    “concerns about Biden’s mobility were so dire, advisers considered having him use a wheelchair during the campaign.”

    What the what?

        Crazy. See FDR got away with it, they would stage photos and prop him up, cover the wheelchair with a blanket. But that’s impossible now that social media is a thing.

        Yikes. I did a full news and politics cleanse during trumps first administration and was not paying a ton of attention during Bidens term. Had no idea it was that bad.

          I was paying attention.

          It was not, in fact, that bad.

            I agree with you, if by not that bad, you mean worse than that bad.

          It was that bad because the media ignored it. Decades of “mistakes” of being racist and sexist, and then being in the oval office made him senile.
