QOTD -- The Olympic Downhill Of A Cognitive Decline

 

"It is now beyond hopeless to expect the elite political press to cover what is plainly happening before its eyes as regards Fulton County (Ga.) Inmate No. P01135809, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination for president of the United States. On Monday, he went up to New Hampshire to put in his papers for that state's primary. In connection with this, he gave a speech in Derry. During this speech, he provided more convincing evidence that he is out of his freaking mind.  [snip]

"So the leading Republican candidate for president got up in public with his frontal lobes apparently leaking out of his ears, and you will not find a single account of this speech that states this obvious fact clearly and without equivocation. This, of course, is happening in a campaign in which the president's age is considered to be a live and important issue in the upcoming election. But the former president's obvious Olympic downhill of a cognitive decline is treated as an ugly side of his eccentric political persona. Each fable or fabrication is debunked—or "fact-checked"—as an individual aberrant moment, and not as cumulative evidence that his chandelier is winking out, one bulb at a time."  -- Esquire's Charles P. Pierce, on the normalization of the Malignant Loser's severe cognitive decline by the media, who love to come back to President Biden's age at every opportunity.  Pierce offers examples from the speech in Derry that prove his point, which we've left out of the snippet.  Whenever the Malignant Loser opens his mouth and the bile, ignorance, fatuity and vileness pour out, those occasions seem to end up on the editing room floor.  We're replaying 2016 again, though this time around it will be part fascist rally, part courtroom drama.
