Asked Wednesday how he is preparing for today's presser, Biden responded, 'What press conference?'
American Thinker ^ | 03/25/2021 | Thomas Lifson

The common assumption on the right is that Joe Biden has been endlessly rehearsing answers to questions that will be asked by friendly reporters when President Biden holds his first-ever presidential press conference.  But his response to a question shouted out to him yesterday raises a couple of alternative possibilities to consider.

According to Peter Doocy, the White House correspondent for Fox News, "[s]omebody shouted out to Biden 'how are you getting ready for your press conference' and he said: 'What press conference?'"

Watch as Doocy stated so:

I trust Doocy's account completely.  He has quickly distinguished himself in the briefings conducted by Jen Psaki with his tenacious and informed questioning.  His position as White House correspondent is a huge leap forward in his career, and he would be a fool to blow it by making up something like this.

Here are the two possible interpretations of this presidential response, in order of their likelihood, in my opinion.

Biden is so out of it, so in the throes of dementia (which is an on-again, off-again phenomenon) that he forgot his schedule for today and all the preparation that he has done for it.  After all, on the campaign trail, he did not know what state he was in a few times.  If, as many suspect, he will be juiced up on some pharmaceuticals during the press conference (as many of us hypothesized he was during the presidential debates), yesterday he was in a down phase of activity and medication, so as to have maximum effect today.

The face of a confused old man. I shutter to think of the amount of medications required to keep him at least marginally lucid for the short periods of time he is made available to the press.

You “shutter”? Are you a Nikon or Canon?

What are the odds that Doocy doesn’t get called to ask a question today?

When I saw the title, I was expecting to find an article from the Babylon Bee.

Blaming it on auto fill and posting on a phone while not wearing glasses, but you knew what I meant anyway.

He doesn’t have to prepare. They already have footage of him at a podium. All they have to do is dub the words and lip sync.

There is software today that is so sophisticated that it can make Mikail Gorbachev appear to be reciting the Gettysburg Address. Piece of cake to use it to make it look like the old decrepit geezer is saying coherent things. A brain-dead public will believe it.

Of course they are going to do it! The criminal organization that falsified the election results would not hesitate one moment to create a fake speech by their man.

I want this senile gasbag to hold up today's paper during the "presser".

Very true. I have no doubt the White House staff is working with Steven Spielberg on these appearances - especially since that huge fail with Biden and the helicopter

While I think Biden clearly suffers from dementia in this case he was clearly joking.

The thing about Biden, he's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at you he doesn't seem to be livin'... until he sniffs you, and those black eyes roll over white.

Oh, dear God.

The only mystery here is who is really leading this country and making his decisions for him

I confess that I will be watching the presser and hoping for a train wreck. But I strongly suspect that the same magic that made Biden perform acceptably in the presidential debates will be at work. Some combination of chemical and electronic wizardry will have him seeming to listen to and answer questions in a semi-credible fashion. The bar is set very, very low, after all, and his media claque will hail it no matter how sketchy it is.

If not, the pieces are in place for a transition to President Harris.


Heels-Up will wheel him to the presser

He’s been studying up on the top 10 issues for a week. The WH press corp are basically partisan idiots, there will be no creative or difficult questions. Once he speaks and it’s over the corrupt mdia will hail him as brilliant.

Believe me, his #1, #2 and #3 most coached items are to NOT ad lib.

Third option: something will come up to cancel it if he is having a bad day.

Setting: Biden and Harris are in a restaurant, ordering dinner.

Harris: I’d like to order a steak, medium rare please.

Waitress: And the vegetable?

Harris: Oh, he’ll have chicken nuggets.
