    Nothing scares me more than the thought that Biden’s cognitive decline may be more severe than we realize and that he’s stuck in this state of delusion that he’s far more capable than he actually is.

    To quote Jim Jefferies, “That’s the thing about crazy people. They don’t know they’re crazy. That’s what makes them crazy!”

    To those who didn’t view the interview, here are some highlights:

    • Biden denied his approval ratings are 37% when Stephanopoulos noted, “Mr. President I’ve never seen a President win with 36% approval rating.” (fact-check: it’s 37% in reality. Same as Carter when he lost)
    • Biden said only divine intervention would have him step down.
    • Biden said he’d feel okay should he lose against Trump because he “tried his best.”

      The second one gets blown really out of proportion

      He was told a list of people and was asked if any of them would convince him to step down

      If he said yes to any of them it would mean he trusts their judgement more than his own which would be a terrible look for a president so he basically said there is nobody who shapes my decision besides myself and God (because you need christian voters)

        I hope to fuck you’re right but I still feel he could’ve handled that question better:

        “I’ll follow my conscience, weigh my trusted confidants’ advice, and consider sound data.”
