The analogy makes perfect sense to me. He's saying what people always say about the news — variations on "If it bleeds, it leads." But...
The president's dog analogy comes the same week it was revealed that first dog Commander was removed from White House grounds after a series of biting incidents. On Thursday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to reveal the dog's whereabouts.
So he has dog on his mind. He needs to think of an example, and he thinks of a dog example.
Beyond the dog comment, Biden told reporters he didn't believe 'you're picking on me.' 'It's just the nature of things,' he said. 'I get it.'
The president also acknowledged there were reasons for Americans to be worried. 'There's reasons for people to be concerned what's going on in Russia, reasons to be concerned about what's going on in other parts of the world,' he said. 'I think that the American people are smart as hell and know what their interests are...."
Seems lucid to me.

Since there is apparently video evidence of Biden kicking a dog, there's a Biden story about him falling out of the shower when he was "playing" with the dog by pulling its tail, I suspect that the story about a boy pushing a dog into a lake is one of Joe's actual childhood memories. And he was the nasty little ankle biter that pushed the dog.
As for Joe "seeming lucid" to our host--well even someone who is way around the bend mentally can have his or her lucid moments. It's just that there are so few of them where Biden is concerned.
You know Biden is lucid from the sunglasses.
The second Biden gets hauled into a courtroom the story will become "Republicans are picking on a senile old man".
His analogy makes sense, but the first thing I thought of is, "he's complaining that the media reports on him kicking dogs instead of on him loving dogs." A problem he could fix himself by not kicking dogs anymore.
Commercial real estate assets are in trouble from the mass exodus from the office. Residential housing prices are bubble high and because of the current mortgage rates, the resale market has seized. Nobody is selling - nobody wants to move to a different house that is less than their current house but has the same monthly payment. Inflation has impacted and continues to severely impact all households. The federal reserve continues to try to pretend that it can stop inflation, but not put the economy into a recession - an impossibility. Businesses that could make a profit when borrowing rates were near zero are finding out that they can’t make a profit when borrowing rates are higher. China’s economy is in trouble with underperforming capital stranded all over, in real estate and other poorly decided investments. Europe and particularly Germany, are in deep trouble financially, mostly because of their own dumb energy decisions and also because of the war in Ukraine.
It isn’t lucid to believe the economy is doing well.
He's starting to build the border wall and now he's complaining about fake news. He's becoming Bizarro Trump.
”Seems lucid to me.”
And therefore Biden has no dementia excuse for brutalizing his dogs with kicks and punches. He’s just a garden variety son of a bitch — nasty, cruel, and mendacious.
"So he has dog on his mind. He needs to think of an example, and he thinks of a dog example."
That's unimaginative of JRB.
"Beyond the dog comment, Biden told reporters he didn't believe 'you're picking on me.'"
That's an oblique accusation.
"'It's just the nature of things,' he said. 'I get it.'"
I'm not convinced he gets it, whatever it is.
"The president also acknowledged there were reasons for Americans to be worried. 'There's reasons for people to be concerned what's going on in Russia, reasons to be concerned about what's going on in other parts of the world,' he said. 'I think that the American people are smart as hell and know what their interests are....""
How out of touch can he be? The American people are concerned about what's happening in their own country.
"Seems lucid to me."
If he truly is lucid, he's being deceptive. Otherwise, he's clueless.
Just go to the grocery store and look at the prices. Most people are not dumb enough, insulated enough or rich enough not to see that prices on a lot of things have almost doubled during the last few years.
On Thursday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to reveal the dog's whereabouts.
Apparently, Commander sleeps with the fishes.
'I think that the American people are smart as hell and know what their interests are. I think they know they are better off financially than they were before.'
That sounds delusional to me.
Dog bits man isn't news. Man bites dog is news. That's what Biden is trying to remember the details of.
I'm not sure why Althouse goes to such lengths to prop up dementia riddled people like Biden and Feinstein and others. It's a recurring theme. Spend some time in an old folks home. You will know.
Yeah Joe has his pulse on America. we're all concerned about who controls the Donbass, and evil Putin keeping the Crimea. And what's "Happening around the world" Right fellow average Americans?
Of course some of us, the ignorant boobs, are more concerned about millions of illegals pouring over the border, runaway crime, inflation, 5 dollar a gallon gas, crazy food prices, mortgage rates going through the roof, trillion dollar deficiets, and the price of health care.
But mostly its just Putin. That....bad guy.
My next door neighbor, whom I have known and been friends with for the last decade suffered a head injury in the Navy and had 1/3 of his brain removed.
With no exaggeration, Biden acts just like him.
He's a good guy (which Biden is not) but he can walk away from you in the middle of a sentence and start wandering, he repeats the same few stories from his past incessantly and his balance is for shit.
Don't try to pull the wool and convince me Biden isn't suffering from cognitive impairment.

Heh.
Is Joementia signalling he'd like to drown his troublesome shepherd?
The body language, the vacant look in the eyes, the long, long pauses... The man is hanging on to what you are calling lucidity by his fingernails.
And the fate of the world in in his hands.
"I think that the American people are smart as hell and know what their interests are"
Importing the population of Venezuela not being among them.
If this was in the WaPo or NYT, this would be a "Man Bites Dog" story.
As MadTownGuy noted, Biden was lucid enough to know he couldn't directly attack the press reports about his treatment of his dogs (he prefers to punch down) but he obviously used the dog analogy because that's what he really wanted to do.
Everybody can be a mind-reader.
I think he was trying to get to the joke: if I walked on water to rescue my dog, the media would say my dog can't swim.
Or he has open borders on his mind. Aren't he and Mayorkas rescuing a lot of very worthy animals, and not getting credit for it? I know, we're not supposed to refer to human beings as animals. Letting everyone in the world move to New Jersey to pay homage to Emma Lazarus is not a solution to anything. One might even question whether it is sane.
No bon mot. That son of a cross-eyed bitch is costing my neighbors their homes and jobs.
Of our few remaining hopes, one is that the Acela Corridor disappears into the Bermuda Triangle.
"Apparently, Commander sleeps with the fishes."
Nope, Commander has gone to live on "the farm". You know, where all the squirrels are slow and kibble falls from the sky,
Sounds lucid?
If you say so.
That's one. Let's pack it in for the day.
“… But he mixed up the terms 'debt' and 'deficit' and used the strange metaphor about dogs when a reporter asked him why he thinks Americans are still unhappy with the economy and give him low approval ratings.”
Why ARE Americans unhappy w/the economy???
Did he answer the question?
Is he butt hurt over low approval ratings?
Has he “got the sadz” over his aggressive, biting dog?
He’s addled as in scrambled &fried and a tad poached.
Lucid. OED that one, please?
“Yeah Joe has his pulse on America”…
I think you kinda mean he’s got his finger on America’s pulse.
Whether Biden has a pulse- that’s the topic of discussion lol.
Dementia Joe lays bare his fervent desire to push the dog into the lake and holding it’s head under water until it’s dead.
