This sounds like the message he ran on, but not much like what his Party has been up to lately.

It seems to me that Biden got elected by offering to be not much more than the absence of Trump, but his Party seems to behave as if the people elected Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren (and won both houses of Congress with a comfortable margin). 

As long as I'm in the President's Twitter feed, I wanted to show you the vivid bodycon dress Dr. Jill wore:

Buyer's remorse?

rcocean said...

Vivid? More like tacky. If Melannie or Laura had worn a dress like that at a G20, you'd get snickers and snide articles in the WaPo/NYT. But maybe you can wear a dress like that when you're real President.

Wince said...

"My plans..." as opposed to his actions?

cf said...

I had not heard the term "bodycon" until now. I've got to hand it to Jill for the double reveal: She does have a shapely body for an old lady and she is proving every day that she is running a Con.

anything else that pits Americans against one another. They are about competitiveness, expanding opportunity, and leading the world.
----------
Professora : some Americans chose to pit themselves against others.
Trump was also about competitiveness, expanding opportunity, and leading the world.

why do you say that is an absence of Trump? : It seems to me that Biden got elected by offering to be not much more than the absence of Trump,

What's emanating from your penumbra said...

It's not just that his party has acted contrary to his supposed campaign message of unity. Joe has done that. And people who have followed his career shouldn't be surprised. He has always been a bully. Bullies are the opposite of unifying. And he's the same Joe that he's ever been.

And Jill's dress might explain the who and the why behind a senile old grandpa larping as POTUS. But gosh she does look marvelous, so it may be worth it.

Masscon said...

Yes, and it was bullshit then and even more aggressive bullshit now as anyone can see the lie.

Mark said...

This sounds like the message he ran on, but not much like what his Party has been up to lately.

The Biden communications office, starring Jen Psaki, is nothing but a bald-faced lying propaganda machine.

"Jill wants the respect that comes with being a doctor of education, but both of us realize that she's really just a tart."

wendybar said...

Rumors are floating around the world about Joe Biden's "accident" in the Vatican. Somebody send in some Depends!! Jill is an elder abuser for pushing him to do this Fraudulent job that he really didn't win.

Critter said...

Biden’s presidency is The Big Lie. Earmarks of a counterintelligence operation. He is a virtual marionette. We see the strings but they have carefully hidden the hands controlling them but it is increasingly clear it has been the Obama administration losers combined with the Sanders socialists. Who else would act so anti-democratically by not pursuing policies Biden ran on but policies Democrat voters rejected in the primaries? The most anti-American regime ever.

Achilles said...

The international news media is tearing Joe Biden apart.

He is talking to himself, wandering off alone, dumping word salads on the most servile and basic questions.

Everyone in the world is laughing at the US and at Democrats. Americans are seeing this crap.

Only the dumbest of idiots or most corrupt amoral shitheads is still proud to be a democrat right now.

He is destroying the democrat party.

There are reports that Biden wet his pants at one of the events.

Shiny, hot pink -- what's not to like?

Baceseras said...

Bodycon? Is that a word?

FleetUSA said...

Yes,exactly I've been thinking the same. Who gave the keys to the Administration to Warren/Sanders? They don't represent anything to do with mainstream America.

Achilles said...

Yay, our president just pissed himself in public.

Democrats are just terrible people.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

Yes our debilitated POTUS proves once more that Twitter is a distorted reflection of real life, useful to no one.

Achilles said...

What's even better than our president pissing himself in public on a foreign junket?

It is the utter incompetence of the people in the 85 car motorcade spewing a city's worth of CO2 into the air at a global warming conference that didn't even think to put a diaper on the stupid puppet.

Owen said...

Jill’s dress symbolizes Biden’s reign. Sleazy superficiality struggling to conceal a sagging infertile mess.

Frank said...

The woman playing the role of Edith Wilson needs to look fit.

Biff said...

The Mattarellas and Draghis sure look like they're enjoying themselves.

Charlie Eklund said...

So, “bodycon” now makes it 2 words I had to look up this morning. The other, from a different blog, was “perdurable.” Thanks for your role in the expansion of my vocabulary today, Althouse!

Nothing like understated elegance for the good doctor. She got noticed…wasn’t that the point???

The other subjects in the photo look like they can't wait to get away from old Joe and the tart. That or Joe just cut the cheese, or worse!!

How about some links, please?

Australian PM just said Biden is lying wrt the French sub deal.

Biden can't even figure out when to lie and when to tell the Truth.

Mark said...

Um....just to let you know -- they had the keys to the Trump Administration too. They are called the Deep State. And their infestation is everywhere.

Nancy said...

That dress on Jill Biden is awful! Compare Melania's sky blue outfit at the inauguration.

Biden is the Potemkin face behind which the far left Bernie Sanders party rules and ruins the country. The monster spending and taxing bill under consideration (trying to get enough votes from brain dead Democrats) will put the country into a recession that may be a bad one, like 2008, and for the same reasons.

Bob Boyd said...

I wanted to show you the vivid bodycon dress Dr. Jill wore

More evidence we're living in a simulation. Jill wears a bodycon dress to a globalist shindig and her torso just happens to look exactly like Pepe the Frog being suffocated in a plastic bag by FBI agents fighting the new war on domestic terror. Coincidence? Come on, man!

MadTownGuy said...

Joe Biden sez:

"My plans are not about left versus right — or moderate versus progressive — or anything else that pits Americans against one another."

Just another radical left talking point. Our "woke" son used the same line on us while promoting all the tenets of women's. The other trope is 'we need new ideas.' By that, our son meant socialism, which of course is not new at all, but he won't stand to be confused by the facts.

"It seems to me that Biden got elected by offering to be not much more than the absence of Trump, but his Party seems to behave as if the people elected Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren"

He wasn't even elected.

tommyesq said...

Does that look like the group of people you would choose to run the free world?

Eleanor said...

Jill's dress doesn't fit her. She needs a better tailor, better undergarments, or maybe both. Someone needs to tell her. Doesn't she have a best friend?

Narr said...

That dress is almost as plastic as the Bidens themselves. Looks like pool lining.

What a gallery of mugs and muggettes.

Wince said...

Incontinent as well as incompetent?

Charlotte Allen said...

Jill actually looks great (lavender flatters her skin tone, and she has a good figure), but she needed to go up one size. The shape of the dress is actually simple and classic.

Call it what it is; trashy. I find it hilariously satisfying that our moral and intellectual betters on the Left are 100% behind a family that should be living in a Florida trailer park.

Joe Smith said...

Biden and his lackeys keep talking about 'competitiveness' but they never talk about 'winning.'

I want America to compete, win, kick ass and take names...

Breezy said...

Why the change of subject? It’s Biden’s message that he ran on and exactly not what Biden has been up to lately. He either is the leader of this whole shebang, or he’s not. If not, then we must find out who is.

wendybar said...

Fits like a condom!! Who knew this 70 year old woman was in to latex outfits??

Temujin said...

I'll believe Joe wants us to be 'competitive' when he re-opens our domestic energy industry. Until that time, he's full of shit. If I can say that here.

Michelle Dulak Thomson said...

Ann,

My plans are not about left versus right — or moderate versus progressive — or anything else that pits Americans against one another. They are about competitiveness, expanding opportunity, and leading the world.

So, Biden is saying that he doesn't want to pit Americans against each other, just against the entire remaining population of the planet? Otherwise, I don't see what "competitiveness" is doing in there at all. And after we've broken the rest of the world's backs with our "competitiveness," we then "lead" them? Ooooookay.

Biden is not, of course, the only one who speaks hooey like this, just the latest. Still, this an unusually tortuous (torturous?) example.

BillieBob Thorton said...

Jill needs a better bra, her tits are hanging down to her navel. She should fire her wardrobe consultant.

Ann Althouse said...

Serena Cappello, Draghi’s wife, the woman on the left, has got to be questioning the old advice that it's always a good idea for a woman to wear a black dress.

I don't know who the woman with Sergio Mattarella is. His spouse is deceased. Anyway, she went with the metallic gold, a good choice, the best of the 3 women. The best of the 6 humans. She also looks like the one — of all 6 — with the greatest physical capacity, if this were to become an athletic contest of some kind.

gilbar said...

I don't know who the woman with Sergio Mattarella is.,,

Looks like it's his daughter, Laura Mattarella, if so; Should be in best shape, she was born 2 December, 1968... So, she's Even younger than Resident Biden's Babysitter June 3, 1951

Iman said...

Her eyes and face increasingly reflect the stress and strain brought on by the charade and her husband’s addled and pathetic performance.

As for the dress, the two words that immediately came to mind looking at her standing next to ROTUS Plugz were “purple” and “haze”.

Iman said...

Biden should keep this clown show out on the road, and turn this thing into his “Incontinence on Seven Continents” tour.

Joe Smith said...

'I didn't buy. I didn't vote.'

So you are partly to blame for this mess?

Btw, why doesn't the MSM harangue the good DOCTOR about the cost of her outfits.

Has anyone asked her if the dress was made by Chinese slave labor?

Inquiring minds...

JK Brown said...

Democrats, after pushing every divisive thing they could find, are swinging back to the notion that people will buy their "unity/compromise" message. Might work for the easily duped college credentialed who came out for him in 2020, but not for the "working class".

"The fading of the critical sense is a serious menace to the preservation of our civilization. It makes it easy for quacks to fool the people. It is remarkable that the educated strata are more gullible than the less educated. The most enthusiastic supporters of Marxism, Nazism, and Fascism were the intellectuals, not the boors. The intellectuals were never keen enough to see the manifest contradictions of their creeds.

It did not in the least impair the popularity of Fascism that Mussolini in the same speech praised the Italians as the representatives of the oldest Western civilization and as the youngest among the civilized nations. No German nationalist minded it when dark-haired Hitler, corpulent Goering, and lame Goebbels were praised as the shining representatives of the tall, slim, fair-haired, heroic Aryan master race. Is it not amazing that many millions of non-Russians are firmly convinced that the Soviet regime is democratic, even more democratic than America?"

Rumor has it Nancy Pelosi is supposedly in my community today. Kids are trick or treating later. That’ll be really scary for them…

Wilbur said...

Mercy, what a bad look.

Does Jill Biden have a fashion designer or consultant? That person should be out of a job, PDQ.

Lurker21 said...

It is remarkable that the educated strata are more gullible than the less educated.

Jacques Ellul said much the same thing.

*

Draghi's not a member of any party and his government is supported by almost all the parties in Parliament, parties that have hated each other for years. That wouldn't work here.

*

The idea seems to be that to be a leader and to be a unifier are the same thing. That's only true if most of the people really want to go where you are leading them. That's impossible nowadays, and going where most of the country wants is not something Biden has even tried.

Also, Joe's idea of "competitiveness" seems a bit off. We may be making great strides in our competition with Europe to see who can have the most extensive and intrusive government bureaucracy, but that's not likely to make the country more productive.

@Althouse, you and a lot of other affluent white female liberals will nevertheless vote Democrat next year and two years after that. You live in Madison; stop pretending to care about issues.

Jill Biden put that dress on, looked in the mirror, and still walked out in public wearing it? Does she not have any friends?

Maynard said...

@Althouse, you and a lot of other affluent white female liberals will nevertheless vote Democrat next year and two years after that. You live in Madison; stop pretending to care about issues.

I think you misunderstand, Big Mike.

It is all about being liked by the right kind of people. You know, people who read NYT, WaPo, The New Yorker and other mags that appeal to a psuedo-intellectual style. It is ultimately narcissistic and pretentious, but that is how some people roll despite their attempts to be just normal folks.
