    Stoic: Well, now there is. Watch the video.

    Cowpoke: blah, blah, blah
    All of which conveniently ignores the fact that someone feels it necessary to provide him with instructions for walking into a room and taking a seat.

    And given how far and fast old Joe is deteriorating before us, I'll wager those scribbled notes involved which ice cream cone he wanted as a reward if he didn't make an utter fool out of himself.

    I wonder if they had one of his keepers dressed in a bunny suit ready to burst into the room and step in front of Biden, waving their arms and dragging him off in case of Level 1 Duffer Gone Off the Reservation Alert. I mean simply killing the feed to his mic won't work in this sort of situation.

    I've only noticed because his views on them are so similar to my own.
    In the first 3-6 months of Biden's administration he surprised me by actually doing some good things. So I praised him for temporarily exceeding my super-low expectations.

    But about 6 months in it became clear that the Senate Republicans and Manchin / Sinema weren't going to vote for things Biden wanted to do, and he basically gave up trying at that point. It's been pretty sad to watch since then. Even if he feels powerless to deal with the Senate, there are still plenty of executive orders he could pass that he hasn't been.

    The point is, we don't know that he needed it.

    And you seem to think that him scribbling stuff on the back somehow makes it less a fiasco.
    Does anybody type up little lists like that for you to get through a meeting?

Or why "they" feel like they need to send a costumed staffer out to literally wave in his face in order to distract him from answering simple questions posed by the press (like we saw at the White House Easter event). And on the list goes. You might be able to explain away one or two of them, but you can't explain away all of them.
    When he was signing the new gun legislation, Jill was hovering over him, and nobody else in the room. She's watching like she's really hoping he signs in the right place.

    (You don't think Jill is "they", do you?) (naw.... Jill can't be "they")

    We never denied there was scribbling on the back.
    If you woulda watched the VIDEO, you would have seen it for yourself.
    It's WHY we got to see his cheat sheet -- he screwed up.
    He wasn't supposed to show the front side, and by looking at his scribbling on the backside, he exposed his cheat notes somebody else prepared for him.

    I TOLD you I'd take your word for it...
    Yeah, well, if you had done just a teenie little checking into it before shooting your mouth off....

    Seriously, what Chief Executive has a Cheat Sheet prepared for himself to tell him what to do and when?

    You'd look a lot less foolish if you'd just say, "yeah, that's weird".

    This here is what us old farts call "VIDEO"....

    You really coulda found that if you looked just a little.
