Participant: We have all seen the decline of bids in real time. The scandal is how few people took care of it

For weeks, the Americans have been owned by Joe Bidens Fitness as President for weeks – left, right and incurable. The whispering over the cognitive decline, as soon as the province of Fox News and tableled crank the province of Fox News, has become the mainstream. With the publication of some top-class books and a report in which it was confirmed that prostate cancer was diagnosed at biden, the narrative has even directed something that is almost scandalous and even unpaintable. A full -grown cover -up.

Is that an understandable, albeit predictable reaction? Secure. But we don't pretend that this is a shocking action. Biden has been working on a dashboard in public for a decade – a fact that, after his notorious debate in June 2024, was undeniable with Donald Trump.

Who is to blame? Let's start with bidens inner circle. The underlying fee is that bidges with someone at the wheel have fallen asleep different Driving the presidential bus. We have seen this story before: nod the figurehead, grab the handler and the country rolls more or less. At different degrees of perception, similar fees were assessed in the administrations of Woodrow Wilson (Hi, Edith) and Ronald Reagan (Hi, Nancy).

My attitude to bidges is pretty much the same as with Reagan. Whoever The country was not half bad. Sure, maybe Uncle Joe did not take the bike as tight as before. But at least the bus stayed between the lines.

Whether it was Jill Biden, “The political office”(A cabal of top adjutants who are accused of having carried out the show) or a Microsoft Excel table -the government was largely worked. The Ukraine was financed, the stock market was not imploded and its chances of being sent to prison in El Salvador were practically Nile.

Yes, mistakes were made during Biden's presidency. A lot. The Afghan withdrawal was a disaster. Illegal border crossings rose. Bidens Covid Equalization Probably juicing inflation. But these were not disturbed or sleeping as part of the wheel: They were foreseeable politics who agreed with Bidens worldview (similar to an NFL coach who decided to prevent a prevention in the third quarter, but understandable).

The more obvious problem was to communicate bidens inability. Biden could not explain where he wanted to take the bus, let alone confidence in his ability to bring us there. And that's not just a bad political look. It is a real governance problem. If FDR murmured through the Fireside chats, we could all speak German.

Biden insiders blinked and did in such a way that everything was fine. Not because they are bad guys, but also because the closeness to power is addictive.

Other bids -enablers had more noble reasons to convince themselves of the goals that justified the funds. When Trump represents an existential threat to democracy, it was a moral imperative to keep grandpa Joe upright – literally, metaphorical, pharmaceutical -.

Against understand: Trump's lies about the 2020 elections led to an armed mob that sang over the hanging of the Vice President. The exaggeration via bidens fitness mainly led to unpleasant silence and gentle nudges outside the stage.

But that's not Only About biden's inner circle is wrong. The media were also complicit. Their main contribution was not or even turned (although there are examples for both). The dirty secret of the modern media is: Yes, the news industry leans Liberal. But more than that tends to drama, car hunting and celebrity exams.

Biden, blessing his heart, is boring. And thanks to Trump's preference for being the bride at every wedding and every funeral, do you advise who has attracted attention?

Do you think I make excuses or exaggerated? A mere two Days after the report was published in which the special lawyer Robert Hur Biden “described”well -intentioned, older man with a bad memory“Trump tried to change the topic to attack Nikki Haley's husband (who was in a military commitment)) And 2) NATO allies say that he would not honor our contract and that it would not defend it from Russia if they did not pay their bills.

An old maxim says you should never affect your opponent when he commits suicide. Well, bids had just drowned and Trump threw him a life protection.

Again, The “media” do not ignore bidens age. Respected veteran Washington Post Columnist David Ignatius wrote a sober plea for him to step aside. David Axelrod – Barack Obama's own Jedi – Alarm sounded Everywhere in the mainstream media. DevilPresent I stacked myselfPresent to.

The reporting existed. But media distortions not just about what is reported. It's about what gets repeated. Loud. Over and over again. So, yes, bidens decline was reported and discussed. It was simply not reinforced.

Now we can pretend that this is a cunning action. Or we can admit that real life is not a “house of cards” or even “Veep”. It was much more banal: collective inertia.

In the end, the scandal is not that the media and democratic partisans have teamed up to keep us in the dark about Joe Biden's fitness. The scandal is that the truth was hidden in sight (in sightThe American public knew that bidges were not suitable), but many elites have decided not to see it.

Not because they are evil, but because of loyalty, closeness, exhaustion and yes, despair. Because they are human.

And maybe, just because they were afraid of what (or who) would come next when the old man finally flipped out of the stage.
