And the little tyrant berated us, all that did was earn him angry glares and much bad mouthing of him among ourselves after the speaker left the stage.

People like that are narcissistic and don't tolerate disagreement, so they surround themselves with yes-men. Then when they run up against people with independent thought who aren't their groveling sycophants, they get angry and resentful of the people. Which by the way is why they surround themselves with yes-men in the first place.

There was one episode where a HH-60 picked up a heart attack victim off a boat and the PJ rescue swimmer performed CPR for 45 minutes until they made it to a hospital in Alaska..and the man survived because.


It just goes to show how truly ignorant some people are.

Houseplant? Houseplants serve a purpose, Biden does not.

Which was exactly what Biden was trying to do.

All of these men were in much sharper and much better shape overall. Bush II was a bit buffoonish at times, but he was still there. He just had weird mannerism or whatever.

Biden is a husk. He reads his speeches and doesn't truly know what he's saying. Not really, he's not sharp and not versed in the material. You can tell.

The snippets I saw of the speech was embarrassing. The people there at the graduation ceremony couldn't give a rip that Biden was speaking to them.
Speaking of all the other presidents. That joke Biden told, which he did not get applause for, was the same joke President Reagan told them 33 years ago. LINK Reagan got an immediate applause and laughter.


Joe "the plagiarist" Biden figured he was supposed to get the same laughter and applause Reagan received in '88, except that Biden, in the fashion of the bumbling incoherent senile old fool, messed up the wording of the joke. The graduates in 2021 were trying to figure out what the hell our President just said. Note to Biden, don't chastise people for not understanding you when you speak gibberish.

Biden is usually terrible at jokes. They really make him seem out of touch (and maybe he is). He needs to stop trying to be a comedian, because he sucks at it.

He broke the first rule of giving a speech. Don't tell your audience to clap or react if they don't want to.
Well, he should know a lot about "dull" and "dim" as in dim-witted, dullard.
