It would be sad, I guess, if it weren't so alarming

Biden’s latest Alzheimer’s moment is actually very sad

PJMEDIA:


“Cringe” somehow doesn’t suffice here. This is supra-cringe, trans-cringe.

Biden’s handlers invited the Air Force football team to congratulate them on their past season and rolled their charge out to meet them for a brief photo op.

It would seem to be quite a simple task for a lifelong Swamp member: smile like you’re greeting old friends, gladhand like only a plastic politician can, gracefully accept the gifts, smile for the cameras some more, and depart.

But even that mission was too much for the alleged President to complete.

Via Military Times:

President Joe Biden on Friday awarded the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy to the Air Force Academy for winning football games against its rival U.S. service academies.

“Simply put, you can’t talk about the soul of the nation without talking about our service academies,” Biden told the team gathered in the White House’s East Room. “And you can’t talk about the service academies without talking about duty, teamwork, service and excellence. That’s all about you.”

He was ostensibly — as evidenced by the cadets holding the items out apparently in anticipation of handing them off — supposed to take the signed football, the helmet, and the jersey of memorabilia. Instead, he took the jersey, stared into the abyss for a few moments, and wandered away aimlessly while the visibly confused crowd looked on.

A commentator I read yesterday suggests that the Democrat establishment is holding off dumping the old nab for now because it would be bad optics, but that everyone expects him to fall apart before the election, perhaps even the primaries, and at that point, Gov. Noisome, who’s already touring the country, and other challenges can step in as a “white knight”, and save the day.

It could be that, or it could just be that Biden’s handlers are comfortable having a rutabaga figurehead in the Oval Office while they execute their plan for America. Either alternative is disheartening.
