I feel uniquely qualified to express my opinions on this particular day. I am just about as “elder” as one can get, although I count myself fortunate beyond words to have never been the target of, or seen any examples of, this tragic form of abuse at any time in my family. As a matter of fact, with Father’s Day approaching, I am reminded again that I occupy a lucky spot on the very opposite end of the spectrum from that sad phenomenon.
Sadly for the person being targeted before our very eyes day in and day out and, due to his position as President of the United States, Mr. Biden cannot claim that pleasant circumstance as the evidence of his family’s abuse — especially that of his seemingly grasping, avaricious wife, “Doctor” Jill — is before us, and dangerously, the world, every single day.
The following examples are not set forth out of malice, a statement I make as I bow to no one when it comes to expressing my abhorrence at the record of his administration, but to reflect clear, videographic and documentary evidence of the abuse being heaped upon this husk of a human being who should at this point in his life be treated with kindness and compassion by his family, not the polar opposite.
These are just a very few examples in the form of video clips collected by the Washington Free Beacon over the past year or two:
This fall at the Air Force Academy was a hard fall and should have been notice enough to the world that he is no longer fit for the most demanding job in the world:
This condition was treated extensively in a recent article in the Wall Street Journal entitled Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping. I respectfully submit, that it is especially probative as it draws on sources who work with, and see, the President regularly. It makes for informative, albeit chilling, reading.
Here, according to the website of the University of California Center for Elder Justice are signs of Elder Abuse:
I do not claim that all of these are applicable to the Biden family, but some of them clearly are. On this day especially it is helpful to take a look at these warning signs as this deadly abuse is reportedly happening all around us.
Query: if your husband or brother or Dad or Granddad had taken that fall or was speaking gibberish in public or shaking hands with thin air or wandering around in a field at an important meeting of world leaders, wouldn’t you start instituting measures to get him into a facility designed for this very condition? Even if it meant giving up your own “personal” 747 and lifestyle only a very few people in our history have ever known?
I know the answer for 99.99999999999% of American families.
I know the answer for 100% of my family.

Who says God doesn't have a sense of humor - pairing the grasping, avaricious Joe Biden with "Dr. Jill." It is a match made in heaven.

Exactly. I have a strong urge to feel sorry for one in his position; but then I remember his history and find it very hard to summon any empathy. He's getting what he has earned.

He is “President Corrado Soprano,” someone obviously past his prime who has thirsted for the role his whole life, installed as the head of the whole shebang in order to take the heat and negative attention while his underlings actually run things just outside of the spotlight.
