LIVE: Biden’s ‘Big Boy’ Press Conference
Who is the goodest boy?
Joe Biden is having his first real press conference in forever, hoping to quell the Democrat insurrection against him. It could be make or break. If he falters, there will be an avalanche of defectors.
Live feed below, I’ll update with highlights and reactions.
This has become a campaign speech, and it’s a very inappropriate setting for this sort of partisanship. Off putting.

He really should not, for his own good, have said that part out loud. https://t.co/ARkBPXkw43

Biden, following numerous reports that all his events are extremely scripted and that the admin is in cahoots with reporters, starts off his Q&A: "I've been given a list of people to call on here." pic.twitter.com/SHWAYbvwRJ

Biden just called Kamala Harris "Vice President Trump."
First question.

This isn’t perfect but it is more than enough to keep him in the race.
— Sarah Isgur (@whignewtons) July 11, 2024
For those of us in the schadenfreude camp, this is perfect. He's not cratering, so he's going to go on, and all you guys are going to continue to panic, and I am going to eat more popcorn.

Old white house trick: Throw a question to a foreign reporter to burn time and pretend like you're taking tough questions
— Saagar Enjeti (@esaagar) July 11, 2024
Remember when Trump had press conferences and reporters were screaming and adversarial?
Put Biden under that pressure instead of this lapdog shit
— Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) July 11, 2024
Biden is filibustering. He’s talking absolute nonsense, gibberish on irrelevant subjects so he and the media can say ZOMG he took questions for 40 whole minutes.
Further, most Americans don’t give a sh*t about any of this.

Biden has spent more than 8 minutes responding to a foreign-policy question and 2 follow-ups from NYT's David Sanger
— Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) July 12, 2024
People are saying he’s doing well enough to stay in. That might be true. But I see it differently.
He could not afford to just to “well enough.”
Democrats have already gone PUBLIC with their disapproval of him. “Well enough” isn’t enough.
He had to kill it tonight. He didn’t.

Maybe he will do an LBJ.
Calling it big boy shows how unserious these people are and an acknowledgement that Biden has failed with his little boy practices.
Joe could put this to bed by taking cognitive test
but he can’t cuz when he flunked it, his capacity for signing legal documents, like pardons, would cease
he may be able to hold onto the WH but any legal documents he signed after that would probably be challenged
As he puts it “I take a cognitaphisstsesteverbry day”. Passing one would be the trick.
He is reading the answers and he is so pumped with medication he can hardly open his mouth.
He had a teleprompter.
IMO Jill Biden is channeling her inner Charlton Heston and you’ll have to pry Joe Biden out of the WH from her ‘…….hands’.
Where’s the “Kaboom”? I was expecting a political-party-shattering “Kaboom!!!”
There is no kaboom. It turns out it’s a little boy press conference. He says, “I have a list here of who to call on.”
Itty bitty teeny tiny little boy. It’s all phony.
Is there any sort of titty involved? Asking for a Texan friend.
Bwahaha!
It was more of a baby fart.
No kaboom today. Kaboom tomorrow. There’s always a kaboom tomorrow.
Joe Biden made a major gaff at a “high stakes” press conference tonight after appearing to confuse Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
You figure by now, Zelensky could dress appropriately. He and Fetterman, the Odd Couple.
Cut the guy some slack. I don’t think Dr. Jill was there whispering names in his ear as at a recent fund raiser. Besides, don’t all white guys look alike.
I saw your post.. and thought it was a joke… ohhh
Should have known better.
It will be a PRETEND Press Conference
He can’t do a real press conference
They know he can’t do a press conference
We know he can’t do a press conference
They know that we know he can’t do a press conference
But they will pretend he did a press conference
And a lot of people will be satisfied
I think Joe is going to drown in the Rubicon river.
I think it is more likely to be the River Styx…
Look! Up on the podium! It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s Big Boy doing a press conference.
Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall —- never mind it’s all smoke and mirrors.
Normally I’d agree but the Press is not carrying water for him the same way they used to. They’re afraid that if he stays in the race he will lose and not only that he’ll take the Senate and the house down with him. Keep in mind that first and foremost the Press are a bunch of democrat propagandists. They want the Communists to win most of all
I guess it can keep rolling him out till he somehow has an accident and has a good press conference
he will take 4 or 5 questions
scripted
he’ll still screw it up
cuz he doesn’t know he’s screwing it up
that’s the deal;, you don’t really understand what you are doing
Any honest medical man would pronounce him unfit after a brief glance at his eyes.
The simultaneously cloudy and dazed unblinking eyes? Yep, definitely a clue that all is not well in his noggin even for non-medical men.
I just tuned in. Is he responding to questions with answers for other questions he knows he will be asked?
“Mr. Biden….”who is the president of the United States?””
“Thursday. Thursday. If anybody asks. It’s Thursday.”
So now the REAL question.
Are they going to rely on ‘trusted friends’ to fake through this with fake scripted questions and memorized answers, or has the Bat Signal gone out to get rid of the drooling moron and they’re actually going to savage him here?
The Big Boy Presser was the WH’s attempt to buy time. The hope is they can drag Biden’s corpse across the finish line to continue the grift; they failed to reassure the public. The statement of having a list of people to call on was the first gaffe of many. I can imagine Biden thought as he walked of the stage thought, “Take that, Clooney!”
I wonder if anyone recorded Jill’s screams afterwards.
I thought it was supposed to start at 6:30?
Delayed until 7 EST
Slow Joe’s restive bowels were acting up, again.
His meds haven’t kicked in yet.
They had to go get some more smoke and a couple of mirrors needed to be adjusted.
More injections of D-IX were needed. The White House doctors have discovered that this WWII-era drug cocktail, consisting of a judicious blend of methamphetamine, oxycodone and cocaine, can sometimes bring the wizened corpse of Slow Joe to a semi-lucid state.
He caught a 90-minute cold.
Brandon’s handlers must’ve botched his drug cocktail. He’s probably grinding his teeth and rubbing his bronzer on his gums.
It’s been delayed twice so far. Stay tuned. Or not.
Is he going to show?
He’s probably asleep
He certainly won’t win or place…
If it was a horse race he couldn’t make it out the starting gate.
Well, he could stumble or get a little push from Dr Jill the Proxydent.
The miracle is that Slow Joe was actually able to name the current Russian leader. His supporters are thrilled that the old fool didn’t refer to Zelensky as “Stalin” or “Khrushchev.” Small victories are what it’s all about.
Is Biden coming out or is he asleep?
Groundhog Day.
Making a joke on TiXter about this just got me suspended
“Oh Joe, you did such a GREAT job!!! You answered every question!!! You are the biggest, greatest and most amazing boy!!! You get a double-scoop ice cream cone, with sprinkles!!!”
I pray we will be spared the truly disturbing spectacle of “Dr.” Jill Biden lavishing her embarrassing and absurdly fawning praise upon the corrupt dotard and fool.
Hey, the makeup lady deserves kudos. Much less orange this time!
The spray-on tan that the dotard’s handlers are applying to his corpse look absolutely hideous. The notion that this stuff makes the dotard look healthy and vigorous is farcical.
Help me out here. Me and my extended family gamble.
I had to buy the wife a new BBQ when Dino Rossi failed to win the third recount in the stolen 2004 Wa governor’s race. We take good care of our BBQ and only replaced it a year or so ago, however she is eyeing the Blackstones so the bet is open again.
We were trying to decide to bet on whether Biden would make it to the election or not, but opted for the following.
I bet a Blackstone that if Biden is still on the ticket that Trump would take Wa.
We haven’t settled on what she is wagering. Odds of Dems losing Wa are low even with a cadaver on the ticket, so I am thinking I need a 20:1. I’m thinking a week at an all-inclusive resort in the Bahamas (cuz I’m done with Cancun).
Bet is off if Biden withdraws.
I’ll of course lure her into a side bet of down ticket losses. Ferguson has potential for upset loss, since he’s about as liked as a case of herpes.
I’ve just been suspended on Twixter for saying they need to get Biden strapped to the dolly and wheel him to the podium.
BADGE OF HONOR!!!!
Speak Truth to Power!
Great work.
The press conference is coming up on what is a two-hour delay. This is not a good look. Wonder if the WH will reschedule it?
He basically admitted that Putin lives in the empty space in his head
Well, that gives Putin quite a bit of space. Probably bigger than his dacha
They knew months before the invasion and did nothing about it?
Didn’t Biden tell Putin to only make a small invasion?
Wasting time so he will not have to answer questions.
Prices did not fall last month, moron Joe
He and his handlers are stupid enough to think that ‘inflation falling’ means PRICES are falling, when it actually means they are just increasing slower.
Yes, they really are all that stupid.
Not including electricity, food, gas or housing of course
They aren’t, but they’re banking you are.
Anyone willing to support that pedophile, especially after his public displays of how badly he lacks mental capacity, is that stupid.
Wait a minute are telling us that when the rate of increase in prices slows down that the actual prices levels don’t fall? /S
Sadly there are folks who don’t know what the stats actually measure even if the stats presented were accurate. See every BLS monthly report where the number is heavily revised the following month. The employment stats are past the point of being worthless joining the current very narrow basket that comprises and vastly understates anything close to a realistic CPI for household spending.
I’m already drunk
no mas
no mas
Self-destructing.
Just ask vice-president Trump.
He called his vice president Trump~did I hear that right?
It’s time for counter demonstrations at sports stadiums filled with raised torches. Tom Cotten?
The reporters already picked isn’t helping. This is cringe ugh
He is a disaster. He’s their man.
wanna bet Joe was rehearsed on those questions?
Biden’s doing well enough to stay in the race, the coup has failed. Good news for Trump.
Disagree with you
Agree thsus is good for Trump.
Someone is (perhaps many people are) going to file a lawsuit claiming the official acts Biden has taken are invalid because he’s non compos mentis.
Now do Woodrow WIlson.
I’m not sure if people really understood the extent of Edith’s control until years after his presidency ended. I read ‘Untold Power’ by Cokie Roberts’ daughter last year. It was fascinating how Edith was able to stage-craft certain meetings w/key members of Congress and media members to (largely) assuage the concerns they had. This is entirely different. Biden’s mental collapse is being broadcast live.
Yeah. The same deceptive stagecraft was done with FDR’s polio disability and his swift decline at the end of hist last term. The media never photographed FDR in a wheelchair and thus was as complicit in perpetrating the deception as today’s media is, with regard to dotard Biden.
They had the same wife, just removed by different generations. Both happen to be modeled on Lady MacBeth.
And don’t I remember that Hillary used to have nocturnal conversations with her?
He’s not doing well enough to be the President of our country in the present moment.
Like, in the fullness of time, right?
My expectations were low, but

This is an absolute TRAIN WRECK. He’s already admitted he ‘has a list of people to call on who had their questions approved’, he’s already done the creepy whispering thing, and he’s incapable of delivering his obviously canned lines.
This is bad for us, we WANT him to stay in the race, and I think this is the final nail in the coffin to throw him overboard.
Pre-approved questions have been normal for Dems since Clinton
Yes, but the ENTIRE POINT of this charade was to PRETEND that this was a ‘real’ press conference and he was answering questions on the fly.
And Pudding Brain is too stupid to understand that.
Instead of a Big Boy press conference, what he really needed was a Real Boy press conference. But the Blue Fairy refused to show up, and the Red Fairy sure as hell wasn’t going to volunteer (she was eating popcorn with Trump).
It is all staged—a fourth rate stage production on a level with a grade school play. It ain’t fooling nobody.
He used to get away with this kind of phony crap before, but it ain’t gonna fly no more. They should be ashamed.
to be ashamed requires that you have a sense of shame.
Dems do not…
So I guess the real question is did he wear his big boy pants, you know the pull-up kind rather than the diaper?
He told the truth! He picked Kamala Harris because she was so free with her body.
She is no longer free, lots of inflation
Thought I saw nickel slot at her waistline.
It used to be pennies, inflation you know…
Hawk Tuah?
He would have to improve appreciably for this to just be disastrous. Dumpster fires are watching this and saying to themselves, ‘Holy Shit, what a mess.;’ I really think 25A is not out of the question.
eye blinking is a natural act, do it
Biden: “Foreign leaders like me.”
the ntsb will be on site shortly to work this derailment
Will they set fire to him like the wreck at Palestine?
Ask him about Hunter in the White House.
these questions were pre approved by Joe’s campaign
he actually thinks he has leverage over China
Great news, Democrats!
You wanted a stiff. Now you got one!
Go get stiffed, with my blessings!
He is barely functioning right now
Yes and this is a little baby press conference. He might as well have on a diaper and be crawling on the floor. That would look better than what he’s doing.
For years, the Democrats have relied on the votes of the dead. It;s only fitting that the dead want to be represented by a corpse.
That’s “corporeally challenged”! “Dead” is racist, or something.
Ask why he does not call the families of dead girls and women he facilitated.
script comes in handy, if he can TALK
He thinks the Gaza Strip was a night club Hunter used to frequent
I thought it was a particular move done while slithering up and down those poles in the clubs.
NO sympathy for Israel’s position, no criticism of Hamas.
Worse. He criticized Israel.
His criticism of Trump’s foreign policy skills is laughable. We had peace in the Middle East prior to Biden.
The only “two-state solution” that makes sense has Taiwan in the equation. As for Israel, a “two-state solution” would be its death.
How about Oregon and Greater Idaho for a two-state solution?
Yes, but criticism is a given. It’s the question of no empathy by the pretender, just like with the victims of the border here.
As a big NATO booster, why not let Israel join NATO?
As opposed to letting them twist in the wind without ammunition…..
And he sure as hell shouldn’t be talking about the Russians lying to their people. Does he have any self awareness?
Strengthen the Pacific? Tell that to Taiwan, that has continual incursions into their airspace.
Heck, he practically abandoned the post hurricane Texans.
Joe: “I’m not talking to Putin until he changes his ways”
Trump: “I’m gonna talk to Putin and tell him how he will change his ways”
Russia has very ridiculous prerequisites for any talks
Always look at the pupils. If they are dilated, it’s a sure sign that he is over-medicated. In his case, I would bet a cocktail of amphetamines, memantine (Namenda), and modafinil (Provigil). Any one of these will produce pupillary dilation, but in combination—they make him look like Little Orphan Annie. In this case, his eyes look like they’re almost cut-outs.
National Palestinian Radio is reading scripted questions to him
It’s all scripted. He’s scripted. They’re scripted. Nothing is real. It’s a stage production for the benefit of his constituents.
He’s got his talking points from the debate to use here.
BLOWING it at the end. More people trust Trump on democracy than Biden.
It’s the Republic that concerns me more.
Doesn’t matter what you call it if it’s gone.
True.
Run from that test Joe.
Now it’s a bad foot. Probably got Jet Lag coming downstairs.
Nobody suggested a cognitive exam? seriously?
Biden’s docs. Corrupt to the core.
I wonder if any of them are desperate enough to inject him with what Dr. Morell injected Hitler with? Ground-up desiccated bull-nuts?
Not sure about that, but more certain they would cover up for him and themselves.
Ironically, Congressional Democrats have to be furious at the media for these laughably softball questions.
He was asked about Ukraine and said something about surviving a convention fight.
Is Clooney going to write another op-ed? Get your popcorn.
This was posted by CNN minutes after the presser ended: Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi have spoken privately about Biden’s campaign as Democrats look to steer the president out of the 2024 race, sources say
https://x.com/cnnbrk/status/1811562768098627931
The decision has already been made. We may eventually find out it was made even before that debate.
How will they undo the rigging that they did? Biden* is a dictator they created.
Has the decision been made? Seems like the battle is drawn.
Started presser squinting! Nit squinting now, energy low, now high the meds have begun to work. He also needs to stop the whispering!
He did not do as bad as feared, but is always one step away from a meltdown.
Honestly I see no single better demonstration of Biden’s dementia than his weird creepy whispering schtick. Literally EVERYBODY (even the leftists) agrees that its creepy and weird, yet they can’t get him to stop doing it.
He’s simply incapable of understanding that it’s not normal.
He remains a corrupt dishonest man that hates half of the country.
Where oh where are the vaunted “fact checkers” now?
Pres. Trump was superior to Biden on foreign policy, yet Biden claims otherwise.
He had to get in the golf cart crack, and says “what is Pres. Trump doing?”, but what did he think Pres. Trump would be able to do while out of office?
Pres. Trump didn’t need a coalition of anyone to keep the peace. And he wasn’t against NATO; he just wanted them to pay their fair share (something they always want the “rich” to pay).
How do you combat Pres. Trump’s use of your confusing VP Harris with “VP Trump?”
Biden says “Listen to him.”
Okay, I will.
Joe is Snoop Dog.
Rollin down the street, taking 10% and dipping in Genesis Juice…Laid back, with his mind of bologna and a felon for a son.
Didn’t watch, don’t care, won’t affect the election. In a week everybody have forgotten except for a couple of additions to his favorite blunders list, and he’ll have to work hard to outdo introducing Zelensky as “President Putin”.
