The White House is having to cover for another Biden gaffe.  This one is pretty damn serious, having wide ranging foreign policy ramifications.  He said in a speech while touring Asia that the US would intervein militarily to protect Taiwan.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

Some people think deliberately making the enemy think your leader is irrational is a deterrent.

Wow. Biden is not the only one showing symptoms:

I don't completely agree with Musk's quote as a generalization of "everybody", but I have to concede that a lot of people in fact likely voted for "less drama".

https://www.foxnews.com/media/elon-musk-triggers-liberals-tweet-bidens-mistake-proof-being-rich-doesnt-make-you-smart

It was clearly a sib-strategy to create an atmosphere of alarm by simply howler monkeying constantly so that people assume there is a major problem and also vote to make it stop. That's what the 24/7 anti-trump fest was about. Now it's kinda the opposite of trying not to highlight the constant facepalms of the current administration

No narrative-building here:

Beyond policy, Biden is unhappy about a pattern that has developed inside the West Wing. He makes a clear and succinct statement — only to have aides rush to explain that he actually meant something else. The so-called clean-up campaign, he has told advisers, undermines him and smothers the authenticity that fueled his rise. Worse, it feeds a Republican talking point that he’s not fully in command.

There are still some 30% of Americans believing this stuff, so I guess it works.

From Perd's post:

I think that part's actually pretty accurate, and, ironically, one of the clearest and most concise statements he's made in a while.  Staffers running around behind him claiming "That's not really what he meant"  and " this isn't a policy change" DOES undermine his authority and goes a long way towards making everyone think he's not really in charge.  Not sure about his "authenticity" but perhaps a Biden voter could see him as faker now than pre-2020.

If he didn't mumble rambling nonsense or offhandedly change major foreign policy points perhaps the staffers would back off a little, but he's correct that they are undermining him.

Heh.  Maybe he could ask Trump for advice on how to deal with people in his administration undermining his policies.  Trump has some experience with that.

Reportedly Biden is upset his "clear and succinct" statements keep getting corrected.
And this is coming from NBC

Apparently the problem is we're not being allowed to see the the "genuine" Joe Biden

Quote
Members of Biden’s inner circle, including first lady Jill Biden and the president’s sister, Valerie Biden Owens, have complained that West Wing staff has managed Biden with kid gloves, not putting him on the road more or allowing him to flash more of his genuine, relatable, albeit gaffe-prone self. One person close to the president pushed for more “let Biden be Biden” moments, with the president himself complaining he does not get to interact enough with voters. The White House has pointed to both security and Covid concerns in restricting the travel of the 79-year-old president.

Can’t make this UP: Biden ‘seething’ that he’s more unpopular than Trump, blames his own STAFF for not letting him ‘shine more’

I don' know, thinking I am about lulzed out by Brandon.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

We're currently being "led" by the 20 something poli-sci staff he's surrounded himself with.  An old school southern Democrat being himself would be hilarious.  How many rooms in the West Wing would have to be designated safe spaces once he starts saying what's on his mind?

This is a fact. Whatever else you can say about Brandon, I don't think he has ever been woke in his life. There's no way he's spouting some of the woke *expletive deleted*it that he spouts without it being written by college kids. He's the unfiltered grandpa at Thanksgiving dinner.
