Biden....Sad

[Badermigee]

I've just seen Biden introduce president Zelensky as President Putin....its just beyond sad now, surely this has to be a big sway to stepping down?

Dear God poor man, someone needs to stop this.

@fridaynight1 its so unbearable to watch 😭

Yet the new PM, Keir Starmer, thinks that Biden is on top of his game!

How did we end up electing a clown as PM? He'll ignore the evidence of his own eyes and ears to pursue some ideological bolleaux!

Article in NYT saying his advisors are working on getting him to stand down.

He was just asked about future debates and he's responded with an answer about arms for Ukraine.

He's continually struggling to keep to his point. He's getting worse the longer this conference goes on. I don't think his memory issues are acute, but they're evident.

@Manxexile to be fair to KS he couldn’t really say anything else. I posted last night that I felt KS looked so uncomfortable with Biden, but I feel they are all trying to be supportive until it comes officially. He’s not going to last until November. No way.

He is getting worse

it's a slow moving car crash

This is him with some preparation, it just so painful to watch.

Oh an actual question about a true NATO issue. Clever. He might handle this better??

I'm pretty sure that Starmer, like Sunak, will have been briefed on the intelligence assessments of Biden's health, and told it isn't great. But he's not going to come out in public and say "Yep, the guy's ga-ga", is he? A certain amount of, well, diplomacy is required.

And apart from anything else, the state of health of the US president is a US domestic matter (even if of course what the US does affects us all). Other countries didn't take kindly to Trump being rude about their leaders, as I recall.

I agree.

Why are they allowing him to stand there and do this?

Oh no, it’s so disjointed is it really all coming through the ear piece?? I didn’t want to believe that, he talks fluidly, then stumbles, pauses and then speaks as if it’s being fed. 🥲

He’s toast.

Harris is unelectable.

Newsom is the Dems version of a TV evangelist.

Clooney won’t stand and if he did he’d be slaughtered.

Trump is now a shoo-in. Sadly. But Biden has brought this about. He’s a career pol who knows no life without his flunkeys and CNN. He’d do time on the rack in the Tower of London before he’d give up political office.

Well done Dems, you’ve gifted us fucking Trump again.

He's just rambling. Disjointed quotes and figures. He seems to be struggling to understand himself, keeps going off on convoluted tangents.

Christ, he needs to be whiling away his last few years away in a rocking chair by a window not attempting to run a county. He's making a mockery out of the USA.

This constant rhetoric about being the only person for the job isn't terribly helpful or respectful of the wider democrat hopefuls.

I thought bojo was a rambler! Biden makes bojo sound like Martin Luther King.

Oh dear. Watching a proud, well educated person whose job involved swiftness of thought and smoothness of talk masking to the best of their ability and failing is sad. My dad used to have that tic of touching the side of his face too, Biden doesn't look like he knows he should be controlling that.

MN is serving me ads for “granny annexes”!

Cherchez la femme! 🙄

There's been a lot more to it than that.

And most people aren't president of the most powerful nation on earth

And earlier on, Kier Starmer said he was fine...
