…I read this morning that he’s said he’ll step down only if it’s medical advise to…

That would help the Democrats,
they have many ready to take his place.



In an interview on B.E.T.
Biden, with his Covid -19 jumping on him,
said if a Doctor said he should stand down,
he would.

Oops!

Jesus, hope he'll be okay.

Even something which actually is "just a cold" can be dangerous at his age.

He is being so stubborn I expect the might try and actually kill him off....

I think the post above yours is the reason he's got Covid. It means he can go into hiding for a bit.

If i really wanted to go down the conspiracy path, i could say they invented the covid story to try and damp down the increasing calls for him to stand down

He doesn't seem to understand that he is actually now harming his legacy by insisting he is the only one capable of taking on Trump

It is odd to hear Covid talked about in these terms now-a-days to be fair. We all had it a couple of weeks back and it's just such a non event these days. It goes around the schools constantly, my eldest has had it like 5 times :facepalm:.

She did manage to bring home whooping cough earlier in the year though which was much less fun, her mum and sister caught that from her. I dodged that one. 1980's Ayrshire had superior vaccines, clearly.

Coughing joe, soon to be coffin joe, hopefully.

Patiently awaiting the same people who branded similar comments about Trump "Toterly desgustang!!" to tell you off for this.

BIDEN: "Look at the heat I'm getting because I, I named a, uh, the, uh,
secretary of defense — the black man" 🥴

short video is here: https://x.com/RNCResearch/status/1813781294972829893

He said "a black man" and the context was a discussion about people (racists) being annoyed about certain appointments to high profile positions, such as black people.

Fake news big yawn zero surprises.

keep sipping the MSM kool aid.....


:skull:

That is what he actually said though, he said he was getting heat from racist people because he named the secretary of defense a black man. He is pretty hard to understand though, his speech is getting very bad

Which racist people are they who were giving him heat?

I haven't heard anything about it other than here - literally my only source is watching the video you posted yourself, without an agenda :joker:

I think this is part of the issue - he's misquoted and misinterpreted (sometimes genuinely, sometimes on purpose) because a lot of the time he does say things that sound totally garbled and nonsensical.

Being totally honest though the disingenuous misinterpretation isn't really needed -- his declining ability to communicate clearly is reason enough to say he's not really fit to be POTUS at this point. It's a pretty crucial aspect of the position :umm2:.

I have no idea, I'm just commenting on the what he said in the video :shrug:

Oh yeah definitely, I can't believe the party hasn't replaced him already, he's an embarrassment at this stage

Sounds like he was just projecting his ignorance on to others that had nothing to do with what he said, to me.
