Well, we still haven't heard from him, have we?
That's pretty strange.
Maybe he is recovering, though. He is kind of old, covid could have hit him hard. He might not have taken his booster shot on time.
reply
Considering he told the nation that you can't get covid if you're vaccinated, the real scandal here is clearly that Joe Biden is unvaccinated.
You're right. It could be as simple as that. Still, what we had heard from him was that he was feeling fine.
reply
Well, everyone proved that to be false. Im sure he got one.

They published a 3.5 min phone call he made today with campaign. However the weird things were: (a) no interaction at all with other callers, like someone pressed play on recording....even when other side of call was cheering and clapping he just get plowing thru his message non-stop. (b) he was extraordinarily good with numbers and names...rattling off list of numbers of new campaign offices and thanking long list of personnel by name....odd considering a week ago he couldn't remember his own Sec of Defense name and instead called him "the black man"
Perhaps he is alive but they pre-recorded this message....maybe editing together a few different takes? Or maybe AI is that good? (I will say that it sounded very natural -- it did sound real).
reply
Maybe an AI or movie magic. I am sure they can afford it.

I haven't seen that yet. Considering how poorly that previous phone call went, it wouldn't surprise me if they just played a recording.
He may not have even known it was a recording. What would prevent them from giving him a script and staging a call to get the audio? Then they can fix it up in post and play it to the campaign.

Here was call. Sounds authentic to me but seems pre-recorded.

I dont understand, what is wrong with prerecording? Get off his back. Grumbling over the smallest details.

Are you aware of whats happen?
The president was last seen 4 days ago. Then on sunday he dropped out of race via twitter....without even notifying his own staff...his campaign manager was on sunday morning talk shows saying "Biden is not dropping out" 90 mins before the surprise twitter announcement.
The signature on the letter of him dropping out doesn't match his normal signature....
There is so much suspicion / confusion over this that Fox News issued a "proof of life" request this morning. This was followed by "proof of life" request from republican members of the House....then to satisfy these concerns they released this phone call.
There is nothing wrong with a pre-recorded call, but given the circumstances a pre-recorded call doesn't really satisfy or calm the suspicion.
reply
Maybe he made the decision himself? Without consulting others? I feel we as a people are trying to make it bigger than it actually is.
reply
That doesn't fit with anything we had seen. He was adamant about staying in the race, to the point of yelling at his allies for suggesting he drop out. Also, he must have consulted at least one person, if he didn't write the letter himself or post it.
reply
I dont know. I think we just need to wait. We are making this bigger than it actually is. He probably has had time to think it through, since he has been sick.
reply
Interesting read.
reply
no one is on his back
Nancy Pelosi and Obama were on his back but not anyone here
it's not a trivial detail
why is the President hiding? if he is incapicated then Kamala should be acting Pres

Well, if you are given a lot of time, you can make anything perfect.
