White House: Biden to Hold “Big Boy” Press Conference on Thursday
Why use that term when describing a press conference by a president with obvious cognitive decline? Have some self-respect. Come on, man.
Defiant Joe Biden insists he is up to the job and campaign.
But the White House referring to his upcoming press conference as a “Big Boy” press conference does not inspire confidence in the guy accompanied everywhere by the nuclear football and nuclear biscuit.
KJP: “This week, President Biden will… hold a press conference, a Big Boy press conference.”
Kirby: “After that the president will hold a press conference. I guess a big boy press conference is what we’re calling it.”
JUST IN: Both Karine Jean-Pierre and John Kirby refer to President Biden’s upcoming press conference as a “Big Boy” press conference.
Remarkable.

KJP attributed the “big boy” descriptor to Justin Sink at Bloomberg.
Bloomberg’s Justin Sink, moments later: “[Y]ou mentioned the press conference.”
KJP: “Yeah.”
Sink: “Is that gonna be kind of the real, big boy press conference that we’re used to or —”
KJP: “Did you just big boy press conference?”
Sink: “— like, one of these two and two is… pic.twitter.com/blzfDwWfhi

That doesn’t mean you have to use it when describing a press conference by a president with obvious cognitive decline.

I wish we could contain the damage this president has done to ONLY the people who voted for him.
I run my household budget on a spreadsheet and use “annual” consumption numbers in my plans to ditch the W2 job. I haven’t looked at for a minute (been distracted with fleeing my hell hole blue city in a hell hole blue state) and the grocery line item for FY25 is almost double the 2020 value. As is the dining out line item. Everything else is up as well.
For me an awful lot of things have doubled in the last 5 or so years. It makes me doubt the veracity of our inflation numbers.
Look at how LAUGHABLY unreliable their unemployment/job creation numbers have been. Of the 40-months Biden has been president, I would be surprised if there weren’t downward revisions to those numbers in more than six of those 40-months. You’d have to be insane to not suspect the veracity of their inflation numbers.
There have been downward revisions in 39 of 40. But they’re ll phony and misleading numbers anyway.
Government stats are always fudged. Especially inflation and unemployment numbers.
When they don’t include food and energy costs in the inflation numbers, we know it’s bullshit
Yeah. Food and fuel and normal goods are pretty much what I buy. Sadly, I’m priced out of the market for luxury yachts. I know the CPI does goofy stuff to pick and choose what gets calculated, but I don’t know the specifics.
It is absolutely bonkers that our inflation isn’t calculated off of food, fuel, vehicle, housing, and clothing prices. Maybe those are too volatile? Maybe there is too wide a spread in their price? I’m not an economist.
Some of that would improve if Trump gets back in, but the costs like dining out are probably inflated to stay. Those workers earn more, and the only way to get rid of that cost is to close the restaurant, which is happening a lot. Fewer restaurants, less competition, higher minimum wage, it won’t be going back.
The question is, would you be happier with a different Democrat? And I would be much LESS happy with Obama or someone who takes all his orders from the Obama wing.
Another question is, who is harder for Trump to beat, Biden or whoever the Dems can freely choose? What if they can put in Michelle Obama or some other far left disaster? I’d rather run against Biden, even knowing he might be replaced by Kamala in a 2nd term at any time.
That’s problematic as many of his voters are either dead or never existed.
Depending on your age, everything being up could mean there’s a silver lining!
Will Traitor Joe still have his usual pre-planned reporters to call on, printed out on his cue cards with their pictures?? I’m sure. So, it’s more of a soiled-diaper Potemkin press conference.
Traitor Joe couldn’t even show up on video for his laughable interview on Morning Joe. THey had to use 1950s technology and have Traitor Joe “phone in” the interview from far away in Washington D.C. … at the White House, wehre they don’t have cameras and sets for remote operations or anything … No, Traitor Joe had to be on the phone with a static pic up in his place while his staff of dozens undoubtedly hurried to get him the proper large-print notes to read from in trying to answer the questions while seeming “live” and “candid”. What a joke.
After this is all over Kirby needs to be reduced to Walmart greeter, where he belongs. Cringe Jean-Pierre needs to be deported back to Jamaica or Haiti or wherever she came from.
Antenora, I’m convinced.
You made me look that up!
Yep.
Listening to KJP was an exercise in recognizing dissembling. She fits right in with the Bidens. Could be a daughter.
Will he be wearing his big boy pants also? I really hope he can answer all the questions again.
Will he be wearing any pants at all? Think about it…
Depends !
Yay! And the big boy shoes, with the Velcro!
In our family, the phrase “big boy pants” refers specifically to training pants — the ones that are one step up from diapers, yet still engineered to contained “accidents.” So, in the context of Joe Biden, the phrase signifies no improvement at all.
I wonder if “big boy” underwear are just Depends….
Will the shoes have real laces?
A big boy press conference is one where the media is waiting for your arrival by helicopter on the White House lawn and you are subjected to live cameras and unscripted questions being asked by many people at the same time while insisting on a follow-up question.
I( do recall at least one President who did many many of those. Flawlessly.
A Big Boy press conference for Biden is where he pretends he’s going to take off running, swings his arms a couple of times, take one and a half steps, then stops and gives a Big Boy grin like he thinks he’s funny.
Or maybe he’ll just be serving them tasty, tasty burgers in a Reagan flip.
Are the questions and answers for the press conference already available ?
The press is terrified Trump is going to beat Biden like a rented mule. I suspect for the first time in his tenure, Biden is going to get a reasonably hostile press corps.
Millions of illegals are going to vote. There is no mechanisms in place to prevent it.
Those illegals won’t even know “they” are voting. Their ballots will be harvested.
Harvested from the undeliverable bins at a postal sorting center.
Oddly enough they’ll all vote by mail too…
This I think is a result of infighting. Everyone wants the old coot out but he stubbornly refuses to abdicate the throne. All they can do is throw petty barbs and lie in the bed they made.
The bed they made for us
The 25th amendment offers the mechanism to remove an incapable President who is unwilling to step aside. That the folks with power and authority to utilize this mechanism refuse to do so tells me they ain’t serious about removing Biden from the d/prog ticket as well as clearly communicating what their priorities are: winning an election/holding on to power in DC. All else is a distant second at best…even when we see the emperor has no clothes.
The 25th doesn’t work unless the VP has lined up 290 House members and 67 Senators in advance. If she tries without that support, Joe says he is fine, it only takes 1/3 of either House to sustain that, and then she is off the ticket for disloyalty. If you are going to kill the King, you had better not miss.
Per Section 4 of the Amendment, Harris takes over *immediately* if she and the required number of Cabinet members sign a declaration declaring Biden incapacitated and send it to the House and Senate leaders. Biden then has to issue a response disputing the declaration. Harris and the Cabinet then have four days after Biden’s declaration (during which time Harris is still Acting President) to contact Congress again to trigger the vote.
I agree that you’re correct about the numbers but at the point Harris and the majority of the Cabinet are willing to go on public record that Biden is unfit to serve, I don’t see how his objection can be sustained. And while I get that from a purely tactical point of view the GOP might want him to stay in office, given all of the complaints about his condition it would be extremely (and not just rhetorically) hypocritical of them to then block his removal.
Yeah, but it is a huge risk. No VP, and certainly not one like KH lacking a real solid base of Public support, would ever take a risk like that without lining up the required Congressional support in advance.
But under the 25th, if the president disagrees, it takes two-thirds of both the Senate and House to oust him. Even RINOs would see no advantage in helping him leave, so they’d withhold support. He’s going to have to keel over on live TV to be eliminated as the Dems’ candidate.
“Biden to hold big boy press conference”
I wonder if he is going to wear his big boy pants. It’ll be difficult pulling them off Jill since she has taken’ a liken’ to ’em
Disturbing, in the context of the above discussion of the connotation of “big boy pants.”
Ah yes, You’ve got a point there.
Democrats must be forced to run Biden! They wanted him so they absolutely shouldn’t be allowed to ditch him now the Democrat media can’t cover up for them any longer!!
Well he has this Big Boy Pants press conference, no doubt with scripted questions, a Nato conference and should see a few more confused photo ops.
It’s only going to keep getting worse. Month by month.
They’re setting him up to expose his failings further. Looks like Jilly lost the argument.
I am sure it will be between 10am and 3pm
And maybe be juiced up this time.
He will be so juiced that he could blow a gasket.
Actually, I kinda-sorta hope that Biden does not embarrass himself too much in this. If he is the candidate after the Convention [if it actually happens] and then leaves the pooch walking bowlegged, it is much better for our side.
Subotai Bahadur
Biden adjusts his adult-size Pull-Ups diapers, and intones,
“I’m a big boy now!”
What if Obama got a call about a month ago
from his compadres in Gaza Iran and Qatar
and they said , “Yo Big O Your pie-in-the-sky dumbass Mary Sunshine Blinken refuses to let us kidnap more Israeli girls, can you please help us out?? Like-can’t we get rid of this fool , O?”
And Obama dutifully went to work. Behind the scenes. And here we are.
(If you aren’t aware, Blinken has been close by Biden’s side for many years. )
No Biden? No Blinken.
Once Kamala is installed, she gets rid of Biden, and brings in a more balanced US foreign policy team — so that gazans get to kidnap and rape as many Israeli girls as they would want to — and the balance would now be that the Israelis too would get to kidnap and rape as many Israeli girls as they would want. See the balance?
My guess is that Blinken balked at this balanced proposal. Shocker I realize.
But Kamala would happily go along with such a balanced approach. Get it?
Hopefully, this is the first and last presidential press conference associated with the term “big boy.”
The phrase implies that President Biden is so impaired that he needs to be treated as a child. Is it not bad enough that our allies have severe concerns about the president’s abilities? Although our adversaries have little doubt, do the White House minions have to provide further aid and comfort?
Correction: “Once Kamala is installed, she’ll get rid of Blinken” Lickety-split.
In other words, what if all of this recent stuff is much more about getting rid of Blinken . and helping Hamas. and getting rid of Netanyahu. and helping the rapist kidnapper Allie’s of the democrat party
Sorry
I was trying to reply to myself above
Oy vey
using the term “boy” who have upset lefty had trump said it
Sticking to the press conference, it may be rigged. Put JB at the podium but have a teleprompter screen hidden from view. The questions could be tough and uncensored. Jill could sit a room and type what JB sees on the xcreen. He could repeat the question to gain time for her to type an answer. Or they could use an earpiece. If they don’t do something like this it will be another unforced error, for JB likely cannot do this on his own. So, they’ve probably found a way to cheat or after the last debate they would never put JB out there again where he is on his own.
They must be confident whatever drugs they’re going to give him will work.
