Who's Running the Show?

[Estonut]

Those who still believe that Biden is competent and in charge of his administration, please explain this:

Spoiler

Unfortunately, he wasn't told not to show his cheat sheet to his audience...

[BackInTex]

I wonder what the question he is supposed to ask Liz Shuler is. Something pre-written, and so, it it on the other side of the agenda? If not, oops.

Their gonna be in a lotta trouble when he forgets how to read.

But at least he doesn't post nasty tweets, so there's that.

I suspect that ever president has a list like that prepared for him, in order to keep things on schedule as much as possible. Just because we have a picture of one for Biden doesn't mean that other presidents didn't have similar lists.

Right

Not an excuse, I just imagine that it's the case that every president gets such a list. No way to prove or disprove it, nor am I stating it as a fact. After all the president has a lot to deal with.

I sincerely doubt it, ear. I would think instructions for a fully functional human being would be verbal.

Maybe. We just don't know. Until a former president comes out and says that this is uncommon, or is business as usual, we just don't know.

Yeah, let's put aside common sense for now.

LOL! Biden apologists put aside common sense a LOOONNNNGGGG time ago.

[flockofseagulls104]

Don't worry, ear. I'm sure there are hundreds of well-funded groups and individuals that have produced well-honed and polished excuses for this photo that are online already. Just google it.
I'm confident my stalker has found one already and has posted it with a slam at me added. After all, that's his self-appointed mission in life.

Well, that eliminates TFG.

Stuff happens. This is from a 2013 article, https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna53782665

And I apologize to you and the viewers for the teleprompter malfunction at the beginning of this. You know, you make fun of how people on TV become so reliant on that and then you feel it up there and you have sympathy for anyone.

I remember a teleprompter malfunction that caused President Ford to repeat something he'd already said in a speech. I looked and looked but couldn't find it. I thought it was the Whip Inflation Now speech, but maybe I thought that because it was the most famous of Ford's speeches. Well, except the speech where he announced he pardoned Nixon.

The White House should invest in better teleprompters then. Seems to happen almost every day.

Don't you just hate it when Presidents have to rely on notes:

What I hate are fake pictures. Well, thay maybe a real picture, but the writing is too good and the thumb nail.... no way would Donald have such rough nails.,

Plus, if it is 'real' at least he wrote it himself.

Sorry, Ear, but I don't believe anyone else had a list like that. Notes, agenda items, bullet points - for sure, but read his list again.

He is told which room to enter and told to say "hello."
He is told when to take his seat.
He is told to ask one question and has to be reminded that she will not be there in person.
He is told to thank the participants.
He is told when to leave.

This looks more like notes for a child's first back-to-school night meeting than what should be required for a competent leader of the free world.

It takes so much mental gymnastics and denial in order to be a functioning liberal these days. Must be exhausting. Luckily, they have a lot of help in the media, which has devoted itself to fueling the delusions required.

You may think it's funny that President Biden carries around a cheat card that tells him exactly what to do and when to do it. As it turns out, this is a common technique used by several presidents throughout our nation's great history. We bet you feel silly now, don't you?

Here are a few examples of presidential cheat cards through the years:

Thomas Jefferson: YOU do not have sexual relations with THAT slave.
William Henry Harrison: YOU wear YOUR overcoat or YOU die.
Millard Fillmore: Nobody remembers who YOU are.
Abraham Lincoln: YOU don't forget to look behind YOURSELF at the theater.
William Howard Taft: YOU are too fat for YOUR bathtub. (Historian's Note: Taft was notorious for not sticking to the cheat card.)
FDR: YOU roll into YOUR seat.
Richard Nixon: YOU are NOT a CROOK.
Gerald Ford: YOU pardon NIXON. (Historian's Note: Nixon added this to the bottom of Ford's cheat sheet in scribbled pencil.)
George Bush, Sr.: YOU ask THEM to read YOUR lips.
Bill Clinton: YOU don't have sexual relations with THAT woman.
George W. Bush: YOU start an unjustified war for YOUR dad.
Barack Obama: YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU
Donald J. Trump: YOU grab the steering wheel of YOUR limo from YOUR secret service agent to save the election YOU won.
Hillary Clinton: YOU aren't PRESIDENT.
