Joe turns 80 // (Scott Johnson).
President Biden turns 80 today. We wish him a happy 80th birthday.
I would like to believe that 80 is not too old for the presidency, but Biden makes it clear in every public appearance. His handlers tried to hide his decline by keeping Biden in the basement during 2020’s presidential campaign. His handlers tried to hide his decline using a variety of strategies while he was in office. His handlers give him cards with step-by-step instructions in capital letters to avoid him getting lost during public appearances. He still gets lost in the fog when he makes public appearances. The cards can only do so much.
The Daily Mail mentions Biden’s milestone birthday . The Daily Mail observes with a fair degree of accuracy: “President Joe Biden will soon become the first octogenarian US President.” There’s a reason. Some argue that the rent is too high. I disagree.
Biden is getting older. Nancy Pelosi, 82, exudes mental acuity. Biden seems to be out of his element a lot of the time. Both Biden and Pelosi are able to testify to the miracles of dermatological treatments. One should count the ways.
When one considers the possibility of Kamala Harris and other Democratic wannabes, it is easy to conclude that the problem with Biden isn’t his age but the malignancy of the policies he introduced and promoted since his first day as president. Since his ascension into the presidency, he has done great damage to the United States. This is the main thing, alongside the corruptions of his family business.
Biden’s mental infirmity is secondary to the unfitness for the policies that have become the ruling orthodoxy of Democratic Party. Slow Joe must move on, but any potential Democratic successor will continue the same path.
