Joe Biden’s latest gaffe plays right into Republicans’ hands

[Scott]

President Joe Biden once called himself a “gaffe machine” – and his latest slip-up is a whopper.

Speaking at the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health on Wednesday, Biden tried to acknowledge the presence of Rep. Jackie Walorski – despite the fact that the Indiana Republican had died in a car accident in early August.

“Jackie, are you here? Where’s Jackie?

Biden is the only one that messed up, as usual and everyone knows this as it has become Biden trademark behavior and normal now. Nothing to see here, except a sick old man making a fool of himself. Should not be allowed to continue.

 

"When CNN’s Phil Mattingly pressed Jean-Pierre about why the President was looking for the deceased congresswoman at the conference, the press secretary said, “I don’t think it’s all that unusual to have someone top of mind, especially as there’s a big event.”
She denied that the President was confused or that there was something mistakenly on the teleprompter

Video excerpts
REPORTER: "The confusing part is why, if she and the family is top of mind, does the president think that she's living and in the room?"
KJP: "I don't find that confusing."
R: "I have John Lennon top of mind just about every day but I'm not looking around for him anywhere."

 

Biden made a statement of Walorski's passing August 3, and totally forgot.

For months we’ve had the rightwing Biden haters telling us he reads everything off a teleprompter.

 

That of course is an exaggeration on their part, but be assured he does not write his own speeches without input from advisors.

 

He was was clearly given badly researched briefing notes.

 

Don’t get me wrong, it plays right into the hands of the rightwing fabricated outrage, but it’s not something I’ll spit my Covfefe over.

Please, the excuses are getting thinner and thinner. There was a memorial service for the deceased member at the SAME event just moments before the President made his remarks. And still he couldnt remember.  

 

This is a deeply disturbing sign that is beyond a mere "gaffe". Forgetting that people are dead is one of the sure signs of Alzheimer's.  This has nothing to do with faulty notes or bad research.  A member of congress dying tragically a month before is something that should not require notes.  The President asking, "isnt she supposed to be here" is a sign that this is no mere "oops".

Ex president Trump was and he still continues his lies today, nearly 2 years after he lost the popular vote and the college vote.

There are more than one sign to determine Alzheimer. Just the occasional gaffe is certainly not the determinant. Not need to worry. He still solving problem, making difficult decision and his mood doesn’t sway.  Old person forget sometimes.

I take on board all that you have said, however every time he commits one of these gaffes, and this one was particularly grim, it can cause people to doubt the ability of their leader and indeed the state of the Democrats.

 

I don't believe this can continue if the country is to have faith in its leader and the more gaffes he delivers, the worse this will become, so for the sake of the US, and indeed the rest of the world, something has to be done, as the thought of the dumb orange liar reclaiming the "throne" is truly frightening.

I think most people know that Biden has a long history of gaffes and even blunders even as Vice President. However those missteps rarely impacted his ability to perform. I think this is important as he has done quite well in major issues. But I do agree with you that he is now the President and his gaffes are now viewed more by the general public and will hurt his image.

He gaffed, end of story.

 

Nobody is responsible except Biden.

Actually there is no excuse possible for the POTUS to be making silly mistakes. He is supposed to be the leader of the free world, and IS in charge of the US nuclear arsenal, never mind supposed to be running the federal government.

Ordinary Joe Bloggs is allowed to have senior moments, the POTUS, not at all. If he isn't up to the job, he should resign.

Imagine a CEO of a fortune 500 company losing it like that- they'd probably be gone right smartish,

But for the off topic anti Trump bit at the end I'd have given that post a thumbs up.

This is no longer a partisan issue, but the safety of the free world at stake, IMO.

What is troublesome is that he hasn't yet said ( to my knowledge ) that he won't be standing in '24.

If he does, hopefully he'll lose at the primaries.

[Hanaguma]

It is so obvious that Biden is acting, well, old. He IS old and it shows. Decreasing mobility, awkward gait, frequent outbursts, and yes forgetting important events.   

 

BOTH parties need to clear out the dinosaurs and bring in younger people. Pelosi, McConnell, Schumer, Clinton, Trump, Feinstein, all need to be given a not-so-gentle shove out the door.

That's exactly what needs to be done, but US ( and not just the US ) politics has become so toxic that the problem is finding someone competent that would tolerate the media abuse to become POTUS.

The media storm against Trump will have put off many a potential starter, and IMO any that loves their family will just not do it for the family's sake.

Kennedy was given a pass by the media for his womanising, but I can't see that ever happening again, and these days anything is dug up from the past to hammer candidates. Only have to look at prince Harry and the storm his fancy dress from many years ago caused to know one has to be pure as driven snow, but no one is.

[Screaming]

I think it's obvious to both parties that Biden is cognitively impaired. I also wonder about his side kick Harris. Some of her word salad makes absolutely no sense. Next in line is Pelosi. What horrible alternatives. It is no wonder Putin has taken the gamble to take over Ukraine.

Biden Hits Republicans, Drug Companies in Healthcare Speech
WASHINGTON -- President Biden struck an unusually combative tone on Tuesday during a speech about healthcare costs, criticizing Republicans for trimming a bill to lower insulin costs and for wanting to sunset federal laws every 5 years, something he suggested could endanger Medicare and Social Security.
"If you're on Medicare and you have diabetes, the cost of insulin will be capped at $35 a month per prescription," Biden said during a speech in the White House Rose Garden. He was referring to one of the provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act recently passed by Congress.

 

And much more...................

Trump is in a world of trouble legally, apart from the current investigation, and if anybody believes that it does not hurt his chances of re election, then they are definitely a hard core Trump supporter.

nah, he's in a world of control including the GOP, the powerful MAGA movement. There is nothing on the books including J6, the MAL records dispute that will slow Trump down. His popularity is growing stronger day by day.

The deep state are getting run over by MAGA momentum. November midterms is the beginning of the end for bidenites and the laughable party they have.

Exclusive poll: Anti-Trump voters would pay over $5,000 to guarantee he doesn’t run

A strong majority of voters don’t want to see either Joe Biden or Donald Trump run for president again in 2024, but they’re willing to pay more to keep Trump off the ballot, according to a new Deseret News/HarrisX national poll. 

When asked whether they want Biden to run for president again, 66% of voters said he should not run, compared to only 58% of voters who don’t want Trump on the ballot. But the voters who don’t want Trump to run are willing to pay more to keep him off the ballot — a measure of how strong voters’ feelings are about the former president.

Only 35% of Voters Believe Donald Trump Should Be Eligible to Serve as President Again: Poll

A new poll seems to show waning support for former President Donald Trump's political future, with more than 50% of respondents saying he should be barred from serving as president again down the road.

The poll — conducted by Yahoo News/YouGov shortly after New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a new lawsuit against the Trump family — asked nearly 1,600 registered voters whether the former president should "be allowed to serve as president again in the future," given "what we know about the ongoing investigations."

Fifty-one percent of respondents said that in light of his legal troubles, he should not be allowed to serve as president again.

On the other hand 35% think he should be eligible

 

Two-thirds of independents say they don't want Trump to run for president

Former President Donald Trump continues to heavily suggest he will run for president in 2024, but a new poll out from NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist shows voters in the middle overwhelmingly don't want him to give it another go.

Sixty-seven percent of independents said they do not want Trump to run again, while just 28% said they do. In 2020, Trump lost independents and lost the election.

bidens gaffs just bring more votes home for GOP The problem is that when he's replaced after midterms the replacement is as stupid or worse, be sure to reference Kamalas recent gaff reference to NK!

You need a leader that is not cognitively impaired to FIX bidens destruction and address foreign affairs with results that benefit America. Trump did this, and gained respect worldwide! Biden is laughed at worldwide as is kamala!

Great legacy here, of incompetence and total humiliation for America!

Pelosi is only in line in the sense that IF Biden and Harris BOTH died. Highly unlikely. 

There are several democratic contenders other than Harris ready to run if Biden doesn't run.

Yes, but Harris will tear the Democratic Party apart in her lust for the top job.  She is the epitome of entitlement and I guarantee she would put up a massive fight.  The internal dynamics would tear the Democratic Party apart. She is obviously incompetent and shallow and not terribly bright, yet.... she is a woman and BIPOC.  God forbid that a white man dares to run against her.
