Biden appeared to have intended to say New Zealand “All Blacks” rugby squad, according to a White House transcription of his remarks at the Windsor bar in Dundalk, County Louth.

This ain’t dementia. Biden has always been a low-IQ piece of excrement. He needed to plagiarize to graduate at the bottom of his class. That’s a typical Democrat for you. They can’t succeed without cheating.

We have a demented, incontinent, Gaffe-o-Matic for a president and commander-in-chief.

How the hell did that ever happen?! And he may even ‘win’ a second term. Wake me when the nightmare’s over.

“Ahead of his visit to Belfast, a top-secret document containing the itinerary for his visit to Belfast and information about his protective detail was found in the street, prompting a security scare.”

“Over the weekend, police in Northern Ireland reportedly foiled a terrorist bomb plot intended to disrupt Biden’s Belfast visit.”

This idiot could F up a wet dream. SMH

By now the world is used to ChiComjoe making idiotic statements, along with the unbelievable mouthings of Kamlamadingdong, “Careening” Jean-Pierre, John “Baghdad” Kirby, Ice-cream-brain-freeze-Nancy, Flatline Fetterman, Deadhead Feinstein, “IQless” AOC, and the rest of the idiocrats and perverts in the Demonicrat kakistocracy.
