Politico Remarkably Incurious Why Biden Keeps Hiding, Putting Off Press, Calling 'Lid' Days
Newsbusters ^ | September 13, 2020 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 09/13/2020 2:03:56 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

Imagine a presidential candidate taking an absurdly large number of days off right when the post-Labor Day campaign kicks off? Would that not be big news? Well, you don't have to imagine this strange scenario very hard because it is actually happening.

The Joe Biden campaign announced that last Tuesday, the first day after Labor Day, would be a 'lid" day meaning Biden would not only not be campaigning but he wouldn't be taking any questions from reporters.

This was followed by another day off the campaign trail on Thursday for Biden which is not to be confused by his Saturday 'lid" day which will be repeated on Sunday and, as of this writing, will be continued on Monday. The next campaign stop for Biden on the record is an appearance at an as yet unknown location in Florida on Tuesday.

Even more bizarre than all these "lid" day non-events for Biden when his campaign should already be in high gear is the remarkable lack of curiosity displayed by Politico, which is supposed to be devoted to in-depth political coverage, about Biden's strange absence from the campaign trail. It's easy to suspect that the Biden press corps is willing to help drag Joe across the finish line, lobbing "shamefully embarrassing" softballs at press events and raising no objections to hiding from the press (and the voters).

Politico is hoping you don't notice that just about every day is a lid day for Biden punctuated by infrequent brief appearances outside his cocoon.

To paraphrase Hillary:

“A lid...like, a coffin lid?”

I had plenty of lid days back in the early 80s.

'Course, back then, a lid went for about 20 bucks. I can't imagine what they're going for today. Nor do I want to know.

The detestable puke is running ads about healthcare and trying to leverage Beau Biden’s cancer.

He's only campaigned in 4 states........if you want to call visiting peoples homes campaigning. It's going to be interesting how he gets out of debating...I suspect he'll have a medical emmergency requiring hospital time. His wife should be brought up on charges of elder abuse.

The man has no shame.

Hoping Trump will talk about how sad it is for Biden to take advantage of Beau’s death like this.

He comes up with some doozies. Whatever lame excuse his handlers come up with for getting him out of the debates, I'm sure it will be President Dr. Trump's fault.

Unfortunately, I'm guessing it will be some major domestic distubrance he must attend to.

Seeing as how he no longer has the power to orchestrate major foreign disturbances.

'Course, that's not so say there aren't foreign influences he's beholden to that don't have such power.

In 2016 the media got caught covering up Hillary’s health.
They learned their lesson...
This time they won’t caught!

Simple: if Biden never goes out then no will see his frailty.

“A lid...like, a coffin lid?”

A lid...like what Pedo-Joe smokes while binge watching ‘Cuties’.

Hillary basically did the same thing. Look at her calendar for back then.

Then all of a sudden, in the last month, Obama, Michelle and half of Hollywood was having events for her.

When she was in hiding, she was having private events to raise money...and I believe he is doing the same thing "virtually" which explains the heavy income in the last filing.

Of 43 men who have served as president, 20% of them became president through the death or resignation of the president.

Without even mentioning any physical irregularities, since there is a significant stastical chance that Harris will someday be POTUS (if this election is somehow stolen), it will be legitimate to treat Harris as a debate target and to attribute her views as being that of Biden and vice-versa.

Lid day? Are they storing Biden in a Tupperware container to try and keep him fresh?

Where did this lid day reference come from?

Is it in regards to Hidin Biden taking the day off to smoke a lid of marijuana?
