Biden being sworn in right now.
Earlier, Trump gave a speech from Andrews Air Force base as he left DC.
Full speech here.
Meanwhile, the leftwing media (in which category I include the NeverTrump Establishment GOP corporate media, which has supported Democrats three election cycles in a row) is fully unmasked:
American Journalism is Back, Baby! CNN’s coverage of Trump’s departure from the White House. Content warning: Jake Tapper is in full gloat mode.
American Journalism is Back, Baby!, Part 2.
American Journalism is Back, Baby! Part 3:
@DylanByersFrom the Biden transition team:
“Today, the President-elect is wearing a navy suit and navy overcoat, both by American designer Ralph Lauren. Dr. Jill Biden is wearing an ocean blue wool tweed coat and dress by emerging American designer Alexandra O’Neil of Markarian.”
@ajjaffe
Meanwhile, per an aide to Harris: The Vice President-elect is wearing Christopher John Rogers and Sergio Hudson. Christopher is a young Black designer, from Baton Rouge, and lives in New York City. Sergio is Black designer from SC.
Doug Emhoff is wearing a Ralph Lauren suit.
Now that Trump has left the White House, Politico reported on information they’ve had forever: That Biden is in steep cognitive decline and anything he says is a heavily-memorized line written by someone else.
And also: that he forgets having memorized and repeated the canned lines previously.
For higher-profile remarks, [Biden would] obsessively rehearse portions until he committed them to memory. And at times through the various iterations of outlining remarks, Biden could grow downright ornery.
“I would never say this,” Biden once snapped at an aide, aghast over the prepared remarks he was reviewing, according to a person in the room during a speech prep session last year. “Where did you get this from?'”
The aide explained that Biden had just said it in a public speech a couple of weeks earlier.
Someone I know has dementia. Whenever he cannot remember something, he gets frustrated, and he “snaps” angrily, just as Joe Biden always does.
Dementia does not just ravage the memory: It also ravages the executive functions of the brain, including emotional control and judgment.
We’re we told for five years that we could not afford to have Trump as president, because of his lack of emotional control and poor judgment?
But now we all have to support “President” Biden, who obviously has advanced dementia.
I guess the president, with the nuclear missile launch codes, doesn’t need an intact brain any longer.
So we have that to look forward to. Thanks, National Review!
