Narrator: "That is because his policies have largely been good."Go Beavers said:
Okay, so it wasn’t because of his policies.lindamarie73 said:bootlegger10 said:The article is just more confirmation of what was already known. Yet, the Dems on this board will still say he was fit and they weren't being lied to for four years. I don't understand why folks on here can't be honest with themselves and say that Biden and his team did the nation a disservice by lying about his capabilities and ultimately forced them into taking on an unqualified candidate at the last minute.
Kamala should be pissed too because she was there for his decline and was forced to lie about it too, which damaged her credibility. Instead of gracefully be a one term president, he forced her to go out and campaign for him and lie.

Well, there is this one: Make America's billionaires wealthier at the expense of the lower and middles classes. That means many of you too, MAGAs."A sucker is born every minute." -P. T. BarnumStay tuned. The ultimate MAGA shit show is just weeks away."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -
Agreed. Just seeing him in action tackling important issues and being able to speak on them competently is all I needed. Short clips out of context and memes do it for some, but not me.Gern Blansten said:
I don't care what any stupid biased article says or what anyone here says that disagrees. Biden is an old man...he's still capable. Yes he stutters, yes he is slower to respond, slower to walk, etc., but no one in their right mind can listen to the guy talk about important subjects the way he STILL DOES and prove any disservice.bootlegger10 said:The article is just more confirmation of what was already known.

You are entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to disagree.
I personally don't think he should have run again. But that doesn't change the fact that he's still capable. As someone dealing with a parent with early onset Alzheimer's I do have some experience with this.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -
President Biden's disappearance while negotiations continue over a spending bill to fund the government past Friday is just fine with Democrats, according to a new report.
"Biden has remained conspicuously absent outside a brief statement issued by his press secretary — and for now, Democrats said there was little clamor for him to return," Politico reported Thursday, one day after Elon Musk and President-elect Donald Trump scuttled the first bipartisan spending bill.
The article said that despite the scramble to avert a government shutdown, "no one seemed to be looking to Biden for answers — and the lame-duck president gave no indication he had any desire to provide them."
"I haven’t gotten any message from President Biden, or heard of anything that he’s saying," California Democratic Rep. Mark Takano told Politico, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wouldn't say he's been in touch with Biden, only that he's been in "close contact with the administration."BIDEN REMAINS 'ABSENT' IN FINAL WEEKS BEFORE TRUMP ASSUMES OFFICE, WH ADVISORS COMPLAINAs Politico put it, "Democrats appeared largely fine with Biden taking a back seat."
Even during a caucus meeting among House Democrats, "there’d been no contemplation of Biden’s own views on the stalemate" with members instead "pointedly referring to Musk as ‘President Musk.’"
Biden allies argued the silence was "a strategic decision" to position Trump to "take the blame for any shutdown…damaging him politically even before he takes office."
Still, Politico reported Democrats have only spoken to White House staffers during this time, with no confirmations of a direct line to the current president.

Biden had spent all Wednesday at his Wilmington, Delaware, home with the White House calling a lid after the bipartisan bill was rejected. He remained there on Thursday and kept silent with nothing on his public schedule.
"[T}he president’s absence underscores a jarring reality that officials in both parties said has become clear since the November election: While Biden technically still runs the country, Trump — and increasingly Musk — are the real captains now," Politico said.
Democrats hope to pin blame for a potential shutdown on Trump and "President Musk."
Politico’s report followed a bombshell report from the Wall Street Journal which revealed several members of Biden’s staff noticed his diminishing stamina as far back as 2021 during the first few months of his presidency.

A reporter pressed the White House Friday on why President Biden has not been speaking publicly as government shutdown is now just hours away.
“Why hasn’t President Biden said anything in the public about this? Don't the American people deserve to know why millions of federal workers could enter this holiday period without a paycheck?” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked Friday during her daily press briefing.
“All Americans need to know that Republicans are getting in the way here, and they are the ones who have created this mess. That's the reality. That's the fact,” she responded. “This is not the first time we've been here. And the president has had this approach before. He understands how Congress works. He's been around for some time. He understands what strategy works here to get this done.
Jean-Pierre said Friday that President Biden has been in contact with Democrat leaders in Congress – Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries.
“He has been getting regular updates from his team. His team has been in touch with congressional members from both sides of the aisle,” she said.

"Biden has remained conspicuously absent outside a brief statement issued by his press secretary — and for now, Democrats said there was little clamor for him to return," Politico reported Thursday, one day after Elon Musk and President-elect Donald Trump scuttled the first bipartisan spending bill.
The article said that despite the scramble to avert a government shutdown, "no one seemed to be looking to Biden for answers — and the lame-duck president gave no indication he had any desire to provide them."
"I haven’t gotten any message from President Biden, or heard of anything that he’s saying," California Democratic Rep. Mark Takano told Politico, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wouldn't say he's been in touch with Biden, only that he's been in "close contact with the administration."As Politico put it, "Democrats appeared largely fine with Biden taking a back seat."
Even during a caucus meeting among House Democrats, "there’d been no contemplation of Biden’s own views on the stalemate" with members instead "pointedly referring to Musk as ‘President Musk.’"
Biden allies argued the silence was "a strategic decision" to position Trump to "take the blame for any shutdown…damaging him politically even before he takes office."
Still, Politico reported Democrats have only spoken to White House staffers during this time, with no confirmations of a direct line to the current president.

Politico’s report followed a bombshell report from the Wall Street Journal which revealed several members of Biden’s staff noticed his diminishing stamina as far back as 2021 during the first few months of his presidency.

One didn't need to be too clever to pin the "President Musk" label on him. It's obvious for anyone to see that his personality and reach is eclipsing Trump's. We don't need the "media" to see what's obvious.shecky said:

President Joe Biden spoke with Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill on Friday, the White House said, the first time the administration has confirmed that Biden is involved with Congressional negotiations to avoid a government shutdown.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said “just moments” before an afternoon press briefing, Biden spoke with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
“Also, just to add that the president does indeed get regular updates. He has been getting ready regular updates from his team,” Jean-Pierre said. “His team has been in touch with members, congressional members from both sides of the aisle, and certainly he will continue to stay updated.”
Asked why the president hadn’t spoken to the American people or been more involved in negotiations, Jean-Pierre said Biden has “had this approach before.”
“He understands how Congress works,” she said. “He’s been around for some time. He understands what strategy works here to get this done. So, this is not, this is not the first time.”
She also continued to place the blame squarely on Republicans for the potential shutdown.

I hope you understand that Trump supported the original deal until Musk came out on X against it, and then Trump changed his mind. Now if I was cynical, I might say that the reason Musk was against the original deal was the provision that limited business investment in China, investment that Tesla is gearing up to make to support in semiconductors, AI and quantum technology. But that would be cynical to think that the billionaire foreigner running a shadow gov't would lie on X about a deal to advance his personal interests.shecky said:
