I closely followed CNN’s coverage of President Joe Biden’s performance during the recent debate against Donald Trump. I heard CNN show hosts say what they think. I heard CNN guests say what they think. I heard President Biden give his take on it, including he had a cold, he felt bad, he had jet lag from his trip to Europe, he was exhausted, he wasn’t on top of his game, he didn’t fully understand how the microphones worked. And, at 81, he has the stamina for 4 more years in the White House. A CNN host said Biden had rested up for several days at Camp David before the debate. Biden told a CNN host that he would not take a cognitive test and release the results, because he takes a cognitive test every day at his job, as president. Biden said he does not believe that since the debate, he is behind in the polls, which show he is behind.
As in the debate, I had to strain to hear what Biden said on CNN. I did not have to strain to hear what the CNN hosts or other guests said about Biden, who looked and sounded to me like he needed oxygen, as he did during the debate. I didn’t see anything different from when he was at the debate and when he was on CNN after the debate, other than he didn’t have a 20 second lapse of memory on CNN, but he was only on CNN for a few moments.
81, I wonder if I have the stamina to get me to next week? But I”m not the president, and I’m not on the November ballot. I”m a mystic, and because of that, I see things very differently.
Consider this text from a childhood friend yesterday, who calls Donald Trump the Orange Turd, and consider my response and where it went from there.
