We haven’t seen Joe Biden for days. No wonder conspiracy theories are flying.
On Monday afternoon, Joe Biden’s doctor, Kevin O’Connor, composed a memo designed to reassure the American people. The president, who tested positive for Covid six days ago, has completed his tenth dose of Paxlovid, he wrote, and “his symptoms have almost completely resolved.” O’Connor reiterated that Biden “continues to perform all his presidential duties.”
After that letter was released, everyone here at The Free Press still had the same question: Where the hell is the president?
If Joe Biden’s decision to step down was extraordinary, so was the manner of his announcement. At this dramatic denouement of his fifty-year career in Washington, he declared the end of his reelection bid by tweeting out a letter. Since then, nothing. Or almost nothing. Late on Monday afternoon, he phoned his former campaign headquarters, now Kamala Harris HQ. “I know yesterday’s news was surprising and hard for you to hear, but it was the right thing to do,” Biden said on the call.
But we still haven’t seen the president in days.
Last Wednesday, Biden flew from Las Vegas, where he had been campaigning, to his beach house in Rehoboth, Delaware. It was there that he isolated and stewed, alongside only his immediate family and closest advisers, and reportedly came to the decision to step down. According to the White House daily schedule, the president will reemerge this afternoon and return to Washington.
Assuming that happens, the president’s disappearing act will be over, but it will have been a strange stretch in which Biden vanished at the most crucial moment.
Into the void left by the amazing disappearing president appeared all manner of theories about what is going on. Some wilder than others. Was the president faking his Covid? Did Biden even sign his own announcement? Is he much sicker than his aides and doctors are letting on? Is he even. . . alive?
For some in the legacy media, the proliferation of all these “conspiracy theories” is the real concern. The Daily Beast complained that Bill Ackman had “compared Biden to [a] ‘hostage’ in [a] conspiracy rant.” For poking fun at the missing president, Donald Trump was accused by New York magazine of having a “conspiracy-theory meltdown.”
But to me, at least, the surge in conspiracy theories isn’t as worrying as the fact we hadn’t seen the president in five whole days.
After all, if Biden isn’t well enough to face the American people, is he really well enough to “continue to perform all his presidential duties,” as his doctor claims? And with Biden isolating and Kamala booting up her own presidential campaign, who is actually running this country?
...MORE
Biden is returning to The White House today.
Damn it.
....(walks away).....(stops)....(turns around)..... Oh wait ...I just thought of one more thing.....(walks back)
So in 2024, if someone catches a cold or flu, they don’t need to isolate, but if it’s COVID they do? Because protocols?
I’ll bet you’re still rocking that chin mask ‘round your ‘hood!

If he is not seen stepping off marine one, the gig is up. Everyone know then that a coup has happened. This is not the movie Dave.
President Dip-Shit is due back at the White Hut at 1430.
What are the chances that NOBODY sees him arrive?
What are the chances that HE DOES NOT arrive?
This whole missing president thing has a similar vibe to that Kevin Kline movie, ‘ Dave’.
biden has something worse than COVID!
We’ll find out about it before the month is out.
Lord have mercy!
Doctor Vinnie Boombatz.
You’ll see him Wednesday night. Or if you miss him that much. He just walked up the airplane steps to return to DC.
No, actually I’m one of those people who uses hand sanitizer and stays away from people for days whenever I’m sick. I believe that resting for a couple of days and not trying to do anything is the best way to get better.
But in my line of work, I know of many instances where a bunch of people get sick, and if they don’t test positive for COVID, they DO come in for work when they’re still contagious, and they’ll say “don’t worry, it’s just a cold, it’s not COVID”.
But then another person who gets sick, and does test positive for COVID, will say “I have to isolate, (gasp!) I have COVID”, even though their symptoms are the same as a regular cold.
So when I saw you use the word “protocols”, I thought you might be one of them.
Lighten up, we’re here to have fun! Call me any names you like, and I won’t be offended. I have a thick skin.
The DemonicRat Matrix is glitching. Red pills for all.
CORRECT! They will then conjure up a "story", completely FALSE of course, that will be DESIGNED to PLAY on the SYMPATHY of the American voting public.
LOL.
