The First Lady’s husband
Sounds like some sort of convoluted riddle, doesn’t it?
A riddle Joe Biden had trouble solving:
‘The first lady’s husband contacted COVID,’ President Biden said during an Equal Pay Day celebration for Women’s history month.
Someone off to the side quickly corrected Biden, pointing out that his statement would mean he was the one with COVID.
It’s actually Kamala Harris’ husband who’s been diagnosed with COVID.
A troubling statement on Biden’s part, but it’s nothing new for Biden to refer to Kamala Harris in ways that sound as though she’s the president. I hate to report on this sort of lapse, because it evokes that feeling of dismay and even sympathy. Other countries must think it very odd and very dangerous that we tolerate a president in such obvious decline, and I can’t say I disagree.
Ted Cruz had this to say:
The First Lady’s husband has no idea what he’s saying…. https://t.co/4az9KHihCn

I will add that this sort of thing is still episodic for Biden, and that he can sometimes sound quite coherent. But a president needs to be coherent more than now and then. Also, even a coherent Biden would be a disaster in terms of policy.
Every time Biden speaks, the deep state laughs at the people of the US.
Even when he was coherent he was often not coherent.
Reminds me of the riddle “Brothers and sisters, I have none. But that man’s father is my father’s son”.
But seriously, this is not good. It’s inherently dangerous to have a dotard as President of the United States. And we’re all in the process of learning just how dangerous it really can be. I just hope we survive this little lesson.
Well, the First Lady’s husband is off next week to Brussels to meet in person with the other NATO heads of state. Should be gaffe-tastic. The NY Post’s take on the trip is that Biden has “benched” his less-than-stellar Vice President: “Biden benches Harris: Prez to attend NATO summit in person next week.”
As for Dr. Jill herself: “In addition to the president’s trip, the White House reportedly is considering sending first lady Jill Biden to Eastern Europe, possibly to Poland, to survey the status of refugees fleeing Ukraine.”

Meanwhile, we can all wish Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff a quick and uncomplicated recovery from COVID.
Nancy Pelosi, the next in line after our incoherent president and vice president, gave somewhat incomprehensible comments after Zelensky’s congressional speech.

It is of course sad and dangerous to have a man such as Biden as “leader of the free world” in a time of potential nuclear conflict, but It is also darkly humorous. The sad truth is that the majority of what passes for our elite seems to have no problems with a cognitively challenged President and a cackling, blithering idiot waiting in the wings to replace him. It’s hard for me to see how we survive this type of incompetence.
“I hate to report on this sort of lapse, because it evokes that feeling of dismay and even sympathy.”
I felt the same as people claimed these things about then President Ronald Reagan, when he was still President. I also don’t recall such serious lapses from Ronald Reagan when he was President, although he did decline quite quickly after leaving office.
Saw the clip on 20 Tweets from Bad Blue and first thought it was his mind maze. But later thinking probably a joke writer. Most better hope it was a written joke.
Kate,
That clip of Pelosi is even scarier than Biden. Not only can she not talk coherently, what’s up with all the wild arm and hand gestures? Seriously frightening.
Let’s pray Bismarck was right …

Ah, so he meant the Turd Lady, then…?

Well, we have all three in each person making decisions, so we have to hope so.
The simple truth is that Biden and Pelosi, and others, have simply aged out of any competency they once possessed, which, in Biden’s case, was not much at all. Pelosi is just one of hundreds of House members so I can see allowing her district’s voters to decide whether she stays or goes. Also, she is Speaker so her caucus members should assert their power and responsibility to remove her if she is no longer capable of executing her duties.
Biden, as POTUS, must be made to take and pass a cognitive function test to remain in office. There is just too much at stake for the nation and its citizens to allow this befuddled old pervert to remain in office while incapacitated.

Well, that’s going to be a confidence inspiring visit…
“The sad truth is that the majority of what passes for our elite seems to have no problems with a cognitively challenged President and a cackling, blithering idiot waiting in the wings to replace him.” Gregory Harper
I suspect that the “majority of what passes for our elite” have been assured that, if push comes to shove, the “cognitively challenged President” and the “cackling, blithering idiot waiting in the wings” are not and will never be actually in charge. However, if I were a member of that ‘august’ group, I’d have no confidence in the puppet masters either.
physicsguy,
I’ve noticed that behavior in Pelosi a number of times, just recently.
Steve Walsh,
“Biden, as POTUS, must be made to take and pass a cognitive function test to remain in office.”
Unless forced by circumstance, until the democrats are ready to put Bidet out to pasture, it aint going to happen.
If he would have said the First Lady’s husband was a mental idiot he would be correct
I think that Biden inadvertently blurted the truth.
It was NOT Kamala’s husband to which he referred.
It WAS Michelle Obama’s husband to which he referred.
Obama is the real president. He is the shadow behind the throne. This is Obama’s third term.
“It WAS Michelle Obama’s husband to which he referred.” Edward
That may well be correct.

Ideally, the speaker and the president pro tem of the Senate would be selected from outside the membership, would be term limited, would be expected to be impartial, and would not be found in the presidential succession law.
As for the floor leaders and whips in each chamber, there are three who are peers of the median private-sector executive (McCarthy, Scalise, and Thune). If our constitutional provisions were sensible, Pelosi, Hoyer, Clyburn, Durbin, and Bitc* McConnell would be mandated to retire and debarred by law from holding any presumptively full-time political office. A municipal council or school board in a rural township, a small town, or a postage-stamp suburb, but nothing more time-consuming than that. UpChuck Schumer would be within five years of mandated retirement. And all of them would long since have been run out of Congress due to term limits. (Note, of all of them, only John Thune has spent an appreciable amount of time during his post-adolescent years living in a small town and only Kevin McCarthy in a small city).
Hoyer, Durbin, and McConnell practiced law at one time. None of them were accomplished lawyers above and beyond earning a living.. The rest have no demonstrated skill sit other than holding political office.
That was no Lady. That was the Second Gentleman’s wife.
