Let’s watch the Biden press conference.

Now, they’re saying it will start at 7 ET.

Watch here.

Too much delay. It makes a bad impression. And we haven’t even seen him yet.

It’s starting to feel as though this press conference isn’t going to happen, but that will get some sort of announcement that Biden is going to drop out. It’s gotten really boring waiting.

Ah! Here he is.

I think he's doing reasonably well.

He keeps saying "Don't hold me to this."

He’s leapt over the low bar. This is the candidate. Deal with it, Democrats.

“I gotta finish this job.”

Whoa! He said his delegates, at the convention, are free to vote for anyone they want!

Well, it's scheduled to start soon. I would not be surprised for it to start later than scheduled. The Biden White House is not known for its punctuality.

rhhardin said...

Delayed to 7pm eastern time says fox

Jim at said...

The fact people are making such a big deal about a freakin' press conference reveals just how far gone he really is.

A press conference is a normal thing. It's not an extraordinary event. Or at least it shouldn't be.

The Scott Adams's suspicion is that it's designed to get their boy to fail big so that he leaves. Negotiate down the golden parachute that Hunter is demanding..

rhhardin said...

The talking heads are showing ground level cognitive abilities but with complete sentences, talking in media garble. The question is what juncture we're at. For example.

Original Mike said...

Biden was doing ok earlier. Then he introduced Zelenskyy as "President Putin".

I think the thing Hunter wants most of all is a pardon. I also think Jill is determined that Joe will forget to grant Hunter one before he leaves office. That's why Hunter is now Joe's de facto chief of staff. Sort of funny in a way, especially when you remember that Hunter is a convicted felon.

Welcome to Biden Acres! Deleware's Finest in Mobile Home Living!

Humperdink said...

Having been batting .155 all season, the administration expects Biden to hit for the cycle tonight.

rhhardin said...

So far nobody has garnered anything.

Original Mike said...

The press really is a disgusting lot. CNN keeps running this disingenuous chyron saying democrats are angry at Biden's staff for hiding his infirmity. No mention of their own complicity.

rhhardin said...

A caveat has been mentioned. Fox live by the way.

RideSpaceMountain said...

Tonight I hope he gets really mad and calls Doocy a fat dog-faced pony soldier. Screw cruel neutrality!

Joe Smith said...

Liberals want the government to run their lives while the government can't even start a fucking press conference on time.

When is the last time, other than a rocket launch, that the timetable for a government event was on time?

JFC.

rhhardin said...

Another caveat has been mentioned. That's two caveats so far.

Joe Smith said...

Turn on Fox News and Juan Williams, by his every word, is trying to prove that blacks are too dumb to get valid ID.

I get that the man is a paid foil, but does he have no pride?

rhhardin said...

Key term is brought up: off ramp.

RideSpaceMountain said...

There is one and only one question that matters:

"Mr. President, do you have Parkinsons?"

Anything other than a yes or no answer he's done. If it's yes, he's done. If it's no, he'll be done in November.

Oh Yea said...

I’m getting the feeling we are about to see the climax of the Caine Mutiny. Joe just needs a couple of ball bearings to fidget with.

Joe Smith said...

"I think the thing Hunter wants most of all is a pardon."

Either way, Hunter will get his pardon.

But if Trump wins, the entire Biden family should go to prison for decades.

I'm hoping Trump learned his lesson by not destroying Hillary when the evidence was overwhelming...

It is a point of pride, at least in the submarine community, to cast off all lines at the exact minute of the scheduled time to get underway.

Joe Smith said...

If you're explaining, you're losing.

Biden's best hope would to tell everyone to just fuck off and say nothing...

Joe Smith said...

'It is a point of pride, at least in the submarine community, to cast off all lines at the exact minute of the scheduled time to get underway.'

That's how it should be.

These days it might get delayed because of a Pride celebration...

rhhardin said...

All eyes will be on President Biden. Talking head prediction. We also have some more reaction coming in...

imTay said...

He's gonna yell platitudes designed to fool good hearted people into liking him, that's how narcissists work, they charm the unsuspecting with ridiculous lies, like when in 2020 he promised to cure cancer, and he will sound like that fat politician in O Brother Where Art Thou, and the media will say he knocked it over the fence. The questions will be known in advance, possibly provided to him. He won't be asked anything that he doesn't want to be asked. This is not a Trump press conference. That would be a "big boy press conference," Joe has never done one, Democrats never have to.

If anything else happens, we will have witnessed something historic.

rhhardin said...

... so everybody will realize how important it is that they cast their vote in November ...

A lot of casting about for a topic to fill dead air

Achilles said...

It will be interesting to see which parts of the machine our illegitimate regime thinks are most important.

It looks like they want to try to retain as much trust in the media as they can possibly salvage right now. There are traitors like Jim Treacher that want to help do it

Iman said...

They always hidin’ the Biden. And for good reason. The man has fucked this country… six ways from Sunday.

Rabel said...

"Ladies and Gentlemen, President Putin."

Maybe should stop right there.

rhhardin said...

We're just minutes away from the start of this press conference... talking heads are demented. The topic changes in every sentence.

narciso said...

Sound and fury signifying nothing told by an idiot

rhhardin said...

Talking head now talking about overpreparation. Not explicitly listed as a caveat yet.

imTay said...

Not me, I am going walleye fishing, so I will just have to catch up with the memes.

rhhardin said...

Talking head is relieved by a female talking head who is also incoherent.

Ann Althouse said...

I can’t believe they didn’t try to make this happen on time.

Iman said...

“Ladies and gentlemen… President Putin.”

—- P0TATUS Biden, introducing Zelenskyy

rhhardin said...

There are six or maybe seven flags.

Original Mike said...

"and the media will say he knocked it over the fence. The questions will be known in advance, possibly provided to him. He won't be asked anything that he doesn't want to be asked. "

I don't think so. I've been watching ABC, then CNN for an hour or so and they are vicious. They're trying their damndest to distance themselves from the guy they have been protecting all these years. It really is a disgusting spectacle.

rhhardin said...

Talking heads want comments from listeners.

Original Mike said...

I'd wish they'd hurry up. I've got to get going.

Smilin' Jack said...

“Now, they’re saying it will start at 7 ET.”

Another lie. This is gonna be better than Night of the Living Biden.

narciso said...

7 pm canadian time

ga6 said...

Have to allow extra in case their are any delayed bids

rhhardin said...

Momentarily was mentioned, misused.

rhhardin said...

Talking head says Biden may pivot.

“Now, they’re saying it will start at 7 ET.”

In a few months, some of these people will be counting votes.

RideSpaceMountain said...

"I can’t believe they didn’t try to make this happen on time."

They're trying to get his drug cocktail just right. They were going for speedball but last minute are intravenously pumping large doses of adderal. Hope it works out for them, fingers crossed.

rhhardin said...

Another key term: damage control. Add it to off ramp.

tcrosse said...

Too bad Jerry Lewis isn't around any more. This would make a great telethon.

Inga said...

Maybe he had a medical emergency again, just ask Senator Mike Lee.

rhhardin said...

Talking heads are discussing confusion.

rhhardin said...

Nothing is being said about misunderstanding. Lots on confusion, nothing on misunderstanding.

rhhardin said...

Eight flags!

Iman said...

He don’t want no speedball cuz he
Might die tryin’

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

Late to the NATO summit today. Letting deadlines slip for tonight. Is this supposed to reassure America all is well with Biden?

tcrosse said...

Republicans pounce.

Clyde said...

I gotta say, I nailed it in the first comment. Low-hanging fruit, though.

TreeJoe said...

7:21pm ET and still no show and no update. Projects chaos in what is supposed to be carefully scripted.

Clyde said...

You think he's going to come out on stage and yell, "Hello, Cleveland!"?

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

Talking heads on Scripps News are running out of filler. Just heard he hasn’t had a cabinet meeting since October 2023. WTF.

Mason G said...

"7:21pm ET and still no show and no update."

Still settling on proper pronouns, no doubt.

Joe said...

Soon it will be Biden's bedtime.

Gusty Winds said...

Biden just introduced Zelensky as "President Putin." Seriously.

The downfall of America is hilarious.

Mark said...

'I can’t believe they didn’t try to make this happen on time.'

But the Disney credits music is so lovely! Can't wait until it goes John Phillip Souza like a second time.

Assume that about 45 minutes after 7 EST we will hear Biden is headed to Walter Reed for testing.

Achilles said...

Ann Althouse said...

I can’t believe they didn’t try to make this happen on time.

They are.

I guarantee that they started pumping him up with drugs at least 30 minute to an hour before it was supposed to start. But you can't just load him up with the full dose right off the bat.

First of all every day is different so the dose will vary even for the same person on a day to day basis.

Second of all his intestinal tract is not going to cooperate. He is going to have diarrhea and his blood will be variable in thickness and sugar levels. The drugs they use to boost his cognitive performance take time to get to the correct places.

The doctors are shooting at a moving target and if they over shoot that target Biden is going to have a critical organ failure or a brain bleed.

There is a not insignificant chance this press conference never happens and we never see Joe Biden standing again.

Joe Smith said...

"I can’t believe they didn’t try to make this happen on time."

The drug mix isn't right yet.

He will come out spicy like State of the Union.

If he comes out sluggish he's done.

Clyde said...

He turns into a pumpkin at 8 p.m. Eastern time.

Original Mike said...

Those predictions that he would die before the convention are looking better and better.

Joe Smith said...

And why aren't they doing this at the White House?

He would be much more comfortable at 'home.'

chickelit said...

All the networks are redefining the word "coverage."

effinayright said...

Let the record reflect that Britt Hume on Fox News was first to call Biden "senile", saying he's losing his memory.

March, 2020. Interview with Tucker:

"l...ike so many people his age, is losing his memory and is getting senile."

"I don't think there's any doubt about this," Hume said. "I have traces of this myself. I know what it feels like. Sometimes you're confused, sometimes you can't remember, 'What are you supposed to do the next morning?' -- and I'm not running for president and it's probably a good thing I'm not."

But for more than FOUR YEARS Chuck, Freder, Inga, Vicky, Cookie and all the others in the hired Dem claque have been telling us "it's all good." It's "cheap fakes", it's "disinformation".

What fools. Grade A Certified Fools. World-class Hacks. Soiling themselves on this blog more times than Biden has been caught doing so on camera.

Time for all of them to commit seppuku. To "atone by dying", as the Japanese say.

Many of us here would be happy to be your "second"s, the person who beheads you after you slice up your guts.

Offer a time and place. We'll be there, the line forming down the block.

Joe Smith said...

'Those predictions that he would die before the convention are looking better and better.'

Don't worry, Hillary's on the job : )

Achilles said...

I have to say I am not really paying attention to this. Why are there 3 handlers facing the crowd and what are they saying?

Original Mike said...

He's alive!

Joe Smith said...

Get the dude a glass of fucking water.

Achilles said...

The doctors did a good job.

Nice coughing.

Didn't take long for Biden to start lying though. Joe is a true war time president.

Original Mike said...

Why does he keep referring to Article V? Ukraine is not in NATO.

MadisonMan said...

I haven't heard a question yet. At the moment, it's just Biden bloviating.

Achilles said...

The doctors did a good job. Maybe Joe can hold on for a month or two.

That would be better long run.

He is a big boy now right?

MadisonMan said...

And by bloviating, I mean lying.

Drago said...

Original Mike: "Why does he keep referring to Article V? Ukraine is not in NATO."

The New Soviet Democraticals are quite certain their base has no idea that is the case.

No idea at all.

Joe Smith said...

He has a list of people.

Does he know the questions even though they are obvious?

Ralph L said...

My CBS station broke into Wheel of Fortune just after the contestant gave her three consonants and a vowel.

MadisonMan said...

It doesn't help when he calls Vice President Harris Vice President Trump.

Gusty Winds said...

There is obviously a list of prepared questions, and he has notes.

He just called Kamala "Vice-President Trump."

Joe Smith said...

Corporate profits have doubled because they are in inflated dollars.

John henry said...

Did he just call "I wouldn't have picked vice president trump..."

John Henry

Joe Smith said...

"There is obviously a list of prepared questions, and he has notes."

If he didn't have pre-selected people to call on it would sound like a feeding frenzy.

Mary Beth said...

I'm sure Biden calling Harris "Vice President Trump" has reassured all of us.

Joe Smith said...

"There is obviously a list of prepared questions, and he has notes."

If he didn't have pre-selected people to call on it would sound like a feeding frenzy.

The world loves biden! Because biden did the following....

Who the hell does he think was writing the checks to pay his dad?

And by bloviating, I mean lying.

Democrats obviously don't care about lying.

But saying "Vice President Trump" is not going to fly.

Iman said...

Fuck! Me! Running!!!

Joe Smith said...

Whisssssper...

rhhardin said...

It's a bad speech but he sounds sharp enough to stay in the race. The coup has failed. Good news for Trump.

Attacking Trump was a good move.

Iman said...

Clean up on aisle mushhead

Original Mike said...

Didn't they tell him to stop the creepy whispering thing?

Achilles said...

They got Joe to be somewhat alive and presentable. They don't care if he is stupid or obviously lying.

They can go either way with this.

gilbar said...

by whispering.. i think that i sound profound.. by whispering

Gusty Winds said...

"I'm catching hell from my wife."

So are millions of American men. LOL

Iman said...

Picking his nose…

Achilles said...

This is not a big boy press conference. This is absurd.

The questions are obviously scripted.

Joe has been to 20 major events since the debate with thousands of people.

He went off script with the love his staff thing. That was creepy.

His excuse on the bad debate night thing is just not going to cut it though.

traditionalguy said...

Perfectly clear that this dufuss cannot speak unless he is deceiving his listeners. Beautiful Liar but fooling no one anymore.

Achilles said...

Never mind he just fell off the cliff. Noticeably.

If this goes on for 30 more minutes this will get spicy.

Enigma said...

Good start, but the gas is draining from Biden at 7:49 Eastern...mumbling...

Lilly, a dog said...

This is absurd. These questions were written by White House staffers, and they stuffed the Cadaver-in-Chief with responses that he's struggling to regurgitate.

Joe Smith said...

This is like Willie Mays trying to play one more year...

Humperdink said...

"I am listening to my Commander-in-Chief." Sir that's you!

Drago said...

Lilly, a dog: "This is absurd. These questions were written by White House staffers, and they stuffed the Cadaver-in-Chief with responses that he's struggling to regurgitate."

It's so transparent its simultaneously hilarious and boring.

Linda said...

IMO - He clearly knew what the questions were going to be.

Mason G said...

So- is this the "Big Boy" press conference you expected?

Achilles said...

That "Polish Reporter" just asked the most ridiculous and stupid and obviously planted question I have ever heard.

They want Joe to stay in this race if at all possible.

Joe Smith said...

"Foreign policy has never been his strong point."

Except for wiping out ISIS, the Abraham Accords, and no new foreign wars.

Other than that, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Butkus51 said...

OMG, Trump had the nuclear codes

narciso said...

And yet hes still terrible at it

Joe Smith said...

He is not doing himself any favors.

This isn't 'debate terrible' but it's terrible.

Mason G said...

He keeps saying "Don't hold me to this."

"The buck stops here" was already taken.

donald said...

He done.

Achilles said...

Joe is out of gas. They are going to pull him soon if they want him to stay in. They will let this continue if they don't.

Money Manger said...

He sounds just lucid enough to give his die-hard believers reason to still believe.

did he just BRAG about expanding NATO?
and PROMISE that he would CONTINUE to expand NATO?

did he just say; "The Cold War is OVER.. We HAVE TO Replace it with a NEW WAR?

Inga said...

Maybe he should mention boats with batteries sinking and the danger of electrocution and sharks.

Enigma said...

Big Boy press conferences do not have pre-set lists of questioners, nor do they allow obviously pre-prepared answers. Where is Peter Doocy?

If anything, this is revealing the degree of stage management that is required for Biden. No Teleprompter, but note cards.

That's why biden has to call the reporters in just the right sequence to match the pre-written answers being projected.

Yancey Ward said...

Poor Inga- electrocuted by sticking her fork in the outlet.

Gerda Sprinchorn said...

One of the symptoms of Parkinson's is speaking in a loud whisper rather than a normal voice. This makes Biden quite unsettling. He alternates between whispering and shouting, with little in between, so he alternates between appearing frail and appearing unhinged. When he is unhinged mode, he can get pretty scary, especially when he talks about the war in Ukraine.

Dan from Madison said...

I notice Biden isn't wearing a wedding band. I wonder if that is off due to his hands swelling due to congestive heart failure.

Inga said...

Trump wouldn’t have been able to answer even one of those foreign policy questions. Wasn’t Trump laughed at by foreign leaders in some NATO event?

Meade said...

Wow, this really is a Big Guy press conference! He put in his Big Guy pants.

Ice Nine said...

Some reporter from the audience just interrupted him. WTF was that? Couldn't hear it clearly.

One of the symptoms of Parkinson's is speaking in a loud whisper rather than a normal voice.

So many, many signs (waxy skin, stiff gait, whisper, garbled words, etc. etc) are symptoms of Parkinson's and yet - despite the many visits by a Parkingson's expert, they claim "No".

According to John Hopkins, there is no medical test for Parkingson's - so, I guess When Kareen said "No, he has not been diagnosed for Parkingsons", she means no one has made a definitive, firm, incontrovertible diagnosis because. . . . . .there is a 1/1000 chance it could be something else.

BUMBLE BEE said...

Vice President Trump???

BUMBLE BEE said...

He is blinking more often.

Enigma said...

@Althouse post amendment: He’s leapt over the low bar. This is the candidate. Deal with it, Democrats.

I do think this performance is good enough for Biden to survive a little bit longer. Still, the Democratic donors will end him because he cannot be an effective mouthpiece anymore. His face is like plastic and vacant. He is struggling to understand speech, particularly from those with non-American accents. Neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's get worse over time. I can't wait to see him 2-3 weeks and 2-3 months down the road.

Read the symptoms and time course:

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/parkinsons-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20376055


Slowed movement, known as bradykinesia. Over time, Parkinson's disease may slow your movement, making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming. Your steps may become shorter when you walk. It may be difficult to get out of a chair. You may drag or shuffle your feet as you try to walk.
...
Loss of automatic movements. You may have a decreased ability to perform unconscious movements, including blinking, smiling or swinging your arms when you walk.

Speech changes. You may speak softly or quickly, slur, or hesitate before talking. Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than have the usual speech patterns.

I can't believe you are that stupid to bring that one up...but then you are you.

Trump told the German UN delegation in 2018 that if they didn't change course (from their moronic plans to cut off nuclear power and coal and go with their idiotic wind and solar plan with no backup) that the course they were on would put them them at the mercy of russki natural gas via the pipelines. This would inevitably lead to energy shortages and ridiculous energy price increases and hits to German manufacturing.

Oh how the Germans and the western lefties laughed and laughed and laughed.

Sort of like the first 2 little piggies in the story.

So, what happened after 2018 and the implementation of the German plan to impoverish themselves?

"The surge in energy prices since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has reduced the energy-intensive sector’s production in Germany, although the non-energy intensive sector’s production has held up thanks in part to firms’ efforts to improve energy efficiency. Energy prices are expected to remain elevated in the foreseeable future, compared to pre-war levels, adversely affecting firms’ productivity and thus lowering Germany’s potential output."

https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/selected-issues-papers/Issues/2023/07/24/Impact-of-High-Energy-Prices-on-Germanys-Potential-Output-536837

Poor Inga. As a leftist she can't help but be utterly ignorant in every way in terms of understanding basic supply and demand of energy and its impact on a nation's productivity.

And so long after the Germans stopped laughing, particularly after the biden admin blew up the Nordstream pipeline, Inga the buffoon STILL thinks its funny!

Lefties. What can you do?

Money Manger said...

This may be the worst outcome for the Democrats and for the press wanting him to pull out. He has given a strong enough performance to find the political strength to continue forward. But he is still damaged goods, and there is no way the press repivots once again to give him support. Barring a Trump gaff-tastrophy, Biden loses in November, and drags the ticket down with him.

Yancey Ward said...

This isn't a press conference.

This is a big boy press conference. It is kabuki.

That section of video will be analyzed later and the reporter will say what he said. We will find out what really went on outside of the media kabuki play going on right now.

We are watching the machine right now. Biden is a clown and obviously not a competent leader. But what will the blob of stupidity that is the democrat party do now?

I am more just interested in how Inga is acting right now.

This could be his last hurrah, he could leave with dignity and Democrats would respect him even more.

I kind of sort of understand why he has the list of reporters to call on. As Joe Smith mentioned, avoid the feeding frenzy.

But have other presidents had specific lists in press conferences? I've not noticed any, which may not mean a lot. When President Trump held press conferences, the reporters would leap up with their hands in the air "Oooh, Oooh, pick me, pick ME!" and he would pick one. If he had a list, we never saw it and the presstitutes didn't act like he did.

Here they sit quietly knowing in advance whether or not they will be chosen.

What really floors me is the lack of pretense. Especially in this allegedly Big Boy Press Conference. He holds up the list for all to see and tells us "these are the people I was told to call on." Who told him to call on these particular reporters and why? He is the commander in chief, Chief Executive and top dog. Why is HE not deciding who he calls on? Or at least pretending he is. Very disturbing.

Money Manger: "Barring a Trump gaff-tastrophy, Biden loses in November, and drags the ticket down with him."

Pay close attention to what is happening in Europe and US security sectors under biden as they approve more destructive weapons to Ukraine and approving use of the weapons deep within Russian Territory.

I believe this years New Soviet Democratical's "october surprise" will be, if not a full scale war with Russia, an escalation that will mirror such an action.

Yes, this is just good enough to make it hard to get rid of him but not good really. For one thing Biden's repeating lies about how Trump supports Putin. That makes Trump supporters feel hostile toward Biden and his policies and the likely result will be that the failure to meet Armed Forces reruiting quotas will continue. The left isn't going to make up that shortfall. Then, the Ukraine is not in Nato. Biden should be selling people on supporting Ukraine but again he's insulting Trump and the right on the issue and the opposition to that war will continue. (I believe we should be in the Ukraine but I can assure you Biden has done nothing up till now to help people like me sell it to the right.) we're in danger and Biden is dividing us further. We should look at what Biden's saying and whether he ralled support for Nato with all his insults hurled at the right.

How is it possible you are this dense? Biden has long been regarded as one of the dumbest "players" in DC and no one respects him in the slightest....on the democratical side! And that's been going on for 40 years!

Too funny.

Biden: "More children are killed by a BULLET than any other cause of death."

NBC says this is misleading:

Look at this Pew chart and the COVID chaos of Black boys in Blue cities.

He was going to take one more.

He said 2.

Now it's at least 3.

Did he forget?

Darkisland said...

And speaking of commander in chief, someone upstream mentioned that he is our commander in chief.

He is NOT my commander in chief. From 1967-75 the then president was. Hasn't been since I got discharged. He is the commander in chief of the military, nobody else.

Nor is he my governor, director, lord lieutenant or other similar position in charge of me.

He is my "President". He does not command, he presides.

“The chip. What are ‘ya doin’”?

What was that?

gilbar said...

he ended with a GOOD POINT..
In the primaries.. Where he ran unopposed, he did fine!

And FINALLY! Delaware was a red state!!

I don't understand why Biden wants to stay in the race so fiercely.

He tends to appear a bit deranged when he starts shouting, and I put that down to his speaking problems. But, what if he is actually becoming a bit deranged?

BUMBLE BEE said...

I don't ever recall my scratching that spot on my face.

Most obvious problem for this fake President is the fixed eyes stare showing that he is either drugged, demon possessed or both.

You cannot unsee that.
