Biden's News Conference: A Mix of Defiance and Missteps

[simon43]

To be honest (for the sake of the USA), the best thing that could happen is for Biden to fall down the steps (as he often does), and break his neck....

 

Harsh but true.

Anyone advocating for this guy to have another term are being inherently dishonest. The only conceivable reason would be some self interest or they want Trump to win. On the other hand maybe just plain dumb

An utter disaster.

 

Consider this- ALL the questions and ALL the reporters called on to ask them were pre-scripted and pre-selected. Biden literally had a list of who to call and in what order. This was not a press conference by any stretch of the imagination. It was a kabuki theatre farce masquerading as a press conference, a Potemkin conference as it were.

 

And even so, he dropped the ball.  Plus Jean-Pierre at the end rushing to end it early, before he fully face planted.  The only takeaway is that he won't step down without a fight. That must have a lot of senior democrats filling their diapers at this point.

Problem is what most Democrats want is an utter disaster and that wasn't it. But enough mistakes not to be one bit reassuring. The status quo which is sadly good for Republicans.

I no longer trust transcripts, especially the official ones.

 

Speaking of the MSM and carrying water for Biden, here's an interesting story from Washington Post columnist Megan McArdle:

 

“As a result, viewers of Fox News understood the president’s condition better than our (WaPo) audiences, which ought to be a huge wake-up call for us. 

 

Never thought I'd be reading that in a WaPo column.  Suck on that, MSM.

Is it possible that the water carrying Msm & the cultural Marxist of the biden cult , can be exposed at the same time, as both being a threat to

Democracy?

I'm watching it in uncurated snippets. 

 

Eventually, I'll get through it all, but I take breaks when I get that sour taste that tells me I'm going to puke in my mouth.

I feel sorry for current WH Chief of Staff Jeff Zients because he has got to be thinking "what can I do?". Joe looked a little more "there" when Ron Klain was Chief of Staff.  Everytime he gets that bug eyed stare at something in the distance look I get the feeling he want to go to sleep or is on the verge of a stroke.  No guarantee he is upright with a pulse until November.   I just hope the military officer who carries the "football" (nunclear launch codes) checks with Sec Def Austin in case Biden orders a strke on Rwanda instead of Russia.

In his time, he was one of the greats. He has accomplished more in a short amount of time than most. It's just time for him to go.

The way I see it is there are 2 choices Biden or trump for me it is a no brainer it’s Biden  you guys can catcall till the cows come home I don’t care I listened to what Biden had to say he answered well obviously he’s experienced I’ve also seen the results he’s achieved in 3.5 years it’s a no brainer.even if he kicked the bucket we would be just fine.yes I do see trump as a threat so do most of the people who worked with him during his (administration) if the choice changes fine it would most likely be Harris as to not lose the incumbent advantage fine with me ether way I will not vote for trump

[Skeptic7]

Much as I like Ol' Joe...his time has expired. He did his job and now he needs to do the right thing and bow out. Any combo of other Dems will easily beat the lying, cheating, abusive, abrasive, felonious, bloviating, insurrectionist con-artist and thief.

Twitter and YouTube are blocked here.  Can someone confirm (or deny) this quote and then unpack it?  If it's accurate, Biden seems to claim he chose Kamala because she was not qualified...

 

“I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be Vice President if I didn’t think she was not qualified to be president,” Biden said after a reporter asked him about Kamala Harris being at the top of the ticket.

I still contend she was chosen as insurance against impeachment.  In which case, that would have been an accurate (and accidentally profound) statement, if you can overlook calling her VP Trump...

Cultural Marxists?Do you even know what that is?Do you know anything about the history of Marxism?

Only what you hear on the brain shrinking F(ox/ascist) network. Getting dumber by the day. 

[john donson]

he recently on a CNN interview claimed he was the first BLACK FEMALE vice president

 

and he invented nAto ... how old was he in 1949 ?

[thecyclist]

There is a strong streak of stubbornness in the Biden clan.Jill even more than Joe. After 50 years in politics/power stepping down is tantamount to croaking. 

His Catholic faith doesn't seem to be of any help here. Buddhism and its emphasis on letting go would be more helpful.

I dont know what it is lol ,but i know just a few components to it , Culture & DEI.I unlike you ,can read  in between the lines .

I dont watch Fox news .

Try this left wing site below , look at the election s in France & Uk and please keep telling yourself , getting dumber by the day!

Communism, Socialism , Marxism

 

This is a significant cultural and ideological revolution, one that has been accomplished with almost no debate or operationalization of terminology. Who originated DEI?

In its most radical forms, DEI is derivative of neo-Marxist identitarian ideologies that attribute virtually all average group differences .

Throwing around terms you don't understand, and accusing other folks of being "guilty " of what you don't have a clue about. True genius.

Please stay Joe. It's comedy gold.

Joe is doing a great job. It's the fourth quarter of the superbowl. You are down by 4 and there is enough time to execute two plays. Inexplicably the coach leaves Tom Brady on the bench. Calls a running play to wind the clock down to near zero and sets Joe up to kick the losing field goal for the final play of the game. 

 

The longer Joe stays the older he gets. Tick tock, tick tock.

It is a pattern, according to the New York Times;

 

A close look at more than two dozen radio and podcast interviews given by Mr. Biden over the past two years reveals a distinct pattern: In appearance after appearance, the president has been served up nearly identical questions, prescreened or suggested ahead of time by campaign staff members. And in nearly every case, the questions set the president up to deliver on-message talking points, without notable flubs.
