Joe Biden Is the Poster Senior for Elder Abuse

Nearly four years ago, I wrote that Joe Biden was a victim of elder abuse and his wife and son Hunter were likely compelling him to take on a job that he was not fit to do. Now everyone, with even a scintilla of objectivity, knows that this is true.

When an Older Adult is Harmed

According to the CDC (U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) “Elder abuse is an intentional act or failure to act that causes or creates a risk of harm to an older adult. An older adult is someone aged 60 or older. The abuse often occurs at the hands of a caregiver or a person the elder trusts.” 

The CDC further states that “Victims often have to decide whether to tell someone they are being hurt or continue being abused by someone they depend upon or care for deeply.” What’s more, “Elder abuse is common. Abuse, including neglect and exploitation, are experienced by about 1 in 10 people aged 60 and older who live at home.”

The thoughtless, cruel, and immoral exploitation of Joe Biden largely stems from Democrats’ eternal quest for power and their residual shock from the 2016 election, aided and abetted by the aforementioned members of the Biden Crime Family. Jill, a modern day Lady Macbeth is power hungry. History will not be kind to her. Hunter, understandably so, wants to stay out of prison, and the “big guy” is his shield. In no way will they allow Joe to step down even if the degradation gets five times worse.

The Effects of Elder Abuse 

Elders who have been abused have a 300% higher risk of death when compared to those who have not been mistreated, based on findings from the National Council on Aging.

As such, what's being done to Joe Biden is a form of exploitation, even if he wants to run for re-installation (note: he was not elected in 2020, he was installed). He is 81, soon to be 82, on November 20, 2024. He has never been the sharpest tool in the shed, with poor academics, and a rather poor sense of judgment, and now his mental lapses are on display to the world.

Previously, Biden has confused his sister for his wife, Iran with Iraq, and his presidential run with a senate run. In his brief public appearances, he has called upon people allegedly in his audiences who actually are deceased. He says that inflation was staggering when he entered office. He has claimed that Trump is the only one calling for defunding police. Perhaps most telling, more than once, he has referred to the ‘Harris-Biden administration.’ 

From 10 am to 4 pm, Joe Biden can speak for a few minutes, all too often with a teleprompter. Clearly he’s taking stimulants to increase his alertness, at least for short intervals. On his own, when answering something other than a softball question, Biden goes off on tangents that make his supporters shudder. YouTube has hundreds of his gaffes, strange conclusions, and outright foibles.

Political Operatives Aplenty

What type of political party would subject their candidate to such treatment? If some are willing to brazenly exploit Joe Biden, what else are they capable of? While no one on the Right wants Biden to lead, even some Lefties feel it’s unfortunate that he was being propped up by a political party that clearly wanted him as a puppet.

While running cover for Biden at every opportunity, the Left, predictably, attempted to portray Donald Trump as having mental lapses. Anytime he slurs a word, or says something that is not completely coherent, the Left jumps on it. But their efforts failed. Trump is a sharp cookie.

President Trump, in front of a large group, teleprompters or not, is sly and witty, and keeps his crowds enthralled. Future political candidates will study his technique because the day of the boring politician is done. Somebody who stands in front of a group and issues platitudes will command little attention.

Joe, the Empty Shell

Mental decline is a huge hurdle for any presidential candidate. Democrats never cared about Joe Biden, the person. They were well aware that he was ill, but his health was irrelevant to them. Biden was merely a prop for them to collect votes in 2020. Nothing more. Ever.
