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.

Harris might want to keep a sharp eye on her plane and watch for the old “spark in the fuel tank” ploy.

Biden dismissed images of falling bodies from planes: “That was four days ago, five days ago!” he said in the ABC News interview (two days after the incident occurred).


Goes without saying that Trump would have been impeached AND removed for doing that.

Speculation. Are we about to see Joe’s departure? It would be well before midterm elections. Is now the perfect time?

That depends entirely on what you call perfect.

If it can be so arranged that whoever is president is ousted on Jan 21, 2023, his or her successor could serve out the remaining 2 years less one day and still be eligible for two full terms.

Dominion will insure that they win.

Think of it as The Glorious Pelosi Decade...

“Harris might want to keep a sharp eye on her plane . . .”

Indeed, “going down” may have a new meaning for her next time.

Well, if Milley represents the new thinking of the Anti-Trumpers in the military, Biden/Harris may well have a ‘situation’ to deal with, regarding our military.

If Dog-Face has lost Miley we may be near breaking point.

I think anti-Trump is turning to anti-Biden, at a minimum.

Supposedly (i.e. ‘word has it’) that he’s being jacked up with massive doses of adderall when he has to appear in public for more than 10 mintues. When he’s not in public, he’s sleeping 12 hours a day. The adderall makes sense - see info below:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Does Adderall usage cause extreme pupil dilation?
https://www.drugs.com/answers/adderrall-usage-extreme-pupil-dilation-793437.html

Yes, pupil dilation is a common side effect of Adderall, although it is usually only temporary. If your pupils are extremely dilated all the time, you may be taking too much Adderall, and you should talk to your doctor about this.

Our pupils are the black centers of our eyes and they typically constrict (get smaller) in response to bright light and dilate (get larger) in response to dull or no light. Trauma, medications, and certain medical conditions can cause an abnormal pupil response.

Adderall is a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine which are both central nervous system stimulants. Part of their effect is stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, and the release of noradrenaline and adrenaline, which activates the “flight or fight” response. This causes effects such as pupil dilation, increased sweating, increased heart rate, and increased blood pressure.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=

From Wikipedia:
Adderall is used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It is also used as an athletic performance enhancer, cognitive enhancer, appetite suppressant, and recreationally as an aphrodisiac and euphoriant. It is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant of the phenethylamine class.[1]

Thanks for your insight. I have not spent time with anyone who has dementia or alzheimer’s, but Biden seems functional to me, albeit not as clear as he used to be. He was never a smart man and it comes through now more than ever.

Our republic has been overthrown. Who the hell knows who is actually in charge.

This all may be a prelude to a foreign attack while we are at our weakest (or should I say "Wokist"?).

However, Joe has had two brain surgeries, so...

Chunks of his frontal lobes removed both times.

The phrase that comes to mind is 'any idiot with half a brain could do this...'

My mom is headed that way. I’ve promised her that we will do all we can to keep her out of a nursing home, but it’s looking inevitable as Alzheimer’s slowly steals her, and daily degrades our ability to adapt.

Biden is at or just over the limit of the world’s best medical care to make him presentable.

The difference in the MSM is, they have friends (or at least what the call friends, which is professional associates) stuck in countries who just witnessed Biden giving the signal to Iran to grab up Americans by the thousands. Hezbollah in Lebanon. Perhaps even the TTP in Pakistan.

I hope Biden is watching the news. He’s not used to them criticizing him. He’s used to them kissing his ass.

After World War II the Japan government decided that one of the worst things to happen in the war was that the emperors sycophants never gave him bad news.

I wonder if it’s the same for slow Joe.

“I think he went home to Delaware and will not return. His last interview was a catastrophe, making him the butt of countless memes and worse. A vain man fears ridicule most of all, and I suspect he has had enough.”

I do NOT think that Joe is calling ANY shots here ( I LOVE how I managed to sneak THAT clever comment in ! ) .. . DOCTOR Jill will tell Joe when he’s had enough. I’m sure she LOVES being First Lady. AND .. . WHO would buy a Hunter Biden “painting” if his daddy wasn’t president any more ?? Joe does NOT feel ANY shame. He’s been the BUTT of countless jokes his ENTIRE career ! Joe’s “HANDLERS” are in charge, running the country. So WHO are they ? - I’m SURE they have NO intention in relinquishing their POWER .. .
I saw a screen shot yesterday of the teleprompter used in Joe’s latest press conference - at the conclusion of his remarks it shows the highlighted text, “LEAVE PODIUM.” The brain-addled president of the US NEEDS a, “Post-It” note to remind him NOT to take ANY questions at the end of his speech !!! WHO wrote THAT line ?? .. . What’s NEXT ?? “You are on LIVE Television - Do NOT CRAP your pants !!”
Joe remaining the president is the hill they will choose to die on .. . KamelToe Harris WAS “Plan B,” but she has demonstrated that THIS option is NOT tenable .. . it is starting to look like Nancy is next up for the presidency .. .

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

Not a bad take.

Here's mine:

Biden is no longer president (steps down? 25th amendment? stroke? assassination?) and Harris becomes president.
Pelosi blocks approval of whoever Harris appoints as VP.
Harris is removed (steps down? not Constitutionally qualified, non NBC? assassination?) and Madam Speaker of the House seizes the presidency.

Interesting times ahead...

The swampers still hate Trump more than Biden. Guaranteed.

Thanks for the info. I'm not a health care professional but I've stated many times here I've worked in nursing homes and hospital emergency rooms.

You're taught, as per the law, certain things about caring for the elderly and if you do some research or ask questions of the professionals you learn a lot. From everything I've seen in Biden he is literally
a crumbling wreck of a man.
Adderall would certainly be given to him when he needs to appear cognizant and I'm sure Xanax at other times to deal with his sudden temper outbursts.

There's a brief moment in the interview where Biden suddenly snaps at Little Georgie when asked about the video of Afghans falling from that C-17. Where a younger , more cognizant person would have offered a calm, solemn “Yes, well that was tragic’’,
Biden suddenly snaps in anger.
To me that was very telling. In his condition those kind of things are going to become more frequent and uncontrollable.

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

No question. The next person in the line of succession if the president is removed, and congress has failed to approve a new Vice President, is the speaker of the house.

At the moment, the speaker of the house has the power to block approval of a new VP,

...and an absolutely astonishing lust for power.

A perfect situation to start the Trump Rally tonight. Comparisons will be made.

There’s nothing wrong with Biden. He is exactly what he’s been for a long time, and anyone with half a brain knew it. He’s been a corrupt imbecile for his entire adult life. Now he’s also broken down and senile on top of all that.

You are correct.
