NOW It’s OK to Mock Biden’s Mental State **UPDATED
Kimmel, Fallon tee off on Commander in Chief's Amazon Rain Forest walkabout
Comedy shouldn’t have any rules.
Audiences decide what’s appropriate and what’s beyond the pale. Tell a series of mean, racially-charged jokes and you might find your crowds dwindling. Fast.
Making fun of a dementia-addled senior, for example, doesn’t work in most situations. Unless that senior is the President of the United States. And, more importantly, the media and the leader’s own party pretend there’s nothing to see here.
Move along.
It’s why jokes aimed at President Joe Biden’s mental acuity were always in play. The press and Democrats pretended Biden wasn’t suffering from the ravages of time, covering up his condition until the June 27 presidential debate.

We all saw Biden’s sad reality that day. It couldn’t be hidden any longer.
Late-night comedians and “Saturday Night Live” similarly covered for Biden for the past three-plus years. A few did it even after we saw the sad evidence ourselves.
The host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” said Biden was perfectly fine when he froze for a shocking amount of time at the end of a star-studded June fundraiser.
Not anymore.
President Biden wandered off following a press conference held in the Amazon rain forest. Or, as the left-leaning Telegraph called it, “ambled into greenery.”
Both Kimmel and “The Tonight Show’s” Jimmy Fallon mocked the embarrassing moment.

“And he was never seen again,” Kimmel said after showing the cringe-worthy clip.
Fallon, whose once-mighty platform no longer rules late-night TV, mocked the appearance for all it was worthy.
“Here’s my question. Who thought it was a good idea to send Biden into a humid, 100 degree rainforest? After five minutes, he looked like an apple that someone left in a food dehydrator … Meanwhile, the way Biden was dressed is going viral. Can we see a photo of Biden in the rainforest? He looks like a billionaire who regrets opening a live dinosaur park. “He looks like he’s been waiting three hours for his grandkids to get off the river boats at Animal Kingdom. He looks like Jeff Probst in Season 396 of ‘Survivor.’”
UPDATE: It turns out Jon Stewart couldn’t hold back, either.
“The Daily Show” semi-regular host teed off on Biden’s walkabout on his far-Left perch.
“What the f***? … In the middle of this he disappears into the rainforest? Starring in what appears to be four Pixar movies in one mixed together?
“Where are you going!? … Mr. President, I’m sorry. The tribe has spoken. Extinguish your torch. What is happening? Maybe this is how we should do the transfer of power. The winner moves into the White House and the incumbent just wanders off into the jungle so that his nutrients may be returned to the soil.”
Hilarious jon stewart addition! Almost spit out my water!
It looked like the ending of Harry and the Hendersons.
Was that funny? Nope. They tried, but failed at comedy. They are clearly holding back more scathing jokes.
