Biden press conference

[Mik]

He’s actually doing pretty well.

[Mik]

Ooh..just lost the line of thought talking about getting things done. Very clumsy recovery. He’s going to have to lid it soon.

[Mik]

Now he’s reading his answers on Afghanistan at the podium.

[Jolly]

Glad you're taking one for the team!

[Mik]

He’s telling the same story again on immigrants. That is a bad sign.

[Doctor Phibes]

Has he said he was born a poor black child yet?

[Axtremus]

I tuned in a few minutes after 2PM Eastern. The stuff on foreign relationship with China and the stuff on infrastructure are good. I was somewhat distracted when he was answering the last series of immigration questions but that too sounded quite alright.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

Never said they were. It's just scary amusing how the assessment changed in 7 minutes.

[Copper]

I didn't watch, I was planting lilacs in the backyard.

My understanding is that Mr. Biden said about Mr. Trump, "my predecessor, oh God I miss him."

I'm not surprised.

Not "changed," just commenting on two different aspects at different times. E.g., one can first say 'this design is colorful' and then seven minutes later say 'this design is practical'; to the extent that being 'colorful' and being 'practical' are not mutually exclusive, saying something is 'colorful' and then saying that it is 'practical' is usually not considered an "assessment change" in the usual manner of speaking.

Amazing.

Just. Amazing.

Satire from The Borowitz Report:

Tucker Carlson Accuses Biden of Faking Mental Sharpness for More Than an Hour

"Following the President’s press conference, the Fox News host blasted Biden for staying on point and using “suspiciously complete sentences.”

[Loki]

I missed it. No prime time yet where most people will get to see him.

Biden had some stumbles. Overall, not too bad for over 100 days of preparation...

[Jolly]

BTW, did anybody notice his eyes?

Dude was pilled up...

He most assuredly faded toward the end. On topics where he had deeper knowledge he did better, but it was clear he was tired and got out of there as quickly as he could. At times he reverted to what few stump speeches he had.

Overall I would say he did okay, and his tone and underlying themes will play well.

[89th]

The funniest part was when he said he’d run again in 2024. ZERO CHANCE.
