President Biden holds his first official news conference since taking office.

I’m totally lost with all of his rambling. I can’t even remember the question after all of that.
He said Guatemala and then, apparently trying to correct himself, mumbled "Guadalupe." I distinctly heard "Guadalupe," which is the name of a religious site in Mexico.
I think he got confused about the name of the Central American countries of Guatemala and Honduras.
like watching the puppet on Tales From the Crypt but the Cryptkeeper has dementia now
He admires the way China and Russia do things.
Unbelievable.
Emerald Robinson, Newsmax: was in the pressroom but not called. She said the questions were not softball but closer to T-ball.
“we are going to invest in diabetes? Cancer?”!
nice Pink Floyd reference!
If so, I didn’t notice it then. This seems to be an escalating thing lately. He looks completely different - almost as if he’s frightened, which I hadn’t noticed before.
Let’s not insult Kevin Yagher’s charming and witty Crypt Keeper puppet.
He knew the questions in advance and they were prescreened. He had a teleprompter and ear piece prompting him for the answers. But yet he still went off. That explains why the conference abruptly ended, his handlers told him to cut it off.
I’ve been getting Lucentis injections and a half dozen pellet implants into one of my eyes since Feb. 2012. They were 1-2 months apart until last year when Dr. has finally spaced them 4 months apart.
Needles do not scare me anymore.
I don’t doubt there was one but I didn’t see an earpiece.
Joe Concha just killed it with his analysis on FOX, lambasted the inept press.
Politics is at least as cut-throat as industry and business, but in this case, "the system" wants a potted plant as POTUS anyway. Better if the act looks like an independent leader, all the "how government works " lies have POTUS as a single point of control and so on. That's not how things really work, and that's why Trump had to be removed.
Biden is sufficient as a modern POTUS. The system works whether it is literally a potted plant as when it is an ego who is fed what results in the answer the people really in charge want.
Disney wouldn’t have to make a Biden robot for the Hall of Presidents. If Biden is still doing okay enough, in a few years they could hire him to be himself in the Hall of Presidents. People might complain that the Biden was especially robot-like, but Disney would not have to pay for an expensive robot that says nothing, and it would be a good post-presidency gig for Biden. He might not even think he left office, although even he might find it strange that JFK and FDR and Lincoln are walking around.
Newsmax: This was a checkmark news conference. I did it and I’ll see you in a few months.
***********************************
Exactly. And reporters and questions arranged in advance. And reading from a teleprompter. Still ... surreal.
And yet, he rose to the occasion, mustering just enough cognition to make no huge blunders and to allow the media to cover for him — especially since practically no one was watching. The news media will all declare this a huge success.
Mark today as the high water mark of this Presidency. There is so much stuff hitting the fan even now; his poll numbers (never very good) are dropping; our adversaries around the world are not at all fooled and will take advantage; and the American people, even the left, have a reasonable sense of what’s going on. This buys Biden a few days, perhaps even 2-3 weeks. But he and his Administration are on borrowed time.
You can’t always see them these days. Some can fit entirely in the ear canal.
FOX, the number one cable news station in America, was given no questions, pitiful. Tells me they are afraid.
“Language please.”
Sounded like English to me...
