WASHINGTON — Who’s in charge here, again?
First lady Jill Biden did most of the talking Friday at the public portion of what may be President Biden’s last Cabinet meeting — before showing the cast of “The West Wing” around the Oval Office and hosting a Rose Garden event without her husband.
“The work is hard and the days are long. And yes, there are times when the weight of all we have before us can just feel too heavy to carry,” Jill, 73, said in the Rose Garden from a podium presidents usually occupy.
“But that’s where the heart lies, where the future is created, side-by-side with our family of true believers,” she said at the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the NBC series.
The first lady spoke alongside actor Martin Sheen, who played President Jed Bartlet, and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, who extolled Joe Biden — who had already decamped for home in Delaware — for ending his re-election campaign amid a Democratic mutiny over his apparent cognitive decline.
Hours earlier, Jill dominated her husband’s first Cabinet meeting since October 2023 — taking over after brief introductory remarks by the sitting president, who spent much of his two-minute intro speaking about her.
**SNIP**
“We’re grateful that Jill is here today — I heard that clapping, it wasn’t for me,” he went on. “Across previous administrations, first ladies have attended these meetings for specific reasons. This is the first time Jill has joined us, and it goes to show how important the issue is, which she is about to speak to.”
“It’s all yours, kid,” the 46th president signed off.

Democracy seems to change every day. Almost fluid.
Biden is disgusting.
He ought to resign now and let Kamala become president. But that would not benefit Kamala as she tries and tries to distance herself from the disastrous White House policies.
This is the abomination and dementia and treason that the Demonicrats have crapped on the United States.
We need to teach our children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren what these Demonicrats have done so that, in the future, they will spit on the graves of the traitorous Demonicrats.
So, now he is literally “phoning it in,” with a fake “doctor” who hasn’t been elected dog-catcher filling in.
Unbelievable.
The huge scandal is the media covered for him,
But not a peep about how wrong that was.
Who is the guy in the picture on the wall with a cameltoe?
Not surprised you don’t know who George Washington is.
I was trying to be funny. Too distracted by his weird cameltoe. LOL.

Hear, hear. They covered up Biden's dementia until the debate, when it became impossible. I still wonder what their plan for that was. They probably hoped Trump would chicken out. Fortunately he did not.
He even had his own cokehead son, just like a real president.
Just look at that room of filthy coup plotters. The place must smell like hell.
Those bastards very likely got in that bunker to plan a grand final October surprise to unleash on America, considering they have failed numerous times to assassinate Trump.
Where is Claus von Stauffenberg when you need him? /spit
Hey, Jill, get out of Melania’s house!
She thinks US taxpayers owe her a good time
She has no conscience, no shame.
“It’s a democrat thing. We wouldn’t understand.” When Woodrow Wilson suffered a stroke in his second term, his wife took over his duties — in violation of the Constitution. Where are the radical libs with “their” 25th Amendment zeal they had when they claimed Trump was insane?
Oh, by the way, the Soviets put labor organizers into psych wards and “neuralized” them chemically since to their thinking anyone who wanted a labor union in the “worker’s paradise” must be insane. (thanks to Eugene Lyons in WORKER’S PARADISE LOST)
A codpiece would blow your mind!
Is there some kind of congressional rule or law that states that the wife of a president can take over duties of president if the husband isn’t capable of doing so?
I think there was a president in the past who was I capacitance and his wife did the same- but can’t remember who now, but isn’t there a rule agaisnt it?
Woodrow Wilson.
