Democrats must replace Biden as their candidate, but with whom?

If 81-year-old Jo Biden’s memory is so poor that he can’t be prosecuted, how can he be president?

Joe Biden running for re-election is looking more and more like 'elder abuse’

It’s now obvious to all. Joe Biden’s wits are so scrambled he cannot run in November for re-election as US president.

The 81-year-old can’t even remember which world leader he was talking to, and whether they are alive.

A week ago he said he talked at a 2021 summit to French president Francois Mitterrand, who died in 1996.

Then he said he’d talked there to “French president” Helmut Kohl. Kohl was Germany’s chancellor, and died in 2017.

Last Friday, Biden insisted “my memory is fine”, but called Egypt’s president the “leader of Mexico”.

His decline is now so severe that a special counsel appointed by his own Attorney-General concluded last week his memory was “significantly limited”.

Counsel Robert Hur was actually doing Biden a favour by saying he couldn’t remember when he’d been vice president to Barack Obama or when son Beau had died, “even within several years” of his 2015 death.

This was Hur’s excuse to not now prosecute Biden for keeping secret documents from his time as vice president, like Biden’s investigators are doing to rival Donald Trump.

Hur said prosecuting Biden was pointless when he’d “likely present himself to a jury … as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory”.

But if Biden’s memory is so poor that he can’t be prosecuted, how can he be president?

Biden then underlined his incapacity in a disastrous press conference to respond to Hur.

He shouted at a female reporter who asked if he really was in shape for another four years as president, but his memory kept failing.

Biden claimed Hur had not found he’d “wilfully” kept the documents, or that they were highly classified.

False and false.

He also said they were all in lockable drawers.

False again: photos showed some spilling from open boxes.

All America could see their president had lost it – and so could its enemies.

Already Russia, China and Iran are testing America, backing three hot wars.

Democrats must replace Biden as their candidate, but with whom? Vice President Kamala Harris is a nitwit.

Gavin Newsome is waiting, but is governor of left-wing California, where crime is rampant. Some want to draft Michelle Obama, the former president’s wife, but she’s shown no interest.

Biden reportedly wants Trump convicted of trying to steal the last election.

Stealing the next with such a Third World trick may be senile Joe’s only hope.
