        Biden is saying it's a mixture of being sleepy, jet lagged, and his advisers prepping him too hard for the debate. He did not mention a cold during his post-debate speeches.

        His press secretary is saying it's jet lag and a cold but without any medication for it.

        Because they're both lying it's wildly inconsistent and changes daily.

            He only works from 11am to 4pm with a nap during that. He needs time to coordinate a proper response that isn't just gaslighting us.

          his advisers prepping him too hard for the debate

          This is the one bit I think is true, and picked up on during thr debate itself as he garbled what we're probably weirdly specific talking points together in the worst ways.

          But that's not an out.

          That means that even with six days worth of practice he can't learn and recall maybe two dozens facts and responses, with no ability whatsoever to think on his feet, or even the self awareness to realise to just avoid bit and give a generic answer.

          Forgetting isn't the worst part. It happens to people with memory loss and dementia (although it should definitely rule younout of being president). Snippets of memories and ideas firing and being blurted out uncontrollably with no self-awareness or recognition that it's gibberish the biggest fucking issue.

          A 95 year old neighbour with dementia that requires three times a day at home care, plus family every day, and me nost other days, is more together than that because they still know when they've lost what they were saying or forgotten who they're talking to etc.

          The fact that advisors etc believed or were hoping they could prep around such a deteriorated mental state means they're almost as delusional as he is, but the difference is they should know better.

      Look, he was on a winning streak and his friend said "no logging off til we lose", it's not his fault he was up all night!

      So his excuse is that being president is too tiring. Maybe he should let someone else do the job. (oh, right, he's handing it to Trump)

      Biden had a hangover from playing the Elden Ring DLC until 4:00 AM

    Of course he does. It just goes to show he doesn't care about the country. Anyone in his condition can't run the US the way it needs to be run

      Exactly! He can't run into the ground quickly enough. I don't need this country hobbling into fascism. Let's just let it all come to an end.

    Perfect for DNC, they'd much rather Trump be in office for what they're going to try to do in Gaza, regardless of who wins.

    Imagine if a hardcore anti-Trump deep state lanyard nerd terrified of getting fired by Trump and replaced by a steaming bag of Pizza Ranch gravy finds the heart attack gun and takes care of the "Biden problem" on their own

      Superdelegates are the minority of overall delegates. They could easily tip the scales in a contested primary. But Biden had an overwhelming number of the regular delegates committed to him since he was the only candidate.

      Makes me wonder if anyone is kicking themselves for not running against him in the primary

    Funniest timeline is democrats split the vote, but Biden wins by a razor thin margin. Both Trump and anti-Biden democrats claim election fraud. Trump voters do another useless January 6, but anti-Biden democrats also include military officers and generals which result in an actual coup to dispose Biden
