Joe Biden's "big boy" press conference is in the books, and it did not go well.
As RedState reported, the president showed up with a pre-selected list of reporters to call on, a fact that he announced before taking questions. During the first question, the president then called Donald Trump his vice president, confusing his political opponent with Kamala Harris. From there, he's been rambling and filibustering, attempting to burn enough time so his staff can claim he held his own.
The truth is, this was a disaster.
Yes, that's the President of the United States having no idea who the President of the United States is. Who exactly is he referring to? Jill Biden? Hunter Biden? A cabal of handlers? Whose advice is he following?
Jill Biden may be the answer.
That was part of a rambling answer in which Biden was trying to explain why his need to go to bed earlier is not a sign of his ongoing mental and physical decline. He was attempting to throw his staff under the bus, claiming they added things to his schedule. Putting aside that he's the president, he then claims his wife is angry because he's doing so much.
Does that sound like someone who should be president? Someone who isn't even in control of his own administration and can't handle a tough schedule because his wife will get mad?
When pressed on his mental capabilities, Biden was defiant, proclaiming that there is "no indication" that he's slowing down and can't get the job done. He then fumbled with his pre-selected list of reporters, unable to read it for several seconds.
What that answer shows is that Biden is deep in his delusion. There's no getting through to him. He truly believes he's fine, and he's not going to leave the race. He's going down with the ship.
With that said, it's worth noting that Biden is a shameless liar as well. Senility isn't his only problem.
Of note is that Biden has the worst foreign policy record in American history given the length of his career. He has been wrong about nearly every decision or position he's ever taken. Regardless, to say that it is Donald Trump who has problems with foreign policy is insane. The world was far more peaceful under the former president than the current one. It is under Biden that Russia invaded Europe. It is under Biden that Gaza started a war with Israel. It is under Biden that China has been unapologetically on the march.
There were several other malfunctions throughout the presser.
Mercifully, the presser finally ended, but not until Karine Jean-Pierre had to interject and declare it over. That came immediately after Biden started whispering and smirking like a lunatic.
Notably, a reporter was still able to get a question in about Biden confusing Trump with Harris. The president had no answer, made a one-line quip that made no sense, and walked off the stage.
Thus ended a terrible showing for Biden and possibly his presidency. Yes, he's going to stay in the race, but his chances of winning are dwindling to nothing. Will the press be ridiculous enough to claim that presser was a win? I guess, we'll see.
Most likely Newsom. Then the polls would tighten just because he’s not senile and the steal wouldn’t be so glaring.
Every appearance is gaff watch it’s ridiculous we can’t go on like this it’s not about Biden it’s about this country.
He’s been coherent and functional enough this whole time that they all thought they could get away with covering for him. And he thinks he’s still coherent and functional enough to continue having them cover for him. And that is the beauty of all of this!
They paddled their surfboards out to sea and rode the wave. Then they got thrown into the water. Now they want to paddle back to shore, to and Joe is like “naw... I ain’t going anywhere...get back here”.
“Anyway…”
He uses that as a typical “deflection” phrase. He loses track of where he is…anyways…
And the funny part is the Dems still want him “to make a decision.” No…they want him to make a DIFFERENT decision.
They forced us to live with this guy as president for three and a half years. They swept his mental and physical state under the rug. Called it cheap fakes.
And now, because they’re panicked, and want to throw him under the bus, and are only now first drawing attention to and scrutinizing what he’s been routinely doing for three and a half years, instead of ignoring it, it’s now too much for the country to endure?
Stiffen your upper lip! You’re hand wringing is playing right into their hands. You sound like the type that wore a mask to make Grandma feel at ease.
Would be interesting to know how many others (besides you and me) had the same instant reaction...
I listened to it yesterday, commented in the live thread. I’ll watch it this morning while working at my computer.
How would we know? Isn't that what the Depends are for?
nothing in what I said is “hand wringing” it’s simply an observation
A popular phrase is someone is “Sharp as a tack.” Bribem is sharp as a marble.
Thats what Brandon said.
I was a little puzzled by the 2000 jobs...thats 40 a state. Not really a flex!
