President Easter Bunny

[rogue06]

I picked the title because that appears to be who is in charge.

A video from the Easter Egg hunt at the White House where the "Easter Bunny" runs over while old Joe is talking about his horribly bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan with a few guests and reporters, cuts in between them waving its arms as he was talking, and then gives Biden a little push to send him on his way.

Biden had just said, "Pakistan should not and Afghanistan should be -- people should be free..." when the Easter Bunny ran up interrupting him and quickly ushered him away in what appears to be an effort to avoid yet another gaffe.

The Easter Bunny has been identified as being Meghan Hays, a special assistant to the president and White House press official who is the director of message planning.

Meghan McCain, daughter of late Arizona Senator John McCain, and former co-host of The View who was run off after she had served her purpose, tweeted the following:

One look at his face shows that Biden was visibly annoyed by the interruption, but if wants an ice cream cone he better do as he's told.

After Joe was waved off by the costumed staffer, he wandered around aimlessly for several seconds until another staffer told him where to go. You could almost hear him thinking, "Am I the only one seeing a giant white rabbit?"

At this same event, Jill refused to allow Joe to read a children's book to attending children, and she loudly gave him directions when they were on stage together, at one point ordering him to "Stay!" when he started to get out of his seat. He gave the laughing audience a sheepish look and said, "She told me to stay where I am," and Jill said, "It's okay, I'm a school teacher!" Huh?

And this after Barack openly humiliated him at an event a couple weeks back where he amused the audience by referring to Joe as vice president.

She may be an educrat (and when was the last time she taught a class) but he is not one of her students. Supposedly he is the president of the United States (POTUS) -- but you could never tell by the way everyone treats him like an errant six year old.

They treat him like a man suffering from cognitive decline, which is exactly what he is.

OK, it makes sense - when he finished a speech the other day he turned to shake a hand - but nobody was there! It was Harvey!

Exactly. The only legitimate reason to treat him in this manner is that he's a prime candidate for being 25A'd

How DARE you bring up the 25th Amendment! That sort of talk is beyond the pale. You'd never see a democrat tolerate such talk about a president!

It seems that the NYT is uncritically parroting a claim that there were "30,000 or so" attendees on the White House lawn.

That lawn is pretty darn big but to hold +30,000 there would have been no large open spaces to conduct the hunt in or have egg rolling contests etc. If there were +30,000 there, old Joe's keepers couldn't have even seen him talking unscripted to reporters, much less rushed over to stop him.

Perhaps it's was 30,000 total throughout the duration of the event, and not 30,000 all at the same time.

A lot being made of Jill having to tell old Joe about to wave at the end of his introduction to the Easter celebration on the White House lawn

but honestly unless she's been practicing her ventriloquism, because her lips aren't moving, that isn't her. Perhaps the Easter Bunny again?


But since then we've had another moment of confusion from the old duffer

Source: Biden’s decline is obvious to everyone but the press

Something is wrong with President Joe Biden, and everyone knows it.

Last week, Biden was asked if his administration will consider delaying the end of Title 42, a pandemic immigration restriction that allows for fast deportation of migrants illegally crossing our border in the name of stopping the circulation of COVID-19.

Biden started rambling. “No. What I’m considering is continuing to hear from my — my — First of all, there’s gonna be an appeal by the Justice Department. Because as a matter of principle, we want to be able to be in a position where if, in fact, it is strongly concluded by the scientists that we need Title 42 that we’d be able to do that. But there has been no decision on extending Title 42.”

It turned out he was talking about mask mandates on airplanes and other forms of transportation. That raises the issue of consistency: If the administration will continue to push masks on planes because COVID is still a threat, isn’t Title 42 protecting against that same threat?

But it would at least be nice if the president knew what he was talking about.

This isn’t simply misspeaking. He seems fully out of it, and we’re all watching quietly.

On Friday, Biden tried to comment on Florida’s new Parental Rights in Education law and came out with this word salad: “There’s nothing conservative about deciding you’re going to throw Disney out of its present posture because Mickey Mouse? In fact, do you think we should be not be able to say, you know, ‘gay’? I mean, what’s going on here?”

What is going on here, indeed? Is the president OK? He doesn’t seem like it.

On Easter Monday, a reporter at the White House asked Biden about Afghanistan. As he started answering the question, a staffer in an Easter bunny costume appeared, waving her arms in front of Biden’s face and ushering him along to a different part of the event.

It’s funny, sure, but it’s also kind of scary. Who is really running the show at the White House? The president often makes comments about what he’s “allowed” to say, how many press questions he’s permitted to take and which specific reporters he can call on. Who is making these decisions? Is Joe Biden the president or not?

Who was even in that bunny costume?! (It appears it was Meghan Hays, the White House director of message planning.)

It’s also hard to forget that during the Donald Trump years, the president’s acumen was full-on debated and often.

Brian Stelter, of CNN’s most-misnamed show, “Reliable Sources,” had actor Robert De Niro on to discuss Trump’s mental capacity. The network also favored medical opinions from Trump’s enemies like Anthony Scaramucci.

When Trump joked about buying Greenland from Denmark, MSNBC furrowed its collective brows and featured Dr. Lance Dodes, former assistant psychiatry professor at Harvard Medical School, to talk about the president’s mental decline. Dodes contributed to a book about the subject without, of course, ever having examined Trump.

But now we’re supposed to disregard what we see with our own eyes. Many of us have had our own confused grandpa, starting one story and finishing another or rambling from one topic to the next nonsensically.

Grandpa sometimes wanders. The trouble is this confused grandpa has a bit more power than your own.

In August, during another confused stretch for the president, CNN’s Chris Cillizza wrote about various Republican officials questioning Biden’s awareness: “This is the sort of gross, lowest-common-denominator politics that drive people away from public life. If Republicans have some sort of proof that Biden is declining, they should bring it forward. If they don’t, they should stop doing what they’re doing. Immediately.”

The proof is in front of our faces, and Cillizza knows it. But perhaps he should check in with Robert De Niro first and see what he thinks.

More and more it's like watching Junior on the old HBO series Sopranos. Everyone called him "boss" but he hadn't been that for several years.

It's like, at this point, it's not really a matter of whether Biden finishes his term or not, it's which event will take him out first -- the Hunter scandal investigation or his mental health? The two seem to be running neck-and-neck towards the finish line. Or will some other unexpected event come out of left field?

[One Bad Pig]

The concern among Democrats is that cackling Kamala might prove to be even worse, and there's no graceful way to remove her.
