Something Is Wrong with the President
National Review ^ | August 19, 2021 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 08/19/2021 12:17:25 PM PDT by billorites

On the menu today: The transcript of President Joe Biden’s interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos dropped, and the president’s incoherence, insistence that he was incorrectly briefed, denial that he was warned by his military advisers, and oddly low profile in the past week raise troubling questions about his ability to perform his duties.

What’s Going On with President Biden?

After making no public appearances for four days — during a major foreign crisis — President Biden read a 20-minute speech off a teleprompter on Monday afternoon and took no questions. He immediately returned to Camp David. He had no events on his schedule Tuesday. On Wednesday, he gave another 20-minute speech about vaccine boosters off a teleprompter from Camp David, and again took no questions. Also on Wednesday, the president sat for an on-camera interview with George Stephanopoulos that did not go well. According to the White House public records, Biden has had two phone conversations with foreign leaders in the past ten days — one with Boris Johnson and one with Angela Merkel.

As of this writing, Biden has no public events on his schedule for today. He is scheduled to receive the president’s daily briefing from the intelligence community and meet with his national-security team. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, he is scheduled to return to his house in Delaware today.

This is a highly unusual schedule for a president during a foreign-policy crisis. Yes, a president can perform his job anywhere, whether it’s Camp David or his own private residence. But Biden is barely appearing in public, not saying much of anything when he does, not answering any questions outside of his lone scheduled interview, and sounding angry when he did face questions from Stephanopoulos.

Biden began the interview by insisting that the intelligence community

I must be a freaking psychic as I could have written this article 40 years ago. Biden’s problem is that he’s a moron.

If it were anyone else I would say he was ashamed; but that can’t be possible as he has no shame.

I read the whole thing—he sounds like a senile fool—which is exactly what he was a year ago...

So what is the point...

BIDEN: Look, I don’t think it was a fa– look, it was a simple choice, George. When the– when the Taliban — let me back — put it another way. When you had the government of Afghanistan, the leader of that government get in a plane and taking off and going to another country, when you saw the significant collapse of the ta– of the– Afghan troops we had trained — up to 300,000 of them just leaving their equipment and taking off, that was — you know, I’m not– this — that — that’s what happened. That’s simply what happened.

It reads like a google translation from another language....................

It took the clowns at National Review this long to realize this?

Good Lord.

Get me a senior in high school that has been raised by Conservative parents with some good common sense and they could do a better job than about 95% of the folks in the Conservative media and in most of government, from the most local to the federal.

Probably wrote that because, far too often, folks pop-off without having read the entire story (guilty). Did you maybe even think to ask why he/she posted that before you went to full-on snark?

Never go full-on snark.

Bingo. Actually, there is nothing wrong with the walking cadaver. After all, what can a cadaver be held to account for? Nothing, the cadaver is dead. Reminds me of the story of a pope exhumed and put on trial.

Democrats are incapable of shame because they blame someone or something else for literally everything that goes wrong, they’re incapable of introspection and self blame.

That actually describes every liberal I’ve ever had the displeasure to debate with too.

It’s been fairly easy for the handlers up til now. Collapse in Afghanistan has kind of shown the usurper has no clothes and makes things a tad more difficult for them.

He’s in hiding after carrying out his end of the bargain with the taliban/chicoms. He has done what he promised. The taliban has taken over Afghanistan, and will send a few hundred thousand “refugees” to the USA who will be housed and fed, and allowed to go to mosques to learn all about that mostly peaceful religion of planes/buildings.

The timing of this is 1 proof. The other is that joe went on vacation and then went into hiding and is doing nothing but denial.

This is NOT due to his dementia/bumbling/ineptness. This is a conscious act, every step of the way.

Not a screwup! comprende muchacho?
