It doesn't read like that at all. And they've known eachother personally for like 15 years at that point.

If this is all true I actually feel a little sorry for Clooney, he got dragged over the coals for that op ed. It would have been a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.

He did an interview on The View recently where they asked him about slipping cognitive ability and the answer was insane. His answer was "there are wrong" and then to babble for like a minute straight before Jill cut him off and started talking instead

It's honestly really sad they're still carting him around in front of people because it's probably not helping

I don't even get why they bother asking stuff like that. Someone with cognitive decline doesn't have the cognition to recognize their cognitive decline. Biden particularly has always been a headstrong optimistic politician who believes he can do and overcome anything. He's never gonna offer different answers, there's no point giving him anything but softball interviews at this stage of his life.

Pretty sure you don't have to be an actor, or even vain, to be concerned when someone you have known for two decades doesn't recognize you.

I guess people are interested for the same reason they are interested in all the 'now we can tell you what was really going on' stories that emerge post presidency.

But yeah, Biden should be left alone to enjoy his retirement. There's no need for any more public appearances or interviews.

He was the fucking president, and the Democrats were doing everything in their power to hide the fact that his brain was turning to mush, until it was too late. Had Biden actually been the one term president he campaigned on (We warned you this would happen in 2020 too.), and the Dems actually had a real primary, maybe they would not have gifted control of the country over to fascists,

So I dunno, that sounds to me like a reason to care..

To be honest if people couldn't figure that out on their own they were already lost. Julian Castro called it out in literal 2019 and the party still rushed to nominate him. There's no saving people in denial of the obvious.

So in short, Democrats made this hellscape we're in and we can't trust them to get us out of it,, no hope anywhere just corruption and rich old people making sure they cling to power and wealth til they die, they don't give a shit if everything else burns in the process.

Great.

But apparently they knew each other for years. That could mean a lot of things. Maybe they were introduced at parties like this a handful of times. I dont know. Obviously Biden isnt 100% but Im not sure hes at a point not recognizing good friends.

And if you were in any way critical of dear leader, Biden sycophants accused you of being pro-Trump.

It feels like I'm living in the Twilight Zone.

Why are people dismissing this? The Democratic party has a problem with old, even demented, politicians clinging to power and that puts all of us at risk. Aren't we supposed to learn from history and not repeat it?

They are also trying to stub out any criticism of their elite with their treatment of David Hogg.

The problem doesn't stop at Biden. The Democrats have a problem with propping up old politicians who are out of touch and aren't willing to fight Republicans. They have a significant role in getting us to this hell presidency we currently face.

It's not really about just Hogg. It doesn't matter who it is, anyone wanting to get rid of out of touch establishment politicians who are just coasting and not putting up a fight against Republicans would face the same thing. They care more about protecting their own positions and the country.

They're dismissing it because Dems have a harder time with self reflection than me.

Putting the cart before the horse and wanting to hash out your personal gripes with the party instead of dealing with the existential threat the nation is facing is what got us Trump to begin with. And yet you want to keep that cart in front of the horse while the country gets dismantled by racists and billionaires. But go off.
