The good news: After 28 days, presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden finally held a news conference on Tuesday. The bad news: He only took questions from a pre-approved list of reporters.
After opening comments, Biden wearily looked around the room as he took the list from his coat pocket. Im happy to take your questions, he said; Let me get my list. (He looked anything but happy.)
Im supposed to call on people, he said at one point, again referring to the trusty list no doubt provided by a breath-holding staffer.
GOP Rapid Response Director Steve Guest tweeted a short video clip of Biden pulling the list from his coat pocket and studying it for a few seconds. Joe looks a little rusty in understanding how press conferences work, he said. (See: understatement.)

Joe Biden has gone 28 days without holding a press conference.
He's finally taking questions.
“I'm happy to take your questions. Let me get my list here.”
Joe Biden sounds a little rusty in understanding how press conferences work.

So the questions came. Oh, those hard-hitting questions.
Yup, the soon-to-be Democrat presidential nominee was drilled with some pretty hardcore Pulitzer-worthy stuff, as White House Press Secretary Kayleigh MacEnany who is shredded by the TDS-riddled mainstream media on a daily basis wryly mocked.
Shredders they were not.
Kayleigh McEnany
Speaking as someone who often takes tough questions, the questions Biden receives are an embarrassment to journalism...
-Are you running against realDonaldTrump or for President?
-Where do you think the race stands?
-Why Delaware?
-Walks off to applause. MUST BE NICE!

Joe was given a list of Ministry of Propaganda allies to call on so he would not get any unexpected questions for which he did not have prepared answers.
Cut to the chase - so what IS his favorite color?
Probably with pre-approved Q & A, just like the 'water buffalo" in the last election.
Biden (or more appropriately his handlers) are making the same mistake the Hillary crew did in 2016, trying to run a 1990’s style campaign in 2020. The days are long past when a candidate could get by with reading a few prepared remarks in controlled setting every couple weeks and win. It’s all about being “real”, engaging people daily on twitter and Facebook and responding to events as soon as they happen in person, something Trump is a master at.
Favorite color is Chinese Red, as in commie red !
Pitiful, his handlers and hanger-ons should be flogged
Its surprise that Im no fan of Biden. But I dont see him as an evil person (like Hillary is). I actually feel sorry for Biden. He should not be subjected to this. It cant be doing him any good. From the article:
As Biden opened the press conference, he said: Welcome to Kingswood Community Center, everyone. Just one problem. He was in the William Hicks Anderson Center.
That would be funny if it were from a TV situation comedy. But its from real life, from a confused old man who deserves to be left alone.
“Briefs or Boxers...or Depends...?...”
Ugh. That first sentence should be: Its no surprise that Im no fan of Biden.
I need to hire a proofreader.
A Biden press conference is like a North Korea press conference:
—Approved reporters
—Approved questions
—Approved answers
—Mass media articles/coverage scripted by DNC censors
All hail the fearless leader! er liar....
I see him as a senIle old man, I don’t even hate him like many far leftists do Trump, I just wish he would retire. Hell, I wish a ton of really old and senile politicians would retire.
Did he also read the answers? That would be hilarious.
“Thank you for that spontaneous question.”
Blue, No, wait!!! Yellooowwww
Who forgot to tell Joe not to mention the list?
I can imagine the back room pacing and nail biting by his staff during one of these events. It must be torture.
:)
They forgot to give him the list of things to not say that had that on it.
Harris was born in the USA to parents both of whom were temporary visiting aliens at the time of her birth. Harris was born with equal citizenships in three countries and raised during the most influential period of her childhood in an foreign land, thus her natural allegiance is not solely with the USA, but is equally split among at least three different countries.
Harris is merely a born citizen by statute (statutory born citizen), not the more restrictive natural born Citizen as required by the Constitution (not that dems care about a little thing called the Constitution). Harris is Constitutionally ineligible to become president or vice president.
However, the Constitution isn't worth the parchment it was written on if we don't have the courage to enforce it. The Founders would be appalled.
“I actually feel sorry for Biden. He should not be subjected to this.”
I suggest you listen to a recording of Senator Biden raking Clarence Thomas over the coals over the notion of “Natural Rights” during Thomas’ SCOTUS nomination hearings. After that have a listen to former Vice President Biden bragging to the Council on Foreign relations about holding aid to Ukraine hostage until a prosecutor investigating Hunter was fired.
Joe Biden has always been an evil craven P.O.S. He just happens to be a pathetic senile drooling P.O.S as well now.
Biden recognizes Barbra Walters for the next question.
