Debilitated Biden channeled debilitated FDR to disaster in ’24 like FDR did in ’44.

 

Debilitated Biden channeled debilitated FDR to disaster in ’24 like FDR did in ’44.

 

Joe Biden wasn’t the first debilitated president to ignore decency and common sense by withdrawing from another term.

 

In March, 1944, FDR was diagnosed with severe heart disease. He was essentially drinking and smoking himself to death while trying to run the country and win WWII. His inner circle knew it but kept mum. Daughter Anna became his caretaker, making him take long absences from presidential duties. She hovered over him at the Yalta Conference where he appeared on death’s doorstep in pictures later released.

 

But FDR was too stubborn to step aside and his family, friends, advisors, doctors all went along. His personal doc Howard Bruenn, who diagnosed his impending death, painted a rosy picture of the dying FDR to press and public. He called FDR’s debilitating heart episodes ‘common colds.’

 

Roosevelt persevered to a fourth term nomination and victory as a shell of his once vigorous self. So debilitated he even allowed his neocon advisors of the era such as James Byrnes and James Forestall to dump his peace loving VP Henry Wallace in favor of the clueless and pliant Harry Truman as running mate.

 

No surprise FDR died 51 days in, elevating Hapless Harry to be rolled by his Russophobe advisors who demanded he get tough with Stalin whom FDR was looking to partner with in creating a war free world. Hapless Harry bought into their delusions and set off the Cold War against the USSR (now Russia) still threatening world peace and our survival today

 

Eighty years on a debilitated Joe Biden ignored all decency and common sense to run again when his incipient dementia made him self-destruct on a prime time debate stage.

 

That unconscionable decision, like FDR’s in ’44, was enabled by his family, advisors, doctors and the Democratic Party careerists who dared not tell the truth to Biden or the American people. The tragic truth is Biden only withdrew when forced to by his enablers who could no longer hide his dementia and unfitness to serve again.

 

That was a major, if not the primary reason, Democrats failed spectacularly November 5, saddling America with another mentally disintegrating president taking a literal chainsaw to every decent function of government.

 

Might be time for a new system to screen candidates for president. Anyone announcing his candidacy should submit to a thorough physical and mental exam by independent medical personnel not connected with the candidate. The covering up of disqualifying physical and or mental conditions must end.

 

Two times in 80 years is two times too many. If mentally disintegrating Trump follows thru with his deranged plan to run again in ’28, that would make a trifecta of electoral insanity.
