Jake Tapper's Book Exposes Biden Cognitive Decline Coverup - Will Anyone Be Held Accountable?

[Josie]

There was no coverup. Biden is still fine mentally.

We all saw it at the debate. You cannot believe he was "fine mentally" during that shit show.

 

[Ouroboros]

Not a racist comment at all, right?

Hey, you wrote something true, for once.

 

[Rogue Valley]

Ever since the 2024 Trump election victory, Tapper has positioned himself farther to the right post-election.

It's subtle, but noticeable. The same subtle shift applies to CNN. Few media conglomorates want to anger Donald Trump.

ABC News, agreed to pay a $16 million settlement to Donald Trump to avoid a messy lawsuit that the company believed would have potentially damaged the Disney brand.

To my mind, the former administration's "pardons" are no longer valid, given that its presidential puppet wasn't lucid enough to administer them himself. As a result, they cannot be legally viewed as presidential pardons. So, should that be determined in the near future - which I think it will as it's headed that way - charges will be brought against those that conspired to lead and undermine the US through fraud

The primary reason Bidens mental state-and how long it was an issue-is why this all matters. Speaker Johnson recounts a discussion with Biden where he asked him why he blocked US exports and Biden denied doing it. He cited the EO...Biden denied signing it. He showed him the EO and Biden was confused. The question remains...who was actually the president for 4 years and signing those EOs...because we know it wasnt Biden.

The problem with the Democrats isn't so much that, because Trump's run the exact same type of operation and won; he's still running that same campaign even after he's won. Just read through any holiday message to the nation he posts on social media and it's the same spiel. The challenge for Democrats is breaking that mold and providing an alternative to Trump and his policies. Some of it might write itself if the impact of Medicaid cuts really hit as hard as people are predicting, which also applies to the current trade policies.

Democrats have always accused Republicans of the desire to cut Medicaid, while knowing the waste and fraud is prevalent. Instead, only making it political they are not bringing any policy to reduce the fraud/waste, only a talking point without merit.

The trade policies....I'll wait and see, but using our purchasing power as leverage to achieve better trade for us as buyers and workers will be great for our prosperity not only in the short run, but for our children/grandchildren, increasing employment opportunities.

Democrats need to stop the naysaying bandwagon and put forth policies, those in which are good for our economy and national security, not just throwing money on the fire. We've had far too many years of that nonsense.

Trump sat down for about 3 hours with Rogan unedited and was fine.

He was not. He rambled quite a bit, which is exactly what he's doing now in some of his recent speeches.

Harris' team knew she could never do that.

I'm sure she could if she were talking about the things she's interested in. I again go back to the reference I made about her speaking about abortion, where she's quite clear and speaks about it in detail and passionately. It's all of the other topics where it's clear she doesn't have the same command.

It's pretty normal for our leaders in the US to be inarticulate uneducated disasters but even we have limits.

What limit is that? Trump's god awful in this regard. He's not only inarticulate, but rambles on endlessly about the same talking points. Add to that the ridiculous social media aspect of this and he's a whole new level of lowering the limits.

Harris didn't stand for anything personally except trying to stay in power and stay in the show.

I don't think she's any different than other career politicians.

We've had some pretty awful incoherent president's. Reagan was a disaster off the cuff. Trump has a style many people find hard to swallow but we've had worse and we will have worse in the future. His ability to troll and trigger people is underrated imo. People are too quick to let him push their buttons and play gotcha games.

I cant tell if the retarded leftist politicians dont know that their past words on all of these topics are easily discoverable on the internet...of if they KNOW they are braying ****ing hypocrites but also know that the mindless rat minions will just ignore their hypocrisy.

Thus far we have no evidence it's as prevalent as the GOP has made it out to be, and there's a big difference between claiming there's wide spread fraud at the level some say there is. We already have an example of this that was tried in Arkansas, where the same assumptions were made followed by a similar policy. You should read up on the results, because it didn't meet its goals and did more harm than good.

The trade policies....I'll wait and see, but using our purchasing power as leverage to achieve better trade for us as buyers and workers will be great for our prosperity not only in the short run, but for our children/grandchildren, increasing employment opportunities.

That depends in what areas the administration is focusing on, and that isn't clear based on the tariff policies implemented thus far. Placing tariffs on nations whose products we have no intention of taking on here makes little sense. Even some of the manufacturing should be assessed carefully in the context of what we really want to be doing. One area that seems pretty daft is cutting incentives to green energy technology, which is a gift to China and them becoming the dominant power in this area.

Democrats need to stop the naysaying bandwagon and put forth policies, those in which are good for our economy and national security, not just throwing money on the fire. We've had far too many years of that nonsense.

There's not much in the way of policies that would be useful for them to put forth since they have no political power to get anything through. I do agree that what they need to start communicating are clear objections to the policies they disagree with and what their alternatives are. In other words, start sketching out the platform and get ahead of the midterms. In terms of "throwing money on the fire" anyone would be hard pressed to argue that it's exactly what this administration is doing with their Big Budget Bomb. $3t in new debt is hardly being fiscally conservative.

Indeed. Past video of Clinton and Pelosi talking about raising tariffs on other nations is out there. Same with removing graft and waste from govt spending.

Man....that Jake Tapper...he is some kind of journalist, huh? He is, like, ALL OVER the story about Bidens decline...what a reliable source.....

Is he not telling the truth about the Biden Administration engaging in a huge coverup of BIden's failing condition becoming painfully obvious in 2024?
Are you disparaging his reporting or confirming it?

 

[Risky Thicket]

Up until the final few months I was skeptical about Biden's dementia. FoxNews wouldn't stop talking about it and much of the mainstream media soft pedaled it. Once again the 4th Estate stepped on its on wanker, proving that it is more about entertainment than news.

If dementia was an issue, and I now believe it was, so then is it and more an issue with Trump.

Are you suggesting Trump is demented? If so, where is that evidenced? I agree he sometimes to appears to be nutso.
Whereas Biden can be declared non compos mentis by virtue of what we have seen over the years (and certainly in recent months), can Trump also be declared out of his mind by virtue of what he has done over the past few months? Who is qualified to make that comparison? Anti-Trumpers? Progressives? Kamala lovers?



Non compos mentis is a Latin legal phrase that translates to "of unsound mind": nōn ("not") prefaces compos mentis, meaning "having control of one's mind." This phrase was used in English law as early as the seventeenth century to describe people afflicted by madness, the loss of memory or ability to reason.

I'm pointing out the fact that he was part of the cover up for 4 years and looks like a total clown now coming out and producing a book as if he werent one of the leftists covering for the rat administration.

Did you REALLY need to have that pointed out?

Yes, it is all in the interests of clarity and making sure we all know what you mean.
You did that and then asked a rhetorical question.

Biden’s condition was medically diagnosed and kept secret. That was wrong.

Though it is certainly warranted Trump refuses proper independent qualified testing and/or disclosure. That is wrong as well.

What separates Trump from other is he also doesn't follow any of the decorum either, which adds to his "flying off the rails" style. I think this is what makes him far worse than other presidents we've had, plus he is endlessly confrontational and thin skinned, so his social media posts and reactions to others always have that element to them as well. I'd also argue that trolling and triggering people are not qualities we should have in world leaders.

Sorry. I dont know how it could have been anything other than glaringly obvious.

Its fascinating watching the same people that literally spent 4 years watching Biden blank out in the middle of sentences and frequently mumble incoherently all the while insisting...oh n...sharp as a tack...best Ive ever seen him...what a warrior...man...cant keep up with him...so dialed in.....and in the meanwhile everyone KNEW the only decisive decisions he made involved his favorite flavor of ice cream...vanilla...because of course it is. They even ignored the investigation that found he wasnt mentally competent to answer questions.

Sorry....the media is as culpable as the rest of the people that propped up Bernie trying to drag him through the weekend.

At this point why bother with decorum given the criminals occupying most of our govt? Just for show and to be presidential? If you take a look around you'll find most other nations have some pretty messed up leaders too. I doubt we'll ever actually have an real honest president. People want figureheads and lied to. The big donors want paybacks and someone to put on a show.

Well if one is to take the nihilistic approach, then I guess it's a question of why bother with any aspect of governance.

If you take a look around you'll find most other nations have some pretty messed up leaders too. I doubt we'll ever actually have an real honest president. People want figureheads and lied to. The big donors want paybacks and someone to put on a show.

Sure, governance is far from perfect and nor are the leaders perfect. The question is which leaders can govern in a way that maintains as much stability as possible while using government to benefit the public. There are all sorts of mixed results out there, but I don't think abandoning the ideal is all that useful of a solution either.

Thanks for the clarification.
It was like watching a train wreck (in 2024) in slow motion.
Now we have a president with an entirely new set of idiosyncrasies which the public and Congress must deal with. Let's hope we are luckier with Trump than we were with Biden and his puppeteers.

I truly wish we were past the trump Biden/Obama years...but here is the reality and you can already see it. No matter who runs next they will be treated the same way. Both sides. Its not about Trump...or Biden.

There was a party of conspirators that were running the country sans an actual president. Worse, I believe these people were bent on the destruction of the United States in terms of freedom and traditional values. It was a group of resentful, vengeful and to a degree, immoral socialists that were determined to undermine the enemies of their socialist agenda. Since the majority of Americans were traditional and functioned through free enterprise, the majority of Americans were their enemy and needed to be defeated and/under their boot. That is why the illegal border swamping was maintained and encouraged, despite the consternation of those even in their own party. The idea was to marginalize American citizens and pursue a totalitarian agenda
