Is the liberal MSM starting to talk about Joe Biden’s issues including his coherence and confusion problems?
It seems like they might finally have started approaching the topic, although certainly not calling out everything, as we might.
As we noted over the weekend, in a surprising move for CNN, they were honest and reported on his “confusion” when he was talking about test kits with ABC’s David Muir. He repeatedly called test kits “pills,” then corrected himself and then called them “pills” again even after correcting himself. In a remarkably honest report, CNN took notice of it and pointed out how even the current pledge that the Biden administration made to provide test kits to Americans wouldn’t produce any action until sometime in the future and perhaps was illusory.
CNN’s Jeff Zeleny says Joe Biden is “not accepting any responsibility for this lack of testing.”

“Repeatedly throughout this interview with David Muir, President Biden seems confused and was confusing the half a billion tests that they’ve ordered with a half a billion pills,” Zeleny said. “Of course, pills were in the news today with the Pfizer approval of the anti-viral, so he corrected himself, but that was one thing that stuck out to me.”
Zeleny also points out that the promise for tests in January may be illusory, as well. “There is no sense, from this administration, [tests] will be sent out early in January as the president suggested,” Zeleny explained.
They also ripped him with a brutal comparison to Jimmy Carter’s economic approval numbers, saying that his numbers were now worse than those of Carter.
However, it wasn’t just CNN. Terry Moran of ABC went there, as well, although he used a description not in common use to describe Biden. It sure does fit.
ABC’s Terry Moran: Biden is seen as an "enervated executive."

“One of the challenges that Biden has had as president is he seems to a lot of people to be an enervated executive, ” Moran said. “It is partly his age, it’s partly that he hasn’t seized hold of a lot of the issues that people are most concerned about. He’s obviously behind the eight-ball on testing and COVID. And I think people are eager for more energy in the executive and more youth as well.”
Merriam-Webster defines “enervated” as “lacking physical, mental, or moral vigor.” The Oxford Lexico Dictionary defines it as “drained of energy or vitality.” Both are perfect descriptions of Joe Biden. It isn’t just that he’s confused and frequently incoherent, he lacks any energy to approach any of the issues currently bedeviling him. That’s why he has not just been confused about testing, but why he’s said a lot about it, promised tests but then did nothing. Even now, after the media yelled at him on the subject and forced him to say something, any action is weeks off. There’s a complete lack of energy to get things done. It’s just about superficially saying whatever he thinks will go over well to get him through the moment. It’s why everything he approaches from Afghanistan to Build Back Better goes down in flames. He had months to get people out of Afghanistan, we were calling him out since May to do so, but he didn’t. He’s a placeholder to hold the Democrats’ power and it comes across that way, to anyone honestly looking at this administration. As I noted previously, it’s not the Biden Administration, it’s the “Bystander Administration” where things just happen around Joe but none of the bad things are ever his fault.
Kamala could assume the presidency pending a Biden resignation in 2022 or 2023 at the very latest.
The feckless GOP had better line up some Constitutional lawyers to challenge her eligibility...this charade has gone far enough....clean house!
I’m still predicting removal of Kamala first.
This is the best Senate they’re gonna have re: installing whoever they have in mind for a designated & coronated President. Dump Harris (combination of tanking polls, closet skeletons, and lucrative payoffs aka book deals), select new VP ASAP, ram preferred replacement thru a barely cooperative advise-and-consent process just before Congress makes a hard right turn, 25th Biden, behold un-democratic choice of Democrat POTUS, waft in a lightweight VP as placeholder tolerated by new Republican Senate’s.
If they 25th Biden first, we get Kamala - whom nobody wanted in the primaries, and nobody respects now. She’s not who The Party wants running the country, taking on a hostile Congress, and being the default nominee for next presidential election. They MUST get someone else in place as VP before Joe steps down - and if CNN is warning about his state now, they have little time to pull this off.
Hillary won’t tolerate being VP for long. Kamala won’t leave easily should she get the Oval Office, and presidential Arkancide would be a real bad way to move up. Better to get in line before Joe vacates.
Yep. But Brandon ran and enough people were stupid enough to vote (or cheat) for him.
Good news though is that with the ongoing incompetence in that office, fewer and fewer are expecting solutions from fed gov. De facto power will hopefully return to the states, although precious few governors are prepared to lead and fewer still are willing to make a play for autonomy. Maybe that’ll change?
Willie’s Ho is pretty stupid and indeed a political neophyte.
But I have to give her credit. Recent reports that she has engaged Hillary Clinton to instruct and advise her politically is pretty impressive.
If she is able to learn and engage even a third of the dirty tricks that Hillary can teach her? We are so screwed.
A media outlet that can’t differentiate between reality and lies complaining about someone who can’t differentiate between reality and lies.
For some reason, the line "I taught you everything YOU know, but not everything I know" comes to mind.

There is nothing they can do to get rid of Harris. She has done nothing impeachable. VP’s don’t have any official duties except tie-breaking votes in the Senate and counting the Electoral Votes every 4 years.
Unless she has some hidden transgressions we do not know about she is golden.
They will not be able to pressure her into resigning. No way is she going to quit, just one heartbeat away from being the first woman POTUS. NO WAY IN HELL...................
I agree. And I predict this scenario:
Hillary Clinton advises and instructs Kamala behind the scenes.
Either through the 25th, or through a natural loss of pedo Joe’s mental capacity, he is removed. Hillary is appointed VP.
As VP, Clinton becomes the front runner in 2024 and is elected.
It is my understanding that since 1947 the Speaker of the House is third in the presidential line of succession. If the Republicans win the next mid-term, the new Congress will decide who that will be.
He didn’t accomplish what he was supposed to. Now they’ll pile on to oust him. They all knew he had dementia and was temporary anyway. If he got his commie build back better plan through, they’d be calling him smarter than Einstein.
The press is the enemy.
Laugh all you want, but I've placed bets on the first step of that.
The second step, not so much -- Big Mike is lazy. I'd bet on ValJar before Mike.

True. And you and I both know there would be more than just one Republican who would gladly vote for Hillary as vice president.

Apparently I’m some kind of freaking genius because even with zero medical training I could easily tell that 1) Biden is a moron and 2) he was going downhill faster than the Agony of Defeat guy from Wild World of Sports with similar results.
She is Constitutionally ineligible from birth to hold the position.
That is the path for dumping her. Sure it is blatant hypocrisy but that means nothing to them. That is their ‘out.’
If Hillary gets in, don’t be surprised if she gets re-elected. Not good at all.
“I would have avoided a term like “enervated” because (I think) it would give the opposite impression to many people.”
Which is precisely why they chose to use that word!
I do not know who Terry Moran is. Never watch MSM.
Guy on Patriot Radio today said all is going just as the dems want. There will be no 25th because the cabinet members are doing whatever they want to do, lefty wise, and they have no fear that The Bidet will over rule them as he is out of touch. So, why would that cabinet push him out, he said, they got what they want and no one to rein them in.
IMO, Unless he falls over with his tongue in the air like old faithful, he is there till 24. Kamoola, sic, is there as an insurance policy unless they can find some way to force her out before the 22 blood bath and move in a candidate who could win in 24.
