Remembering How The Media Gaslit Us About Biden's Senility 

Shortly after Biden's disastrous debate, the media pivoted to concern trolling about his senility. Olivia Nuzzi's article was an illustrative example. 

Her X post about it prompted a reasonable question from many commenters: if you began hearing about this in January, why didn't you publish this in January (or February, etc.)? Her reply was something to the effect of "journalism takes time", but obviously, they had shelved this until the debate exposed that the emperor was wearing no clothes. 

Given the media's pivot, it's worth remembering how hard they worked to obscure Biden's deteriorating mental condition for so long. Drew Holden details that in his X thread below. Before we get to that, a brief update on our previous post. 

A Quick Update On Our Tesla Post

Earlier today, we shared a post about turning tactically bearish on Tesla over the next several trading days (Being Tactical About Tesla). The max gain on that trade, a profit of 150%, occurs with Tesla trading below $255. 

With the news this afternoon that Tesla has delayed its robotaxi demo to October, our bearish Tesla trade is already in the black. 

Now on to Drew Holden's thread.

About Biden's "Stutter"

Let's pause for a moment to address Biden's alleged stutter. Biden has been in national politics since he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1973. There are endless hours of video of him speaking, and you'd be hard pressed to find any of him stuttering before 10 or 15 years ago. 

Back To Drew Holden's Thread

In Case You Missed It

In our previous post, we wrote about being tactical about Tesla. 

We're still on track for a 200% gain if Tesla is trading over $205 in January, but today we have trade teed up that can make us a 150% gain if Tesla drops by just a few percent by the end of next week.
