Biden mentions ‘good’ side of Florida condo collapse during site visit

President Biden struck an odd tone during a visit to the scene of the Florida building collapse Thursday, as he talked about finding a good side to the disaster, which has left 18 dead and nearly 150 missing.

“You know what’s good about this?” Biden said at a briefing with local leaders. “It lets the nation know we can cooperate and when it’s really important.”

Biden added, “I just got back from 12 days in Europe. They wonder whether we can do this. And you’re doing it.”

At least 18 people died and 145 others remain missing after the collapse of the beachfront building in Surfside, north of Miami.

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, sitting to Biden’s right at a table in Surfside, thanked the president for federal support in the rescue operation.

“We’re gonna need some mental health support for some of the folks who’ve been in that rubble because it’s not easy to do. But we thank you for the support and we do appreciate that the collaboration for local, state and federal,” DeSantis said.

A ‘silver lining’ in a disaster?

Nice, Joe, real nice.

As if we needed more evidence of his diminished capacity of logical and relevant thought.

The good side is that Joe gets to tell us how wonderful he is for doing such a fantastic job.

The demented one using possibly 150 deaths as a political platform to change public opinion of his administration from radical to “bipartisan”. Despicable, he has no awareness of what the word “appropriate” means.

The fact that the building was known to be in an unsafe condition well before the collapse shows a complete and utter failure of Biden’s vaunted system. We didn’t come together; we fell apart. We failed.

His handlers are slapping his pee pee right now. “Told you to just shake his hand and smile and say we are here to help.” Then walk away. He looks like a idiot everywhere he goes.

I love the look on DeSantis’ face there. Use photoshop to add thought balloons over his head and you could create dozens of great memes.

OMG. Was that a real picture from when he said that. DeSantis will rip him a new one later. I hope a reporter asks him about it.
