Great idea, get Joe out there so he can prove everyone wrong.

I saw that and laughed at the 89 year old venture capitalist quoted in the article agreeing that more Biden would prove his detractors wrong.

Biden says things that make no sense, but this is a clever reference to the opening cutscene to Zero Wing. Joe Biden is hip with the kids and the current internet jokes.

The Mitterand thing is because he just saw the Birdcage, he's meta, folks, he's operating on 6D chess.

The other honestly really funny thing is that Sisi being called the Mexican is a meme on Egyptian twitter because some guy posted a video of himself to protest high prices and hosed up saying Sisi's name

There's a real possibility Biden was briefed on this meme as it's spreading among anti-sisi folks in Egypt, and then this info caused the Mexico gaffe

I, too, believe that the man that regularly can't even speak human language before wandering off like a wrinkly toddler in the middle of speeches was actually just dropping a subtle hint about an internet meme briefing he had received.

This makes Biden the most powerful shitposter in the world as he retains extremely obscure regional memes from all around the world while not knowing who his wife is, how his son died, when he was vice president or the names of participants in active warzones.

For technocrats who are obsessed with credentials and job competency, the number of gaffes we're expected to forgive because he's an old man is pretty high. I would think the President shouldn't be an average dope, but instead a sort of Buckaroo Banzai type figure -- a physicist, neurosurgeon, test pilot, and rock star, and super hero all in one.

But rather than being what they imagine Obama to be, we instead have a bumbling fool who wants to tell us about the time when Beau was a teenager, and he and that Dobie Gillis boy tried to impress Thalia Menninger by dressing real nice like that rich kid Warren Beatty and speaking about their affairs with older women, but instead accidentally made the entire school think that he was in love with their math teacher Mrs. Adams...

While obviously their words mean nothing and they're used to pivoting entire narratives on command, I do get the feeling how liberals have had to repeatedly discard their entire supposed narratives, motivations and investment repeatedly over the last decade, has taken its toll. I'm pretty sure there's been more and more attrition as the contradictions get too much, and others have checked out.

The weird thing about all of this is Biden obviously already had late stage dementia in 2020 but everyone is acting like it just happened now. He was unintelligible at some of the primary debates and was hidden for the most part outside of some pre-taped and edited interviews but he did have a few lucid moments I assume drug cocktails helped with.

Like just now, in 2024, is the doddering old man going senile. He didn't know who his wife was on the campaign trail and there are credible reports of him literally making GBS threads his pants but NOW he is senile. Now we need to worry.

In 2020, Biden at least had the pandemic as an excuse to hide in his basement. Now his party has declared that Covid Is Over, so he has to get out there and show how dementia addled he is.

At least the State of the Union (if it happens) might be entertaining for the first time in its entire existence.

It's how you close the cognitive dissonance of wanting the status quo to continue because you benefit from it, but also not wanting to appear to be someone who wants the status quo to continue because you are well aware that most people are getting crushed by it and you want people to think you are a good person.

I totally support Good Thing but now's not the right time and you're not going about it the right way and it was probably gonna fail anyway so let's just stay the course. Wait, what do you mean you're gonna try something else to get the results you want? That's not allowed, get your rear end back in line!
