Now this is just getting sad, isn't it?
I thought maybe once he left office, they would let Biden sort of wither away in peace and solemnity. But now it appears as if the former president is still being led to believe that he's super important and necessary on the world stage.
From HuffPo:
Biden later revealed, 'I'm getting calls. I'm not going to go into it, I can't. From a number of European leaders asking me to get engaged. I'm not, but I'm giving advice. Because things are different. You know, I often ask the question, if America doesn't lead the world, who can? Not a joke. Not because of power. Who could put it together? And mistakes, today, have significantly greater consequences than they did 50 years ago.'
Yes, it appears as if Jill Biden is pretending to be different European leaders and calling Joe Biden's cell phone so that he can still pretend to be important.
I'm sorry, does anyone actually believe that Joe Biden is taking phone calls from Macron or Zelensky and giving out "advice" to Europe's leaders? Who in the world would want the advice of a senile cancer patient who doesn't know what year it is?
By the way, I'm pretty sure that the Democrats have told me these sorts of conversations - if they were real - would be Logan Act violations.
Biden also contends that Democrats and Republicans in Congress are seeking out his sage wisdom during retirement.
'How can you just walk away?' Biden asked. 'You don't see me out there publicly doing a lot of this. But I'm also dealing with a lot of Democrats and Republican colleagues calling me, wanting to talk, not because they think I have the answer, just to bounce things off me.
'I'm not looking' for it, he added. 'They asked to see me, I see them.'
I bet Jill Biden does a good Pelosi impression.
Enough to fool Joe, at least.
This is a crock ....
I wonder if this is the same thing. That Biden is getting pranked.
Biden says European leaders have been calling to LAUGH AT HIM ask his advice since he left office.
“...I'm sorry, does anyone actually believe that Joe Biden is taking phone calls from Macron or Zelensky and giving out “advice” to Europe's leaders? Who in the world would want the advice of a senile cancer patient who doesn't know what year it is?...”
They’d be better off calling General Milley, and that’s not really an improvement.
It would not surprise me at all!....................😁
Sad is exactly right. I can see people calling and asking for connections to people who might have held power when Democrats still held some power. Having a Rolodex is still a big deal. But hope won’t give anyone any real leverage, though it must make Biden still feel important. And some of the calls are probably commiseration because they shared his political viewpoint and they like thinking they can directly call the former president of the US. The current one probably doesn’t take their calls.
I think it’s pranksters....................
The question that EU leaders know only Biden can answer: Chocolate chip or vanilla with sprinkles?
Grandmother used to get elderly prankster calls in the 60’s. I always thought it was a unique circumstance. Never realized there was a pattern.
He has been the central person in history since he penned the Magna Carta.
Do you have Prince Albert in the can?..............😁
Great! TrumpII needs to unmask his comms! Biden didn’t pardon himself!
Never heard that joke.
Grandpa smoked Granger. Non-smoker with a warm spot for pipe tobacco.
Old telephone joke:
But the best joke for children of the 1930s involved a tobacco tin. Prince Albert was a very popular brand of tobacco first made in 1907. It was named for the future king of England, Edward VII (called “Albert” by his family), and his picture was on the front.
It was packaged in a rectangular red tin container with a flip lid. Since many tobaccos were sold in bags, not tins, it was special. The ultimate joke, still quoted today, is a child’s call to a drugstore: “Do you have Prince Albert in a can?” The druggist’s answer, “Yes,” was followed by the young prankster’s response, “Then let him out,” followed by peals of laughter.

Put him under oath in front of congress.
Another old telephone joke:
Prankster calls a local grocery store.
Prankster: “This is {made up name} from the Electric company, are your refrigerators running?”
Store Employee: Yes, they are.
Prankster: “Well you better catch them before they get away!”..................
That would be an exercise in futility...............
