    Yes, the ridiculous TrumpubliQan tropes against Biden’s mental state or totally made-up distortions that somehow link Joe Biden to the unrelated, irrelevant foibles of his son, have been deflated and debunked in utter humiliation for the Trump cult-worshipping wishful fabulists.

    No matter how much dirt TrumpubliQan cult worshippers try to FIBricate linking Biden with any imagined political or business involvement with his son, they can only dream of corrupt links on the scale of what their Trumpian deity actually does have with HIS demon spawn and their extensive involvements with every aspect of their fathers political and business endeavors.

    After Biden achieved record bipartisan legislative accomplishments in his first two years with, literally, the slimmest possible majority (and even a couple of foot-draggers [or knuckle-draggers] in his own party), then utterly steamrolled Kevin McCarthy (who is hanging on to his long-coveted House speakership by his fingernails), skillfully maneuvered through handling U.S. interests in Ukraine’s fight against Russian aggression and has now masterfully negotiated the U.S. positions at yet another major international summit (after helping to restore the NATO confidence that Trump had undermined), TrumpubliQan cult worshippers whining about Biden being senile or exaggerations of irrelevant family “scandals” ring very, very hollow.

    Or as Mike Luckovich’s excellent ’toon notes, “deflated.”

    In any case, for anyone who voted for or supported the man who autographed Bibles for his supporters, saluted a North Korean general, used a Sharpie to change the course of a hurricane, stared into the sun — twice! — and tweeted a quote from Mussolini, their opinion of Joe Biden’s sanity or fitness for office is laughably irrelevant.

    President Biden proves time and again that he is better at leading and many other things than Spraytan Septimius.

    Are we sure that there is too much poverty in this country? The demented Orange raised twice as much money than DeSatanist

    If Mike believes that he is not paying attention. Senility may be too strong a word, but mental decline is obvious. I am older than the president and I have my senior moments too but not as often as the president.

    Typical pattern: GOP screws up the economy by giving tax cuts to the wealthy and fighting meaningless wars (all unfunded, of course).

    Democrat comes in and fixes it. History repeats itself again and again and again and again . . .

    But wait. I thought inflation wasn’t Biden’s fault, because he doesn’t have that kind of influence. How can inflation going down be his doing then?

    Unemployment is down, too! Oh! The horror for the MAGA Party (formerly the Republican Party).

    Biden couldn’t attend a dinner with NATO member leaders. It was time to get the binkie and go night night. A refreshed Biden gives a speech and refers to Zelensky as “Vladimir.” He referred to Russia attacking Russia, and drew a blank several times. This man belongs on a beach with his 7….er….6 grandchildren.

    At least we have Kamala telling us that transportation is about people getting to where they want to go!

    As a grizzled veteran of 5 decades of withstanding/surviving American politics…I can honestly say that I longingly miss the days when one could have a reasoned, balanced discussion of politics/policy with a republiq’an. Now it’s like going into the Thunderdome against a PCP-crazed hyena.

    Today’s Republican: no platform, lots of deflection, and when they do talk it’s all buzzwords and word salad about everything except real issues that affects the voters.

    Since they don’t have receipts or actual evidence, they have to make up lies and pretend they are real. They are so accustomed to listening to their dear leader, lies are OK.

    To be fair, while the Biden-inspired Inflation Reduction Act undoubtedly deserves some of the credit for slowing inflation, most of the work was done by Jerome Powell and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve.

    But I’m still waiting for all the righties who were screaming their heads off last year about how Biden was responsible for the high gas prices to start handing out the accolades to him for bringing them down. What’s that, you say? Not a peep out of them? Could it be because they finally realized that the president has virtually no control at all over gas prices? No, it’s because now they’ve moved on to pïss and moan over some other national concern that he has no control over.
