Ex-CNN reporter John Harwood gushes over sharply partisan address: Biden critics 'look pretty dumb'
Liberal-leaning journalists and media personalities gave President Biden's State of the Union speech high praise, with some claiming that it made his detractors look foolish for voicing concerns over his age.
Former CNN journalist John Harwood, known as one of the most sycophantic Biden White House boosters in the media, mocked the president's critics for saying they were worried about his vitality.
"[T]hose Dems complaining that Biden lacks vigor and fight getting splash of cold water in the face right now," he wrote, later adding that the "people yapping for so long about Biden not being up to the job look pretty dumb this morning."
"My fellow Americans the issue facing our nation isn’t how old we are it’s how old our ideas are? Hate, anger, revenge, retribution are among the oldest of ideas," CNN analyst Juliette Kayyem wrote, quoting from Biden's speech. "It would seem Biden has landed on a perfect framing for the age issue."

Special counsel Robert Hur:
“Biden’s age and presentation would make it more difficult to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that the now-81-year-old was guilty of willfully committing a crime.”
But his SOTU was a brilliant performance.
My favorite leftist publication for feeling their “pulse” is the Atlantic.
They print the leftist internal debates.
They alternate between articles giving Biden propaganda and articles saying this is ridiculous get rid of the senile coot.
It is fun to watch.
Some examples—grab the popcorn:

Not sure....
Lol.
He’s not. Too old!!!
That’s it. This is all the liberals can look to. They know it was very bad
Don’t compare. GOP rips their own apart Libs rally around let’s destroy everything and lie about it
So if Joe appears lucid and strong during speech yesterday we are supposed to forget his many forgetful, lost, confused and gibberish speaking moments during his presidency? Okey-dokey….
“Better living through Chemistry”.....
And biden was the perfect example of hate, anger, revenge, and rage that a dementia patient his age usually exhibits.
Biden poured on his “doddering forgetful oldster act,” the bereaved father
looking for sympathy.......a surefire act that worked in Delaware for years.
And Hur fell for it hook line and sinker.......just as the Delaware dupes did.
From “1984”:
“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.
You are a slow learner, Winston.” Said O’Brien gently.“How can I help it?” he blubbered. How can I help but see what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four.”“Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.
The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink.
Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.
For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable – what then?”
There are tons of highly successful and energetic business leaders older than Biden.
...from the snippets I saw, he was a stammering mess, BUT still a Democrat in need of media protection.
Hitler was a demented old man too. He put the age question to rest when Biden was still poopin yellow.
Great point. Why don’t some of the geniuses in the media make that point?
As a real estate investor, I frequently deal with the adult children of seniors. There are the conservative kids who know that dad would be best taken care of in a senior living community. Then there are the selfish, often detached kids in denial who see that dad had a good day and should just age in place - and not sell his house to pay for expensive assisted living (thereby ensuring their inheritance that they’re eyeballing). So, when the selfish kids get their way, the delusion is shortly lived out until dad (or, usually, mom) takes the bad fall or quick mental decline. So, the writer of this piece sees that dad had a good day (due to whatever adrenaline they shot into him). I’m fine with that, because I love the chaos that last night will cause among all of the self-centered childish democrats who want their inheritance. The result will be Donald Trump knocking on the door to issue their evicting papers, with the ambulance in the driveway to evacuate the corpse.
I agree. Let him shout how fit he is as he is testifying in front of the impeachment committee.
coincidentally there is a 3 state shortage of speed around DC.
Of course. Best speech ever, Biden is strong, Nation on the right path....the same crap they’ve been spewing for the last 3 years. They don’t realize they’re shouting in an echo chamber. The average voter, who is paying attention anyway, knows the truth.
Biden’s decline is going to be like the last days of Adolph.
They will be feeding him a wild concoction of pills to try to hold it together—one day at a time, one week at a time, one month at a time.
one thing i noticed was that biden called the person who murdered Laken in cold blood an “Illegal”
He didn’t dare call him a “Newcomer” like the left are demanding that we call illegal invaders now- Had he called him a “Newcomer”, it woudl have exposed the fact that many “Newcomers” are dangerous, and should be kept out-
C’mon, what difference does that make at this point?
The democrats have done an incredible job protecting their own. In return, they all vote the same way, all say the same things, all fall in line and stay in line. Pretty effective if you ask me.
