We can all see the truth now, his flunkies and sycophants couldn't hide it. If the stubborn old zombie doesn't step aside Gump is going to get the presidency gift wrapped. This is awful, ghastly. Putin and his henchmen are laughing. America's allies are in deep despair.

Or when he shoved Montenegro PM Markovic at a NATO summit in 2017. Or when Trudeau, Macron, and Johnson were caught joking about him at another NATO summit in 2019. The last one was notable enough it became a SNL skit. Anyway, those are some of the international embarrassments. The man thinks he's clever and respected just because he says so.

For chrissakes just do an Internet search… The Washington Post had a running list of them when he was president, and God knows how many he’s told since he left office unwillingly. One lie, for instance… “I’ve returned all the classified materials.” It took an FBI raid to get most of them back, and some are still missing. My guess is they are in Russia.

[@SteffiReitsch]

I've seen this up close. My mom was EXACTLY like this when she was 81, his age. She was in decline from dementia and thought she was still with it. She'd have good days, seemingly like her old self, and bad times of confusion and forgetfulness. The bad times became more and more frequent, severe, and long lasting. By the time she was 85 she was bat sh*** crazy and shuffling around mumbling and cantankerous. It was sad and awful. Taking care of her was a burden. This doesn't get better , ONLY WORSE. Those damaged brain cells DON'T COME BACK , folks. Biden never should have sought a second term. Something has to be done. There is NO WAY this guy would make it even half way through another term. You can bet on it 100%.

Biden is so selfish to not resign. His debate performance was deeply disturbing. Everyone in his party is panicking. He needs to step down if he truly believed in his values.
