Biden's Unannounced Nighttime Speech an Absolute DISASTER
PJ Media ^ | 8 Feb 2024 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 02/08/2024 7:12:41 PM PST by Rummyfan

President Joe Biden took to the microphone for an unannounced address on Thursday night, following the release of the politically devastating Special Counsel report that said he "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen." While the report stated that such actions "present serious risks to national security,” Biden will not face charges because he presents himself as an “elderly man with a poor memory” and it would be difficult to convince a jury he is guilty of a serious felony because to commit such a crime “requires a mental state of willfulness.” The report elaborated by pointing out he couldn’t even remember when he was vice president and didn’t even remember when his son Beau died.

The address was scheduled for 7:45 p.m. but did not actually get underway until around 8 — well past his usual 7 p.m. bedtime.

I can't explain how or why Biden's handlers felt it was a good idea to trot him out at night to talk about the special counsel report, but it did not go well. He was belligerent and defensive, and it was a terrible look. When he addressed the report claiming that he couldn't remember when his son died, it really got bad.

"How in the hell dare he raise that," Biden said angrily, concluding that it is "none of their damn business."

"For any extraneous commentary, they don't know what they're talking about," Biden insisted, even though the report presented direct quotes. "It has no place in this report."

Biden also blamed his staff for storing classified documents in his home, office, and garage, insisting, "I take responsibility for not having seen exactly what my staff would do!"

I remember the first thing they told us at Communications Security School…..

“Whether you did it intentionally or not, if you give away our nation’s secrets, you will be thrown into prison.”

Unless you are a Democrat like Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden.

Exactly right. Also, even in his declined mental state, he has not changed from what he always was—an arrogant, mean-spirited and angry narcissist, showing no empathy for others, and never taking responsibility for his own actions. If what someone said here is right and he is in the last stages of dementia, then he needs to repent before God while there is time.

Biden has anger that he thinks is a sign of strength.


That is a very good point b/c his entire political career has been an act.

He embellishes political situations w/ acting techniques.

He gets to look good and get votes.

Watch him closely......there is nothing authentic about Joe Biden.

My father has a PhD and doesn’t insist on being called Dr.

I still crack up when I remember Whoopie Goldberg fawning over DOCTOR Jill Biden and wanting her to be the Surgeon General.

Liberals are low IQ, ‘everyone gets a trophy’ stupid.

PERFECT timing on this quote!!!

Wasn’t it reported a week ago that Joey would finally visit East Palestine Ohio, only ONE YEAR LATE. Best part is, someone quipped WOULD JOEY DRINK THE WATER?

Like Ripper said, Commies don’t drink water!!!

Was this presser done intentionally to demonstrate the findings that he is mentally incompetent and can’t be prosecuted?

"I take responsibility for not having seen exactly what my staff would do!"

Not just plausible deniability, an admittance of utter incompetence and reason for impeachment & removal.

Or the 25th Amendment. Either one works for me.

He’s not q doddering old fool. He’s a criminal. So is the special counsel. Just not buying it.

How is the SC qualified to make that determination? Is he a doctor too?

“What I don’t understand, is why Jill let him do this on Thursday”

Maybe everyone allowed it on purpose. Notice how much they’re allowing him to speak publicly? They want to show voters why they’re pulling him out the race, even if he doesn’t want to leave.

“I’m thinking 2-3 weeks and he’s gone.”

I wonder if she will cackle during the oath of office...

Or Jilly becomes the Edith Wilson of the 21st century. Which might be preferable... it’s a bad scenario all the way around.

I’m no fan of Jill, but watching my parents go thru one of them having dementia, it was denial until the very later stages, that there was anything significantly wrong. Little memory lapses or other issues were viewed as “normal” for older people.
I have to say that his grandchildren & other relatives & friends should be (and maybe have been) expressing their concerns.

I suspect this appearance was at Biden’s own insistence. He is so determined to hide his decline, and thinks indignant shouting will impress his detractors. Throw in some irrelevant drivel, and you got yourself a president.

lol I doubt he was cogent even then, that man is dumb as a box of rocks and that is quite a slur against boxes of rocks

What I find fascinating is the “bad memory”… argument is exactly what 25th was meant for.

Looks like the plan is matching forward

Who is you guess to take his place, I guess it could be camel toe, if they can get ole joe “elected “ who’s to say they can’t “her”
