The truth can now be told.
A month after the 2024 election, the left wing New York Times is finally admitting that there’s no way that Joe Biden could have handled the job of being president for another four years.
Of course, this is the same paper that just six months ago was accusing people of using ‘cheap fakes’ to make Biden look older and more feeble than he actually is.
This is something that the New York Times wrote in June of this year:

The Times now: “How could anyone have imagined Joe Biden could ever serve another four years?”

Remember when the Times and other news outlets told us that Joe Biden was as sharp as a tack? Yeah, they lied. It’s really that simple.
