Use this thread as a repository of all the stupid/inappropriate/dumb/incredible things the current POTUS says, proof that he is at this point ready for the rocking chair or the glue factory.
Remarks by US President Joe Biden that a ceasefire in Gaza would be possible if Hamas released its hostages are a "setback" to negotiations, the Palestinian militant group has said.
"We condemn this position by the US president, we consider it a setback from the outcomes of the latest round of negotiations, which led to the movement's agreement to the proposal put forward by mediators," Hamas said in a statement.
Mr Biden said yesterday that a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war would be possible "tomorrow" if Hamas gave up hostages seized in its 7 October attack.
Great thread.
That time he did that press conference after a mass shooting of kids, and said he was only there because he wanted chocolate chip ice cream. That's gotta be up there.
Running for president.

Oh jeez, where do we even begin?
Joe Biden, to Charlamagne in an interview during the 2020 election cycle:
"If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black"
Joe Biden, at a press conference meant to congratulate his Supreme Court nomination, Ketanji Brown Jackson:
"America is a nation that can be defined in a single word: Asufutimaehaehfutbw."
Joe Biden, at a campaign stop in Iowa:
"We have this notion that somehow if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids...wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids. No, I really mean it, but think how we think about it..."
Joe Biden, at a Houston rally, attempting to quote the Declaration of Independence:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, sounds corny, not a joke, think about it. We hold these truths to be self-evident, all men and women are created by the...go, you know th...you know, the thing!"
This is just scratching the surface, after all, who could forget how bad of a dude Corn Pop was? :laughing:
Haven't heard asufutimaehaehfutbw before. That should've been all over the news ffs.

Biden fumbles his words and makes gaffes so frequently that most Americans just tune it out.
Another favorite of mine. Joe Biden sings Happy Birthday to Martin Luther King III's wife, Arndrea. And I'm sure you can guess what happened next... :laughing:
We've got gaffes besides just his word fumbling - how about when he went to visit union workers and wore a hard-hat backwards? I love the picture just because of how happy he looks. :laughing:

So in the Declaration of Independence it says "All men are created equal by the God Thing"? Wow! They kept that one quiet!
:laughing:
At last we have a thread that allows us to focus on Biden's superficial blunders! No one has had a chance to do that on SCD yet.

^ Photos with no backstory are pretty good for a laugh too! Here's some comments on the pic above, from reddit users:-
QuoteTotally normal. And it's worth considering there may be some sticker or something on the front that is...less than presidential lol
Edit: I should add that usually when you see these reversed, the "inner bit" (suspension?) is removed and flipped around so that only the shell is backwards.
QuoteAs a journeyman construction worker, I assure you that nobody wears their hard hat backwards with the knob on their forehead... when you wear it backwards, you flip the internals and the knob is still on the back of your head...
With that being said, I don't care that he's wearing it wrong it in the picture. For all I know the context could be out of place and maybe he's just being a fun silly dude, everyone seems to be enjoying themselves in the pic. Or maybe he's actually clueless, but he's supporting us trade workers so what ever. To everyone who's talking shit: He's the president, not a fucking iron worker. Get over it lol.
QuoteHow long before folks realize it's cause they wanted the flag facing forward for the photo..
Quote...people are just pissed the president isnt being racist, a rapist, and condeming people to death. That he's at a bar with people drinking beer, and people are laughing.
If you have a keen eye for detail, you'll notice that Biden isn't actually on a construction site - and also that someone else has their helmet on the bar. What idiot thinks that a helmet on the bar is going to protect their head ?!
_______________________________________________
Anyone got the photo of Biden blinking that was doctored to make it look like falling asleep?? Sleepy Joe ! HaHa! That was a classic. Unfortunately Trump might have to retire that nickname now, because everyday the world hears how irl Trump loses the battle to stay awake during his own criminal trial. :(

Jeez Lisna, a whole lot of sarcasm/passive-aggression here. :(
What's wrong with having a little fun at the US president's expense? Even the fact checkers agree he was wearing it backwards (https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden-wear-hardhat-backwards/), even if people on Reddit say it's because they wanted the stickers (on the back) facing forward or deflect by saying folks are mad because he isn't condemning people to death (which he essentially is with the Israel armament aid).
You could always start an
Oh Donald! You've Done It Again! thread. I'd certainly have things to add, like Trump saying Ted Cruz's father was involved with the JFK assassination. ;)

I guess I was approaching this thread as one that's less serious, and less about the politics behind it all, and more about just having a laugh at Biden's gaffes. Instead of getting into the nuances of Biden's approval for more Israeli aid, or his handling of the border, we can instead joke about ice cream and Corn Pop. A bit of levity if you will. :laughing:

Yeah, pretty much what you said, SGR. We get bogged down in - necessary - details about what Biden is doing wrong, and there are a lot of them too, so I just thought a light-hearted look at where he screws the pooch might be a good idea. I did consider making it about the Other Guy, but the phrase "low hanging fruit" came to mind. Now, "Joe hanging fruit" is a different kitchen utensil full of pisceans altogether.

"He calls
erectionists who stormed Capitol Hill patriots!"
https://x.com/RNCResearch/status/1792348864260751380
I think these erectionists are holding their flagpoles a little too tightly for my liking. :laughing:
Reminds me of what Chuck Schumer said a few years ago:
"Senators will have to decide if they believe Donald John Trump incited the erection...insurrection, against the United States"
If your ins-erection lasts more than 4 hours, call your Doctor, and then consider calling the National Guard. These erectionists need to met with a healthy dose of stiff justice. Trump is out here getting a rise out of everyone, and though we saw much of it on video, and it was hard to watch, this may just be the tip of the iceberg - so we need to go deeper, lest we want these erectionists to come back to the Capitol this upcoming erection cycle. Now that they've got experience, they might even pitch tents outside and wait for the results to come in to see if there was any erection interference!
Oh America, why couldn't you have erected Hillary in 2016? She hasn't incited an erection since at least the early '90s, just ask Bill.

Old, but gold.
For those of you who might not get the reference, a few years ago, there was a Nascar race in which the winning racer, first name Brandon, was doing an interview after the race with a news lady. The Nascar crowd can audibly be heard chanting "Fuck Joe Biden!". The news lady, thinking on her feet, told viewers, "They're saying 'Let's go Brandon!'". Of course, conservative pundits ran with this and used 'Let's Go Brandon' as a stand-in for the more vulgar variation.
So the caller in the first clip, before hanging up, said 'Let's go Brandon!' as a bit of trolling, to which Biden, seemingly not understanding, says: "Let's go Brandon! I agree..." before trying to ask the caller where he's from (he, of course, had already hung up). Jill Biden can be seen rolling her eyes and looking generally uncomfortable that her husband doesn't realize he's just been insulted. :laughing:

"Look, I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president if she was not qualified to be president. So start there," Mr Biden said as he responded to a question from Reuters about his confidence in Ms Harris.
The president coughed frequently and occasionally garbled his responses at the outset of the news conference, and towards the end his answers frequently trailed off before he had completed his thoughts. At the same time, he delivered detailed responses on issues such as the Israel-Gaza conflict and the need for western countries to produce more military weaponry to counter Russia and China.
That came a few hours after Mr Biden mistakenly referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as "President Putin" at the NATO summit in Washington, drawing gasps from those in the room.

Well, tomorrow will be the day that Biden departs the White House and the presidency. It will be interesting to see how history assesses him in 30-40 years down the line. Hopefully, by then, there will be some quality comprehensive biographies written about his life to read (I'm currently working on a goal to read at least one biography of every US president). Say what you will about the man, but he never lost that old Scranton smile of his. I genuinely hope he has a nice post-presidency where he finally gets time to relax and just enjoy the company of his children/grandchildren and his family. Thanks for the laughs, Joe.

The link works.
Speaker Johnson references the 'front page of the Wall Street Journal' in that video - the article here (https://archive.ph/XZI3G)is what he's referencing - it's an archive link so you don't need to worry about the paywall. It's definitely worth a read, and while it's not necessarily surprising based on everything I saw in Biden's behavior/mannerisms in the last few years, it's certainly illuminating. Some quotes:
quotes from the WSJ article
Presidents always have gatekeepers. But in Biden's case, the walls around him were higher and the controls greater, according to Democratic lawmakers, donors and aides who worked for Biden and other administrations. There were limits over who Biden spoke with, limits on what they said to him and limits around the sources of information he consumed.
Throughout his presidency, a small group of aides stuck close to Biden to assist him, especially when traveling or speaking to the public. "They body him to such a high degree," a person who witnessed it said, adding that the "hand holding" is unlike anything other recent presidents have had.
...
Ideally, the meetings would start later in the day, since Biden has never been at his best first thing in the morning, some of the people said. His staff made these adjustments to limit potential missteps by Biden, the people said. The president, known for long and rambling sessions, at times pushed in the opposite direction, wanting or just taking more time.
The White House denied that his schedule has been altered due to his age.
If the president was having an off day, meetings could be scrapped altogether. On one such occasion, in the spring of 2021, a national security official explained to another aide why a meeting needed to be rescheduled. "He has good days and bad days, and today was a bad day so we're going to address this tomorrow," the former aide recalled the official saying.
While it isn't uncommon for politicians to want more time with the president than they get, some Democrats felt Biden was unusually hard to reach.
That's what Rep. Adam Smith of Washington found when he tried to share his concerns with the president ahead of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. Smith, a Democrat who then chaired the powerful House Armed Services Committee, was alarmed by what he viewed as overly optimistic comments from Biden as the administration assembled plans for the operation.
Press aides who compiled packages of news clips for Biden were told by senior staff to exclude negative stories about the president. The president wasn't talking to his own pollsters as surveys showed him trailing in the 2024 race.
...
The president's team of pollsters also had limited access to Biden, according to people familiar with the president's polling. The key advisers have famously had the president's ear in most past White Houses.
During the 2020 campaign, Biden had calls with John Anzalone, his pollster, during which the two had detailed conversations.
By the 2024 campaign, the pollsters weren't talking to the president about their findings, and instead sent memos that went to top campaign staff.
Biden's pollsters didn't meet with him in person and saw little evidence that the president was personally getting the data that they were sending him, according to the people.
There's been a lot of blame to go around after the Dems lost 2024 - but many people still put much of the burden of guilt on Biden - claiming he waited too long to drop out and that he put his ego over the good of the party/country. But if, as would appear to be the case based on the Wall Street Journal report, Biden's mental faculties and cognitive abilities were truly in an extended period of disrepair and decline, and Biden wasn't even getting accurate and honest information from his advisers (we can look back at multiple off-the-cuff interactions Biden had with the press in which they asked him about his lagging poll numbers, and his usual rejoinder was that they're looking at the wrong polls, and the polls he's seen either show him up or in a dead-heat race - "read the polls, jack!"), you can rather easily frame this as an old man who was being taken advantage of by his close advisers and inner circle, and wasn't even in the right state of mind to realize it.
So I don't think the whole story has been written on exactly what happened yet - more people need to talk - and hell, maybe the entirety of the details won't see the light of day until Biden is no longer around - but there's plenty of missing pieces here. Particularly for me, what was the thought process of Biden doing that debate with Trump? It was the earliest a general election debate had ever been held, but was the hope that he'd be having a 'good day' and he'd do well enough against Trump to dispel concerns about his age? Or was it really some kind of power-play behind-the-scenes to feed him to the media wolves and expose him and force him and his inner circle of advisers to eventually withdraw from the race?
I think much of the blame, maybe even more than on Biden himself (because of his condition and mental decline), should be placed on Biden's inner circle of advisers and party luminaries for keeping the charade going as long as they did without sitting Biden down and giving him the blunt truth or at least leaking details to the media earlier to put his feet to the fire so that the Democrats could have had a proper primary cycle to select a successor. I could buy many Democrat senators not knowing the scale of Biden's decline, but I'd find it hard to believe that the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Obama, and Chuck Schumer didn't have enough connections to know what was going on and realize there was an impetus to act sooner. And blame should also be laid at the feet of the incurious media, who too often dismissed criticisms of Biden's mental health as purely partisan attacks from Republicans, rather than as a catalyst for journalistic follow-up investigations - until it got to the point that denying it would get even them laughed out of their cocktail parties.
All this to say that I'm not sure the general consensus of Biden in 10 or 20 years will be simply as a 'stubborn, old fool who couldn't see what was right in front of him'. Based on what we already know right now, I don't think it should be.
^^^
Agree that it will take time to properly evaluate as it always does. You bet there'll be lots of books etc. Jill Biden recently took a swipe at Nancy Pelosi for her role in Biden's decision to stand down. Pelosi's daughter Andrea hit back. Shortly after the election I read a piece quoting top aide Anita Dunn as saying Biden should never have stepped down. She and her hubby Bob Bauer are a longtime DC power couple. Both have worked Clinton, Obama, and Biden. The Donilon brothers (Mike and Tom) likely also played a role in the cover-up.
Biden warned against Trump preemptively pardoning family after 2020 election, then did it himself minutes before leaving office (https://nypost.com/2025/01/21/us-news/biden-warned-against-trump-preemptively-pardoning-family-after-2020-election/)QuoteFormer President Joe Biden said he was "concerned" about Donald Trump giving preemptive pardons to family members, according to a resurfaced interview from 2020 — before he went on to pardon his own son and siblings while doling out the highest number of presidential pardons and commutations in US history.
In a December 2020 interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, Biden warned against then-outgoing President Trump issuing preemptive pardons to his adult children, his attorney Rudy Giuliani and possibly even one for himself before the Democrat's Department of Justice took over.
"It concerns me in terms of what kind of precedent it sets and how the rest of the world looks (at) us as a nation of laws and justice," Biden told Tapper during the joint interview with then-Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
