If President Joe Biden‘s goal in tonight’s press conference were to avoid being outed from office through the 25th Amendment, he would have succeeded. But in trying to save his campaign, he utterly failed.
Biden clearly showed he is not completely non compos mentis. In general, he is aware of what is going on, and when he isn’t in a bad spell, he can essentially keep track of policy. What he did not come close to doing, though, is to convince anybody with half a brain that he will be up for the job for four more years.
Biden looked and sounded old. Biden rambled a lot, even if not entirely insensibly. He committed yet another howler of a mistake by referring to Vice President Kamala Harris as “Trump” on the same day that he referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as “Putin.” He repeatedly did that weird and unsettling thing where he suddenly lowers his voice sometimes almost to a whisper, for effect, but rather randomly, without any real reason to do so. He almost never speaks distinctly, showing that even on a comparatively “good” night for him, he still garbles words, runs words together, and repeats phrases in odd ways.
Biden barely reassured watchers that he has the vigor expected of the leader of the free world for the next six months. There is no imaginable way that he can still be doing so in 2027 or 2028 — or, frankly, even by this time next year.
It is utterly irresponsible to ask the country to elect him to serve until January 2029. Again, this is not about whether he can kinda-sorta-semi-manage the presidency now. This is about grappling with China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, terrorist Islamists, and others when he is 85 instead of 81.
A doddering old man cannot project even reasonable strength, much less power. But a president who cannot project power leaves 330 million people at risk, not to mention perhaps billions more around a world that could become far more unstable if the president is weak and ineffective.
Biden is acting like a selfish man refusing to accept reality or put country above self. He ought to withdraw with dignity before he is shoved aside like frayed, torn old furniture.

“Biden is acting like a selfish man refusing to accept reality or put country above self.”
This is precisely like the situation many face when Grandpa isn’t capable of driving anymore, but refuses to admit or accept it.
It’s time to simply take his keys away, period.
“Biden is acting like a selfish man refusing to accept reality or put country above self.”
Exactly like 90% of the critters in the U.S. Capitol, every single day. They continually vote to feather their own nests and to hell with their constituents.
Sorry, my spelling is atrocious early in the morning.
“vidorous=vigorous”
Joe’s vidorous has long ago gone limp.
In self abdignation I say: that word is used a lot but nobody knows what it means:

“The dem powerholders are just letting him hold on long enough for it to be too late for Trump to mount a successful campaign against a replacement. Watch.”
100% agree with that statement.
He's stubborn as a demented old man and refuses to realize the reality of his cognitive decline. Obama et al are shoving, but so far Biden has been able to push back equally. The battle royale continues, all good for Trump.
Biden is just a reflection of the Dem/Commie party.
Yes...a coup took place when the pervert was installed.
With the way he was fake coughing at the beginning of the scripted event I thought he might be pulling a “Dave”(from the movie with Kevin Kline - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106673/) and be a body double getting ready to take the dive so the real Biden could be in the hospital, dying.
If you listen to drive time radio, they’re all out there saying Biden is holding his own in the polls. Most of the news readers at these radio stations are leftist and pull their news straight off AP, Reuters, etc.
Well, to some degree (some!) “Vice President Trump” can be “explained” as a slip of the tongue. But being clueless about weapons production is just gross incompetence, by a whole bunch of top level people.
Well said. Much needed to be said
Stirring endorsement there, Quin. "Sure, that zombie's right arm just fell off, but lucky for us he's left-handed." I feel much better now.
Good observation.
Who in heck could Demonicrats put in for election who could beat Trump? Only one I think would think they’ve got a chance to beat Trump would be Big Mike (Mrs Obamanation).
Very disturbing where we are as a nation
2024 can still be a year like 1968—where the unthinkable became thinkable and the impossible became possible.
