Thoughts on the press conference?

IMO it was not bad at all. Biden did a terrific job.

As I have said time and time again, Biden fumbling names and spewing gaffes is something he has done publicly for 35 years. Its unremarkable and only meaningful to those that don't wish Biden well. It's literally childish to start threads about or yammer on about if as if it means anything.
I know it angers you, but you can't blame people, even his fans for their concern after the disastrous debate performance.
 
Biden cannot speak off the top of his head......it's gone, long gone. "Cheat sheets, reporters on the take, prepared questions rehearsed".....yeah, democrat party in a nutshell.
Biden understands he is not young and things change, he therefore tries to more prepared, you thinking that is bad is comical. Maybe he could talk about Hannibal Lectner or about his numerous arrested associates, only the best!
 
I told you, other posters here told you that what you watched tonight was happening years ago, but y'all decided to deny it UNTIL y'all decided he probably wouldn't beat orange man bad.

Just be honest about it!
The last few months have been evident about his physical demise, yet the economy, Wall Street and everything is better now than when Tubby Trump was the President. Facts
 
Nothing you say about Trump is an excuse for running mad Joe.
So, you're okay with trump's identifying a photo as that of one of his wives, when it was instead the woman he had sexually assaulted?

But Biden's doing what we all do - mixing up names - is somehow much more serious?
 
It's sad that people in the Trump cult think they can score points by pointing out Biden's gaffs with the babbling, racist dumpster fire of a candidate they're literally worshiping!
Trump could not begin to do a policy press conference like Biden just did. He wouldn't even try.
 
In other words - exactly what Trump says. It’s not that they aren’t capable of providing for their own defense but they don’t do it because they have no motivation to unlatch from the golden teat of the American taxpayer.
actually, you are surprisingly close

japan and germany have sought to minimize their military capacity from being contrite about the death and destruction those nations wrought on the world during WWII

but it would now be worse for the world if they did not ramp up their military materiel capacity, because their reliable source of such hardware, the USA, would no longer be a reliable vendor of such essential munitions under tRump

Joe's mental decline is patently obvious....there is no denying. "Good ole Joe" has always been prepared with prepared reporters and questions during his entire presidency in the few times he had the balls to speak with reporters. Not once as simply as himself, taking questions and answering them promptly. But you keep covering....it's what the cult does.
 
I should point out that during the period up to this point in the 2024 campaign, Trump has not offered anything as cogent, has not come anywhere near as relevant as to the 2024 campaign issues as Biden did tonight.

Trump has simply yammered his lies, bellowed his threats. That is all he has done as that is all he is....a lying bellowing blowhard.

I agree with your statement completely. This is why I'm voting for whomever in on top of the Dem ticket. If it's Biden in November, then I'm voting for Biden. It's sad that most people don't see how dangerous the alternative is.

It’s exactly what Trump said except Trump doesn’t need 500 hours to say it.
 
His stuttering hurts. His reference to VP tRump was bad.
His responses to the press pool have been pretty decent in content, but his delivery is awkward at times.
He seems to have a grasp on the numbers in Ukraine, and how he tried to rally nations together before tRumps hero invaded Ukraine.

I have greater faith in the team the Biden puts together and their core values than anything the tRump could ever do. No decent person would want to be in tRump's cabinet after seeing what happened to those that served in his first cabinet.
Yep, well put. Pretty much my takeaway. Biden's grasp of foreign policy can't even compare to Trump's naked ignorance and apathy.
