Presser?

We’ll see. A Presser is news speak for Press Conference.

A Press Conference is one where the Press gets to ask questions during the conference. Biden doesn’t do that.

Joe Biden sat for an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Wednesday to talk Afghanistan and Covid-19 — among other things. The real news in the interview, however, was that Biden was doing it at all.

The Stephanopoulos interview was only the 9th one Biden has done with a media organization since being sworn in as president seven months ago, according to statistics kept by longtime CBS Radio reporter Mark Knoller.

Which, again according to Knoller, is far — FAR — behind the pace that Biden’s two predecessors gave interviews in their first term. Barack Obama had given 133 interviews by this point in his first term while Donald Trump had done 50.

They are having a rough time finding his body double . . . meanwhile, the pedo is in the fetal position under the desk in the Oval Office.

I win tacos if it’s the first one, but that would be scry, so I’ll go with what is Trump’s Fault for 200 Alex.

They’re probably getting their ducks in a row to re-create the ending scene in “Dave” when the fake president fakes a stroke/death to leave the presidency in the hands of the VP.

Only difference: In “Dave”, the VP was a decent guy. Current VP ... not so much.

> Changing it to his resignation speech? Gotta get Heels Up there to take over?

Part of me wonders if they’re tee-ing up a “win” for Harris by letting the situation in Kabul degenerate so she can take over and “fix” it.

[Chgogal]

I heard that the Secret Service is looking all over. Biden must have wandered off looking for the Press Room.

[Alas Babylon!]

Trump did a LOT more. He spoke to the press every time he went on the helicopter, outside, or just waiting for something.

[jonsie]

I hope he is resigning!

PLEASE let this be his announcement: "I Resign."

[mware]

1:35 nothing yet.

Yeah!!!!!!!

[Responsibility2nd]

Yes. And I don’t blame Trump for limiting his press conferences. His enemies in the media lied and distorted his remarks.

When they weren’t being rude jerks yelling crap at him while he was speaking.

[Colinsky]

Oops, Joe forgot about it.
