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

[noonereal]

You're kidding me right? You don't remember the press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre talking about how sharp Biden was, or Kamala Harris saying she had never seen Biden decapacitated, or the Democratic press claiming that videos of Biden being feeble were Republican "cheap fakes"?

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

 

[noonereal]

Sadly, a mentally disabled Biden would still be a superior choice to Trump in his prime.

But he is not. He is just old.

 

[Eriech]

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,”

5 years late. Biden was the weekend at Bernie's canidate before he was president.

. . . As for creating a narrative for the midterms, well now, THERE is a twist.

Agreed. but dems are too ignorant to see it. This is a HUGE opportunity for the GOP to spread angst among independent voters.

Trump actually became MORE popular because of the Democrats investigating him and NOW Righties want to create the same situation by investigating Biden??

ButwhataboutTrump, ButwhataboutTrump, ButwhataboutTrump . . . LOL

Don't feel bad - you're not the first poster to get his stylus caught in this record groove.

Yup yup, voters are not going to vote on the economy, or on the markets, or on bread and butter issues, they are going to vote because Biden is being investigated.

But hey, talking about Biden at least is a nice distraction. So, there is that

This is a lot more than a "distraction". Depending on how it plays out, it could impact the Mid-term elections. Before the House Oversight Committee's investigation, dems had an excellent chance of winning majorities in both Houses (in my opinion). Now, that's no longer in the bag. Many independent voters are going to think twice before voting Democrat in midterms.

That said I still don't think anyone will be held personally accountable for the cover-up - it was too broad. The Democratic Party will pay the price in lost votes in midterms.

Sounds like you don’t want to debate.

I don't want a debate. This thread is a POLL. I just want people to vote in the poll. Why can't you left wingers figure this out? (rhetorical question - do not answer)

You just want to state your opinion and not have it challenged.

LOL It's a POLL. If you werent't interested, then you can move on to a different thread. Jeez.

Stating that Democrats are lying and deceitful and then tying to say pointing out that Republicans are far worse when it comes to lying and deceit is not allowed in your thread is not what Debate Politics is about.

Oh dear.

Perhaps this thread should be moved to a forum called right wingers opinions only if that’s what you want.

Your tantrums are noted (and appreciated).

 

[Middleground]

Oh Dear.

You don't have an intelligent argument, so instead you post an ad hominem attack. Sad.

I asked a question. How can you confuse a question with an attack?

 

[SkyChief]

I asked a question. How can you confuse a question with an attack?

There is no confusion on my part. The confusion is YOURS. Here was your dopey psychoanalysis of me (personally):

Oh boy... should we be worried about your cognitive decline?

You have no intelligent argument or comment about the topic of discussion, so instead you question MY cognitive decline.

That's known as an ad hominem logical fallacy. By using it, you have essentially forfeited the argument.

In other words, YOU LOST. You'll need to deal with that reality.

I asked you if you knew that Reagan was out of it for most of his second term... You asked "who is that?"
Why is it surprising that I had to ask about your possible decline since even the dumbest of the dumb know who Reagan is.

 

[SNOWFLAKE]

ButwhataboutTrump, ButwhataboutTrump, ButwhataboutTrump . . . LOL

I was making a point, one that you clearly missed, but if Righties don't want take a lesson from the last time a political party did nothing but investigate their opponents, well, they DO say ignorance is bliss.

Many independent voters are going to think twice before voting Democrat in midterms.

Keep dreaming. AGAIN, you missed my earlier point. Independents especially want a government that governs, not one - whether Democrat or Republican - that doesn't govern because they are too busy with their witch hunts. If you REALLY believe what you posted, well.............. best I not comment.

In other words, YOU LOST. You'll need to deal with that reality.

Oh, now there is an original line of attack. YOU LOST. How convincing

 

[mike2810]

No that's not what holding people accountable means. House Republicans are laying the foundation for a narrative, and that is democrats are liars, and they cannot be trusted. Republican already know this and probably some democrats do too.

I for one do not trust many of the House Republicans. Especially members of the Freedom Caucus.
imo, the GOP is no better than the Democrats.

The message needs to go out to the independent voters. If done right, the House Oversight Committee can finger a few key players, and that might result in fewer independents voting for dems in the midterms.

With Independent's being a growing voter block you are correct the message needs to address their concerns.
imo, the GOP is doing a terrible job in messaging. Many Independents I associate with do not accept some of the bs coming out of the GOP.

Judging from some of the (inane) comments in this thread, I don't think that the left fully understands the implications of the messaging.

what is the "messaging" as you see it?

Fair point. I still think that this about getting the electorate aware and informed about the crap that dems pull. This is all messaging, and it can still be very effective without indictments against specific individuals.

If one does not realize that political parties pull "crap", then one is naive.

I still find it interesting that the GOP still talks about the "rigged" 2020 election. I for one am still waiting for the evidence to be presented.

 

[SkyChief]

You got stuck in the ButwhataboutTrump logical fallacy, and you got caught. Live and learn.

You are compelled to comment - even when you clearly have no insight or information on the topic.

Oh, now there is an original line of attack. YOU LOST. How convincing

That post was for a different person.

Wake up.

I asked you if you knew that Reagan was out of it for most of his second term... You asked "who is that?"
Why is it surprising that I had to ask about your possible decline since even the dumbest of the dumb know who Reagan is.

You're trying (in vain) to rationalize your stupid question: "should we be worried about YOUR cognitive decline?".

There is no intelligent answer to a stupid question. I will not be dragged down that rabbit-hole. Your non-argument is based on logical fallacy.

 

[SNOWFLAKE]

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm, re-read THAT comment and "get" the irony.

That post was for a different person.

It was still a lame comment. Childish actually. YOU LOST. I hear that in a kindergarten playground all the time. "You lost narnie narnie narnie."
To hear that from an adult is quite striking.

I will not be dragged down that rabbit-hole.

Actually, you can't let a topic go without having the last word. I know that is how you roll, and you know that I know. So yeah, YOU WILL BE DRAGGED DOWN THAT RABBIT HOLE - willingly.

Just to prove my point, you can have the last word, just to prove you can't resist the urge to take it.

Oh dear.

Your tantrums are noted (and appreciated).

This poll simply shows 65 percent of those who voted want to believe this is simply the Republicans trying to disparage Biden's Administration. Well, that's not really hard to do.
Simply put, the Dems anti-Trumpers really don't give a shit Biden was a walking incompetent who was propped up by his wife and desperate advisors who wanted to win at any cost. And what really roils the losing Dems is that Trump won fairly and squarely over Hapless Harris. They didn't even have a chance to declare Trump had a fraudulent victory.
But, the good news for Dems is the voters really don't give a shit about an obvious coverup and the duping of those all voters who were desperate to beat Trump. Next year, the Dems have a chance to win back the House so they can mount an impeachment attack on Trump and perhaps win over some GOP members who will be threatened by a loss in their shaky districts.
It's not about uncovering an obvious coverup. It's about winning something (anything) next year in order to make the Dems relevant in our two-party political system.
Coverup? What coverup?

 

[SkyChief]

I for one do not trust many of the House Republicans. Especially members of the Freedom Caucus.
imo, the GOP is no better than the Democrats.

Agreed.

With Independent's being a growing voter block you are correct the message needs to address their concerns.

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

imo, the GOP is doing a terrible job in messaging. Many Independents I associate with do not accept some of the bs coming out of the GOP.

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.

what is the "messaging" as you see it?

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

I still find it interesting that the GOP still talks about the "rigged" 2020 election.

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

I for one am still waiting for the evidence to be presented.

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.

Wow - that is one the most unhinged posts I have ever seen - - even from you.
Anyways, your little tantrum is noted (and appreciated).

 

[Gaius46]

Edith Wilson effectively ran the executive branch for 18 months after Woodrow Wilson had a stroke. Nancy Reagan had an outsized role in running the country in Reagan's 2nd term. And those are the two we know of.

Biden clearly was bad in public and was likely not nearly as swift as he was as younger man. That does not mean that he was a drooling idiot in private as conservative media wanted us to believe without any evidence whatsoever.

Held accountable? What laws were broken? Anyone with 2 eyes could see how Biden was in public.

Democrats lie. Republicans lie. Glass houses and stones.

 

[SkyChief]

. . . Biden clearly was bad in public and was likely not nearly as swift as he was as younger man. That does not mean that he was a drooling idiot in private as conservative media wanted us to believe without any evidence whatsoever.

I really don't think that is the goal.

Held accountable? What laws were broken?

Laws don't need to be broken to hold individuals (or a group of individuals) 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.

We'll see. It's possible that the people the HOC asked to testify will simply refuse. That would make things really interesting.

That’s pretty funny. Apparently you don’t understand what the “Debate” part of debate politics is about.

If things were as you believe them to be then comments in the POLLS section would be turned off.

I can understand that it is upsetting to you when comments are made that show your thesis is wrong, comments that show the exact opposite is true, but sometimes that happens.

You (and others) got triggered. That was not the intent of the thread, OR the poll question. But I'll admit that it's funny to see all of foot-stomping and fist-pumping from the lefties.

I'm not "upset". I find the tantrums of the left amusing.

when comments are made that show your thesis is wrong, comments that show the exact opposite is true, but sometimes that happens.

Not ONE comment or argument (so far) has shown my thesis wrong. The question is: Will anyone be held accountable for the cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline?

My opinion is NO.

 

[Middleground]

You're trying (in vain) to rationalize your stupid question: "should we be worried about YOUR cognitive decline?".

There is no intelligent answer to a stupid question. I will not be dragged down that rabbit-hole. Your non-argument is based on logical fallacy.

So you do know who Reagan was?

 

[SkyChief]

So you do know who Reagan was?

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.

should we be worried about your cognitive decline?

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

My opinion is NO.

As you said in an earlier post:

This thread is about the lying and deceitful democrats who cannot be trusted. Voters need to know what the left is capable of.

That is your thesis and by any rational measure it’s Republicans who are lying and deceitful. They have built an administration whose guiding principles are largely based on a bunch of lies like these:

The 2020 election was stolen.

Climate change is a hoax.

Most illegal immigrants are dangerous criminals, only some are good people.

Tariffs on China are paid by China.

China operates the Panama canal.

The U.S. is the only country with birthright citizenship.

January 6 was a love fest.

EV’s are going to put our automakers out of business.

Trump won the 2024 election by a landslide.

Ukraine started the Russia/Ukraine war.

There’s no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective.

Vietnam charges a 90% tariff to the USA.

[Dans La Lune]

You know what, it will actually work. Look at Fast and Furious, Benghazi, But Her Emails, Obama Lied about the ACA, etc.

There isn't a narrative that exists that right-wing imbeciles won't swallow whole-hook. Republicans can lie a million times over, and actively steal from you to pay for tax cuts for the rich. But if Dems cover for a politician (something never done for Trump *snicker*), they are clearly a pack of liars. This is the world we live in. Republicans are graded on a curve.

 

[antiquity]

Are serious about the third option?
No - this HOC investigation is a political stunt by republicans to disparage Biden's presidency.
You want to blame republicans for the democrat's failure to share Biden's decline after they knew, for about three years, that there was something wrong with Biden.
Hilarious...the old head in the sand trick.
What a bunch of nut jobs who think that.
