…. While the presidential plane waited to leave Geneva, President Biden took questions from reporters who were pressing him on what he had achieved during the Putin meeting.

"To be a journalist you have to have a negative world view, it seems," Biden said, chiding reporters for "never" asking a positive question.

Pushed over whether or not he accomplished anything, he responds "we will see".

Most bizarre ending to a “press conference” I’ve ever seen.

11 minutes of teleprompter, 11 minutes of note cards. And 2 minutes of dementia.

Biden get’s cushy softballs on a tee while Trump dodged arrows and slings. And still, he whines about it. As a lifetime politician, he should easily be able to artfully give a lengthy response without answering the question, or like Obama, just lie. Trump gave them the truth, and they hated it.

He better hope they don’t start questioning him like they did Trump. He will have a heart attack.

Propping up Biden is a chore. Propping up the MSM is never going to happen. There is no credibility left.
