Uh oh. Fox uncovered another Biden scandal...

FOX News Hosts GOP Rep and Trump 'Doctor' to Complain that President Biden - Looks Too Healthy?

Stuff along Brain Drug lines that a few of us here may recall, really. Also, it is sorta funny to complain about Biden wearing sunglasses all the time and then roll footage of Biden not wearing sunglasses. Sorta makes me wonder if Murdoch of other higher ups is/are recognizing how bad the consequences of a fascist takeover of the US would be and is/are starting to trial balloon whether Fox can get away with praise disguised as criticism.

Republicans have to walk back the “senile and feeble old man” narrative because Biden just ate their lunch at the State of the Union. The only optics worse than being a senile and feeble old man is getting dunked on by one.

From your link:

"To be honest with you, I think that there's a medication. I want to know when he gets his physical done what medications is he actually on. Because he looks sometimes like he's really jacked up something."

This coming from the man who claimed Trump weighed 239 lbs at 6'3" and looked like this picture taken the same month.





"And I want to know why he wears sunglasses all of the time. Because, you know, one of the physical manifestations of Alzheimer's and other cognitive diseases out there is that your pupils dilate and you have an issue accommodating to light. And I think there's something giong on here."

Gee, why would someone wear sunglasses outside? This needs to be investigated alongside "Why would someone wear a coat outside when it's snowing?"

This is Trump's "doctor," though. The one who was likely paid to release... not entirely accurate information about Trump to the public.

I'm not sure of the relevance here. So a Trump mouthpiece mouthed the words, Biden must be on something? :boggled:

Unfortunately, Republicans have no shame and will still push to gut those programs. What keeps those programs safe, though, is that they want to find a way to force it to happen under a Democratic POTUS so they can blame the Democrats for it.

I think the current strategy is to build support for automatically reviewing big spending bills every few years. "Oh, we're not trying to cut it. If it's so important we'll all vote for it every time it comes up."

Except the next time it comes up they'll refuse to vote for it except in combination with several items on their legislative wish list. Then when they fail to reach agreement they'll blame the Democrats for refusing to agree to their deal.

They'll cut it by using it for repeated games of chicken until it crashes and everyone's blaming everyone, but as long as they can point to Democrats their voters won't punish them.

I would like the think that the Democrats have wised up by now (Biden certainly has), but we keep getting these centrist weenies like Manchin who keep pretending that the GOP bargains in good faith. Hopefully, actuarial realities will kick in eventually. The phony baloney posturing on the deficit has been going on for forty years now, and there is an entire generation of Democratic politicians coming in who have never known a world where Republicans were not lying, hypocritical, backstabbers...

There are also the amendment tricks. My state legislature Democrats use them not to change the bill so much as to make fun of the GOP.
 
Biden visits Kyiv:
KYIV, Ukraine — President Biden made a dramatic, unannounced visit to Kyiv on Monday, in a display of robust American support for Ukraine just four days before the anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

The high-risk visit to the historic Ukrainian capital — where air raid sirens blared as Biden walked the streets with President Volodymyr Zelensky — signaled continued commitment from the United States, the largest financial and military backer of Ukraine’s effort to repel Russian invaders from its territory.

I saw on the teevee news that the USA did tell the Russians he would be there. Can't wait to see the right-wing reaction.

Anything he does is wrong by right-wing circles. I'm sure Tucker/Hannity will be screaming how reckless this was by Biden. And I'm sure I could find old video of them saying how weak he looks after BoJo or the EU chancellor etc visited Kyiv but he didn't.

And here we go:

“We have a lot of problems accumulating here in our own country that he is neglecting,” DeSantis said in an appearance on Fox News after news of Biden’s surprise trip to visit with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“When our border is in crisis, Joe Biden goes home to nap in Delaware,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) said on Twitter. “So on Presidents’ Day, I’m not surprised that Biden is ditching America for Ukraine.”

“Biden didn’t go to East Palestine, Ohio on President’s Day,” Greene said on Twitter. “He went to Ukraine, a NON-NATO nation, whose leader is an actor and is apparently now commanding our United States military to world war. We must impeach this America Last fool before it’s too late.”

“So it takes two years for Joe Biden @POTUS to visit the war zone he created at our southern border, but then he goes to see another war zone he created in Ukraine,” Representative Greg Murphy of North Carolina tweeted.

“Breathtaking that President Biden can show up in Ukraine to ensure their border is secure, but can’t do the same for America,” Representative Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, who serves as chairman of the hardline House Freedom Caucus, tweeted.

Right-wing provocateur Benny Johnson: “Joe Biden visited Ukraine before the war zone of East Palestine, Ohio just and hour from DC,” he tweeted. You will never seen a more intentionally insulting move by a US President. This cannot be understated. Cravenly cruel.”

And by the way, **** President's Day. That has never seemed more ridiculous to me than it does today. It should be called "Remember How ****** The Government Is Day". My gawd.

Oh ya, and Gaetz says there's a border crisis and a "war zone" on our own border, thanks to Biden.

This is so stupid I can't believe grown ups are doing this ****. Maybe Gaetz actually believes it.

Gaetz is a self-serving, opportunistic, unethical, stupid POS which he proves every day.

I would be cautious about calling him stupid. He seems to be very smart about getting what he wants and appealing to his base. He was smart enough to get through law school at William & Mary. He was smart enough to get elected to the House three times. Stupid people can be dangerous; smart people more so.
