Were the Leftists on DP, those who claimed Biden was mentally capable of being president, duped or were they fundamentally dishonest?

From National Review:

The Wall Street Journal is out today with a toweringly important story documenting how President Joe Biden’s close-knit circle of advisers sought to swindle the public, the press, and even Biden’s legislative allies and cabinet appointees about the rapidly deteriorating state of the president’s mental health. It’s a 3,800-word, deeply sourced blockbuster that takes the story from summer 2021 — keep that date in your back pocket for a moment — all the way to the last desperate month after Biden’s debate meltdown. It is the first in what I anticipate will be a series of deeply reported “what went wrong” stories on the Biden White House emerging from the mainstream media — “Now the real story can be told!” — since the race is over and Trump won.

...After reading through the Journal’s report twice I have provisionally concluded that, despite all the various financial scandals, crony corruption, authoritarian overreach, and third-rate burglaries in American politics, this is the biggest scandal the presidency has ever seen, because it runs to the core of what the presidency is supposed to be. For practically his entire term, Joe Biden has been, if not non compos mentis — on a rare “good day” — then at least severely mentally diminished or periodically incapacitated. At no point during his time in office has he been fit for the presidency.

The only other American scandal this elemental — one that risks the entire premise of executive government, that the president and not some shadowy cabal is the sole elected decision-maker — is the eeriest historical parallel of them all: Edith Wilson’s concealment from the public of her husband Woodrow Wilson’s 1919 stroke. She acted as de facto president for the rest of his term, and her imperious incompetence destroyed the effort to ratify Versailles in the Senate, ensuring the failure of Wilson’s internationalist legacy. Much the same could be said about the historically disastrous economic, immigration, and international policy drift of the Biden Era — as might well be expected from a president who began his term already asleep at the wheel.

Don’t feel an ounce of pity for Joe Biden as he fades into disgrace.

Push poll is dismissed with mockery and ridicule.

Yes, WE won't play the stupid game of pretend that the left did.

Of, course, I have no fear of Vance being a completely useless dei hire, who would lead my party to ruin.

You know what's great about this screeching about DEI? It's done no matter what, no matter whom the subject is.

It's just modern right wing jargon for the regular old racial slurs.

It's out. It's always been out there. Biden was never fit to be President. The signs were like the jumbotron scoreboards at an NFL games flashing neon text that Biden's Brain is Dead.
. Were Leftists duped by their corrupt media sources, or were they fundamentally dishonest like the media they revere?

Keep saying it, but who is POTUS today, right now?

He's fine, he clearly lost a step at some point and they've covered for him.

That's not even especially unusual, there were similar situations for Reagan, JKF, Roosevelt, and others.

The ones who fervently defended him while ignoring completely obvious signs knew and were intentionally gaslighting about it.

Nobody who's physiologically capable of walking upright could be so stupid as to see those blatantly obvious signs of neurological/cognitive impairment and come to any other conclusion.

It's a great litmus test for which people are dishonest and manipulative sociopaths, though.

Point being that many of us were pointing this out as far back as before the start of the 2020 Election period.

Yet organs like MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, NY Times, Washington Post, hell, just about every Television and Print Media aside from FOX News, the NY Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Examiner, and a few other small newspapers, gave both cover and positive coverage of "Basement Joe." All the while printing/broadcasting the most diabolical propaganda efforts since the Nazis and Soviets against Trump.

 

[Hello My Son]

And you don't see Trump's cognitive decline? His happy immorality? His bizarre beliefs? His inability to tell the truth about anything?

It's always fascinating when people come to a poll thread about a topic and engage in a whataboutism instead of just making a new poll thread about the other topic they prefer to discuss.

 

[BabaVoss]

Biden is currently our President. He has been among the better President's we have had. The incoming president, donald trump, having served one chaotic term, is ranked far below Joe Biden.

It seems very likely that trump will remain at or near the bottom of any ranking of US Presidents.

The larger problem was, even after the release of the Robert Hur report, they continued (to double down on?) their lies. It wasn’t until a significant portion of the donor class pulled the plug on funding demorat candidates than any action was taken by demorats to remove Joe “Where am I?” Biden from the ballot, making it ‘safe’ for the bulk of the MSM to tell the truth.

He shit the bed in a debate he had no reason to partake in.

Biden has been 'shitting the bed' for a long time before then.

how Biden’s closest aides and advisers would manage the limitations of the oldest president in U.S. history during his four years in office.​

​

To adapt the White House around the needs of a diminished leader, they told visitors to keep meetings focused. Interactions with senior Democratic lawmakers and some cabinet members—including powerful secretaries such as Defense’s Lloyd Austin and Treasury’s Janet Yellen—were infrequent or grew less frequent. Some legislative leaders had a hard time getting the president’s ear at key moments, including ahead of the U.S.’s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan.​

​

Senior advisers were often put into roles that some administration officials and lawmakers thought Biden should occupy, with people such as National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, senior counselor Steve Ricchetti and National Economic Council head Lael Brainard and her predecessor frequently in the position of being go-betweens for the president.​

​

Press aides who compiled packages of news clips for Biden were told by senior staff to exclude negative stories about the president. The president wasn’t talking to his own pollsters as surveys showed him trailing in the 2024 race.​

The Biden administration, Dems, Libs, the Dem's MSM propagandists all covered this up, which most of the electorate already had come to realize.

It spurned media outlets to start the rumblings for him to step aside for 2024.

Biden debate performance was the the last straw which broke the camel's back, it could no longer be silenced, suppressed, covered up.

This poll is a waste of pixels.

Really? Discussing the scandalous cover up of Biden’s cognitive decrepitude is a waste? A major political party with support from their media allies knowingly lies to cover up a POTUS who is dependent on a detailed script to make a public appearance. Even then he can't get through without spouting jibberish.
