Big Pharma tried their hand at the scheme in 2020...it went pretty well for them.

Less than a week until the presidential debate. What are your thoughts? I think we can all agree that from what we have seen from both candidates there is a substantial difference in their ability. Will the dems bring out a double to represent biden or will it be a special cocktail of meds to help him through?

I think this is a setup by the dems to convince the party and biden, to step down at the democratic convention. They will then nominate harris as the presidential elect for 24. This sounds moronic at first glance, but she will pick more of the black and women votes. Will she win? Who knows. Does she a better chance than biden? Definitely. If you’re going to manipulate an election the outcome has to be plausible.

Although you must conclude unanimously that the defendant conspired to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means, you need not be unanimous as to what those unlawful means were.

In determining whether the defendant conspired to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means, you may consider the following unlawful means: (1) violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act otherwise known as FECA; (2) the falsification of other business records; or (3) violation of tax laws.

Its hard to deny that a woman handler had to go get him because he was (A) wandering away from the event, or (B) was going to converse with someone.

This would be hilarious, except for all of the tax dollars associated with this ruse.

For as much as folks on the far-right like to complain about the "mainstream media" having a leftist agenda, as this far-left poster (who is, himself, a contributor to the New York Times, one of the publications cited here) observes, the mainstream media sure does seem to be focusing an awful lot on President Biden's age and deteriorating mental state.

The president's cognitive ability is a serious concern, and the coverage matches the importance. It will be an interesting debate tomorrow. If biden can actually debate it will be a miracle. Maybe almost unbelievable. Might consider him to be replaced with a double or on some special meds. Either way I'm getting the popcorn and some bourbon ready for the event.
