    This is the Atlanta Journal Constitution not National Review or the Washington Times the left can just dismiss out of hand. And this is getting HIGHLY worrisome. He cannot handle the job and it's getting embarrassing how his staff is trying to hide it. That stupid "the president is having the press in this afternoon he has a statement to make, and the channels cut to it and there are all the reporters and he comes out and gives a COVID statement turns around and WALKS OUT!
    And his press conferences tell us nothing, they are deflections and spin. When ask about the border he throws God under the bus, hey it's up to him not me.

    "
    President Joe Biden has not held an open news conference since he took office Jan. 20, the longest stretch of any president over the past 100 years.


    On Wednesday, Biden appeared in a virtual event along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the House Democratic Caucus. Biden was speaking to lawmakers on COVID relief and the ongoing vaccine rollout. He closed his remarks by saying he was happy to take questions from the lawmakers.


    The White House feed was then cut, with no explanation.

    CNN White House reporter Kevin Liptak shared this note with colleagues Wednesday: “As we await word on when President Biden will hold his first solo press conference, an analysis of the past 100 years shows he is behind his 15 most recent predecessors, who all held a solo press conference within 33 days of taking office.”
    https://www.ajc.com/news/nation-wor...-news-conferences/KMZDG4EQHRE2FCS6KUFCWG6QX4/

    Psaki when ask skirted it with this

    "“We look forward to holding a full formal press conference, but in the meantime the president takes questions from the reporters covering the White House regularly, including this morning. And his focus day in and day out is on getting the pandemic under control and putting people back to work. That’s what people elected him to do."

    How about the people elected him to tell us what are his policies and what is he going to do about what faces us. How about we see for ourselves is he capable of the job or not?

    The people that elected see what policies are moving through congress and the number of EO’s by the prior administration that have been placed in the dustbin of history. The people that scream he orchestrated the largest voter fraud in the history of the nation also call him sleep joe, senile and a puppet. I wish they would make up their mind...

    I think he should install a flag that says “f*** your feelings” on the beast, personally.

    Does this mean Biden will no longer be challenging people to a fight or a pushup contest?

    Probably lots of threats from the lunatics who think the election was stolen and dems eat babies. Maybe it’s for safety purposes.

    What does that have to do with what I posted. Biden is not in Congress he's supposed to be the executive running the country and he has been placed in hiding and not allowed to engage the press and the people and instead appears frail and fragle and not capable of the job. The question is what are we going to do about it it can't just be ignored. He has to be told what are these EO's he is signing and in the middle of praising people has to ask who am I praising what am I supposed to do. We can't have a President who hides from the press and the public and when he does show himself is so scripted as to they don't have to worry he will screw the pooch again.

    He is running the country — or would you like him to sign more EO’s and his vice-president act as a tie breaker on more bills?

    Of course he looks old, he is ancient.

    America had to decided between the best of the best and y’all came up with incompetent mentality unfit narcissist and senile mentally unfit puppet.
    Y’all act like a failed state
    Sure we can, that was what happened for the last four years with the exception of the narcissism and whining between trips to the golf course.

    That is why I tried to say over the last four years to trump supporters that they shrugged off because their team was in charge — all of these norms that dear cult leader did and didn’t do, the norms he systematically ignored and dismantled, those are probably gone forever. Since they applauded it Democrats will now ignore it because it has been shown to be ok, and trump supporters will just look like fools for crying about it.

    All the while, America loses.

    Partisans only know hypocrisy.
    They can't remember what happened when their party was in the oval office.

    Even though nothing changed.

    Biden is weak and feeble. He is controlled by a shadow cabal of globalist. He is the shadow president. he's not in control.

    Daily press conferences, regular covid-19 updates, and a ton of work to do as the former guy left him a pandemic and recession and a country in strife.

    But I guess you guys are complaining that he doesn't hold personal press conferences. I guess you have to complain about something.

    He can't string together more than a few sentences without uttering something racist or stupid. Gotta make sure those black folk dont see him on the internet.

    Is he? He’s about to hand over billions to states that PURPOSELY destroyed their own economies and allowed people to riot and burn cities, while the states that were responsible and enforced the law and attempted to soften the blow from COVID, get to pay for it all. Not exactly UNIFYING!!!

    No state PURPOSELY destroyed their own economies.

    As far as who is paying for it, the same states that always pay more than they get back from the Feds....mostly blue states that keep the red states afloat.

    Not sure why, it was a damn low bar.

    He has not ****ed up his response to COVID and lead to the death of more people than necessary.

    He has not yet tried to overturn the outcome of a legal and legit election nor had his followers attack the US Capitol building.

    He has not yet once embarrassed us with a tweet or an insult of some ally.

    True, everything was in place on day one of his administration. He has not yet messed it up.

    True. Trump didn't have his followers attack the capitol.

    He doesn't have to use twitter to get his message out. He has the media on his side. Yes Trump was rude and insulting. Hope you got over it.

    • No-show Joe? VP Harris continues high-level talks without Biden, speaks to Israeli PM Netanyahu
      5 Mar, 2021 16:34

      Vice President Kamala Harris has spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu without President Joe Biden being present, the latest in a series of calls to world leaders usually conducted by the president.
      Harris spoke to Netanyahu on Thursday, with a White House readout of the call saying she “underscored the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to the US-Israel partnership,” and affirmed her opposition to the International Criminal Court prosecuting Israeli soldiers for alleged war crimes.

      Nothing about the call was surprising, as unwavering support for Israel is a given no matter which party is in charge in Washington. However, Biden’s absence was notable.

      Biden spoke to Netanyahu in February, and to President Alejandro Giammattei Falla of Guatemala on Thursday. Yet Harris has taken responsibility for several head-to-head calls with world leaders, most notably Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, French President Emmanuel Macron and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrisson, as well as World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

      That Harris, who had next to no foreign policy experience before coming to the White House, would handle these tasks instead of Biden, who has two stints in the executive branch under his belt already, as well as decades in the Senate, is puzzling. /snip

    Then that is a plus.

    Of course he did. Have you not been paying attention?

    I am over it. Trump is now sitting in Florida getting fatter and no longer an embarrassment to the country.

    Life is good

    Good to see a VP actually do something to earn their salary. Perhaps this will become the norm instead of them just being there for show.

    I see Joe speaking on my TV almost every day (I'm watching)... It may not be a formal "news conference", but on the bright side, there isn't ALWAYS a running helicopter in the background....

    Actually, I saw a 30 second visual (muting was a requirement) of his CPAC ramblings....

    His face did look a little thinner and more naturally colored... If you can't get healthier in S. Florida in February (vs D.C.), it's truly over for you..

    Tanned, Rested, and still not Ready....

    This is an ugly leftist talking point. He encouraged people to go to the capitol to protest. They rioted on their own. He said nothing to encourage riots. I have paid more attention to it than you have.
