Biden at his press conference: See, I’m up to the job
Politico ^ | 7/11/24 | Jonathan Lemire, Myah Ward

Posted on 07/12/2024 4:39:04 AM PDT by Libloather

President Joe Biden, his reelection bid imperiled by his own party, defiantly declared Thursday in a press conference-turned-referendum on his candidacy that he is still the “best person” to defeat Donald Trump.

In his first solo news conference since November — and with Washington on edge — the 81-year-old Biden forcefully dismissed multiple questions about fellow Democrats declaring that he was no longer up for the rigors of the campaign and should abandon his reelection bid.

“If I slow down and can’t get the job done, that’s a sign I shouldn’t be doing it,” he said, “but there’s no indication of that yet, none.”

“I’m just going to keep moving,” added Biden, saying it’s “not unusual” for lawmakers to worry about the top of the ticket, but there’s “a long way to go in the campaign.”

Yet the press conference served as a reminder that the scrutiny Biden is facing from all corners over his ability to continue on is likely to be unending. And in a slip-up symbolic of what fellow Democrats worry about, he accidentally misidentified his vice president in the opening minutes of the press conference.

“I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president,” he said.

Stay the course Brandon. Do not waver. Your whole future is right there to grasp and hold on to. Just think of the grandkids. You put food in their table no matter how many there are. Take any bribes from Hunter - they'll be handy later, And having movements is alway important. Stay in the game and fight. You can do this. Let's go Brandon.

Biden with his dementia has finally figured out of a way to get some attention. Bidens dementia has sucked all the oxygen out of the room and it is nothing but Biden, Biden, Biden all day every day.

His entire presidency Biden has been upstaged by Trump, and all it took was dementia to get the attention shifted back to him.

LMAO

Big Boy press conference. Painful to watch. Five minutes of lowlights.

Bidet is no longer up to the rigors of getting off the stage by himself.

I missed the show last night, WOW, and what a show I missed.

The only thing that crashed and burned worse than Biden was the Hindenburg.

Being up to the job means a lot more than being able to deliver a speech coherently. It also means being able to run a nation efficiently & this is where Joe Biden has really fallen down terribly. We have almost 4 yrs. of proof on this.

Big Boys aren’t handed a list of press people to call on for soft questions. Big Boys don’t avoid questions from the number one cable news network. Biden isn’t a big boy, he’s a BIG BABY.

The word forcefully has no business being used to describe anything Biden does. He looks like a deer in the headlights when he's on camera. He introduced Zelensky as Putin and Trump as his vice president. He also called the head of NATO a wigger. Joe is cooked.

“but there’s no indication of that yet, none.”

He’s so demented he even believes that!

Stay in the race, Biden, have more press conferences, debate with Trump, maybe even accept Trump’s golf challenge.

Go ahead: Show us how competent, capable and compos mentis you really are.

Telling his staff to REDUCE his work load:

What kind of work load did Pearl Harbor Create???

What kind of work load did Bombing of Hiroshima create???

What kind of work load did The CUBAN MISSLE CRISIS create???

What kind of work load did 9-11 create???

What kind of work load did the bombing of barracks at Beirut create?

What kind of work load did Benghazi create???

What kind of work load SHOULD the OCT 7 attack on ISRAEL have created???

THIS MAN is lost in his own words.
