“Why didn’t I handle Jan. 6 better? I wasn’t even in D.C. on Jan. 6. I wasn’t in office then,” Nikki Haley said in response to Trump’s attack.

    My favorite part about all this is both sides just kind of ignoring that their candidate can’t string together a coherent sentence, gets confused a lot, and mistakes people for others all the time as if those aren’t signs of cognitive decline.

    Cheers. Thank you for doing your part to ensure this never changes.

      Here’s an excerpt from the very beginning of Biden’s speech two weeks ago:

      In the winter of 1777, it was harsh and cold as the Continental Army marched to Valley Forge. General George Washington knew he faced the most daunting of tasks: to fight and win a war against the most powerful empire that existed in the world at the time.

      His mission was clear. Liberty, not conquest. Freedom, not domination. National independence, not individual glory.

      America made a vow. Never again would we bow down to a king.

      And here’s an except from Trump’s speech from his most recent rally just a few days ago:

      By the way, they never report the crowd on January 6. You know, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley … did you know they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything, deleted and destroyed all of it? All of it, because of lots of things, like Nikki Haley is in charge of security, we offered her 10,000 people, soldiers, national guards, whatever they want. They turned it down.

      Biden is old, just like Trump. Nobody denies that. But surely you aren’t trying to “both sides” this one by equating the two mentally or physically, right?
