According to White House visitor logs reviewed by the New York Post, Dr Kevin Cannard, a Parkinson’s disease expert at Walter Reed medical center, met with Dr Kevin O’Connor, a doctor of osteopathic medicine who has treated the president for years.

The visit took place at the White House residence clinic on 17 January. Cannard has visited the White House house eight times since August 2023. On seven of those visits, most recently in late March, he met with Megan Nasworthy, a liaison between Walter Reed and the White House.

The media is coming in for the kill. It's amazing how easily all this falls out once they stop propping him up.

The level-headed part of me says, this is the media doing what the media does, harping on the juicy story, scandal and court politics of the leadership. Then there’s the conspiracy theory part of me that sees the late debate time, the press suddenly turning against Biden, all the talk of finding a replacement coming out of voices that usually wouldn’t entertain such violations of the standards and norms, and wonders if there isn’t some orchestration going on. Like, if Biden does end up getting the boot and another candidate gets the nom in his place, there’s gonna be some immediate suspicion that they were in on some plan, if not the mastermind, to oust Biden.

I’ve been asking this question too because I also don’t understand it. Biden has been incoherent for years. He (or his handlers) does/do whatever the bourgeoisie wants. As shitty as he is, whoever replaces him will probably have a worse chance of winning than he has. These people also don’t want trump to win. So why are they suddenly doing this? Yes, the debate was bad, but nine months of genocide is so much worse, and they are totally oblivious to that. If they had wanted to get rid of him earlier, he would have had a serious primary challenger. My only guess is that it’s Palestine. Maybe the bourgeoisie are so concerned with Israel that they want to forget about Ukraine and divert everything they’ve got to Israel. This means letting Trump win and sacrificing Biden the way they sacrifice everyone else.

To the average American who thirsts for blood, I honestly doubt that. Supporting death and destruction is an American past time. Looking weak and addled is the worst option.
