29. Decline and normal aging are two very different things

Tue Jun 2, 2026, 08:58 PM

Tuesday

He flew around the world twice in those 12 days before the debate, going to France for a D-Day event, coming back, then going to Italy for the G7 conference! And then back to LA for a fundraiser. If Joe Biden was so incapacitated that his staff was trying to hide him, why the h*ll would they risk his appearances at such high stakes events in such a short amount of time? It’s not like he was vacationing in those 12 days of international travel.

I saw Joe Biden at the G7 summit and D-Day event, and the super high stakes press conference after his bad debate. I challenge someone 1/2 of Joe Biden’s age to do so well under so much pressure.
