If Biden doesn’t have Parkinson’s, who does?

Oh my God, you guys! I was going to write about the lame letter that Biden sent to Congress today explaining why he should continue to run for re-election when it was suddenly reported that Dr. Kevin Cannard, a neurologist who specializes in movement disorders and recently published a paper on Parkinson’s, visited the White House eight times in eight months from last summer through this spring.

Karine Jean-Pierre, Biden’s press secretary, as well as administration spokespersons vehemently deny that Biden has Parkinson’s, has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, has been treated for Parkinson’s, or is currently taking medication for Parkinson’s.

Okay … then why was the good doctor visiting the White House so often? People like him don’t make house calls except for VIPs like the president and shit. And due to the tight security surrounding the White House, you can’t just casually drop by with a six-pack and hang with the president.

Nope, they have to be expecting you. You have to be on the list. If you’re not on the list, you can’t even get past the heavily guarded front gate. No one can just wander up to the front door and knock, with or without a six-pack.
