President Joe Biden downplayed concerns about his presidential campaign, but a series of high-profile gaffes during the NATO summit on Thursday renewed concerns about his age and acuity.

    Don’t disagree that he’s embarrassingly old, but the gaffes were always part of the deal with Biden, going back to the 1990s.

      Yeah but he’s managed to make the conversation about his fitness to govern rather than Trumps. That’s quite a feat.

      Confusing your own VP for the opposition party’s candidate is not a gaffe.

    Run Harris. Run Newsom. Run Obama. Run Kennedy. Hell, run Gore.

    There’s so many options here. This is the DNC’s election to lose.

      This is the DNC’s election to lose.

      As it was in 2016. And lost it they did. The DNC never learns their lesson, it seems.

        I assume that’s who they mean, since Barack has already had two terms and his kids aren’t old enough.

          Technically they could run Barack Obama as the VP and Biden as President with Biden openly saying he will resign when elected.

        Do you have a pulse and aren’t a fascist? Probably. The bar is exceptionally low here.

            It’s ok, be a pedophile and lie endlessly and you can still get into office apparently.

    To call Zelenskyy “President Putin” at that critical moment was offensive and totally unacceptable.

    Calling Kamala “Vice President Trump” is kind of hilarious though.

    Both of these together paint a troubling picture. Why is Biden confusing people who are supposed to be his closest allies with those who are considered to be his bitter rivals? This was supposed to be his big press conference where he proves he’s still mentally fit to be president, and he totally blew it. Somebody get him outta there, Biden isn’t fit to be president and the sooner we can admit that and move on the better it will be for this country. The gaslighting in full denial of this is incredibly dangerous, and likely driven by whoever it is that’s actually in charge and wants to stay that way (all signs point to Jill Biden, who last I checked was not elected president.)

    Apparently Biden has not had a full cabinet meeting since last year. These are the people who can invoke 25th amendment on him, and it’s looking extremely suspicious all of a sudden that he’s been avoiding them, and for such an insanely long period of time too!

    For those of us who have had to support an elder family member through times of mental decline, the condition is extremely apparent now, and the administration can no longer hide it. Elders often resist or get angry when confronted about necessary changes, but it’s for their own good. In this case, it’s also so we can ward off a fascist takeover of the US. Come on dem leadership, it’s time to actually be the adults in the room and handle this.

    Putin can wax lyrical about Russian history going back millenia without notes. Biden can…
