I listen to a podcast that is generally quite opposite of my political alignment, but I usually find it entertaining. One thing these guys believe or at least discuss quite often is that Biden is being given drugs at certain times to “kick start” him for things like the SOTU. So, I don’t believe this is anything new.
I’m still surprised people in the US actually vote only for people so old they can’t reasonably do the job properly. I mean what’s up with that?
I guess the cynic in me thinks only people that old have a lifetime of being beholden to the powers behind the curtain to have their trust to receive big campaign funding. But that doesn’t explain Trump. He was never really ‘favoured’ by the establishment as far as I gather. Not that I think he was a good president of course, don’t get me wrong!

It’s always projection with these people.
if they are saying that in their own channels, it wont be long until those narratives hit the mainstream. and prolly hard.
Declassified documents show that former presidents like Reagan and JFK were on extreme cocktails of drugs.
Trump famously had that pic showing his oval office desk drawer full of Ephedrine (the good EU kind, not pseudo)
I would be utterly shocked if Biden was drug free.
But does it matter? Biden’s energy level and coherence were well above expectations.
Shit, I think most people would need prescription strength stimulants to do that job, especially in their 80s.

When it always comes down to 2 choices, it ends up being not much of a choice. 😐
