NY Times: The US can get along fine with a vegetable for President

.

The New York Times ACTUALLY wrote this right after an 80-year-old Joe Biden announced he would be running for reelection.

Here’s how the story begins. It’s something to behold, so just take it all in:

The biggest reason that many Democratic officials are nervous about President Biden’s age is not his ability to do the job in a second term.

Strange as it may sound, the American government can function without a healthy president. The U.S. marched toward victory in World War II while Franklin Roosevelt was ailing in 1944 and 1945. Four decades later, the government managed its relationship with a teetering Soviet Union while Ronald Reagan’s mental capacities slipped. In each case, White House aides, Cabinet secretaries and military leaders performed well despite the lack of a fully engaged leader.

The New York Times, the “truth to power” people, the nation’s Paper of Record, is really suggesting that it doesn’t matter whether or not we elect a literal corpse for the Democrats.

A dead body will do just fine (he’s not the one running the show anyways).
