Official LRC President Joseph R Biden Thread

it just doesn't matter.

Biden will have a press conference later this month, but after that the right wing morans will just point to some minor gaffe and keep up their idiocy.

The thing is this: It's day 51 of his presidency. He's managing the biggest crisis in generations. it's going well. He passsed major, major legislation. His press office talks to the press every day.

For biden to study up for a full on press conference during his first 50 days would be counterproductive because his time would be better spend saving american lives and calling joe manchin to keep him from defecting.

BUt whatever right wingers - you lie, you always lie, so you will continue to lie about biden't mental health. Doesn't matter what he does. You have created a world that you live in and facts aren't a part of it.

Have you ever actually met someone with dementia early, mid, late stage etc? Your comments are offensive and disrespectful to families that have to deal with loved ones going through this and show an almost alarming level of naivety around how crippling and debilitating it is. When my grandfather was beginning down this path the idea that he would be able to stand up and deliver a prime time address (yes even read off a teleprompter) while simultaneously pulling cards out of his pocket for dramatic effect and adjusting his intonation and glare to dramatize elements of the speech is literally laughable.

You, sir, are either a complete moran or being purposefully disingenuous. For your sake I hope it is the former else you are actually a bad person.

Yes! That is why I'm concerned and brought it up. Yes, he can still read a big screen teleprompter, but has struggled with others and once he losses his place, he has been lost and then we see the real Joe. Yes, I also feel bad for him, but I'm more upset with his staffers and the media for not being more honest about his condition.

You clearly didn't read what I wrote. I will say it again in caps. A PERSON WITH DEMENTIA WOULD NOT BE CAPABLE OF PARTICIPATING EFFECTIVELY IN A PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE OR DELIVERING A WIDLY APPLAUDED PRIME TIME NATIONAL ADDRESS.

Your fake compassion is disgusting and offensive to the people that actually have to deal with the horror of watching their loved ones fade.

Seriously, what is wrong with you? Trivializing dementia is an unacceptable low even compared to some of the other nonsense you spout. I am 99% certain you are some troll (who cares foreign or domestic). If so, you should seriously consider your life decisions. If not, wow... just wow.

Do you consider ABC right wing morans? I think most honest people would say it's not a good thing that our current president hasn't hosted a press conference from an accountability perspective alone.

"Formal press conferences "are an indispensable part of the presidency," Mike McCurry, a press secretary for President Bill Clinton, told ABC News. Presidents will gather advisers to prepare and sharpen answers ahead of time, a boon to the policymaking process, he said.

"It's not a substitute for the more normal press conference to just have the president take a few questions in passing," McCurry said. "

I have seen people function just fine, better than Joe, that have been diagnosed stage 3, or stage 4. Sorry!

PLEASE...Not CNN!!!

As someone who has worked in and around this space and has a lot of personal experience with it.... You are a complete, bold faced liar. Hard to have a conversation with someone who just doubles down on absolute nonsense.

Checking out now.

Good morning Trump fan boy losers.

Your seem particularly angry this morning.

ENJOY YOUR LOSS ??

multiple issues.

My main point is that you will consider Biden senile no matter what he does. His actions simply have no connection to your views on that.

As for press conferences: They used to be much more important than they are now. The internet has made getting information out much, much easier. And any mistake a prez makes will now be repeated endlessly in memes. So they just aren't what they used to be and they are much riskier than they used to be. I suspect no future president will have regular press conferences.

That said, Biden should and will have full press conferences.

Also, my former point: Biden has done a tremendous amoutn during a major, major crisis. I'm glad he spent the time talking to senators and not prepping for a press conference.

Finally, Biden just isn't a great talker in the way CLinton, Obama, Trump were. He's just not, and that's one big reason he lost so many prez elections. He won't be at his best at a press conference, so he won't do many of htem.

Trump a great talked agip? Maybe in the same way that Lil Wayne is a great lyricist.

my dude, people drove hundreds of miles and lined up in the rain and plague to hear Trump talk.

They dont' do that for anyone else.

He was star of a TV show

He's one of the great talkers of all time.

No, he's not a great talker in the manner of Churchill, but good lord he is entertaining.

It's a different kind of skill than you are thinking.

More below the belt than above the neck.

He didn't lose so many elections because he "isn't a great talker."

Just looking at the first one ...

He was reckless. He plagiarized. He inflated his academic record.He made up stuff. Reporters called out his exaggerated youth activism.

I don't really think he's senile, at least not beyond the normal cognitive decline you see in 70+ individuals. Just wanted to note that not only "right wing morans" think he's not facing the press enough.

I don't disagree with your point but look at it a bit differently. It is like comparing a Nobel laureate in literature to some crappy airport newsstand page turner. I acknowledge that in politics, as we have seen over the last 6-8 years the distinction may not matter but it matters to me at least.

With your experience in this area, please describe where you think President Biden is at cognitively. Certainly he isn't as sharp as he was four years ago, correct?
