    Potus is going to address the nation on Thursday:
    'Joe Biden will deliver a primetime address on Thursday to mark one year since the start of the coronavirus pandemic lockdowns, White House press secretary Jen Psaki just announced.

    The speech will be Biden’s first primetime address since becoming president, and Psaki said he will use the speech to once again pay his respects to the more than 500,000 Americans who have died of coronavirus.' Guardian.

    What

    I think they are trying to allude that presidents ailments can be hidden from the public, dunno why they picked FDR when Reagan would be a far more recent and wider known example

    I don't think FDR was massively successful. Indeed I think he was just trying to mask the full extent of his illness as opposed to hide it entirely.

    Hard to judge him mentally and physically until he leaves the White House and heads out onto the world stage

    Yeah get that but there are arguments against the public not knowing FDR used a wheelchair, given for example, Time publishing a picture of him in one back in 1937.

    Has he done a full press conference yet ? or how about a state of the union ?


    I think you're being misinformed online by people with no respect for your intelligence because you're repeating a question that I've seen being spread by liars and idiots.


    The question I'm talking about is the one about Biden giving a state of the union speech. The reason that I bring it up is that there is no SOTU speech in the first month of anyone's term in recent memory. For example, there wasn't one in 2017, 2009, or 2001. It's just not a thing.


    Which brings me back to your question and what motivated it. I mentioned earlier that I had seen the question doing the rounds from the liars who know better and their gullible marks. I've shown you that it's not even a thing in the first month or so. And yet, you posted it here, clearly thinking that it was actually a thing.



    You need to ask yourself why the types of people who you find credible would be so wrong about something. Are they just stupid? Are the liars laughing at you for believing it? Is there anything you can do to stop yourself falling for nonsense? Do you even want to?

    OK, how about the State of the Union address?


    It's not a thing. Stop following liars and idiots in your social media. The liars have nothing but contempt for you.


    Think about it for just a second. Would you have your annual review in your first month at work? Of course not. That would be stupid. That's why the SOTU question is stupid.


    Here's the wiki page on it. Trump's first one was on 30/01/2018. He didn't do one in 2017, his first year.

    Perhaps I am just an observer of things, but Joe is making all sorts of feck ups (slips of the tongue) in front of the camera.

    I have said this before he became President, for me he doesn't seem to be someone who is well.

    Having a parent who is the same age, putting the pressure on them at this stage in life to me would be unthinkable.

    I'm not getting into the slagging of Dem V's Rep... I could care less.

    On a pure human level something seems wrong with the man.


    Are you getting this information from the same types of people who tricked you into expecting a SOTU in the first few months?

    It's not generally called the SOTU the first year but they do one..Trump's first one was at the end of Feb..

    The first one does tend to be later than the others though, some not being done until the end of April iirc..

    Given that the stimulus bill was the priority. I'd say the address to the joint sessions will be later in the month.

    Bill, Barack and George didn't.


    Trump gave a speech to a joint session of Congress. He might have thought it was a SOTU and told people that it was a SOTU but that doesn't make it so.

    They all give a speech to a joint session..
    Every other year the same event is called SOTU..

    I'm wondering if that's a typo? STFU?

    So far, biden has been criticised for

    1) doing too much
    2) doing too little
    3) actually not doing anything at all

    Fantastic!

    It's like schrodinger's cat, clearly posters have illustrated quantum theory through Biden. :D

    How did this thread slip back to the "my president is fitter than your president" and "There's 'something' wrong with Joe" posts?

    Biden is infinitely more able than his predecessor physically and mentally, he's also more mentally able and much harder working than Bush Jr was. Excluding Obama, you're probably going back to Clinton and Bush Sr. for more able presidents (then skipping a decade before that...)

    Biden will run in '24, he knows how to beat his most likely opponent (again) and is going to be in charge of a full booming economy post COVID.

    He's also been doing a decent job, so far, of keeping the left and centre wings of the Democrats on track, much to the chagrin of everyone who said otherwise (which does leave him open to attack by the socialists on this thread).

    I honestly think you don't truly believe what you just wrote here.

    Biden is probably just going to see out his first year of his Presidency and he will then be moved aside.

    There hasn't been any signs of him doing particularly well in terms of speaking to the public. He's passable however he seems to struggle occasionally when using the teleprompter and he doesn't take questions or isn't allowed to.

    As far as the Democrats party is concerned they have done a reasonable job.

    What we will see next is Kamala taking over the helm before Bidens cognitive decline progresses.

    I think many people are unwilling to accept that his capabilities have lessened over the years.

    He is after all just a figurehead for the administration. He does what he is told.

    All the while somehow being mentally unfit. It's a confusing world those of a Trumpian persuasion inhabit.

    I wonder if Joe is reading this thread. As if by magic:

    WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden will make his first prime-time address Thursday night to commemorate the one-year anniversary of shutdowns taken across the nation at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.

    Nah, he's just doing things at his pace, making sure the important things get sorted first. He's not an egotistical idiot like the previous fella and doesn't need to get his face on TV everyday or tweet something stupid just so he can sit there watching the "likes" go up.

    So Joe isn't virtue signalling. Thought that.

    It's deplorable this guy is still separating children from their parents.

    Biden White House being rocked by yet another scandal. When will it ever end?!

    Why are Trumpists so obsessed with press conferences? I supposed they got used to watching the former guy make an ass of himself every day. I don't remember previous presidents doing many press conferences, they were likely too busy doing the actual job, as Biden is now.

    Trumpists :D:D

    Trump is gone, it's ok to admit that the new guy in there is barely coherent , this doesn't make someone a "Trumpist" ...

    But it isn't even remotely true. It is simply made up by people who can't accept that Biden is a far superior POTUS than Trump could ever hope to be.

    For a man that is 'barely coherent' he is managing to get an awful lot down in very quick time.

    Stubbling over a few words is not being barely coherent. Everone knows what his plans for the vaccines are, the rollout, his position on masks, what he thinks about governors repealing the requirement for mask wearing, what he wanted in terms of bailout relief, where he stands on climate change and much more.

    Trump supporters wouldn't know competence if it bit them on the ass.

    That "barely coherent" guy obliterated Trump in the debates, the first one was so bad for Trumo that he ran away from.the second one and only came out for the third because he knew he was losing.
