Biden’s Jan 19th Press Conference – A Study in Incoherent Mumbling Lies

I took another crack at Dementia Joe’s press conference.  I felt I owed it to the readers to try and watch this thing.  Putting aside mendacity and just concentrating on the cognitive abilities of Biden, I was interested to see just how hard it was for him to answer questions.  And what it comes down to is verbal deterioration.  In most cases he couldn’t remember a relatively simple word and therefore had to string together one syllable words to approximate the meaning.  For instance, at one point Bozo is talking about inflation in meat prices and he was trying to say that three or four dominant producers had formed a cartel and that increasing competition was necessary to avoid price fixing.  But he just couldn’t think of the word “competition.”  The consequence of this kind of cognitive decline is that he talked for almost two and a half hours but barely got out enough information for a normal one-hour press conference.  It’s painful to have to listen to.  And probably convinced anyone under the age of eighty that Biden is senile.

With respect to accuracy, most of the introductory remarks were Joe claiming that he had accomplished so much already that the voters must be trying to catch their breath in astonishment at his achievements.  Apparently the bi-partisan infrastructure and COVID welfare payments were not only incredibly expensive but also critical for the national happiness.  What he can’t explain is why, if all that is true, his approval rating is tanking harder than the Titanic.  So then some of the less sycophantic reporters started asking him about some of those things.  Inflation.  Well, Joe let us know that inflation was just the supply chain problem.  Computer chips in China not available for Ford and Chevy.  No problem!  Joe’s already taking care of that.  Well, no, not yet, but there’s a bill in the House that talks about somehow rebuilding the extremely expensive and very long lead processing pants that build computer chips right here in the United States.  And just talking about it or even enacting legislation will get those plants financed and designed and built in, what?  Five years?

As for gas prices, why, he’s all over that.  He tapped the strategic reserve and brought down the price by a dime for about three weeks.  Who could ask for more than that?  After all, these things are hard!  Hard!  But he is looking for a way to send more natural gas to Europe so that makes us feel better, right?

And the price of food.  Well, we know it’s those lousy meat merchants of death gouging the consumer.  I mean just because their energy costs for refrigeration have also gone through the roof and transportation costs have doubled how could it not be their fault?  Joe will threaten them and who knows it might do something.  Probably force them out of business but, hey, beef’s bad for you anyway.  Just like gasoline and heating oil.  So, stop complaining, you’re just lucky to have good old Joe looking out for your interests and making this economy hum!

Man, that was embarrassing.  Even the most in-the-tank reporters for the Dems were squirming trying to be polite about sinking poll numbers and his string of disasters.  Well, watching a lot of this thing was strangely familiar.  It was like listening to those stem-winders that the geriatric leaders of the Soviet Union or Cuba used to give to their starving people.  All about how the glorious leader was achieving unparalleled success and the people were happy and prosperous.  Hopefully I won’t have to watch another one.

Joe’s in a footrace between his sinking poll numbers and his fading cerebral cortex.  It’s anyone’s guess which will fail first.
