President Joe Biden has blamed his poor debate performance last week on jet lag, telling reporters that he "wasn't very smart" for "travelling around the world a couple of times" before the debate.

"I didn’t listen to my staff... and then I nearly fell asleep on stage,” he said.

Mr Biden, 81, last returned from travel on 15 June, nearly two weeks ahead of the 27 June debate.

Mr Biden's remarks come amid intra-party panic ahead of November's election over his mental fitness,

Now he has morphed from the cold to jet lag. How many more excuses will we see?

Inside Biden’s Camp David Debate Prep Crest [Not Satire?]
NYT ^ | Tue, June 25, 2024 at 7:39 AM EDT | Katie Rogers
Posted on 6/25/2024, 7:08:19 PM by conservative98

WASHINGTON — At Camp David, a movie theater and an airplane hangar have been outfitted with lights and production equipment to create a mock debate stage. At least 16 current and former aides, summoned from Washington and Wilmington, Delaware, whiz back and forth on golf carts to join President Joe Biden in strategy sessions.

Biden is entering his fifth day of preparations at the presidential retreat in the woods of northern Maryland for Thursday’s debate against Donald Trump. Camp David has become the epicenter for an administration and campaign effort to help Biden shake off the rust that often comes with being an incumbent on the defense, and combat widespread voter concerns that he is too old to be an effective president

Ok. Fine. Stay right where you are and keep doing what you’ve been doing for almost 4 years. When is the next debate?

After visiting Waffle House that night and doing the NC rally the next day it was time to pivot from having a cold.

Two flippin’ weeks and still not recovered from jet lag? And on a plane that has a full-sized bed? And a cold - so he went to Waffle House after the debate to hug, shake hands, and sniff a bunch of people at 2 in the morning?

These people are pissing on your head and telling you it’s raining.

Those solar flares could have affected Biden.

And climate change.

It just wasn’t Joe’s fault any more than the millions of convicts and mental patients crossing the border or selfish corporations making prices cause inflation.

It’s just not fair./S
