President Faustus

Thank Goodness Those Dementia Rumors Have Been Put to Rest

Am I the only one who is glad Joe Biden proved there is nothing wrong with his memory? What a relief.

What a week it has been. Biden claimed he met recently with Helmut Kohl and Francois Mitterand, two people who died before he became president. Then special counsel Hur, who was appointed to investigate his crimes, said Biden could not remember when he was vice president or when his beloved son died. He couldn’t even give a ballpark guess about the death of his son, who passed in 2015. Hur said Biden had committed felonies, but he chose not to prosecute because he was afraid it would be hard to convict a man who could use his advanced age and “poor memory” to charm a jury.

He said Biden committed crimes, and he started committing them when he was a senator, when he still had some idea who he was and what day it was. Biden carefully brags that the prosecutor chose not to charge him. He says that because he can’t say the prosecutor didn’t say he was guilty.

It’s a fascinating situation. Biden and Trump are accused of the same crimes, along with some obstructive efforts on Trump’s behalf, and Biden’s prosecutor says Biden is guilty. Biden and Trump are about the same age, but only Biden is accused of committing crimes when he was young and relatively sound of mind. The only reason Trump got worse treatment is that unlike Biden, he is NOT demented. Dementia, which Biden denies, is Biden’s successful defense.

Even better for Biden, this is an extraordinary defense, because the suspect doesn’t have to prove it. The prosecutor made the defense for him.

It’s not completely true that Trump was treated worse because his mind is sound. Trump also got worse treatment because the system is always unfair to him. If he were demented, he would still be facing charges. They would charge him if he were in a rest home, wearing diapers and wondering who his family members were.

People think “demented” is a word that only applies to individuals who are completely gone. Not true at all. It just means you have at least begun to have serious cognitive problems. The facts that Biden can still dress himself and cut his own meat (assuming these things are true) don’t mean he isn’t demented. Biden is no longer capable of leading the life of an employed individual in a position requiring responsibility and the mastery of a lot of facts. He is demented.

Bruce Willis continued making movies after he lost much of his mind. He was not completely helpless, but he was definitely demented.

When humble people become demented, they are more likely to perceive the problem and admit they have it. They make good patients. Arrogant people like Biden are different, probably because arrogance is a delusion one has to nurture. By the time an arrogant person starts to lose it, he or she has already spent decades lying to him- or herself. Such people depend on their inflated self-appraisals to protect them from scary feelings of inferiority, which, in the case of 11th-percentile law school graduate Biden, are justified.

Arrogant dementia sufferers lash out at people who tell them the truth, because they see control and admiration slipping away from them. Biden is lashing out now. He lashed out at the prosecutor and the press. He asked how the prosecutor could “dare” ask him about his son, as though it were somehow outrageous to ask a parent a simple question about an adult son who died over 8 years ago.

Arrogant people are irrational and dishonest. You can’t be arrogant and truthful. Biden is used to lying and bullying people who tell him the truth about himself. These are habits, and habits are the last things to go when dementia sets in.

I love my late father, but he was arrogant, too. He could not make himself admit he had dementia. When he quit practicing law, he made it sound like he had made a decision to relax and enjoy life, but the truth is that he was no longer capable of the job. A big client dropped him, and I think his dementia was the reason.

I’ve seen Biden’s problem up close, so I know a little bit.

My dad lost the ability to find his way around in a car. He lost his ability to keep up with his affairs. He didn’t lose the bad habits of pride and denial until close to the end. Biden will go out the same way, but because he is far more arrogant and much less intelligent than my dad was, he will probably never admit he has a problem.

While he was angrily slandering people who told the truth about him, trying to refute Hur’s claims, Biden claimed Egypt’s president actually ran Mexico. He said he had been busy trying to get the president of Mexico to let aid into Gaza.

I get it. Egypt is to the south of Gaza, and these countries share a border. Mexico is south of the US, and we share a border. Egypt and Mexico are backward, corrupt countries whose leaders have to be humored and cajoled in order to get them to do the right things. But they’re in different hemispheres. For a demented person, they would be easy to conflate. Gaza isn’t America, and no one with a functioning mind could confuse them.

It’s really disgusting to see Jill Biden take up for him. She claims she knows better than we do, because she is with him all the time, witnessing his amazing state of dynamic non-dementia.

What a liar. This is the same person we see on video, giving him answers to questions and helping him find his way off stages. No one has ever had to lead Donald Trump or even Mitch McConnell, who is also demented, off a stage.

I think Jackie Kennedy ruined first ladies. She was a somewhat loose woman descended from a true, non-Irish, upper-crust family. She wore Chanel. She was thin. She looked pretty as long as the camera was not very close or focused too tightly. She was a socialite. America fawned on her. I think she gave the position of first lady a type of glamour it had never possessed before. No one got excited about what Mamie Eisenhower, Bess Truman, or Eleanor Roosevelt wore.

I suspect that Jill Biden is in love with her position of unearned envy and admiration, and that she would say nearly anything to keep Joe in office, regardless of whether he were competent or even conscious.

She says she knows him better than we do. That’s true. That means she has been aware of his dementia longer. She knows what his doctors and handlers do to hide it. She knows about the hair transplants, fake teeth, and facelift. She should have been the first to oppose his 2020 run, but in order to do that, she would have had to care about America more than herself.

Now even leftist reporters are badgering Biden about his obvious senility. I guess a truth explosion is taking place. The new Biden revelations came out on a day other than Friday, so the lazy, lying press has to confront them.

What’s happening to Biden reminds me of the Dudley Moore movie, Bedazzled. Satan approaches a man and grants his wishes in exchange for his soul, but the man is not smart enough to make wishes Satan can’t twist, so Satan keeps his end of the deal while seeing to it the wishes become sources of misery, not pleasure. Biden’s pitiable drive to glorify himself as president and enrich his children has been fulfilled, but he got elected after he was senile, he and his living children are objects of global contempt and ridicule, his best adult child died young, and the two remaining children are drug and sex addicts, one of whom is likely to go to prison before the election, which Biden will lose because people generally think he’s a fool. That’s assuming he ends up on the ballot, which may not happen.

It’s remarkable that the report was released so early in the week. That is inconsistent with the Deep State’s long history of protecting leftist presidents. Standard practice is to drop bombs into the soft, deep, absorbent sand of Fridays, because journalists are extremely indolent and low in competence, and most don’t work weekends. Perhaps Hur is more concerned with his own reputation than Biden’s. After all, he will still have a career to worry about next year.

Is it possible he’s just being fair? I don’t know. He’s a Republican. If he’s being fair, why would he refuse to prosecute Biden, given that he concluded Biden is guilty? Maybe he’s right to think he will be hard to convict. So what? Shouldn’t he try? Where is the down side?

If the crime is so serious it warrants an expensive prosecution of one elderly man, why is the special counsel willing to fold without trying in a similar case with another elderly suspect?

Democrats are telling us Biden’s crimes are little, unimportant, excusable felonies, like Hillary Clinton’s, but Trump’s are big, important felonies that have to be addressed. Maybe Trump went further than Biden, but it’s the same basic crime, and Trump has mitigating factors Biden lacks.

So are we going to get President Kamala now? Terrifying. Kamala Harris is unintelligent and has no principles whatsoever. Biden is a little dim, but compared to Harris, he might as well be Socrates.

On the up side, Harris is terrified of taking responsibility, so if Biden is driven out, maybe she will be reluctant to do the extremely stupid things her ethos calls for. Her drive to avoid public mistakes is way more powerful than her drive to implement her agenda, if she has one or knows what one is. Presidentess Tee Ball will not swing for the bleachers.

What happens when a president is removed from office during an election year? That would be interesting. No time for other candidates to get in gear. Would they manage to prepare serious opposition to Harris, or would the machine wrap its wings around her and give her special snowflake protected status, as it has Biden? Would it continue keeping other candidates out of primaries?

This may turn out to be the weirdest election year in history. The system is not designed to react swiftly to situations like this.

One of the symptoms of the apocalypse is mass delusion, or what some would call mass psychosis. Huge swaths of the population now believe things that are patently insane. People elected a known dotard and a woman who is too dumb to be a public official. Now we will find out how deep the damage runs.

If it’s like this now, what will it be like in 6 months? I never get tired of asking that.

    This may turn out one of the weirdest elections in history? I think we are already there and things are just getting started.

    I must say, I do not believe “the people” voted for a dotard.
    Some did.
    He was foisted on us.
