The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

If Biden was literally incapacitated, you can't have those kinds of events.

Hang on. Let's not move the goalposts. Biden might be upright enough to shuffle around and take selfies with some sports team. That in NO WAY is an indicator that he's up for FOUR MORE YEARS of a job that takes massive physical and mental toll of everyone who tries it. Just look at pictures of Obama, Bush and Clinton before and after the job...all of them look like they're 20 years older instead of 8 in each case.

Again, Wilson was only able to hide it because he went into complete isolation. He didn't do events - he didn't even do meetings. And even then, he couldn't conceal it for more than a few months.

Biden does less than the bare minimum for the job, fact. He routinely has days with very few (if not zero) public appearances and spends nearly every weekend at his beach house in Delaware. Hardly a taxing schedule.

If he's continuing to run for President, it's because he's choosing to run for President.

Biden wants to run. Jill wants to be First Lady. But they may not be the ultimate decision makers is my point. The people who run the democrat party are looking at his unpopularity, the economy, the mess he's made of foreign affairs and the fact that despite throwing every last DA in the country at Trump they haven't been able to take him out yet. The Politico I referenced is a shot across the bow.

Other media outlets that are reliable distributors of democrat talking points will soon follow suit if they haven't already.
