Joe Biden’s campaigning from his basement and frequent lids, where Biden was kept away from the media, were a common punchline in conservative media. “How can Joe run a campaign from his basement and hiding from the media?” “How can he be trusted to run the country if he can’t handle a campaign?”
Even when he did leave the basement he got questions about milkshakes. There were times when Joe Biden wouldn’t be seen for days. His campaign told us that it was because of debate prep, but no one actually believed it.
But the campaign is over now. Regardless of whether you believe Biden was legitimately elected, he has the job he applied for, the job we were told repeatedly by his campaign he was fit to handle. So it’s more than a bit concerning that on Saturday, a mere four days into his presidency, Kelly O’Donnell, the White House correspondent for NBC News, reported that the White House had called a lid, and Biden would not be seen in public for the rest of the day.
The White House calls a "lid" on the first Saturday of this administration so we will not see President Biden for any public event the rest of the day.

This isn’t even funny anymore. It never actually was funny, but now it’s far more serious. Biden and his campaign assured the country he was perfectly fit and able to handle the duties of president, and yet Biden is already being hidden from the media four days into the job.
When President Trump got COVID-19, he didn’t let that stop him from running the country, even as Biden called another lid.

Wow, we’d go from a dementia patient to a skank, and then back to a dementia patient, this time with chronic alcoholism. And I thought the Roman emperors were bad.

So, right now, 25% of his days in the office are rest/sleep days.
This is probably very good performance for him.
Until that time, it is now more important than ever to reside in predominantly conservative locales.
I’m getting nervous about my pick. I think you may be right and it happens way sooner.
I’m starting to get the feeling that everybody has pretty much accepted that Joe was installed, and that they got him in there by cheating, and what’s him getting sick all of a sudden and installing HeelsUp isn’t that big a stretch considering.
Where have you been? LID is short for see you tomorrow.
“His appearances in the movie newsreels of the day were probably staged so as to not show that he couldn’t walk.”
FDR’s polio didn’t hamper his ability to be an effective President. I don’t think the same can be said for Joe Biden’s situation.
I don’t like Biden as a politician and from what he has revealed of his personality, I don’t think I’d like him much as a person. I can’t blame him for his mental decline and I’m sorry it’s happening to him. I blame his family, the democrat party that ran him, the press that shielded him, and the 10s of millions of voters who voted for him because they really believed that somehow Trump = Hitler.
Our nation is going to likely experience a real crisis when his decline can no longer be concealed. Have no idea what Harris will try to do as President. But I’ll bet there are a lot of high muckity mucks in the democrat party that have no use for her. It won’t be like Johnson taking over from a ‘beloved JFK’ who was snatched from us so young. Do you really think Pelosi and Schumer are going to dance to Harris’s tune?
Joey, can’t even spell the word WORK, let alone what the word means.
He accomplished NOTHING in Washington for 47 years...why try now at 78 + years old...
“The RNC, McConnell and McCarthy pick Romney, Murkowski, or Collins to deliver the five minute pandering statement talking about the new spirit of bipartisanship in Washington and how much they are looking forward to working with the Biden Administration. Not one word about Trump.”
How about they pick Trump or Ivanka to deliver the rebuttal.
I can “Dream the Impossible Dream” can’t I?
"Oh, you were finished ....Well then, allow me to retort?"
This is so Soviet Union, the government (with a lapdog media in tow) keeping people in the dark about what is going on with their ruler.
Any one see any executive orders on the registry?
I put this to GOGGLE, and I got this!
Worth a peek!
There is no Constitutional requirement for a SOTU address. The Constitution requires the President to, “from time to time deliver information” to the Congress about the state of the Union. For many years it was just a written message. I for one think we would be better of if we returned to that tradition.
That sounds about right.
Correction... Obiden is being hidden BY the media.!
Yes!!
“Medications have side effects and for an elderly person this is a considerable risk. Biden will have another stroke at some point.
While that will be bad for the nation I have to confess I hope he does have one.”
Yes, he’s had two strokes. He’s a sick man. In body and mind and have NO sympathy for him or his family. None what so ever.
