I bought a 2nd hand copy of #OriginalSin (so Tapper didn’t get any money) and on page 29 he tells the tale of an unnamed world leader meeting Biden in 2022 and believing he was “clearly” out of it. This is so dangerous, my God… THEY ALL KNEW. GLOBALLY.
Aaaaaand there it is. On page 35 after a few pages about Biden being incoherent in Dem caucus meetings, we find that while centrist Biden was unaware (most of the time!) his very progressive Chief of Staff was steering everything decidedly LEFT. They called him the “prime minister.”
“Prime Minister” Ron Klain might’ve been the most powerful Chief of Staff in history but he bowed to the most powerful FLOTUS in history.
Ok. I don’t EVER want to hear about how Trump wants loyalty like it’s a bad thing ever again. Jill’s Chief of Staff, Anthony Bernal” was dubbed “the loyalty police”!
Page 55 has a senior WH official saying no way Biden could do even a quick 15 minute interview by 2023 and that his decline accelerated “to an alarming degree.” THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE PUT UNDER OATH.
I’m going to pause for now but I will post more excerpts tomorrow. ❤️
Page 63. I know this has been widely reported but it’s still sickening to see it in print. How utterly un-American.
Pages 70 & 71. To any actual reporter, #TheLaptopFromHell would be Pulitzer material to mine and mine HARD. Tapper is positively BLASÉ about it. It’s shocking how not shocked he is.
OMG. Jill insisted WH aides call her “Dr. B.” 🙄
Page 87. Everything was scripted and staged and still… “unsalvageable.” Sooooo many people had a responsibility to sound the alarm….
Pages 97 & 98. They have Biden dead-to-rights admitting a crime but nooooooo… they don’t charge him. Why? Because even in *2017* he sounded like he was failing.
Page 99. Yet another Biden admitting to a felony, this time Hunter, but no felony charges for it. And a gun charge at that. Unreal. I know this has been reported but it’s just infuriating to read it again!
Page 105. They raided Mar-a-Lago when THIS was being KEPT QUIET. These VILE DESPICABLE CRETINS.
OMG. 11 GITMO terrorists were let out by… not Biden. SOMEONE authorized their release but Biden? “Clearly not” informed. JFC. We need hearings on this! Here’s the entire section on it, pages 114-115.
Pages 146-147 “Cabinet Secretary One” had a CONSTITUTIONAL OBLIGATION to speak up and kept silent. The ENTIRE CABINET NEEDS TO BE PUT UNDER OATH.
“I think the people around him had their own agenda,” says Cabinet Secretary Number Two. The Cabinet did not see him from October 2023 on… One rare occasion they did? Biden’s mouth was “agape.”
Pages 163. Biden’s trip to Normandy France for D-Day commemoration featured several mobility issues including him having to be *driven* a short distance *100 year old* veterans *walked*. And? He didn’t recognize long time friend Congressman Moulton.
Page 164. Yet another unnamed European leader saying Biden was gone. He’s specific: Biden’s ability to THINK was compromised. So ENOUGH with this BS that he was compos mentis. HE WASN’T.
Page 170. Hunter’s tax trial coming up and Tapper just breezes by “cashing in on the family name” like his head wouldn’t spin like Linda Blair had his name been Trump. Instead he’s just fretting about a “devastated” president.
Page 180. Just the Senate Majority Leader having phone calls with the POTUS… who’s forgetting… everything.
Page 181. Attending an immigration event at the WH in June 2024, Dem CO Sen. Bennet thought Biden that day & Biden’s immigration policy in general was such a mess that he had a revelation: it actually mattered if POTUS was in charge! Way to go Senator! You might’ve said something at the time!
Page 182. An unnamed cabinet secretary shrugs and says gosh, if only Biden were 20 years younger his aides wouldn’t be running the show.
In a long section of the book now dealing with the debate & aftermath. Will post more tomorrow. ❤️
