FLASHBACK: Biden allies say president is ‘sharp,’ special counsel criticism is ‘B.S.’
NBC News | Comcast ^ | February 11, 2024 | By Alexandra Marquez (D-NBC)

President Joe Biden’s allies on Sunday defended the commander in chief and blasted a special counsel report that questioned the president’s age and mental fitness as containing “gratuitous, unnecessary and inaccurate personal remarks.”

Mitch Landrieu, a former senior adviser to Biden who is now a national co-chair of his re-election campaign, told NBC News' “Meet the Press” that “this kind of sense that he’s not ready for this job is just a bucket of B.S. It’s so deep [that] your boots will get stuck under.”

Landrieu added that as a longtime adviser to Biden, he can testify to his mental acuity.

“I’ve been knowing him for 30 years. I have met with him personally. I’ve met with him with two people, five people, 10 people. I have been on trips with him, crisscrossing the country, rebuilding America based on this incredible infrastructure bill that was passed. And I’m telling you, this guy is tough. He’s smart. He’s on his game,” Landrieu said.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas offered a similar defense, calling Biden “sharp.”

“The most difficult part about a meeting with President Biden is preparing for it because he is sharp, intensely probing and detail-oriented and focused,” Mayorkas told “Meet the Press.”

When asked whether he or other members of the Cabinet have considered invoking the 25th Amendment, which would trigger a process for the Cabinet to remove and replace the president, Mayorkas said, “Not at all.”

Hmm.. If they straight up lied to us about this...

Could there be anything else they’d lie about?

Keep in mind that last night's performance was the product of eight days of rest and debate prep at Camp David.

Anyone who defends Biden’s “performance” last night should be laughed at FOREVER.

Typical DIM response: “Don’t believe your own lyin’ eyes! Believe us, because you can TRUST us.”

Nothing to see here. Move along, move along, OBEY!

I bet Biden is REALLY mad today about the debate and the coverage he's getting!

.

Nuclear briefcase

"Operation. If the U.S. president, who is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, decides to order the use of nuclear weapons, the briefcase would be opened. A command signal, or "watch" alert, would be issued to the United States Strategic Command and perhaps the Joint Chiefs of Staff."

I didn’t watch it, so I woke up this AM wondering what I was going to see.

It looks like it was a disaster for Biden, which is really what I expected. Trump was criticized for even agreeing to this debate forum, but I think he knew Biden was in such bad shape, he was just letting the world see it.

So the most important question for today is WHO IS ACTUALLY RUNNING THE COUNTRY?

Also, did Trump call him out for his lies about Hunter’s laptop in the first debate?

What about showering with his daughter?

is there a replay of this debate anywhere?
