff.
Spankee took the US economy into projected recession/depression within ONE QUARTER.
US lost AAA credit status due to Spankeenomics.
Walmart is RAISING PRICES due to tariffs (already started with bananas). More to come.
Why is Spankee afraid of the consequences of TARIFFS if they are "so good for the US"? Unless, of course, TARIFFS are ONLY good for the rich. NOT rich = TARIFFS BAD.
Healthcare going into the toilet due to funding cuts for research. Just wait until the rich want cures for their diseases and there aren't any. That research was cut by Spankee and his EXCREMENTAL OUTPUT(S). So they gotta die just like everyone else. ROFLMAO !!!

Just like when we told you he wouldn’t be your nominee in 2024.“ Good morning, just so it’s clear, I’m no” righty”. I’m far left on the social issues which has nothing to do with whether or not I thought Joe should be the party nominee. The shocking news is, Jill and friends thought she could pull this off. It’s just unbelievable that she was certain 80 percent of the media and party insiders were afraid to report the facts. Shameful.

You really need to comprehend the difference between "right" and "correct".
Being ON the "right" means they are 0% "correct".
