Breaking: Biden is old and forgetful

I was rather taken aback by how many leftists jumped around like poo-flinging monkeys when it was announced Special Counsel Robert Hur would not recommend criminal charges against President Joe Biden over his mishandling of classified documents. Not because I somehow believed proggies would be intellectually consistent by maintaining the same energy they did when calling for Donald Trump's head over similar indiscretions. No, my surprise was rooted in the fact that they don't seem to grasp that the reason Biden won't be charged isn't exactly bolstering his reelection chances. 

The special counsel also described Biden as "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

OK, this isn't exactly news that Biden is a doddering old fool. But to have someone in an official capacity come right out and say it is quite damning.

Instead of sleeping on it and crafting a response in the morning, the President decided to hold an impromptu press conference to respond to the Special Counsel's report. And it went about as well as you'd expect. 

Biden tries cracking jokes when asked serious questions about his mental acuity.

The press got the memo -

After ignoring Biden’s cognitive decline for years, it has now become an issue.

Knowing that Biden has rarely (if ever) done public appearances before 10:00 a.m or after 7:00 p.m. throughout most of his presidency, I can't imagine his handlers endorsed this move. Given members of his administration run roughshod over him when he actually is pragmatic (i.e. defending Israel's right to exist shortly after the 10/7/2023 terror attacks against the country), I find it difficult to believe they couldn't prevent this disastrous scenario from taking place. 

If I were a conspiracy theorist, I might be inclined to believe that the President's disillusioned staff is tired of playing "Weekend at Biden's" and thus they actually encouraged him to call this gathering. The reason for that of course is to put on full display how utterly inept he is, thus sending a strong signal to fellow Democrats that pressing forth in the '24 campaign with this walking cadaver puts Trump in a prime position to win in November. 

If Democrats are as concerned about Trump being this grand threat to our republic as they constantly say, there's already a plan in motion to oust Biden as their nominee. I get that a political party attempting to usurp its incumbent President from running for reelection doesn't have precedence, but Trump being this grand threat means all options have to be on the table. Anything short of extreme measures will tell you that their pearl clutching over Trump is little more than hyperbole in order to scare low information voters.
