Anyone would have to be totally insane to even consider casting a vote for Joe Biden.

I would almost agree, except that Trump is the alternative

This election will be For or Against Trump... the Democrat involved is irrelevant.

Anyone would have to be totally insane to even consider casting a vote for Joe Biden. Or any dimocrat for that matter.

The only source on this I can find is Fox News...

The White House urged Democrats interviewed by the Wall Street Journal for a report about President Biden's mental acuity to call the newspaper back and push back on "false" narratives, with one congressman defending the president's sharpness admitting to a reporter he was told to call back.

In a report titled "Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping," the Wall Street Journal outlined several instances where the 81-year-old president made gaffes and displayed low energy in various meetings with lawmakers and officials, citing dozens of interviews with Republicans and Democrats who either participated in meetings with Biden or were briefed on them at the time.

"The White House kept close tabs on some of The Wall Street Journal's interviews with Democratic lawmakers," the Journal wrote. "After the offices of several Democrats shared with the White House either a recording of an interview or details about what was asked, some of those lawmakers spoke to the Journal a second time and once again emphasized Biden's strengths."

One Democrat, Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., revealed the White House's efforts in an exchange with the Journal.

"They just, you know, said that I should give you a call back," Meeks told a reporter, referring to the White House.

White House spokesman Andrew Bates told the Journal, "We thought it was important that all perspectives be represented" to push back on what he alleged were "false and politically motivated claims."

Meeks reportedly attended a White House meeting in January focused on providing funding for Ukraine, where Biden's performance raised concerns.

"The president moved so slowly around the Cabinet Room to greet the nearly two dozen congressional leaders that it took about 10 minutes for the meeting to begin, some people who attended recalled," the Journal reported.

So let's get it straight...

After a meeting, the WSJ asked some Democrats about Biden's ability. They said that he was slow to walk around, and the WSJ wrote an article onit.

Then Biden asked the Democrats to call the WSJ back and explain themselves more properly.

And, somehow, the Trump team thinks that this is some sort sign of something inappropriate?

The desperation is palpable...

Biden calls for the press to not cover his presidency the same as others.

On the other hand, Trump calls the press "the enemy of the people" who should be "locked up".

The irony! He's allowed to say what he wants and so are they. If they want to call the WSJ and tell them Biden has super powers they can. That's not infringing the n anything.

He can disagree with the many reports of his declining, he just can't have powerful leadership call and tell them to change their reporting. That's communist behavior

So Biden disagreeing with the wall street journal means there's no freedom of the press? Hahahhahaah

So the article was out there...and still is?

Were there any threats or is this just another fred lie buoyed by senile singer's fantasy world?

No the WSJ told the story. All I had to do was read it.

Ad then it was told over and over on TV.

Not the propaganda media that you seen to favor.

Were you on the call?

And when one of them called back, the paper asked why they were calling back... the person calling back responded... 'the white house told me to ".

And that's how we know the biden team's attempt to control what we are allowed to see and hear.
