Everybody knows that if there had been a fraction of the moments of confusion, aimless wandering, verbal stumbles and random mumblings when Donald Trump was president the media would have been in full-blown “25th Amendment” discussion mode. However, the current president has a “D” after his name, so instead we just get more seizing and pouncing. The Hill has again demonstrated hot it’s done:

So the story isn’t that Biden is mentally declining in front of the entire world … no, the story is the GOP ‘seizing’ on it. 🙄 https://t.co/uTFT9GtFwl

THERE it is… again:
NEW: GOP seizes on Biden gaffes to attack competence https://t.co/RaJjFrkEQi pic.twitter.com/ey9LPhJPn1

They couldn’t be more predictable and it’s just lazy media trolling at this point:
Republicans are seizing on recent gaffes from President Biden, putting a spotlight on his slip-ups to attack Biden’s competency ahead of both the midterms and a 2024 presidential race.
The GOP in particular is using a moment last week when Biden asked whether a congresswoman who died in August was in attendance at the event where he was speaking.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) included the gaffe in a list of their top Democrat fails from last week, criticizing the White House’s refusal to say if Biden would apologize for his remarks as “tough to watch.”
Biden looking for a member of Congress in a room who died in August caught the attention of Republicans, but apparently the media thinks that’s perfectly normal. So “GOP siezes” it is!

Seizes, huh?
I love the smell of desperation in the morning.

Just an amazing headline. Sorry we noticed he has the mental capacity of a 5 year old. We’ll try to do better

The national media would really rather be focused on Gov. DeSantis’ boots right now than the president overseeing an economic disaster.
imagine this headline in 2017 https://t.co/TK5WBexszA

In 2017 the headlines would be about it being necessary to invoke the 25th Amendment, but instead now we get “Republicans sieze.”
