Biden displays yet another mental lapse

Under ordinary circumstances, Joe Biden's latest speaking gaffe wouldn't be a big deal. But these aren't ordinary circumstances:

It doesn't matter if Biden had trouble reading the teleprompter. Maybe he needs glasses. Who cares?

But he shouldn't need a teleprompter to know that his own policy, which he was announcing for the first time, was to limit rent increases to 5%, not $55. How could he possibly not remember that?

Coming a day after he mumbled his way through an interview with Lester Holt, this very much suggests that Biden's debate performance wasn't just "a bad night." He needs to face up to facts and resign the presidency before it's too late.

    A 5% cap, that's the sum total of the plan, no conditions regarding how many units, say like complexes with 50 units or more?

    >resign the presidency

    This is unbelievably thoughtless. Doing this will:

    1) Saddle Kamala Harris with having to simultaneously transition to the Presidency and run for office.
    2) Given that the House must approve a new VP, run the risk that it won't, thereby putting Harris at risk of assassination
    3) Throw a monkey wrench into ongoing Israel/Hamas negotiations (Netanyahu is in town next week, btw)
    4)
