Joe Biden is a wild animal that can not be tamed, or at least that’s the perception White House staffers are sharing. According to Politico, some of them have gotten into the habit of muting or even turning off the president when he’s speaking because they are so anxious that he’ll go off-script, begin taking questions, or otherwise
And while this is being spun as a concern that he’ll simply end up off message, I think we all know what that really means.
NEW: When Biden gives public remarks, some White House staffers will either mute him or turn off his remarks. It’s not indifference. It’s anxiety.https://t.co/oOOdi0Ogzl pic.twitter.com/iOkdZoJwL8

I suppose this is part of working for a president who is in steep mental decline, and Biden shows no signs of slowing down. The concern about messaging is obviously not about him daring to touch on a policy issue he’s not “supposed to,” but the fact that his mind continually melts anytime he’s not on a teleprompter, and it often does even when he has one.
The bumbling, the fumbling, the forgetfulness, and the anger have become a common aspect of Biden’s public outings, with the latter being of the most concern for anyone trying to keep him in line. None of that is the result of a stutter. It’s the result of a president who isn’t mentally capable of doing his job.
But isn’t there something a bit nefarious about having a Commander in Chief so heavily controlled by nameless, faceless staffers? The American people did not actually elect the people who appear to be running our government. Telling Biden he can’t take questions? Giving him cheat sheets with big pictures on them? It’s all pretty disturbing when you consider the president is supposed to be somewhere close to the smartest person in the room, ready to make nation-shifting decisions at a moment’s notice.
Does anyone believe Biden is up for that?
A president should not need to be controlled at this level. It’s one thing to settle on a congruent messaging strategy. All White Houses do that. But it’s another thing to be so terrified Biden will snap at a reporter or start riffing on “the thing” that staffers are having to cope by muting his public appearances.
That reality has left a hole in the Biden administration’s ability to handle the onslaught of crises now befalling the nation. The president is not able to address the nation at the spur of the moment. He’s not able to take an hour’s worth of questions to soothe a nation on edge. Instead, everything he does must be tightly managed and scripted, and the moment Biden strays, trouble follows.
It must be a nightmare to work under those conditions. Yet, I certainly don’t feel sorry for his staffers. They backed this guy and helped put him in office. Now, they get to enjoy the fruits of that at our expense.
Poor dears are “terrified”. Yeah, and the Americans he left behind in Afghanistan?
President Potato is unpredictable.
He doesn’t even know what he’ll say next.
He doesn’t even know what he said an hour ago......................
Biden staffers are paid to tolerate whatever....who gives a hoot if they’re scared or upset.....they’re getting what they gladly walked into. While they laugh at the public for having gotten away with all this.
Other than the death destruction the suppression of human rights and the all-around evil it’s
actually getting kind of funny!
Hey Arizona?? Where is your audit already?
.... At least there’s no Trump....
Prozac manufacturers can help them.
or mean tweets.
…which is why they’ll yank him as SOON as the higher ups O.K. it…
Kamala will stay on script for them.
“He doesn’t even know what he said an hour ago................”
I believe he is smarter than you think. He is goofing on all of us. IMO
Yes.
He’s always been this way.
A total commie lib at heart......................
I remember the left constantly saying Reagan was stupid and deranged. Now they just shrug and say, “open wide.” I expect another poll any day showing a new low in this jerks’ popularity, 48 percent disapproval as opposed to last week’s record low 47 percent.

The only reason why he is still in office is that the media deliberately hides all his errors, and shows the public only selected clips of him looking presidential.
They’re traitors-—nothing but damn traitors!
Why does their suffering make me so happy?
Its going to get worse!
That’s my prediction, these people haven’t a clue the rolling thunder that will come by covering up for Biden.
The lies, mutes, and sidesteps are just going to accumulate, contradict, and create new tight-ropes for Biden he doesn’t have the cognitive ability to walk.
So, the White House staff fears when the Commander-in-Chief goes off script.
The depth of wrongness in that one thought is unfathomable (adjective carefully chosen).
Impeach 46.
