Diamond and Silk Say The Military Should Remove Biden From Office Because He Tripped Up The Stairs: Looks Like ‘A Cognitive Problem’

By Sarah Rumpf Mar 27th, 2021, 9:34 pm

Newsmax hosts Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, better known as “Diamond and Silk,” called for the military to remove President Joe Biden from office, citing his tripping on the stairs to Air Force One as proof of “a cognitive problem.”

“Biden probably won’t even last four years,” Diamond told David Brody, host of Newsmax’s The Water Cooler. “Any time you trip walking up the stairs–”

“Up the stairs!” Silk repeated.

“–that looks like a cognitive problem to me.” said Diamond. “So he probably won’t even make it four years.”

“Listen, I wish that the military would step in and take over,” Diamond continued, as Silk nodded along, comparing the people who “call themselves the most powerful people” in the the world to the Three Stooges and saying that they needed to “go somewhere, sit down, and allow the military to take over from here.”

Note that he was pulling himself up with the hand rail. No chance in hell he'd ever try to run up them, as Biden was doing. Also note that it was the smaller 757, rather than the much bigger, higher 747. He was resorting to the smaller plane a lot, since he didn't have the stamina to climb all those stairs. And, when he did use the 747, it got to the point where he had to enter and exit from the cargo hold.

I half-watched a number of his rallies via Hal Sparks' daily mockery show. I recall at least two incidents where they hauled his bloated ass in and out through the 747's cargo hold. A big trick they liked to use was to have AF1 in the background, right next to an elevated platform where he did his blatherings. That way, he was already at least halfway up the stairs to plane., and he could barely make it up those.

I remember one other situation when he wandered past the bullet proof plexiglass type shield, when he was in Europe. Just kind of wandered and stared at something.

When Alzheimer's first starts, it is so easy to rationalize away or ignore what is happening, unless you've seen it, up close and personal. And it's a hard, hard thing to accept.

I don't think there's any worry about him every running for POTUS, again. In 4 years time, I suspect he will be pretty entrenched in brain plaque.

... the M$M not only took the framing of the border non "crisis" from the kGQP they took the "... Biden wont make it 4 years as president ..." bullshit to the point they asked whether or not his current VP will be his running mate.

Like when has that never happened?

In MAGA World and suckers of the M$M being lazy sensationalist.

19. The first question of whether he would run again in 2024
Sun Mar 28, 2021, 10:32 AM
Mar 2021

was a ridiculous question because even if he viewed that he might want to review his own decision say in early to mid 2022, it is not in his interest to say so now.

But, its ridiculiousness pales next to whether he would keep Harris on the ticket. That has been a question for first term Presidents ONLY when either the VP is a drag on the ticket because of scandals, unpopularity or a perception that they are not a plus or the president's own popularity could lead to tough race and there was an alternative VP who could invigorate the ticket. None of these are even close to true. Biden has a high approval rating. Biden has had Harris involved in every top level announcement and has, as Obama did with him, delegated one of the toughest issues they face to Harris.

And a minute later talking about their "freedom".

Newsflash: a military coup would effectively end American democracy as we know it. Your rights become moot.

I usually wait until I'm carrying a cup of coffee to trip up the stairs. That way I can slosh the coffee onto the carpeted steps and down my front.

People elect the President. But if he stumbles on a step in the dark, the military removes him and replaces him with the runner-up...or something.

How can these clowns even call themselves American?
