I first voted in the 1980s. I've been around a while but I've only been a political junkie the last 10-15 years. Still I've never seen or even heard of anything like this before for a national politician. This is a nightmare and a five-alarm fire. It's extraordinary. It's like something out of a movie. Americans can be really fucking dumb but Biden has an undeniable loser stank about him. Also - the public knows that insiders know far more than we do. Insiders always do. You don't have to be genius to figure that out.

What facts or rumors or gossip do DC insiders know that the public doesn't? My first wild guess - and it's only that - is that Biden has some kind of serious neurological disease. Maybe it's Parkinson's or maybe something else - but if I'm right - he's been diagnosed with it which means there's a prolonged White House cover-up that's still in progress. My second wild guess is that there there's DC gossip about this and dem pols are trying to navigate their own political futures. If I'm right about this too - more and more of them will go into panic mode and fleeing the sinking ship the SS Biden. And it means they don't trust the White House or Biden.

Bluesky is a trip. The libs there have made tons of popular posts that the NYT (etc) are "pushing right-wing talking points" about Parkinson's and Biden. They are posting about it like crazy. The problem is that there's something fucky about Biden and the White House keeps saying there's no fire even though there's billowing smoke. And lib copium is a disgusting use of ableism as a shield. They say stuff like "having Parkinson's is not disqualifying" which is true but highly deceptive. They make it seem that if Biden has been lying about his health it's been for the public weal which is utter nonsense. If he's been lying - it's so he can get reelected and the cover-up sure as fuck is disqualifying.

Funnily enough, the UK just recently and Australia in the past decade have gone through patches of having 5 PMs in 5 years. A system in which the leader’s colleagues can oust them with a majority vote arguably has its advantages for dealing with internally known issues.

Wasn't this the entire case against Trump in the New York trial? That covering up the Stormy Daniels affair was a fraudulent "deceit of the American public"?

I mean it's pretty obvious now it's Parkinsons because of his doctor visits. But like you said they're covering it up and deflecting it away with "oh those are republican talking points".
