Biden introduces Zekensky as Putin at Nato Summit

I don't know either, but the whole thing is embarrassing and ridiculous.

OMG😂👏👏

Chemtrails?

Since this is neither news, nor a shock to those in power in the US, it makes you wonder what is the real story behind the dead cat distraction.

Now that IS funny 🤣

It’s not funny, for the reasons others have listed above.

This is quite funny, though:

I don't find it funny either. It's "OMG" but not in an entertaining way.

I can't understand why he won't stand aside - is it arrogance that he genuinely thinks no-one would be a better president than him? Or can he not see the gaffs and understand that the Democrats will lose the election because Democratic supporters will just not vote for him and therefore Trump wins almost by default?

It's all very well being able to make it though last night but it was a tightly controlled event that he would have been carefully prepped for. And he still got major things wrong. What happens if there's a terrorist attack in the middle of the night? How's he going to cope with that and make decisions that could mean whether people live or die when he already says "I gotta pace myself more" and has to go to bed at 8pm?

Given the way that the US system works with regards the president elect/inauguration, he'd still be POTUS in January 2029 if he won this year. How can anyone see the decline in the last few years and think this is feasible?

Is it the system or the party? Genuine question, I don't know enough about it. But he absolutely shouldn't be running.

It's not remotely funny. It is embarrassing and cringe-making. Dangerous too as there is now a very real danger of handing election victory on a plate to Trump. That would be disastrous for NATO etc.

Biden needs to step aside, or be made to, although the American system of candidate selection hardly seems given to flexibility here.

No, I don’t find watching a man in clear decline with Parkinson’s or some form of dementia funny at all.

Something is stopping him stepping down/being forced to step down. Panic in the Democratic Party, complete denial of how it appears to the rest of the world or maybe his own ego?

Whatever it is, I’m not seeing the joke.

Here's CNN going after the WSJ for having gone off-message over Biden: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/06/06/media/wall-street-journal-biden-mental-acuity/index.html

This is relevant about the media handling and how a certain grouping of the media went on the attack when a highly respected US journalist did the wrong thing when some time ago she voiced concerns about Biden:

I’m not sure there has been much coverage of his decline though?

If you mean in alternative type media then it reinforces the pp point

I don’t know specifics, I was referencing the comment made by @Allthegoodnamesarechosen

And calling Kamala Harris 'Trump'?

I expect any president to be competent for an hour, and the other 23.

If the man's ego wasn't so big he would step down, nominate a younger candidate with his blessing and give an emotional speech about age defeating us all and maybe the way forward for US is a younger leader, time for the next generation to shine etc etc. That would put Trump under pressure to step down too for age reasons, which he won't of course and the younger candidate would win.

Biden seems egotistical and arrogant. He needs to go.

He also called Kamala Harris 'VP Trump'. Wince.

It’s not funny, it’s pretty tragic imho.

news outlets have been highlighting the behaviour for years

Which news outlets are you referring to?

I don’t deny what you have said. My issue was with the ludicrous comments about democracy and “allowed” viewpoints. You clearly acknowledge that freely available news outlets have been highlighting the behaviour for years, which flies in the face of the other poster’s nonsense.

So what is your explanation? Several freely available news outlets have been showing clips like this since the guy was elected. Wandering off, ‘gaffes’ , bizarre behaviour towards young girls…it’s all on you tube . But all the very intelligent and correct thinking supporters are suddenly amazed and distancing themselves - presumably because the election ‘debate’ exposed it in a way and on a platform which could not be ignored or waved away.

So the supporters, especially the ‘ inner circle’ are either liars or fools , or a cabal. Take your pick.

He only corrected himself when he heard everyone gasp and call out Zellensky's name instead.

If Michelle Obama has any desire to run for President now is the time.

Its incredibly embarrassing and also inhumane to keep letting him do this. We can all clearly see that the man has some major cognitive issues and letting him continue is making a mockery out of him.

They need to take action ASAP.

It’s not a case of “letting him” continue. It’s entirely his decision.

He'll be starting a war with Switzerland soon at this rate..
I do feel for him. Its undignified allowing him to deteriorate so publicly like this.
