Everytime I see a clip with the US president, mr Biden, I can't help thinking that he would perform better in front of the cameras if he was drunk. No disrespect intended but he looks scared stiff, and slightly confused. I've known plenty of people for whom the greatest terror was public speaking, especially off script or freeform, who performed better after a pint.

You seem to hear Mr. Biden through the same sound board I do. Next time he gives a press conference (if they let him do another one), I'll skip the speech and go straight to your summary! Thanks!

Joe Biden is Grandpa Simpson. Half expected him to start talking about wearing an onion on his belt: https://youtu.be/5Rzao52ndNA

Errors? Where?

I listened/watched the WHOLE debacle (You'll have to wait for my book about how I survived my guffaws. Tease: my office is covered in Red Bull I just couldn't keep down.), and...

I verify this official transcript.

You summed up the "consummate obfuscating, script-regurgitating politician" nature of the way Biden speaks perfectly (when he's not having an outburst). I guess maybe he hit it out of the park this time, because he didn't say anything "They" wouldn't have approved. (Still haven't figured out whether "they" is a group of people or just the preferred pronoun of a very powerful individual.)

I think Biden meant to say that 17 fake Nobel Prize winners support BBB.

That was pretty good. Thanks for doing something that I cannot do, which is to watch Biden on TV. You deserve a lot of praise for that.

Your biting humor helps me deal with the deep sobbing and uncontrollable depression after having witnessed that.

THAT took a while to write.

Things are going great, and they're only getting better, especially since they started replacing nurses with soldiers and teachers with cops. The future's so bright, where are my Ray Bans?

So, I'm gonna play the innocent fool here: Is this what was actually said? You have direct quotes embedded and identified. Some of this sounded so ridiculous that the only reason why it might be realistic is because we have a dementia-addled president in the big chair, and a VP that is so unpopular that people don't want to push the 25th amendment option.
