Biden, 81, 'plans to make AG Merrick Garland fall-guy for bombshell special counsel report that branded him senile old man,' as aide releases panicked statement and insiders claim better MAKE-UP could help solve age issue

Joe Biden is planning to make his attorney general Merrick Garland the scapegoat for the bombshell report which highlighted his mental challenges, it has been reported.

The Department of Justice released its long-awaited investigation into the president's mishandling of classified documents Thursday, delivering a damning assessment of his 'diminished faculties' and limited memory.

But Biden, 81, has informed his aides and advisers that Garland didn't do enough to rein in the report written by Special Counsel Robert Hur, according to Politico.

Top Biden aides have even suggested Garland should have edited the parts that made the president look like a senile old man - despite Biden vowing to hire an impartial attorney general in the wake of the Trump presidency.

Democrat insiders have also claimed more time working on makeup and lighting could help ease concerns about his age, according to CNN. They've urged aides to have him sat down at the start of appearances, rather than letting him shuffle onto stage stiffly - and to stop claiming the president merely suffers from arthritis.

It comes as the Biden-Harris campaign team also released a statement on Friday hitting out at Donald Trump's comments that some onlookers claimed was panicked and showed just how badly the White House has reacted to the scandal.

Biden-Harris advisor TJ Ducklo -who resigned from a White House job in 2021 over a bullying scandal - said: 'Every single time Donald Trump opens his mouth, he's confused, deranged, lying, or worse.'

'Tonight, he lied more than two dozen times, slurred his words, confused basic facts, and placated the gun lobby weeks after telling parents to 'get over it' after their kids were gunned down at school.

'But you won't hear about any of it if you watch cable news, read this weekend's papers, or watch...

Nope...not more makeup. Biden already looks like he’s been embalmed and had a makeover from the Funeral Parlor beautician.

Mass simultaneous terrorist attacks from migrant cells could easily lead to martial law and cancel the election. The demented figurehead remains the default president.

I’m just articulating the worst-case scenario.

no doubt Merrick Garland is more loyal to the Deep State than to Dementia Joe, and the Deep State has released the hounds on Dementia Joe ...

Biden not making it to the 2024 election was written in stone years ago.


I’m not saying you’re wrong, but consider that four years ago, there were confident predictions that FJB wouldn’t make it to Election Day. Yet here we are.

It’s possible that Garland is merely taking orders . . .

And not from Joe Biden.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Biden was baited into demanding his staff set up that press conference. None of this is a misstep, in my opinion. It’s a plan to bait the House into an impeachment so they can take the heat. Naturally, some in the GOP took the bait.

They never learn. When your enemy is destroying himself, stand aside.

I took Oxy after the surgery on my broken ankle. I think I also took some after my hip replacement but I monitored it closely and finally only used it at bedtime and then after a week of that, not at all. I can tolerate Advil but I don’t think it does much.
Aleve make me break out in hives. So now I only use CBD and ivermectin and maybe one aspirin at bedtime. After covid I don’t trust any drugs, prescription or otherwise. This morning Mr. Mercat woke up with the sniffles and other symptoms of a cold. He took ivermectin and it all resolved. Yay

The US is showing Old Empire Syndrome.

The Royal Court is full of secret intrigue.

The subjects have no clue what is going on.

Old Empires always end this way…in one form of tyranny or another. The end comes, as it is now, from all the established insiders eating whatever pieces of the old golden goose they can sink their forks into.

I remember studying the ancient and medieval history of China.

Emperors would be assassinated and historians often had no clue who did it—or even why.

They had lots of theories but minimal evidence to support them.

I think we are about to enter that Twilight Zone.

I cannot but suspect that Hur had orders not to charge Biden. Hur considers Biden to be criminal, so he says he cannot charge him in terms that basically says we have a 25th amendment problem.


I agree. I think the evidence was just too blatant and voluminous to ignore (the Dem’s #1 preference), so that was the only face-saving way not to charge the POS.

Well, at Joe’s age more plastic surgery can be a risk.

How far can skin stretch and how much more does he have left?

Completely replacing Joe with his body double is still an option though.

Since the Dems have gone Full Beria (never go Full Beria) what needs to happen is that disloyalty like Garland’s is rewarded with the J6 treatment - solitary confinement for an unspecified time and a diet of rotten baloney sandwiches. It doesn’t matter if he’s innocent or guilty. Anyway, I hear Garland wears a MAGA hat in private...

The report states he’s elderly, forgetful, and has diminished faculties. Then the report proceeds to give examples. We’ve seen it for ourselves tho, including the night Biden tried to defend himself about the report.

In other words - Biden is a senile old man.
