Was this the start of a US Presidential campaign

Hey ‘Murica… we have a great option for POTUS for ya this election…

You get to choose between the dotard and the felon!

I am sure there are brighter days ahead, but Christ Almighty things seem pretty grim right now.

If you got a smidgen of news outside the MSM, you would have known for years that Dementia Joe is not a "republican slur" but has been reality for a while now.

It is not without precedent to be left wondering over the mental capacity of a President - in the steps of Ronnie Reagan. I guess the chief of staff and advisers more or less take over.

“"My heart sank as he floundered his way through his responses, fumbling with his notes, uncharacteristically lost for words. He looked tired and bewildered," Ron Reagan writes‘

Joey gets around with his theme song, Billy Idol's 'If l should stumble won't you catch my fall'.

This would be bad enough if he was the leader of a banana republic like say Haiti, but the free world?

Meanwhile Trump has picked up his ball and chain, and run with it.

There's an interesting article here on gold & the expansion of the BRICs.

Considering Saudis reasonably friendly relationship with the US it will be interesting how the next president manages this relationship.

Yeah the difference is that Raegan was only 18 months out from finishing his term. Biden is up for re-election for a new term. Obama even said to him in '16 he shouldn't run. To be fair he might have beaten Trump when H Clinton failed. The Dem's are the party of government and the power hungry staff and bureaucrats that survive regardless of who's president still prefer a big spending party in govt. Sound familiar? The deep state and military-industrial complex are similar power hungry organisations love nothing but a war mongering Democratic party. The only way for a hot-swap is if Biden quits and opens the candidates. His donor's may force his hand by refusing further donations. He was democratically elected in the primaries. The Dems also have a problem in who will replace him? Kamala Harris poll even lower than he does.

That poor performance in the debate was against Walter Mondale in the 1984 campaign for what turned out to be Reagan’s second term. So it was at the same point that Biden finds himself in now.

Reagan had been shot three years prior. Some commentators think his cognitive decline became noticeable after that.

Conspiracy theories over “deep state” involvement have been circulating for decades, enveloping Kennedy through to present day. It was always the Republicans who were supposed to be the war-mongers, and benefited most from the military-industrial complex ownership.

Yeah - but let's not spoil the story with facts.
