Biden drifts off answering a question during CNN's town hall with Don Lemon, appears to listen to earpiece to get out of incoherent ramble
2021-07-22
[American Thinker] We’ve all seen this before, as has every leader of every country in the world. A sitting President of the United States cannot put together a coherent answer to a simple question. He pauses, appears puzzled, and then comes up with a string of words that appear to have entered his brain via an earpiece. If the stakes weren’t so high, it would be comic.

Wednesday saw the president of the United States engage in a town hall format discussion, on friendly territory with Don Lemon moderating on CNN. It must have been one of those "good days" that dementia sufferers sometime enjoy — in Biden’s case, meaning no "lid" was called, removing the leader of the free world from public scrutiny.

("Calling a lid" is an unprecedented admission that the POTUS is not in full command of his mental faculties and would have Democrats demanding that the 25th Amendment be invoked if a Republican were in office. But Republicans are far too polite and far too scared of the media to make an issue of it with Biden.)

Even with friendliest, least demanding moderator imaginable, Don Lemon, it was a challenge for President Joe Biden to get through the entire hour. His handlers must have believed that that with familiar questions and maybe a good earpiece helping him along, he could handle the challenge.

They were wrong.

Asked an unchallenging question of 12-year-olds and vaccination, he drifted off in the middle of a sentence, and, as he so often does, looked down, got that Deliverance banjo player look on his face, and appeared to be listening to something in his earpiece, and then strung together a sequence of words that were not grammatically related to the rest of the sentence, but which, on their own, were coherent. As if repeating what he just heard.

#11  Disney's Animatronic Biden is being rolled out a month early, probably because RealBiden is fading faster than expected.

In some ways, a failing Biden makes Disney's job easier - instead of trying to simulate a functional human, they just need to fake a senile old guy who can't hold a thought or speak in complete sentences. You will know they have made the swap when Joe suddenly starts making sense and seems perkier if a tad robotic. The sudden improvement will be attributed to vitamins and a new anti-senility drug.

#7  ^-- I'm sure the secret service searches anyone who gets within range. but good idea. Having him state something like "Hey man, I'm only here because we stuff the the ballot box!" would be interesting...

Question:
Why hasn't someone ran a Spectrum scanner to figure out the Freq. for the B-Boy's Ear Piece receiver?

If successful they could feed him different talking points,
recite Mary Had a Little Lamb. Or at the least jam it or cause a massive feed-back.

A pocket / smart ph. size device is under $250 and even I have had one for for detecting illegal WIFI office connections for years.
