"Biden officials are helping Joe physically prepare". OMG...he's not physically prepared now? Is Joe unable to stand that long?
In other words, more embalming fluid.

Dominion will tweak that as needed.

He can't go too long or he will start attracting flies and his nose could fall off.

Lot of computer animators employed on that one.

Not to mention someone might notice the smell of the embalming fluid or the robotic assistance exoskeleton under the tux. If someone says, "Hey, that's weird... it looks like there are little pushrods under his skin by his jawbone making his mouth move," that's because there is.

A Republican stands up and tears up the manuscript of the speech, like Pelosi did.

A Republican hold up a sign that says "Liar" like Vivek did in a debate.

others?
It's a Weekend at Bernie's affair. As long as nobody gets too close, it's all inconsequential anyway. Dominion's got Biden's back.

Since the "wake him medications" have started to wane, I suspect it will be very short. I noticed he rushed off after about 15 minutes with his denial of his "elderly man with a poor memory" press conference. He took off like some
one had a bug in his ear and told him, "GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW", maybe his wife, who he might think is his mother, as with dementia, that wouldn't be out of the question.

I won't watch, but will catch the gaffs either here or on youtube.

The man was never sharp, and his current condition is probably more of an issue due to his drug use, than his age. I am so sick of hearing it is about his age. My great grandmother ran a boarding house for 3 college age men who stayed in her upstairs bedrooms when she was in her 80s! I have known so many people in their 80s that were sharp as tack. I have a friend in the neighborhood who is 89 years old, does her own cooking, cleaning and until last year, most of her yard work, plus goes to the YMCA to workout, drives herself, is always well groomed and cares for a small dog.

Biden was never sharp, NEVER! He was always dumb, just dumb. Anyone that doesn't see that, well, you know, they are just a Biden knock off!

***There is only one way for the Dems to get rid of Biden, but then, it wouldn't be the first time that used that method.

I can't stand to even look at Biden much less listen to him ramble into the abyss when he talks.

This position he currently holds is one of the more stressful in the US, if not the world. So, at his age, he is not going to be as sharp and agile as he was at 70, 60, 50, etc.

If he is re-elected in November, he will be 86 by the time he leaves office, in 2028.

I'm hoping all goes just fine with this speech--which I think it will.

The thing that is of concern is if he is re-elected, the VP has perhaps the strongest chance ever to become the US President, due to the sitting President's age (God forbid, but it could be a reality). And that would be VP Kamala Harris.

Not sure if she has the chops to be President? But I think if that did happen her cabinet expertise would be just fine to lean on, as experienced as they are.
To be President of the United States? LOL. She doesn’t have the chops to be President of a local chapter of the PTA.

I won't, he's just going to trash talk half the country and call them racists, extemists, yadda, yadda. The rest of his speech will be lies, misinformation, propaganda about how all these wars he has us involved in, in Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, Syria, Iraq, and Iran are not his fault and even if they were, he's doing one bang up of a job as war-pig-in-chief.

He'll be reading word for word, w/o any ad-lib I'm thinking. They know if he goes off script, he could be taking the entire DNC over the cliff w/ him.

There's a good chance that something out of the ordinary will occur. I'll watch it for that reason.

It's like the people who watch NASCAR, hoping for a wreck...guilty as charged.

He could withdraw his candidacy at the end of his reading, but very unlikely that he'd resign.

What kind of physical preparation are they giving him? Making him stand up for 30 minutes every evening?

Stationary bike? Leg presses? Stair climber? I'd love to know more about that part of it.

He tripped twice going up the short stairs on Air Force One today. TWICE.

I, for one, cannot wait for the SOTU ... and the live thread here on CD.

It should be a dumpster fire.

So you don't think he will ramble, lose his place, say "errr... whatever..." and go back to script?

How do we turn it into a drinking game?

Drink when Biden says:

MAGA
our democracy
white supremacy/supremacists


What else?

I've said this same thing before. Given how rapidly his corpse is decomposing, it would not shock me to see him keel over. You only get so many heartbeats, and this guy is no fitness addict.

"No joke"
"The former president"

Extra credit if this old fool says "Is Jackie here? Where's Jackie?"
