What's Wrong With Joe? Biden Calls a Lid on Public Appearances—Indefinitely
PJ Media ^ | August 19,2021 | Bryan Preston

Posted on 08/20/2021 3:02:45 AM PDT by tatown

Joe Biden went on vacation to Camp David just before Afghanistan fell to the Taliban and gave no public remarks on the matter until more than 24 hours after the fall of Kabul. That was a speech Biden delivered from the White House Monday, after which he took no questions from the media.

He went silent again, then delivered another speech on Wednesday, this time on COVID. He took no media questions after the conclusion of this address. He sat for an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos Wednesday. That interview has caused yet more problems. Biden’s performance in it has been seen as heartless and incoherent.

Fox News reports that Biden has effectively called a lid, this time indefinitely.

Even Obama isn’t as stupid as Joe. Joe’s fingerprints are all over Afghanistan.

Biden has a 1PM press conference today to talk about the status of the evacuation of Americans and our Afghani allies. We will see if he answers any questions from the media.

Agreed, with one exception. I do not believe he is senile. I do believe he is somewhat mentally diminished due to his brain surgeries, but does he have one of the clinical types of senility? If he does, he is in the early stages.

Compare current Biden with 2016 & 2012 Biden…he is clearly not the same. He was able to speak and now cannot….this is not due to surgery.

My mother has full-blown Alzheimers and is in a nursing home. Biden’s difficulty with numbers mirrors my mother’s degradation. If you have spent time with someone who is afflicted, you recognize the signs. IMO Biden is already at the moderate stage of dementia.

If Harris takes over at the same time the Arizona audit is released, and it shows massive fraud, we will be in a very dangerous time. A universally unliked substitute president will have to defend herself against a popular pretender with a better claim than she has.

You've probably already read this one but maybe some others haven't.. I think it's been a connivance from the very beginning..

Here is my flier bet:

Biden steps down and Harris becomes president.
Harris appoints Clinton as VP.
Harris steps down and Hillary takes the presidency.

Odds: 1/100
Bet with your head and not above it

The White House press corps is the lifeblood of the media. Without it, they’re just a beat reporting local newspaper. In view of that, what’s most amazing is that they don’t seem to push back at all. At some point, they’ll demand screen time. Until then, the Biden administration will continue to keep him cloistered.

Biden has more lids than Parkay Margarine.

Are you sure that is a description of the symptoms of dementia, or of demonkkkrap politicians, news media, teachers and professors?

“Another coup?”

My speculation. Unless she’s replaced first, it’s difficult to see how they could allow her to run a superpower.

The real question is who comes next - Nancy? Mitch?, a general? Hopefully not a ‘woke’ general.

Interestingly, the same people who tried to take Trump down over Afghanistan just took Biden off at the knees.

The warmongers in State and DOD did not want to withdraw. They made that abundantly clear ever since Trump started the process.

The military was perfectly capable of conducting a much more orderly withdrawal than has actually happened.

The withdrawal and the crisis created by the withdrawal are two different things. I think the crisis is a set piece play orchestrated by the military (except that real people die and don’t get to come out after act III to applause) to destroy any president who takes their war away.

“...status of the evacuation of Americans and our Afghani allies....”

Sounds like he’ll be making a public service announcement that would be expected to be delivered by the irresponsible fed agency director. The obozo back-roomers are doing this because (1) it is still safe now (given his diminished physical and mental capacities) for Xiden to recite “facts”; (2) he’ll take no questions, and (3) to achieve the real objective - be able to claim Xiden never hid out during the “crisis”. They want to get Afghan out of the news spin asap. If Xiden stays hidden, that will prolong their agony for screwing up on a massive scale.

PS - Looks like they have temporarily dropped the “blame Trump” approach as even half informed people weren’t buying it.

Nothing will happen to Joe unless Jill is in on it. Or she will be taken out, too.

I hear he’s supposed to mumble a few words about Afghanistan this afternoon, 1 PM Eastern...
He’s degenerating to the point where the burden of an occasional 10 minutes of trying to seem coherent is knocking him out.

The corrupt butt kissing press covered Biden’s dementia... they hated Trump and his supporters so much they gave us a man who could get us all killed.
