It's Happening Already: Joe Biden Calls a Lid Four Days Into Presidency
PJ Media ^ | JANUARY 24, 2021 | MATT MARGOLIS

Posted on 01/24/2021 10:18:04 AM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

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.

Sundowning — confusion gets worse as the day comes to a close in dementia patients. God help us if there is a national emergency at night.

Don’t know— but an interesting tidbit has come out of Vegas.

The betting line payout on the vote/inauguration of the President... that payout will not be occurring until March the 5th.

Think what that means. No one has paid out on biden, for one.

Toward the end - when Reagan was falling deep into Alzheimer's Republicans surrounded him and protected his reputation.

Saturday Night Live did a skit at the time with Reagan pretending to be ditzy - then when reporters left the room/stage he was "IQ 170 and totally in charge".

It was funny. But it was also at the end of Reagan's Presidency - not at the beginning. The situation with Biden is sad. Sad for the country too. Luckily for Biden, the press has thrown away their integrity - they'll lie for him. They'll lie for the commies too.

You are correct. I forgot that the SOTU can even be recorded. How many takes will Biden’s movie crew need before they get it just right. It will be phony like all of his campaign ads.

That explains why he sent HIS WIFE out to give the freezing NG soldiers cookies. He was too exhausted, he needed a diaper change and a long nap.

Yes, however new Presidents generally make an address to Congress in lieu of “State of the Union”...but I’m sure they will find an excuse not to
