Biden mixes up Kohl and Merkel in second gaffe this week
The Hill ^ | 02/08/2024 | BRETT SAMUELS

Posted on 02/08/2024 7:53:41 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

President Biden on Wednesday mixed up which German leader he spoke to at a recent Group of Seven (G7) summit, the second time in a week he has mistakenly recounted meeting with a dead European leader.

Biden told donors at a New York fundraiser a story about his trip to his first G7 meeting after taking office, when he declared “America’s back.”

“And the president of France looked at me and said, ‘For how long?’ I never thought of it this way,” Biden said. “Then, Helmut Kohl of Germany looked at me and said, ‘What would you say, Mr. President, if you picked up The London Times tomorrow morning and learned that 1,000 people had broken down the doors, the doors of the British Parliament and killed some [people] on the way in [to] deny the prime minister to take office.’

I am to guess that his drug induced tune-ups in Delaware are not working anymore?

I’d say Jill told the old codger, “You done good, baby.”

If you look at the travel schedule for the past hundred days, for his age...if he had no dementia, he’d still be in rough shape. I would suggest at best, he’s got probably about six months before the hour-by-hour problems are noticeable. I still think he’ll end up peeing in pants one day while giving a speech, and VP Harris is sworn in 24 hours later.

He met them at a party at Kurt Waldheim’s house.

Perhaps we should just be grateful that Biden didn’t say he was talking to Napoleon or Frederick the Great. But maybe I should keep quiet.

Because you never know what tomorrow will bring.

And as a side note, this sort of thing is nothing new for Biden. He’s been making idiotic statements for decades. And yet he sits in the Oval Office today.

When asked about it, Joe shrugged it off. “So I mixed the lime with the coconut and shook it all up. What’re going to do? Call the doctor?”. And shuffled off.

“Second gaffe this week?”

Thar’s been made public. Not counted are the 200-300 gaffes in non-public settings.

Flatlinejoe needs a defibrillator installed in his cranium to reactivate the handful of active neuron synapses still there.

Maybe that will reduce Joe’s “air handshakes” and heading off stage in the wrong direction or in the direction of a young girl with sniffable hair.

I could tell a story about meeting LeBron James.
But people would say — “That didn’t happen.”

And then I could correct myself:
“Did I say LeBron James? I meant Natalie Portman.”

Government "service" is so awful it attracts these losers.
