Years before all this, I and so many others recognized in Joe Biden a pronounced lack of intelligence and wisdom. TD
"Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume said Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “Special Report” that he believed voters can see President Joe Biden is “senile.”
"Anchor Bret Baier said, “You wonder how the State of the Union is going to set up on the issue of Israel, for example.”
"Hume said, “Exactly right. He came out strong and basically stuck to his guns in terms of continuing the shipments to help Israel and so on. Rhetorically, he has moved away from Israel.”
"Baier said, “Last thing just going back to tonight if you thought back a year ago, even six months ago that we would be here looking at the poll numbers we are looking at Independents trending toward President Trump on a number of issues. Would you have believed that?”
"Hume said, “I have always thought the age and acuity issue was a ticking time bomb. I was saying when it was not at all fashionable to say it that he was senile.”
"He added, “Now I think he is palpably senile and the country sees it. And one of his challenges on Thursday night, Bret, would be whether he can assuage the concerns of those even within his own party, who think and say that he is too old for the job.”

Politically, this report would be catastrophic in a typical reality as it plainly states that Biden is suffering from some form of dementia … at best. . . .But it shouldn’t have to – Joe Biden, no matter the politics, is simply mentally incapable to be President of the United States.

"Joe Biden, even though he did take and secrete away secret documents and such, will not be charged with any crime related to what are acts quite similar to those for which Donald Trump was charged with crimes.
In his report explaining his decision, Special Counsel Robert Hur said today that Biden was too far removed from reality for a jury to convict him of a crime.
In other words, Biden did it, Biden broke the law, but he is too mentally deficient for anyone to believe he either really did it on purpose or, after the fact, could possibly have remembered what he did, let alone pass along the information (of course, that does leave aside Hunter’s possible use of the documents but maybe that will come up in his tax case.)
The report read, in part, as follows:
“In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden’s memory was worse. He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (‘if it was 2013 – when did I stop being Vice President?’), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began (‘in 2009, am I still Vice President?’),” Hur wrote. “He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died. And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him.”
Because of his obvious inability to think coherently, Hur wrote that a jury would merely see a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” rather than be able to see him as an intentionally bad-acting criminal.
Putting on my public relations hat and warping myself into the White House, I will state clearly and succinctly: The administration would have preferred Biden be charged with a crime it could fight rather than be publicly outed as non compos mentis.
“How do we pull a crooked Biden across the finish line?” is a question his team has prepared for. “How do we drag a Biden who has been called a mental basket case by his own Department of Justice across the finish line?” is not.
The same goes for the Praetorian Media, which has steadfastly assured the nation that Joe is hale and hearty and at the top of his game. That becomes more difficult now, though outlets such as the AP, which glancingly mentions the issue in paragraph 30 of a 40-graf story, are already trying. NBC is toplining Biden’s own comments about why he was forgetful: he was dealing with Hamas.
