Don’t let Joe Biden’s cancer news distract from media, Democrats’ obscene cover-up

We’ll offer prayers for Joe Biden — but still view the cancer news in the context of the preceding years of lies about the then-president’s health.
The announcement puzzles doctors left and right who don’t get how it could possibly come as a surprise, when any halfway-competent MD would’ve spotted it years ago.
Joe is a private citizen now, with no need or duty to keep the public informed on these things, yet his family decided to announce his dire condition two days after the Robert Hur tapes finally leaked, and as “Original Sin” — a deep dive into the coverup of Biden’s mental decline — got released.
That sure looks like an effort to render discussions of that cover-up “more muted,” as David Axelrod urged.
Yet it shouldn’t in the least, because settling accounts and learning lessons from this sad tale isn’t directly about Joe Biden at all.
It’s about 1) his inner circle, who strove to keep his decline as secret as possible even within the White House, and kinda-sorta got away with it because 2) the entire leadership of the Democratic Party, in office and out, played along — as did most of the media.
That is, a huge chunk of the nation’s supposed elite convinced themselves that lying to each other about the president’s incapacity was the way to go.
Even though the public as a whole, on the basis of what it could see, had grown convinced he was too old for the job by the end of 2021.
