‘Handling’ president

-

Mounting evidence seems to suggest that someone may be “handling” Joe Biden as president. I believe each new gaffe and mental lapse provides more evidence of cognitive decline in the president. It is becoming more apparent day by day that he may not be mentally fit to meet the demands of the office. Like the former president, maybe he needs to submit to cognitive testing so we know for sure.

When one thinks about it from a humorous standpoint, some might quip his handlers could be guilty of elder abuse. However, there are serious considerat­ions if any of it is true. If someone has usurped the power and authority of the office of the president of the United States of America, we have a real problem. Those people weren’t elected. Joe Biden was, nobody else. If he isn’t fit, there are constituti­onal procedures in place to deal with it. I believe anyone assuming the power and authority of the office in his stead by deception is acting beyond malfeasanc­e and has committed a seditious coup that is subversion and an abuse of public trust that amounts to treason.

Because such treachery involves serious crimes with penalties ranging from huge fines and long prison terms to the ultimate penalty, it is imperative the nation gets to the bottom of it, if not for purely legal reasons but to ensure public trust. If it were true someone assumed the president’s authority and covered it up, whoever is running the Oval Office must be exposed and prosecuted. Such a perversion of constituti­onal law, leadership, and trust cannot be allowed to continue.
