    Petrified of wrestling with their own mortality.

    I see.

    So, if things go well for Trump, he’s a turd for
    taking the credit for Biden’s work…

    ..and if things don’t go well for Trump, he’s a turd for not doing well. …?

    Do you hear yourself?

    Joe Biden and Kamala should be on a contest to see who can put a complete thought out in a sentence

    I don’t think this is the scandal the OP is trying to propagate. Everyone could see that Biden decline physically after about a year in office. It was the subject of many debates on the right.

    The questions on the left was-

    -Can he still govern and the consensus was yes. He was still getting a lot done and pretty much everyone on the left was happy enough with a productive president that maybe wasn’t the representative of youth and vigor.

    -Can he campaign for president in a rigorous brutal campaign?

    Obviously the answer to that question became painfully obvious during the first debate. He could have good moments like the state of the union but it’s obvious he’s going to not be able to hold up over a campaign where he needs to be out prosecuting the case and every once in awhile he can’t explain where he is.

    So his advisers and definitely his family that see him behind closed doors should have told him Joe… you’re not running again and as soon as his major legislation is passed you make the announcement and you let the primary process happen organically where I think someone out there probably runs a compelling outsider campaign that does better than having to carry the baggage of an unpopular incumbent.

    If we can be honest for a second too… Biden‘s record if he was a central casting 50 something stern talking white Republican who was in the news a lot … would have been held up as one of the greatest presidencies in US history but we live in America where Biden was unpopular because nobody saw or heard from him because our media does not get good ratings by covering an old democrat who mumbles. It’s not good TV. Therefore… unpopular. Excuses about Afghanistan or 5 dollar eggs are just that. We all know that even though the MAGAs will never admit that.

    I would say it’s water under the bridge but of course it’s not. Biden and those close to him sacrificed the future of the country falling into an corrupt fascistic hellhole just because they thought they could hide Biden’s on the campaign trail, luck out with a few good performances when they needed it, and still beat Trump even though all the polling showed he was going to get clobbered.

    I like Joe Biden but I’ll be honest and say yeah… fck him and the people around him. They screwed up and we are all going to pay for their bs.

    I am not saying this report is wrong. I just find it odd that Republicans here believe "Biden" staffers, but they don't believe Trump's previous administration when they say Trump is terrible for the country.

    lol

    Ex-CNN pundit Chris Cillizza offers ‘confession’ after explosive report on Biden’s mental decline from Day 1

    https://nypost.com/2024/12/20/media/ex-cnn-pundit-chris-cillizza-says-he-shouldve-covered-bidens-decline-more
    excerpt:

    “The White House and the people around Joe Biden were absolutely adamant that suggesting anything- asking the question about whether he was in some physical, mental or both decline, was offensive,” Cillizza said on Thursday.

    “‘How could you? It’s age shaming.’ And I think that impacted me at some level,” he admitted.

    Well, when you say...
    ... well, that tells me that if President Trump "acts like he did it" you're going to call him a turd for taking credit for someone else's work.

    ...and you certainly will call him a turd if things don't go well while he's in office...

    That pretty much explains how I got that from what you wrote. Your statement was quite clear to me. And, since your statement wasn't even clear to yourself...well, then... no, I guess you don't hear yourself.

    It is well known that USUALLY the first year or 2 of a President's term are a result of his predecessors economic policies. Unless that new President does something which can immediately cause disruptions like enacting blanket tariffs on every single import.

    No.

    I said he will take credit if those policy decisions by the current administration work out.

    I'll call him a turd if he warrants it. I'm definitely open minded about his new term rather than starting off doom and gloom.

    That's good. Give it chance. He might do well. He might f**k everything up. We'll see.
