What the fuck is going on with all the sudden shit talk against Biden in the news these last days?!?

And yet, nothing about the other candidate’s flagrant, much worse issues?!?

Someone is trying to sell a book (ie grift) about Bidens mental decline in his last year as president. As if that’s a good use of our time while we descend further into fascism. Never mind that Trump can’t string together a coherent thought most of the time.

Anything to distract from the real issue, which is the media distracting us from the real issues.

Or to distract from the media’s complicity in getting him elected twice.

That was my exact thought when I first saw this. What are you trying to distract people from that they're doing right now?

many Democrats have been dealing with the aftermath of Biden being completely outed as totally unfit for reelection and the mechanisms that attempted to conceal that fact. this is newsworthy due to the establishment going full ham in defending his mental acuity and now having to eat crow on how they put all their eggs into Biden's basket, and then had to step down 4 months before the election, and then did everything in his power to keep Harris from breaking from his policy positions on stuff like the Gaza genocide.

And now we have been told Biden is basically dying of prostate cancer and was probably out of his mind from that and the side effects of treatment.

Holy shit Tapper wrote this book that is (oh so totally organically) driving the commentary right now?

Fucking Jake Tapper who was just famously neutral and unbiased toward all other candidates than Joe Biden during the 2020 primaries?

How rich that he of all people is cashing in now on the Biden blame train.
