Speaking to reporters Wednesday, the president falsely claimed that Russia is at war with Iraq. Russia is at war with Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is “clearly losing the war in Iraq,” Biden told the press pool, “losing the war at home. And he has become a bit of a pariah around the world.”

On Tuesday, during an unrelated fundraising event in Chevy Chase, Md., Biden had made the exact same slip-up, mistaking Ukraine for Iraq.

“If anybody told you … that we’d be able to bring all of Europe together in the onslaught on Iraq and get NATO to be completely united,” the president said, “I think they would have told you it’s not likely.”

Although many journalists did a fine job this week highlighting the president’s apparent confusion regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, one can’t help but feel as if the news industry as a whole is avoiding the obvious follow-up question. Namely, “Is Biden okay?”

 

FULL STORY

He's clearly suffering from some sort of disorder - it brings the whole presidency into question. 

 

He's not the person in charge, not a chance. 

Biden might not be OK but he beats the alternative.

There's that conspiracy theory again.

It's as clear as day. You only have to watch him lose his thread whenever he's speaking off script. It's a shame he's suffering but he's not the man in charge. 

 

Put me back on ignore anyway, I preferred it that way.

The only single alternative is the Vice President, what's wrong with her?

He’s always been a gaff machine and he is so very much better than any of the republican alternatives hands down

Better than Tim Scott? Nikki Haley? Vivek Ramaswamy? Chris Christie? In what way?

 

There is a difference between being a gaffe machine and actually having cognitive issues.  Not knowing where his son died is not a simple gaffe. Nor is mistaking Iraq and Ukraine. Nor is being unable to have any kind of press conference. 

Sneak him out to the Walter Reid Memorial Hospital in the middle of the night, administer the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test and never admit why.

 

It’s the done thing.

With the exception of Chris Christie the rest are piddling themselves in abject terror of offending trump who betrayed America that disqualifies them in my humble opinion so you have Christie left the guy who engineered a major traffic jam in an attempt to hurt his opponent that right there disqualifies him in my opinion but I do appreciate his principles for calling out trump for what he is.as you very well know hunter Biden’s death is most likely related to exposure to burn pits in IRAQ got it?im sure a grieving father and president knows EXACTLY we’re his son died he was there with him as he died that horrible death I sincerely hope you can understand that,that’s a spurious slure at best really low imo.

Hes got a lot on his mind since the House majority changed hands!imop

Looks as if Joe himself is active in this thread.

 

Apart from that gaffe, is most likely the new word for evidence?

Would that be the Irish PM? (what with Biden being about as Irish as a Chinaman)

Reagan was in even worse shape, but when anything critical of him was said the response was a sympathetic "hey, don't pick on the old man!"  Once he was re-elected they kept him away from reporters unless he was duly prepped and prompted.  One time when he became aware of it he did say "I'm not a potted plant president!"  No one said that he was, but since he brought it up . . .

 

A troll post with trolling references to Trump has been removed.

Nonsense. Reagan was in far better "shape" than Biden in all respects.

In what way? There's this little thing called issues. You know like climate change, voting rights, workers rights, etc. Something you've apparently never heard of.

Thank you for taking the time to answer. Could you possibly be a bit more general?

Are you seriously claiming that you don't see significant differences on the issues between Joe Biden and the persons you mentioned? Really? It is to laugh.

If you want to take up the mantle and explain why Biden is better on the issues you presented than any/all of them, feel free.

For example, Vivek wants to economically decouple from China as fast as possible and find other places to buy their stuff. At the same time, encourage Russia to do the same. End the Ukraine war by providing security guarantees to Russia (Ukraine not joining NATO for example). Use the US military to eliminate the Mexican drug cartels that are flooding the US with fentanyl and other poisons. 

 

For a start. All things that Biden will not or cannot do.

It's not about better. It's about different. That you even raise this issue shows that fundamentally you agree with me. Their stances on various issues are different. I like to think that most people choose candidates because their stances on the issues are different and they think that one candidate or the other has a better stance.

Once again you prove my point. The stance that people take on issues is what counts.
