I don't really care about the stupid "classified documents stuff", I just think that it is funny that POTUS will not be charged because he is too cognitively impaired.

"He did not remember when he was vice president" is also funny. My son died and I was the Democratic VP was Biden's main pitch to the Dem primary electorate lmao.

I get this impression that in the time of Nixon and Kennedy, when the TV was just starting out, having that single moment where Joe goes to shake someone's hand who isn't there would have been damning to his whole campaign and he would have resigned and Kalamala would be president today. The CIA would have assassinated him ala Kennedy with contrived fall guys and all before they let him do a second conversation with the press where he slurs words.

Am I off base in thinking the shamelessness of politicians to blunder in front of everyone is a recent invention? When there was 1 news channel and everyone rehearsed what they were going to say before doing unspeakable evil to sow the seeds of what we reap today, it seemed like they were stricter in decorum.

Howard Dean's presidential campaign ended because he was too enthusiastic and did that yell/cheer thing. They hounded him for it til he dropped out but now bidens eye explodes during the primaries and its all cool.
