Biden news conference thread -- 6:30 pm

[DDE-6-20-23]

@zeke4ahs , Biden is crushing it! Powerful, forceful, clear. Come back and celebrate with me!

Shit, "Vice President Trump." Damn it.

The man needs help. I'm not laughing. He honestly needs Kamala to finish this out and ride off. If he was any younger I would say go after him full force for a damn long list of things, but IMO he is incapable of understanding it. Good Lord make the move. At least he hung on this long. Kamala can't do that much damage in a few months can she?

I will be full force brutal to her though she has no f*cking business whatsoever holding the office of VP. Be prepared for that she is without excuse.

 

[BradStevens]

An eye booger just crashed his hard drive

Yeah, he's slowing noticeably.

 

[mcmurtry66]

Filling out his scorecard before he hits the ball 🤣🤣. Great line

 

[orangecoast]

"border Crossings are now lower than when Trump left office". Does he realize it's July and he took office in January? It's 110 degrees down there.

 

[mcmurtry66]

Yeah, he's slowing noticeably.

He’s still better unscripted. They should leave him be. F it

 

[Joe_Hoopsier]

I'd find him hilarious if he weren't putting the entire world at risk...

He might be able to do stand up as "The Accidental Comedian" in retirement...

Whispering Joe has gone off on a rif on world trade and mixes up Europe with Asia... 🙄

Back when I brought food stamps to the people who live on Mars….

 

[UncleMark]

Just tuned in. Saying his European colleagues are scared to death of Trump being reelected.

Only when the drugs have kicked in (hence the delay) and he still is a walking gaffe even with them...

There's clearly a sweet spot (for the drugs) right around the 52-65 minute mark... Should be interesting to see if they leave him out there long enough for them to start to wear off...

Every farmer that’s ever been a farmer..

Knows what to do when the finally see it.

You just have to keep rebooting him. Like an old computer

[BradStevens]

His inability to remember if another head of state said something to him in private or publicly, and then saying "oh I'll just say it to the world, he won't mind" is a little disconcerting.

Not that Trump wouldn't also do the same thing, of course, if he found it politically beneficial.

 

[Ty Webb iu]

I've mostly leaned towards thinking that Biden will survive as the Democratic nominee.

But I'm leaning the other way today. When a candidate has paid campaign officials anonymously telling NBC News that there's no path for him to win and that he should drop out of the race, then the Fat Lady isn't just warming up, she's already into the first few bars of “The Queen of the Night."

What took you so long. This was evident LONG ago.

For sure. Run Harris. Or run Biden and in a year Harris takes over. Same shit -ish

 

[Ty Webb iu]

His Botox migrated impacting his speech.

This is all so dumb. We could have Desantis. Shapiro. People in their prime

Get on board with Trump. He’s much better than all dems.

 

[mcmurtry66]

No one cares soy boy..

It’s annoying bc he’s neither clever nor funny. A goofy gadfly

 

[BradStevens]

Unless he's completely made something up re Sweden and Finland, or revealed something he shouldn't have, so far, I think this performance is good for him in terms of staying in the race. But it ain't over yet . . .

 

[mcmurtry66]

I’m voting trump for sure anyway. I won’t forget the first year progressive agenda. I’m like an elephant. My exes think my complaints are over. They’re not

He’s better off being left alone. Over-coaching is to his detriment

Eternal pessimist I see.

I'm not seeing anything bad after having tuned in some 15 minutes ago.

 

[UncleMark]

He needs to just answer the questions and quit rambling and digressing.

 

[BradStevens]

He's on point, sir. Never been sharper. Best he's ever been.

You tuned in when the drugs began working... He's getting stronger from the 52 minute mark...

They ought to share the makeup of that drug cocktail with the public..., might be the one thing this outfit has done that could actually help someone...

 

[BradStevens]

Did he just take a shot at Obama's policy in Afghanistan?

 

[UncleMark]

Good answer on Gaza and Israel.

 

[BradStevens]

Christ. Just say "I won the nomination. I'm not stepping down. I can do the job and am going to beat Trump. Next question."

 

[Harry Hondo]

Good answer on Gaza and Israel.

This is about consistency. He’s 81 and given his current state he will never regain consistency. That’s the issue.

Yeah the constant “and by the way” or “anyway” is like he’s buffering

 

[mcmurtry66]

He’s gone

 

[BradStevens]

He’s gone

 

[mcmurtry66]

🤣 He’s like a rambling old coot telling stories

 

[UncleMark]

Maddow says he displays a "masterful" grasp of the issues at hand, but undermines himself with his ineffectual and rambling and circular presentation. I think that's fair. He may be effective, but he'll never be inspiring.

 

[mcmurtry66]

Alright. I’ve got an 8:00 game. Maintain the peace here

 

[BradStevens]

Masterful? Cmon? He gave relevant answers. They were mostly fluff personal stories trying to portray himself as the best guy out there, with a kernel of an idea. Two state solution. Nato-ize Finland. But no deep analysis. No "masterful" command of the issue that he was communicating.

To be fair, few presidents do communicate masterful grasp of many issues. Trump can't do it in an answer.

Doddering is the operative term for this bowl of pudding…

Masterful was her word, and yes it is hyperbole, but she was right about him knowing the subjects at hand while having a really shitty presentation.

 

[Marvin the Martian]

I get the need to continue a narrative on everything he says. But it dawned on me today we are blowing this out of proportion. I do not recall at any point him saying he loves soccer, the surefire way to know if someone's brain is gone.
