And I don’t believe I read one “big,” “beautiful,” “ever known,” or “greatest of all time,” in his announcement and answers to follow up questions. Nor any made up word salad answers that have no relation to the questions asked or POTUS calling a reporter nasty or fake news. Imagine that?

nor did he regale everyone with tales of how he won the electoral college like nobody has ever seen.

So you're saying he sounded "Presidential?!?!?" My goodness. What a concept!

No, Biden reads presidential but if you listen to him talk he sounds more retirement home

Well, it's true, the man is 79 years old. The thing is, I seriously doubt Biden would have run for president against a more rational, sane, and ethical republican candidate. But Biden knew he had a chance to win, and like many of us, he was massively concerned about Trump being re-elected. Biden ran, won, and prevented that from happening. Maybe instead of grousing about his age, we should be thanking our lucky stars we didn't end up with four more years of Trump. And in the mean time, let's do whatever it takes to not have Trump elected again.

Sounding or reading, it's clearly better than what we had with Trump. I wish the bar was not so low, but alas, here we are...

Yeah, for sure. Let's hope that bar gets raised one day.

And you can bet they are deterring Putin to some degree. He's not going to admit that on the 11 o'clock news for fucks sake

It's a silly question, on the premise. Reporters ask binary questions but the world isn't binary. If sanctions didn't stop Putin does that mean we should not have done sanctions? What were the other options? 1. Go to war 2. Do nothing?

Exactly...

I don’t have an issue with Brandon’s response to the sanctions question, given the context of the full exchange.

Q    Thank you, President Biden. If sanctions cannot stop President Putin, what penalty can?
     THE PRESIDENT: I didn’t say sanctions couldn’t stop him.
Q    But you’ve been talking about the threat of these sanctions for several weeks now —
     THE PRESIDENT: Yes, but the threat of the sanctions and imposing the sanctions and seeing the effect of the sanctions are two different things.
     Q    Okay, but —
     THE PRESIDENT: They’re two different things. And we’re now going to — he’s going to begin to see the effect of the sanctions.
Q    And what will that do — how will that change his mindset here, given he’s attacking Ukraine as we speak?
     THE PRESIDENT: Because it will so weaken his country that he’ll have to make a very, very difficult choices of whether to continue to move toward being a second-rate power or, in fact, respond.
     Q    You said, in recent weeks, that big nations cannot bluff when it comes to something like this. You recently said that the idea of personally sanctioning President Putin was on the table. Is that a step that you’re prepared to take? And if not —
     THE PRESIDENT: It’s not a bluff; it’s on the table.
     Q    Sanctioning President Putin?
     THE PRESIDENT: Yes.
     Q    Why not sanction him today, sir? Why not sanction him today, sir?
Q    Mr. President —
     Q    Mr. President, if I can, you detailed some severe and swift new sanctions today and said the impact it will have over time, but given the full-scale invasion, given that you’re not pursuing disconnecting Russia from what’s called “SWIFT” — the international banking system — or other sanctions at your disposal, respectfully, sir, what more are you waiting for?
THE PRESIDENT: Specifically, the sanctions we’ve imposed exceed SWIFT. The sanctions we imposed exceed anything that’s ever been done. The sanctions we imposed have generated two thirds of the world joining us. They are profound sanctions. Let’s have a conversation in another month or so to see if they’re working.
     Yes.

what's funny about your "not one big beautiful" etc comment was, before I read your post, I was about to comment on his last answer and the parts I bolded sound exactly like Trump. lol

I think he just sounds like an intelligent man that has battled speech disability his entire life.

I'd be willing to bet that Trump has never used the word "profound" in his life. And it's true about the sanctions. I'm fairly certain these sanctions exceed anything that was done to South Africa or anyone else.

They're true, though. When Trump uses words like that to describe his own company and administration (best economy ever)--they're easily disputable. These Russia sanctions are actually historic.

Yeah the difference is truth. Lots of politicians make exaggerations but basically anything coming out of tRump's mouth was just bloviating bullshit.

have I? Or have you? Cause I see the guy occasionally losing his way, but speaking about very specific globally relevant topics and knowing very deeply what he's talking about. that's not dementia (to me).

having a stutter isn't about just stammering. it can lead to a loss of concentration, forgetting what you were last speaking about, minor confusion, etc.

I’ve never heard that, and I’ve stuttered my whole life.
My dad thought he could cure me by making me practice talking. So in the 3rd grade he would have me recite my times tables to practice talking. Within just a couple weeks my teacher would send me next door to the 4th class for math lessons…but I still stuttered.

OnWis97 · March 2022

I have a friend from college who has a stutter. In terms of cognition, it's nothing. At least that's what I think...he's a really smart guy.

And I do think that's part of what's going on with Biden. But he's not as sharp as he used to be, which makes sense given his age. But is he the ideal person to hold that job? I don't think so. He's only there because the Dems did not have a deep bench and he's connected to Obama while still not coming across as a hard-core liberal.

The Dems really need to get a couple people into the national fold. Obama is the last person to really ascend and he did that 15 years ago.

#46 President Joe Biden
