'Um, what the hell': Biden appears confused in bizarre exchange
2023-02-26
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S., who gives the term geriatric a bad name. He blames Afghans for losing Afghanistan....
fumbled around his words as he tried to explain why he still has no plans to visit East Paleostine after a toxic train derailment devastated the small Ohio community.

As he was leaving the White House on Friday to head to his Wilmington, Delaware residence, a news hound asked Biden if he was going to travel to East Paleostine after his administration had been accused of ignoring the city's plight.

The president answered, 'At this point, I'm not,' but then he appeared confused and strained as he tried to explain himself.

'I did a whole video, I mean, um, what the hell, on,' Biden rambled as he looked for news hounds to fill in the gap.

'Zoom?' one of the news hounds said, trying to help the president.

'Zoom! All I can think of every time I think of Zoom is that song in my generation, Who's Zoomin' Who,' he said, referencing the Aretha Franklin
...The Queen of Soul. She denies ever having been in a fistfight with Patti Labelle...
song.

The odd exchange comes as the Biden administration (aka the Wilmington comorra)
...the gang of subgeniuses trying to pass themselves off as the adults in charge of the series of calamities characteristic of the administration of a mentally challenged geriatric case...
is under fire for its alleged slow response to the disaster, where toxic chemicals were released into the air near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border on February 3, prompting 5,000 people to evacuate.

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability has now opened an investigation against Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg
...the testicleless former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, since 2012. Buttigieg graduated from Harvard and, on a Rhodes Scholarship, from Pembroke College, Oxford. Buttigieg was first elected mayor of South Bend in 2011 and was reelected in 2015. During his second term, he announced he was gay, which surprised no one. He ran for the Dem nomination in 2020 on the theory that being mayor of a nondescript medium sized city is qualification to run the country. A Secretary of Transportation in the Biden administration he he was on maternity leave when the supply chain fell apart...
for his alleged 'apathy' after waiting 20 days to visit the city.

#8  Well, if Ohio was considered (like multiple other states) a "swing state" before, then I hope Ohioans do the right thing come November 2024.

#7  If for some reason you feel Washington doesn't give a second thought to folks in 'fly-over' country, you're probably on to something.

#6  Joe’s advisors probably understood this could not be fixed after Trump went through and had his show. Now the game will be a race by the candidates to beat Trump to the next disaster site with water, etcetera. I don’t think Nikki Haley will pull it off. Her highest priority is donor meetings. Joe will not be able to quick react due to whatever medical regime allows him to make periodic coherent statements. The other declared candidates are irrelevant.
Another interesting question is whether Joe can go on vacation before visiting East Palestine. I think that is why Buttigieg slunk through.

#1  He must have been tired, I mean, after all, it was announced that he got a clean bill of health from his doctor.

Actually, that's fine by me. The longer he hangs in there (barring any impeachment), the better the chance Kamala does not get to sit in the Oval Office.
