The surreal nature of Washington politics has reached new heights, with a recent episode highlighting the curious mindset of the Biden administration. In a shocking display of loyalty—or perhaps denial—several Cabinet members were surveyed on whether they believed President Joe Biden was fit to serve. The responses that emerged reveal just how deep the bubble of delusion runs within D.C.
The apparent consensus among these officials was clear: confidence in Biden’s abilities remains unwavering, despite ample evidence to the contrary. Chief among the defenders was Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security, who claimed his belief in Biden’s competency had never wavered. This is the same man who oversees a border crisis spinning out of control while maintaining that everything is under control. Such optimism may be admirable in a different context, but it borders on the absurd in the face of glaring failures.
Joe Biden should be denied any classified info after Jan 20. Can’t be trusted given his mental decline.

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo joined the ranks of faithful supporters, declaring Biden to be among the “most accomplished presidents” in history. One could be forgiven for assuming she was reading from a scripted fantasy rather than addressing current realities. The disconnect between the administration’s spin and the nation’s pressing issues becomes even more pronounced when one considers the barrage of scandals and crises plaguing the Biden White House. Yet, confidence stands firm as if tethered to a long-extinct belief system.
Further shoring up the façade was Sabrina Singh, the deputy press secretary at the Pentagon, who touted Biden’s supposedly adept leadership in national security matters. Declarations of confidence from officials linked to the military might just sound like a round of applause at a failing talent show. With national security hanging in the balance and matters of defense being sidestepped for identity politics, one must question the value of these reassurances from the upper echelons of the government.
It is obvious Joe Biden suffers from Dementia, rapid cognitive decline in his term. How can Our leaders allow him to make life and death decisions regarding war funding, pardons, policy decisions!! He is not capable of independently making these choices.

Biden’s presidency has been marred by constant reminders of his declining mental acuity, often glossed over by a sympathetic media. Incidents of flubbed speeches, confusing momentary lapses, and even stumbling on stairs should prompt serious introspection among those supporting him. Instead, these officials engage in a collective effort to create a reality that runs counter to what the American public observes. The idea that whispers about Biden’s mental fitness are simply dismissed underscores a culture of complacency bordering on complicity.
As these Cabinet members continue to repeat their mantras of loyalty, one must wonder if they are simply afraid to acknowledge the truth. With whispers from behind closed doors indicating that Biden’s condition may be worse than the public has been led to believe, one thing becomes clear: the administration’s inability to confront reality isn’t just a symptom of one man’s leadership but rather a collective failure of accountability among those around him. In a city where politics often devolves into a peculiar charade, this episode serves as yet another reminder of how lost in their own world D.C. has become.
