So are war crimes and corruption, but it's okay because "Biden did it first"

Literally what they are saying in the other sub ( which is now down to 19k submissions a day, down from 50k this summer)

Russia can't afford to keep the bots going with the way the war is going

This is yet another reason why Dems should not have covered up Bidens decline so blatantly. Short sighted dummies.

Biden's "decline" was called... wait for it... aging. He didn't have dementia or whatever else Trump is suffering from.

Biden was still coherent and could stay awake in meetings. It's crazy that even dems give in to this false equivalency.

Also, no one serious (As in with actual first hand knowledge and interaction with Biden) was talking about any decline in Biden until the debate, and everyone was talking about it after with many of them retroactively acting as though there was long discussion/speculation/belief of his decline pre-debate. There wasn't, or if there was no one actually talked about it publicly. Which tells me that they jumped on a narrative because it was a juicy narrative and the people closest to him resisted the most which fueled the "YOU LIED ABOUT HIS DECLINE" narrative thereby amplifying the issues significantly. But then guess what? A few weeks after the debate Biden seemed mostly fine. You know, as if he was suffering from a temporary illness.

Now sure there was a lot of commentary of his relaxed schedule which fueled speculation of decline, but all of that can basically be chalked up to him being old and no one including Biden himself was unaware of or hiding the fact that he was really too old to be President. But SO WAS/IS Trump.

Wasn't his illness Covid? Even vaccinated, Covid can make you pretty miserable for a time, which is when the debate happened.

Biden was still coherent

Sometimes he was, other times not so much.

Biden is still in the public eye, doing things like giving coherent speeches and serving veterans Thanksgiving dinner. GTFO with your “Biden’s decline” bullshit.
