Joe Biden's Briefing Book Press Conference Was a Staged Affair
National Interest ^ | 3/25/2021 | Conrad Black

Posted on 03/25/2021 1:06:57 PM PDT by Onthebrink

He was very well-rehearsed to take predictable questions on the Democrats’ soft-points and respond with articulate answers that had almost nothing to do with the real issue. Less reassuringly, he read from briefing notes at length in a manner that brazenly advertised the pre-selection of questionnaires, questions, and generally windy and evasive answers. No president in the history of such press conferences, going back to Franklin D. Roosevelt, has ever responded from a briefing book, especially one where the questions were in anticipated sequence as occurred today.

The range of questions did not have to be pre screened. They could sit down and craft answers to 90% of the questions. And when you are asked one you haven’t rehearsed...you read the answer to one of the others.

someone mentioned that the way to shut down background checks for gun purchases is to demand background checks for illegals pouring across our borders- the left will scream about background checks being racist then

Truly embarrassing, a couple of takeaways:
1) The Briefing book, clearly they believed it was necessary due to cognitive decline.
2) The Press, 180 degree opposite of the Trump demeanor where they shouted and challenged and accused.
3) Question content: All predictable, follow-up was expected, no unique or creative questions.
4) Manner of questions, some were loaded with compliments as part of the question.
5) No questions from the number one cable news organization in America, clearly they are afraid of a non scripted question.
6) Impression: staged, scripted and boring.

What was with the noticeably bulging blood vessel from the temple area (head) going to his right eye. Left side, not so much...

If the Lame Street Media treated him like they did Pres. Trump, I’ll guarantee you he would have no more pressers.

He read the names of reporters off a index card. He knew the question they would ask and had answer written on the back. He got ahead of himself. Called on the reporter and must have put the card down and picked up the next card and flipped it over. The reporter asked about gun control and he started in on drinking water in schools. He must have jumped ahead. It’s like he didn’t even listen to the question. He is so out of it. He stopped in the middle of a answer once. He likely had a ear piece. Did anyone see a promoter.

it is being said that the ILLEGAL INVADERS who biden is putting up in hotels will cost taxpayers $72,000 PER ILLEGAL to house in nice hotels, plus there’s talk illegals will be getting the stimulus checks-

So legal citizens, shut down for over a year now, many having lost their job permanently- some even being locked up for trying to work to support their families, get $1400 stimulus check,

ILLEGAL INVADERS crash our borders and get put up in fancy hotels free of charge AND get stimulus checks?

Joe Biden Press Conference

"Constricted, or small pupils, can occur for a variety of reasons
including eye injuries, brain trauma, medication side effects and
stroke."

"Cocaine and methamphetamine abuse can also cause shrinkage
of the pupils."

joe's wide open eyes with beady pupils.

Medicated?

Proving yet again that Biden is a subject of the presidential steering committee chaired by Susan Rice.

Its all as foggy as Joe’s mind.

He iss attempting to be transparent, but he is can only be as transparent as the fog of his own dementia will allow.

FAIT ACCOMPLIS! ( No transparency for you suckers!)

Interesting meme, but no one is even mentioning it.

how long will the media toe the line... cracks in the dam, with scripted questions... and now follow ups.

Maybe he had a mini-stroke. He had several brain operations.
His focus and attentions span is very limited. He is not aware of what he is saying and doing.

Watch him complain about ‘how tough the press is on him’

IF the press treated him like they did Trump, biden would be challenging them all to a fist fight out behind the barn, or push ups

They may not let him have another one. He had index cards with the name of reporter to call on. Had the question written on it. Flipped it over and had the answer on back. He still got lost. If he had 30 reporters in front of him talking over him and screaming questions he would never make it. He almost got mad over a question he knew was coming.

~~~

Probable.

It was my idea way back before the election that they probably mega dose him on adderall in those few non-basement appearances that they didn’t call lids on.

The sad part is, jacking him up on adderall (methamphetamine mixture) just to squeeze out as much performance as they can out of his failing neurochemistry probably precipitated a faster decline in his cognitive abilities.
