Do you really buy into that one, the "them behind the curtain" thing with Joe? I remember Joe when he was in full control of his faculties, and today's Joe certainly ain't that Joe, but beyond the point that at least he isn't a xenophobic, misogynistic, anti-Jew Hitler admiring draft dodging narcissistic rich kid, liar and sexual predator with daddy issues, do you really believe the entire man (or woman) behind the curtain thing with Sleepy Joe?
Yes I do and it has nothing to do with how 'not Trump' he is.
Oh, I didn't mean to connect the idiot man child with the sleepy senior, other than both wouldn't qualify as an American leader if Americans would..you know...THINK and stuff.

I can see it being Jill. Have you ever cared for elderly parents, and were any of them suffering from cognitive decline? I've got that going on right now, so it makes perfect sense to presume an "other", I was just trying trying to figure out if you were into the whack-a-doodle end of this, as compared to the reasonable and practical aspects of it.

I might add that those around him are not doing very well at it.
No one ever claimed the alt-fact universe Trump had as advisors were any better. They were so obvious in being toadies that couldn't even gaslight well to any audience beyond the typical campaign rally crowd. At least Uncle Joe's folks are managing to not make it as obvious.
But I get Jill. One functioning brain that high up might be enough to keep the wheels on, and is probably better and more carefully thought out than the sum total of what Trump had in himself, his family, and everyone with an office in the WH combined though.
