odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5113 | It's Woodrow Wilson all over again with wife Edith If Biden succumbs to his frailty, this could be the best scenario: Biden suffers a massive stroke. His wife Jill finds him unconscious on the floor of his bathroom. It becomes apparent to all that Biden can not fully function. Jill firmly steps in and begins making decisions. Consulting with physicians, she does not allow a consideration that her husband resign and have the vice president take over. Jill reveals a selfish ignorance leading her to decide that she and the President come before the normal functioning of the executive branch of government. The first move in establishing what she calls her “stewardship” is to mislead the entire nation, from the cabinet and Congress to the press and the people. When individual cabinet members come to confer with the president, they get no further than the first lady. If they have policy papers or pending decisions for him to review, edit or approve, she first looks over the material herself. The officials wait in the West Sitting Room hallway. I paraphrased that from the following account, edited: "he suffered a massive stroke. Edith found him unconscious on the floor of his bathroom. It was soon apparent to all that Wilson could not fully function.Edith firmly stepped in and began making decisions. Consulting with physicians, she would not even consider making her husband resign and have the vice president take over. That would only depress her Wilson. ...

The first move in establishing what she called her “stewardship” was to mislead the entire nation, from the cabinet and Congress to the press and the people. ...

I honestly have no idea what the pictures have to do with your bitter rant. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Morning Joe solved the mystery for me this morning. They had a good segment mocking the BDS sufferers who are apparently upset that we now have a president who actually reads his daily briefings and notes, as opposed to the prior dumbass who just watched cable news all day. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

No one denies that Biden is at least trying. And in general, I see nothing wrong with preparation and notes. But if you don’t see that he is an older gentleman in decline, then you are blind. Since policy is what really matters, I think he is ok if you are a Democrat. |

I will be VERY worried when Biden’s notes start looking like this: “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I don’t compare Biden with his predecessor. I compare him to what I want and expect from a President. Biden fails. It’s really simple. |

Why? What’s wrong with comparing? Most reviews include other products in the same category. Why is it off limits for people in a job? You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

So you prefer a president that reads what is front of him and likely doesn't understand most of it over a president that thinks for himself. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |
