If you thought Barack's tan suit was embarrassing, wait till you hear this:

[Atticus]

At his press conference today----Joe had NOTES!

Seriously, FOX----that's all ya got? I know you are used to a White House resident who prefers ignorant stream-of-consciousness blather that made Palin seem downright eloquent, but the overwhelming majority of this nation actually prefer thoughtful, honest, and straightforward remarks from a POTUS who is an unpretentious and decent man.

[lagomorph777]

1. ...and he is capable of referencing and reading his notes.

...and...that's a BAD thing?

[catbyte]

2. And apparently they were all indignant because he didn't call on Doochy.

[Whiskeytide]

14. Joe was afraid he'd mispronounce his name and say something profane. n/t

[wryter2000]

3. My smelling salts...stat!

This is the end, I tell you. The end of Biden's presidency. From now on, he's a lame duck who will never be able to accomplish anything. I hear he isn't even bipartisan. His morning coffee isn't bipartisan. His limo isn't bipartisan. Air Force One now has a radical, left agenda that will never get the 60 votes necessary to get a bill out of the Senate.

And he's responsible for a surge...a surge, I tell you...at the Southern Border.

Oh, the humanity!

[GopherGal]

32. Sorry, I cannot give your remarks any credibility

because you refused to call it a "crisis" instead of a surge.


And you didn't even mention the vicious animal he's allowing to prowl around the White House nipping at Secret Service Agents.

[wryter2000]

35. And he didn't address the most important question of the day

Did his son lie on an application to get a gun and then dump the gun in a dumpster behind a store? He never did explain the laptop.

[malaise]

4. How dare Biden have notes

He should pull shit out of his ass like the shitshow performer

[Raven123]

5. Heaven forbid we have a POTUS who values accurate responses rather than insulting the questioner

[Rebl2]

12. You mean

to tell me he didn’t say to any reporter their questions were stupid!

[teach1st]

6. Trump notes

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-takes-direct-aim-at-china-as-known-us-infections-double-and-criticism-mounts/2020/03/19/6df10828-6a06-11ea-abef-020f086a3fab_story.html

[GoCubsGo]

7. His predecessor frequently used a teleprompter, which they'll never admit.

This, in spite of mocking Obama for using one. A lot of the big words were spelled out phonetically, because he's illiterate. Biden did it with just some notes. Yes, it was VERY refreshing, especially after four years of Trump's pity parties of incessant whining and hate-spewing.

[leftieNanner]

10. Hmmm. You mean "thigh-land" and "yo-se-myte"?

[3catwoman3]

22. His butchering of Yosemite was one...

...for the ages.

Didn’t Palin’s handlers have to do the same thing for her?

How humiliating.

[leftieNanner]

23. We can't expect the President of the United States

to know about ALL of those foreign (sounding) places, now can we?

SMDH

[NurseJackie]

26. OMG! Did he really say thigh-land? I missed that one! (But I heard yo-se-myte LIVE as it happened.)

[leftieNanner]

27. Yes he did!

His idiocy has no limit!

[NurseJackie]

28. I also saw (live) when he was talking about the devastation in "Pleasure" (instead of Paradise)

You can see how his brain is working to find the name of the city... he's found a word that also begins with the letter P and he's made a sexual association with it, so he quickly comes up with "Pleasure". He doesn't even realize he's wrong. He repeats it and only then will his handlers and hosts correct him.

[leftieNanner]

30. Oh, Jeez, I remember that

I have some friends who lost everything in that fire.

For that cruel asshole to show up there made me enraged.

The town of Pleasure, California. Good Grief.

[Atticus]

33. Let's not forget "Button" and "Nipple"---for Bhutan and Nepal! nt

[NurseJackie]

38. He's a truly creepy and disgusting man. It makes my flesh crawl.

Don't forget "Tim Apple"

[PatSeg]

49. Oh my god, with Trump

it was almost a daily occurrence, even if he was reading scripted remarks. The man was an absolute disaster and got far too many free passes.

To the very end of his presidency, he STILL referred to the 1918 Flu as the 1917 Flu. I swear he did it on purpose just to piss me off.

[Evolve Dammit]

54. How about the country Nipple? Never even went to Africa in 4 years. Not once. Racist POS.

[louis-t]

8. I'll repeat: And not once did he say

"you're a terrible reporter". Nice to have an adult in charge again.

[PatSeg]

50. Or accuse a network of being "fake news"

Ah, the memories. Sometimes it is easy to forget how truly awful he was.

[gldstwmn]

9. The last guy looked like a Cheeto

and no one ever made mention of that.

[LittleGirl]

11. I'm so impressed with Biden

He’s exceeded my expectations! Yay!

[Irish_Dem]

13. When I was younger, I had an almost photographic memory, and used notes.

I always brought my notes with me even though I knew most of the material.
But I wanted to make sure I covered all my talking points in case I got sidetracked for any reason. And even I could forget things.

Now that I have had some head injuries and illnesses which killed brain cells, my memory is the same as most people in my age group, maybe worse!

[lunatica]

15. My mother would ask you

Are you bragging or complaining? I sure miss her wit.

[Irish_Dem]

16. Ha, love it. She sounds like she was sharp as a tack.

She would be right, a good memory or bad memory has good and bad points.

Because I had such a good memory, I could spit out tons of information, but didn't have to rely on critical thinking skills as much as I should have. So it was a deficit I think.

[lunatica]

17. We all lean too much on our strengths

to the detriment of our weaknesses. It’s human nature. We usually get it at some point in our lives though, so there is redemption sometimes.

[Irish_Dem]

20. You make good points. I like the way you phrased it.

"We lean too much on our strengths to the detriment of our weaknesses."

And yes, hopefully at some point we get the bigger picture and make some changes.

[keithbvadu2]

19. When folks say we're sharp as... , they don't mention which end.

When folks say we're sharp as... , they don't mention which end.

We'll take whatever credit we can.

[Irish_Dem]

21. The orange F- wad in a tuxedo pic was taken at Buckingham Palace next to the Queen.

There were so many things wrong with his outfit, it was a disgrace.

His tailor must hate him.

The same with his wife, her clothes are awful too.

Obama of course is so handsome and impeccably dressed.

[maddiemom]

56. Actually he wasn't NEXT to the Queen, but more BARGING in front of her.

[Irish_Dem]

57. Yes committing one major faux pas after another. What a buffoon he is.

[3catwoman3]

25. President Obama totally rocked...

...that suit. I remember thinking, “Damn!” When I saw him in it.

[George II]

41. There's this one, too:

[keithbvadu2]

43. Is that verified by Little Marco Rubio?

Is that verified by Little Marco Rubio?

Or Stormy?

[I_UndergroundPanther]

47. Bwahahaha😹

[GopherGal]

51. I can't look at this without thinking of the board game "Mystery Date"

Part of the game board was a little door that you opened up (after rotating the little knob to pseudo-randomize) to see if you got the "date" your cards prepared you for. There were various "dates" including a prom. The one you didn't want to get was "the Dud". I think either of the two middle pictures looks perfectly suited to be "the Dud". (As, IIRC, QEII's expression in her photos with each of the two formally clad presidents accurately reflected.)

[lunatica]

46. We all lean too much on our strengths

to the detriment of our weaknesses. It’s human nature. We usually get it at some point in our lives though, so there is redemption sometimes.

[malaise]

18. ignorant stream-of-consciousness blather

You have a way with words

[Atticus]

36. Thang cue! Thang cue verra much! nt

[UCmeNdc]

24. We should start calling reporters ignorant when they have ignorant public comments.

Just call them dummies right on the spot.

[tanyev]

29. OMG! And he didn't even suggest doctors try injecting disinfectant into people!

[George II]

31. Unfortunately he's being bashed on Twitter by the right wing idiots like Kayleigh McEnany and....

....Steve Guest because his notes were "White House guidance"! Unbelievable.

Um, Kayleigh, who is living in the White House?

[calimary]

37. And what's so damn horrible about a few notes?

I take notes all the time to remember a point, a choice turn of phrase, a quote, a wording of an issue that I liked and may want to use. All the time!!! Sometimes I feel like that’s all I do: take notes.

Taking notes is important! Especially if you’re at his level and you want to make rock-solid-sure you said or described something correctly. Because YOU’LL be held accountable for that point and taken to task for it, especially by reporters hungry for a “gotcha” moment they could later brag about or regale a crowd of dinner companions where they’re the featured speaker.

[George II]

39. They're not used to being around anyone who cared about being accurate or could read.

[nolabear]

42. Fortunately she spelled "feat" as "feet."

They just can’t win for losing. 🤣

[ShazzieB]

53. Well, her feats stink, and her feet probably do, too.

Yeah, I know that was juvenile. I'll see myself out now.

[BobTheSubgenius]

34. I read that he once wore brown shoes with a dark blue suit.

The President is a monster.

[central scrutinizer]

48. Brown shoes don't make it

[ailsagirl]

40. Frankly...

I think President Obama looks good whatever he’s wearing!! 👍

[ShazzieB]

52. So does President Biden.

Two rall, trim guys who can look good in anything!

[ailsagirl]

55. That's right!!! nt

[COL Mustard]

44. But But But....

I thought that other Irish President O'Bama was feeding Old Sleepy Joe instructions through his earpiece. You mean that's not it?!?!? Gadzooks! What are we to believe!!!!

[WinstonSmith4740]

45. Notes also help in controlling a stutter.

Remember that young boy at the convention who spoke about how Biden took him aside to teach him some of the techniques he used to overcome his stutter? He said that using notes was one of the ways...I guess it keeps points organized.
