Joe Biden Finally Takes Questions from Media, It Doesn’t End Well
RedState ^ | September 2, 2020 | Nick Arama

Posted on 09/03/2020 5:31:36 AM PDT by sickoflibs

Joe Biden has been hiding in his basement for months.

He managed to struggle through a speech at the Democratic convention with the help of a teleprompter.

But since then, he wasn’t even able to get it together for a simple 12 minute speech in Pittsburgh, again with no audience and reading off a teleprompter, not even taking any questions.

Today they made a big mistake and let him answer questions and it was a complete mess.

First, he had his staff filter what questions to take. (video at link)

At best it looks like Biden can't simply look at someone and point. At worst it looks like the campaign has a preapproved list they are calling from, which of course journalists shouldn't agree to. (They have)

Could it be scripted questions and answers? But then it went down hill from that opening.

He didn’t take that many questions. But even the ones that his staff took, he had difficulty with.

It’s the only way he will get a chance to expose to America the true DemonRat nominee, 2% Harris.

Many will use profanity in the same way as raising the tone. For me, profanity is always a marker of a flawed argument.

“ When Biden is challenged or confronted, he will raise his voice, but there is a complete absence of sincerity. It’s manufactured outrage, and completely plastic.”

And his verbal tics emerge. C’mon man, in fact, etc.

"Many will use profanity in the same way as raising the tone. For me, profanity is always a marker of a flawed argument."

I've always liked the term, "salty language," for profanity, as I think it's a good analogy to preparing food. A master chef knows when and where adding a little salt is appropriate, where it is not, where it can be used to enhance the flavor of a meal and when and how much will completely make the meal unpalatable.

Similarly, an effective communicator might judiciously apply a little sprinkle of "salty" profanity here and there to inject humor, emphasize a point, etc. Certainly, if an entire conversation or verbal presentation is rife with vulgarity, I agree - it's all the speaker has and reflects poorly on the person's communication skills, vocabulary, education and intellect. On the other hand, an otherwise erudite, reasoned, calm verbal presentation that suddenly and skillfully injects a quick off-color term will certainly grab the listener's attention, and it may serve to better connect with an audience.

Just my $0.02 :-)

He rambles and puts words together in a meaningless string of stuttering babbles. The media, acting as his servant, changes his words and reports biden’s words as if they were coherent.

I actually feel bad for him.

Don't feel bad for him. He should burn in hell for eternity. He has a lifetime record supporting murder and the destruction of America.

I still think they’re find a “reason” for no debates, at all.

Dr Jill... what a piece of work she is.....Slojo is pitiful and should be in happy acres...he is just on the ticket to get really unwoke black votes....he won’t debate...he may read some statements...maybe...and I’m still thinking he won’t even be on the ticket in November....Tulsi Gabbard was the only rat candidate that had a scintilla of intelligence and honesty and the rats destroyed her....

I’m amazed Biden’s team would have to filter the questions...

The press is so corrupt and vile they’d be willing to have Biden’s staff provide them with the questions Biden wants asked.

RE:”Could it be scripted questions and answers?”

Which he even has trouble with.

He took a real question from a FNC reporter against the direction of his staff and he was a disaster for him.

Biden is proof the democrat party thinks everyone is stupid unless you live in D.C. or the west coast.

Gabbard and Williamson were by far the most sane Dems in the debates...and both have their problems - but yeah, the rest ganged up and slandered them.

Not only is Plugs unfit to be President, he’s unfit to even be a CANDIDATE!

The Depends/Kneepads campaign know their candidate has seriously advancing dementia—and they’re STUCK with him, LMAO!!!
