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

[SkyChief]

Accountable: You mean like losing an election, or prison?

Not really. Accountable, as in being obliged to accept responsibility.

So far, the House Oversight Committee has only asked some people to come forward and "participate in interviews". There have been no proper subpoenas (yet). It's possible that the individuals asked to come forward might tell the HOC to eff off.

Democrats being liars compared to Republicans... wow.

For years, democrats lied about Biden's cognitive decline - this was no mystery to most people. The MSM was complicit in the lies and disinfomation, so now the House Oversight Committe is investigating it.

I personally don't think that anyone will be held accountable - I think that this exercise is messaging - to make independent voters feel uneasy about voting Democrat.

So far the House Oversight Committee has only asked some people to come forward and "participate in interviews". If these people decline, the message is still clear: DON'T TRUST DEMOCRATS.

 

[antiquity]

The corporate media doesn't want to hold tRump accountable, so they decide to pick on a man who's not even President any more.

When was Biden ever president? That is the unanswered question.

 

[Dans La Lune]

Not really. Accountable, as in being obliged to accept responsibility.

And what does that look like in terms of consequences? Dems lost the Supreme Court, Senate, House, Presidency.

I care about policy over drama and pearl clutching over Biden's obvious cognitive decline, which was the worst kept secret in the history of politics. Dems covered for him, the news covered for him. So what? The do the same for Trump, on a far worse scale, with far worse impacts in terms of policy.

I also think you'll accept the economic raping of fellow Republican voters when the tax cuts / defunding of social programs are signed into law. Trumnp's working on behalf of corporate interests (and self-dealing) to pick-pocket the poor. Do we have a guest list on his Crypto Grift Dinner Scam?

Why should anyone care about House subpoenas? They've been ignored for years by Republicans.

 

[Middleground]

You keep asking stupid questions. This thread is about the cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline, and accountability for the cover-up, and it has nothing to do with Reagan.

Instead of posting an intelligent comment (or argument) on the topic, you questioned my personal cognitive decline.



Your doltish question is based on the false premise that I have cognitive decline. I don't.

I never said you have cognitive decline. Stop putting words into my mouth.

As for Biden, well, your outrage is about as fake as it gets. You're going nuts because of Biden's cognitive decline yet you have no problems stating that Reagan is the best President... ever. I am pointing out your blatant hypocrisy because it is common knowledge that Reagan was out of it for (at least) the latter portion of his second term.

 

[SkyChief]

And what does that look like in terms of consequences? Dems lost the Supreme Court, Senate, House, Presidency.

I think that it could potentially cost seats in the House and Senate in mid-terms.

The do the same for Trump, on a far worse scale, with far worse impacts in terms of policy.

ButwhataboutTrump, ButwhataboutTrump . . . it's been tried many times in this thread - they all failed.

Agreed. I hope that these people DO refuse to testify. That would make the messaging even stronger, actually.

As for Biden, well, your outrage is about as fake as it gets.

What a load of . Outrage? REALLY?? You funny.

You're going nuts because of Biden's cognitive decline yet you have no problems stating that Reagan is the best President... ever.

B.S. I never EVER said that - That is YOUR OWN dopey straw-man argument.

I am pointing out your blatant hypocrisy because it is common knowledge that Reagan was out of it for (at least) the latter portion of his second term.

You're still yapping about Reagan. Reagan had nothing whatsoever to do with the cover-up, but I'm glad that is the basis for your flawed argument.

 

[mike2810]

Agreed.

Independents are growing, yes. In fact, they are the largest voting bloc of the electorate.

But don't you think that independents might change horses when they find out about the cover-up? That's what the House Oversight Committee's task is. I think this will open many independent voters' eyes.

The message is: Democrats are liars, cheaters, deceitful and they cannot be trusted. . . . in any capacity.


That's off the topic. This thread is about the House Oversight Committee's investigation regarding the cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline.

Everyone now knows that Joe Biden was mentally unfit to serve a President of the United States and Commander-In-Chief. The House Oversight Committee's goal is to find out who knew this two years ago when Biden's decline really started to manifest, and all the people in Biden's inner circle were claiming that Biden was not having cognitive problems (lying like rugs).

I doubt that the HOC will hold anyone accountable, but their objective is to send the message to American voters that democrats cannot be trusted, and they don't care about our country - they only care about power.

Can't go back in time, but one could ask did the GOP cover up President Regan mental decline?

imo, Biden is not President nor is he running. imo, the issue is not worth the time to look into.

Biden is not running. Before this House Oversight Committe investigation, dems had good prospects for picking up seats in the House and the Senate in the upcoming mid-term elections.

Depending on how this HOC investigation plays out, those rosy prospects are diminishing. The way I see it, no matter WHAT the dems do, they lose.

If these people agree to testify, and spill the beans on the cover-up, independent voters will distrust democrats, which would likely result in lost votes. If they REFUSE to testify, then independent voters will distrust democrats, and that also results in lost votes. It's potentially a lose/lose scenario for dems.

 

[Dans La Lune]

A lot of things could turn the mid-terms. Your ideology's lies and ability to spin fascism, corruption, looting of the people vs. Democrats covering for Biden. What else?

ButwhataboutTrump, ButwhataboutTrump . . . it's been tried many times in this thread - they all failed.

Exactly. You don't care for actual accountability, but political theatre and maneuvering / messaging. AKA Partisan Hackery. Republicans turned Benghazi into a political scandal, Hillary's emails. I expect nothing less from you guys.

"Accountability"

 

[jaypatriot]

Nothing has been established that he was not sharp as ever. Do you really not understand this?

You are desperate to absolve Senile Joe of all responsibility for the causing the loss of the presidency to Trump.
He could have quit earlier but he believed he could be Trump because he had done it before. But his nefarious advisers told him he could somehow survive his disastrous debate performance against Trump last June.

Do you really not understand this?
Fortunately, the Dems voters will be so against any GOP candidate in 2028 they will vote for whomever the losing Dem candidate will be.
It's all about winning. It is not about who the best presidential candidate will be. That is what Dem voters believed about Hapless Harris who said she could not think of anything she would have done differently during her fateful tenure.
What a dumb answer from a clueless candidate who was singularly unqualified to be president.

 

[SkyChief]

Looting of the people??? LOL

This thread is about something else, entirely.

Exactly. You don't care for actual accountability, but political theatre and maneuvering / messaging.

In this case, yes. I think the republicans are sending a message. I don't think that anyone will actually be held accountable.

AKA Partisan Hackery. Republicans turned Benghazi into a political scandal, Hillary's emails. I expect nothing less from you guys.

Benghazi??? Hillary's emails??? This is complete nonsense.

"Accountability"

Accountability is an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one's actions. I don't think that it will happen, and I don't think that's even a goal of the House Oversight Committee's investigation. I think that they are sending a message to independent voters:

Don't trust democrats to do what's best for the People, or our country . . . they only want power.

 

[Dans La Lune]

Looting of the people??? LOL

Um, yeah. Turn on the news every once in a while. And I mean actual news, not whatever polluted swamp you get your talking points from.

In this case, yes. I think the republicans are sending a message. I don't think that anyone will actually be held accountable.

Benghazi, etc.

Hillary's emails??? WTF are you talking about?

The last 10+ years of politics.

Accountability is an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one's actions.

When's the last time a Republican has ever been held accountable for their mass corruption or criminality?

Lets take one case: Rick Scott

 

[forn]

Nothing has been established that he was not sharp as ever. Do you really not understand this?

I'll remember that next time he shakes hands with someone who isn't there.

Yes, I agree that she should have been more critical of her boss. It’s certainly no worse than this though:

What a dumb answer from a clueless candidate who was singularly unqualified to be president.

You could certainly say that about Trump’s answer.

Very much the opposite. Ginsburg also destroyed her legacy similarly.

Hapless Harris who said she could not think of anything she would have done differently during her fateful tenure.

Yep, this was crazy. Her campaign was terrible. Also, I called it right away, she ignored men, particularly white men.

Good final comment vet.
"Don't trust democrats to do what's best for the People, or our country . . . they only want power."

Why should Dems care what is good for the people?
Did they care when they conspired to put a doddering Old Joe to run for president in these perilous times and then shoved in an incompetent DEI hire Kamala to substitute for a senile candidate?
It's all about politic power and the Dems were stupid when it came to retaining it last year.

It is not like you to agree with me.
Are you the same poster as before?

Don't know what side of the fence you're standing on any more.

You're right. Trump was flailing around looking for a direction now that he won in 2016. The world was incredulous. We can only hope he makes some right choices going forward.

Held accountable for sticking around long past his use by date.
And I, for one, am glad he did. He did not give the party enough time to settle on a candidate who could beat Trump. Toooo bad.

That is why so many are confused by my posts. I am not on any side with one very big exception, Trump.

He is stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

Jake Tapper's new book "Original Sin" exposes the left's (and MSM's) concerted coverup regarding former president Biden's obvious cognitive decline.

If something is obvious, then it wasn't covered up.

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

Jake Tapper's new book "Original Sin" exposes the left's (and MSM's) concerted coverup regarding former president Biden's obvious cognitive decline.

Republican lawmakers are now demanding answers from Biden's inner-circle. The House Oversight Committee sent letters to Biden's physician and White House aides, requesting that they appear before the HOC for transcribed interviews.

"Five people were running the country, and Joe Biden was at best a senior member of the board." said one insider.

Poll: Will the House Oversight Committee's investigation result in accountability for the cover-up?

Yes - the American people deserve to know who was lying, and who were responsible.
Sort of - But the cover-up and collusion was too broad to implicate just a few people. The cover-up and the investigation will fade into obscurity.
No - this HOC investigation is a political stunt by republicans to disparage Biden's presidency.

“The cover-up of President Biden’s obvious mental decline is a historic scandal. The American people deserve to know when this decline began, how far it progressed, and who was making critical decisions on his behalf. Key executive actions signed by autopen, such as sweeping pardons for the Biden Crime Family, must be examined considering President Biden’s diminished capacity. Today, we are calling on President Biden’s physician and former White House advisors to participate in transcribed interviews so we can begin to uncover the truth. In the last Congress, the Biden White House blocked these individuals from providing testimony to the Oversight Committee as part of the effort to cover-up Biden’s declining health. Any continued obstruction will be met with swift and decisive action. The American people demand transparency and accountability now,”

Hundreds of medical professionals....HUNDREDS, line up to state that Trump is non compus mentus and the Right screams in outrage.
A news anchor writes a book and suddenly we're "GOING TO CONDUCT INVESTIGATIONS to UNCOVER THE TRUTH!"

Mumble mumble submarines can stay down for thirty years, trophy wives, Arnold Palmer's penis, magnets stop working when they get wet, windmill cancer, and the piece de resistance:
I DID WIN THE 2020 ELECTION, it's THE LAW NOW.

But nooooooooooo he's not demented!

 

[Gaius46]

Laws don't need to be broken to hold people or a group of people accountable. Ethics are in question here, and I think that's what the House Oversight Committee's goal is. I could be wrong - maybe they will try to finger individuals in the cover-up.

An ethical issue implies that someone has a duty to tell the public and, given that infirmities of past Presidents have largely not be disclosed, that doesn't seem to be the case. I'd also point out that "cover up" seems the wrong word here since it's almost always used in the context of criminal behavior and there is none here.

Honestly there seems little real point to an investigation. The man is gone and won't be coming back. People have formed their opinions already and what a bunch of politicians say isn't going to change that. He's old, has cancer and may not be long for this world leave him the **** alone.

or Independents may see the investigation as a "witch hunt"

As an independent, I do not trust many of the committees lead by the GOP. The majority of them are just Trump yes people.

Time will tell how this plays out.
