The Patriot Post® · Biden His TIME
President Joe Biden’s TIME magazine issue, along with the accompanying interview, became available for public perusal on Tuesday morning. It certainly gave insight into and further evidence of a man with fading faculties.
The article covers Biden’s policies and his “victories,” particularly on the foreign policy front. But TIME couldn’t help but insinuate the real state of affairs with the president of the United States, leader of the free world. Even they noted, “The President, with his stiff gait, muffled voice, and fitful syntax, cut a striking contrast with the intense, loquacious figure who served as Senator and Vice President. Biden bristles at the suggestion that he is aging out of his job. Asked whether he could handle its rigors though the end of a second term, when he will be 86, he shot back, ‘I can do it better than anybody you know.’”
In other words, he’s not the man he was.
Then, toward the bottom of the interview, TIME notes how aides tried to bring the interview to a close, but Biden launched into story after story. This is stereotypical of people in their twilight years who are fading.
As cleaned up as the published interview was, the transcript of the actual interview was a mess. Some portions were completely incomprehensible, such as this interview question:
You mentioned the hunger in Gaza. Some have alleged that Israel is intentionally using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare. Do you think that’s the case?
Biden: No, I don’t think that. I think they’ve engaged in activity that is inappropriate. That is… When I went over immediately after the — Hamas’ brutal attack, I said then, and it became public, I said, don’t make the same mistake we did going after bin Laden. Don’t try — The idea of occupying Afghanistan, the idea that you had nuclear arsenals in Iran that were being, I mean, in Iraq, that were being generated, simply not true. And it led to endless wars. They were not true. Don’t make the mistakes we made. And they’re making that mistake, I think. Excuse my voice, I apologize.
Or this odd end to a question regarding whether or not the president was more concerned with nations such as North Korea and Iran being nuclear or near-nuclear:
You know, I don’t have any (unintelligible) He wanted to know why I was doing all these things. I said the simple reason I’m doing those things: to make sure that you don’t, that you aren’t able to change the status quo any.
Several other slipups occurred, such as Biden confusing Chinese dictator Xi Jinping with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
The TIME interview was bad enough, but the hits kept on coming for Biden.
Also on Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal published its own exclusive entitled, “Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping.” (This just in!) The Journal interviewed more than 45 people with firsthand accounts of Biden’s demeanor and behavior, including several prominent Republican and Democrat lawmakers who work intimately with the president.
The Journal sets the stage in the first paragraph: “When President Biden met with congressional leaders in the West Wing in January to negotiate a Ukraine funding deal, he spoke so softly at times that some participants struggled to hear him, according to five people familiar with the meeting. He read from notes to make obvious points, paused for extended periods and sometimes closed his eyes for so long that some in the room wondered whether he had tuned out.”
Having two prominent media sources like TIME and The Wall Street Journal publish such damning material on the president perhaps is a broader bid for the Democrats. Exposing him as a man in senile decline gives Democrats better leverage to oust him at the Democratic National Convention, as our Mark Alexander speculated they might back in February.
Biden’s senior moments are nothing new or surprising to the American people. We are all fully aware of Biden’s decline. It’s only the diehard sycophants who are still clinging to the lie that our president is as sharp as ever. Everyone is tired of being gaslighted. It’s interesting that even the media aren’t parroting the lie anymore.
