"I think the departure of President Biden is far more likely than the departure of President Putin." Colonel Douglas Macgregor said that and it's obviously true.
I suppose Tucker Carlson won't be American President or Trump's Vice-President. He might be very good. Is Ron Paul too old? Can anyone be too old anymore?
'Can anyone be too old anymore?'
ReplyDeleteWe’ve already seen plenty of evidence that the 80-year-old commander-in-chief requires printed cards with detailed instructions to navigate public events. He spent most of the 2020 presidential campaign doing virtual events; the press and public were given little or no access to him. That’s continued since he entered the White House.
Starting from his first meeting with his first formal press conference in March 2021, he has been carrying such cards with him in such settings. In March 2022, he was caught holding a card with answers to possible questions about the war in Ukraine. And in both a June 2022 event with wind industry executives and then a November 2022 summit in Indonesia, the cameras were able to see the cue cards he carried that told him precisely what to do, with phrases like “You enter,” “You take your seat,” “You thank participants,” and “You depart.” And to the consternation of his handlers, sometimes he reads the stage instructions aloud.
But this week’s cheat sheet goes beyond the usual embarrassment about an octogenarian president who is unable to perform without a script and often incapable of following the instructions he’s given.
It’s one thing for the White House staff to tell the president what to do or even to supply him with answers to possible questions that he can’t be relied upon to remember without a script in front of him. It’s quite another when members of the White House press corps are actively colluding in the charade. And that is what the photo of his presser cheat sheet revealed.
The card labeled “Question #1” in the “Reporter Q & A” showed a picture of Los Angeles Times White House correspondent Courtney Subramanian (followed by the phonetic guide to pronouncing her name) and then the text of a question about semiconductor manufacturing.
Biden duly called upon Subramanian, who then did ask a question about semiconductors, though not the exact same question that was on his card. In any event, Biden followed the script and gave her the answer to the question he thought he was getting rather than the one she posed.
How Far Will Corporate Media Go To Cover For And Re-Elect Joe Biden?
The president’s press conference cheat sheet raises serious questions about journalistic ethics as well as his declining mental state.

ReplyDeleteRon Paul had a massive stroke while being interviewed live on the internet. Cruel people would have found it funny.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get your Tucker Carlson fetish from. He's a moron.
