Another day, another example of the White House managing down to President Biden’s sagging capability for extemporaneous thought and speech. This example comes via the New York Post.
At a Wednesday press conference with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, a photographer captured Biden holding a cheat sheet that gave him the full text of a question he would be asked by Los Angeles Times reporter Courtney Subramanian:
“How are YOU squaring YOUR domestic priorities — like reshoring semiconductors manufacturing — with alliance-based foreign policy?”
To ensure he called on Subramanian, the cheat sheet also included her photograph. Even the sequence of questioning was choreographed, as the paper indicates she was assigned “Question #1.”
The all-caps YOU and YOUR echoes another pathetic cheat sheet captured last summer. Sounding as if the staffers were yelling at someone who’s slow-functioning and hard of hearing, it read, “YOU enter the Roosevelt Room and say hello to participants. YOU take YOUR seat…YOU give brief comments…YOU ask Liz Shuler, President, AFL-CIO a question.”
What’s more pathetic — the degree to which Biden’s handlers control the White House press corps, or the rarity with which presidential press conferences happen at all under this president? As the New York Times put it last week:
“In the 100 years since Calvin Coolidge took office, only Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan held as few news conferences each year as the current occupant of the Oval Office.”
This latest source of exasperation comes the same week it was reported that the Democratic National Committee will not conduct any primary debates, in what’s obviously another effort to keep Biden’s cognitive deficit from being showcased on national television. That sheltering is all the more urgent now that the sharp-tongued Robert F. Kennedy, Jr has announced his candidacy.
As you contemplate this oldest of US president’s declining faculties, it’s worth noting that a key theme of Biden’s meeting with the South Korean president was the threat of nuclear war.
If I’m the nominee I fully expect the regime media will do something similar to give him an edge before our debates.
Won’t matter.
I’ll even let him keep the earpiece if he wants & do a line at halftime. Nothing will save him. https://t.co/TyiANMchmk

Los Angeles Times “reporter” Courtney Subramanian…. Reporter? You mean stenographer?
Truly Chauncey Gardener.
“All you gotta be is white in America, to get whatever you want.” LOL It may not be true, but you can’t blame them for thinking it, sometimes.
It is not unlike how our animals reason. Sometimes I wish I had the power they think I have.
81 million votes…
Not sure which is worse – that he didn’t really get 81 million votes, or that he actually may have.
81 million bots.
I realize these reporters don’t want to rock the boat, lest they lose their jobs as narrative promulgators, but wouldn’t you think that every once in a while one of them would want to make a name for themselves by asking an unauthorized question, like
“Why’d you blow up the Nordstream pipeline?”
There’s at least a 5% chance that senile Biden would pull a Colonel Jessup in A Few Good Men and say “You’re goddamn right I did!”
They are disgusting degenerate perverted people.
Read the article ‘Truth To Power’ in today’s TBP … see where it got Jose Vega — and he was just confronting the NYT and the WaPo and the LATimes and Reuters executive editors …
Can’t even imagine his treatment if he tried that at a WhiteHouse event — what with the Secret Service and KJP in attendance …
He would probably say “Look… we just couldn’t allow a close alliance between Germany and Russia and so we hadda take it out.” Then, the little squigger would come out and clarify that he did NOT admit to the US role in the sabotage.
Vender in the WH pressroom:
“Programs! Get your programs! You can’t tell the players without a program!”
Joe appears to me to be 90% mentally gone.
My fathers decline into Alzheimer’s / dementia was sad, but very informative as to the progression and outward appearance to others. He went from trying to find words occasionally to babbling word salads, and eventually only mumbling.
Some things I learned.
Play some familiar music, and his eyes would light up and he would vigorously tap his feet. As he hardly slept, and would get up all night wander, wake us up etc, we had an assistant come over and spend the night awake with him the last 6 months or so of his life. Upon settling in for the night, She would always put on Take five, and grab his hand to dance, and even though he struggled walking by then, he danced all the fancy steps him and mother would always do. The muscle memory was amazing to witness.
His visual acuity was still there, we would watch sports, and he would have a running dialogue of the game play.
He also could read out loud almost flawlessly, almost all the way to the end.
I would bring him the wall street Journal daily, and have him read to me. If someone did not know his condition, I can guarantee he would pass as cognitively aware and alert while he was reading. He had zero recollection or retention of what he read. He would guffaw daily at the fact the Donald was prez. “Donald Trump?” “Donald Trump is president? When did that happen?”
Joe is not well.
That must of been very tough seeing your dad like that. Thank you for sharing a small slice of your life. I pray I don’t experience that.
Stop wasting valuable space and time analyzing an obvious puppet like all presidents. Let’s get to ideas on how to fix this shit.
And yet he still manages to fuck it up….go figure!
A “real” debate without the senile old fucktard demanding everyone kowtow to his inane responses?
I would vote for RFK, Jr. in the right scenario and I’ve NEVER voted Democrat.
