Biden forgets the name of the Pentagon, as well as the name of his secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin

^^ Well, Neera Tanden's nomination to head up the Office of Management and Budget failed spectacularly before the Senate even had a chance to look at confirming her just because she had a big mouth.
Ol' Joe had to get a couple of women through to something big just to prove to the gals that he's a real warrior for equality for women.

Was it that or was it to ensure he had some new hair to sniff?

Out of 330 million choices, Joe was the ‘best’ the dems and republicans could come up with.
It’s so sad that the country is so polarized but we didn’t create the problem.

Everyone else running had some sort of baggage, Joe was a blank slate. His incipient dementia washed away all his previous sins. He was the only choice.

Zero. Once he's out of office, he has no power they can exploit. Of course if they think Michelle could get in the oval office, it pays to keep them on the payroll. Where have we seen this model before?

I wonder how much of that was for services rendered while he was in office? (As opposed to pure above the table capitalism).

At some point soon there has to be some kind of competency question raised. It is obvious to everyone there is a very real problem here.

Yeah, but who does it suit to raise it? I know that sounds like a bad joke, but Joe's current state creates some pretty strong temptations. An inactive presidency leaves a vacuum that other players will try to surge in to fill. Each of those players, of course, is perfectly willing to insist (if only to themselves) that they and they alone can be entrusted with the power and responsibility it will take to cope with the situation.
Whatever Joe's got going on may actually have to be so bad to be addressed that it will overcome a (new) balance of power in D.C.

There is a historical precedent with Woodrow Wilson.
“ Wilson’s wife Edith blamed Republican opponents in Congress for her husband’s stroke, as their vehement opposition to the League of Nations often took the form of character assassination. Edith, who was even suspicious of the political motives of Vice President Thomas Marshall, closely guarded access to her husband. She kept the true extent of Wilson’s incapacitation from the press and his opponents. While Wilson lay in bed, unable to speak or move, Edith purportedly insisted that she screen all of Wilson’s paperwork, in some cases signing Wilson’s name to documents without consulting the convalescing president. Edith, however, denied usurping her husband’s position during his recovery and in her memoirs insisted she acted only as a “steward.” https://www.history.com/this-d...son-suffers-a-stroke
“ At this point, a cover-up began, led by Dr. Grayson and the president’s second wife, Edith. They thought that it would be best if Wilson was not informed of just how serious his condition truly was. When Dr. Grayson briefed the Cabinet, the question of succession came up but he refused to sign any official notice of disability. He also discouraged letting the public know the extent of the president’s condition (Weinstein suggests this reflected Edith Wilson’s opinion).” https://ahsl.arizona.edu/about...ts/presidents/wilson
Wilson had four recorded strokes between 1896 and 1919. His wife covered up his last one and effectively acted as President. Wonder if history will repeat?
“ The work of destruction is quick, easy and exhilarating; the work of creation is slow, laborious and dull.

Hmmm “Dr. Jill” for the win! Sure answers a lot of her motivation questions. Some have for her propping him up. Good old power greed! I don’t think she will be as tough to push aside in this day of back stabbers. And then they whomever they is will want Kamela to answer the bugler when the times are right. With the proper backing Dr.Jill might be too tough for “they” to keep directing. We do live in interesting times .

The picture reminds me of the palestinians \ arabs- There's always a baby used as a prop. No real concern or effort to improve the childrens life just drag them out as a prop when sympathy is needed.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Monday requested that its staff volunteer to assist in dealing with an “overwhelming” migrant surge at the U.S.-Mexico border, as the Biden administration continues to deny that there’s a crisis.
“Today I activated the Volunteer Force to support Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as they face a surge in migration along the Southwest Border,” DHS Secretary Mayorkas said in an email to staff Monday, obtained by several news outlets.
“You have likely seen the news about the overwhelming numbers of migrants seeking access to this country along the Southwest Border,” Mayorkas said.
“President Biden and I are committed to ensuring our Nation has a safe, orderly, and humane immigration system while continuing to balance all of the other critical DHS missions.”
DHS volunteers, in a non-law enforcement capacity, will work to carry out tasks such as assisting in control rooms, doing housekeeping, preparing meals, doing supply and prescription medicine runs, and managing property

My experience with liberal politicians is when they make such a promise/guarantee, the exact opposite is true.

Whatever word pops into your head, I guarantee you the term "presidential" won't be it when you watch this. The man looks utterly lost and is begging for a handler to come and get him. Ji in China has got to be thrilled and laughing his azz off at us stupid Americans.
