Joe Biden Is Wandering Around Michigan Saying Really Weird Stuff Again

There's a long-running meme on the internet that shows a mother turning around in a car and shouting at her kid, "Why can't you just be normal." He responds by shrieking uncontrollably. That's Joe Biden. Why can't this dude just be normal?

On that note, it's Thursday, February 1st, and the president is currently wandering around Michigan saying weird stuff again. He's like an escaped nursing home patient.

I'm not an expert on senility, but I suspect a common symptom is a person continually saying the same incoherent things over and over. How many times has Biden delivered that line about deer in Kevlar vests? Or said that his son died in Iraq? Or claimed he was told as vice president by an Amtrak conductor who retired in 1993 that he road over a million miles?

And how many times has Biden randomly shouted at someone during a public appearance, "Don't jump"? It's such an odd thing to keep saying. In this case, the people he's speaking to are seated in a booth. Does he think they are going to climb on the table and swan dive a daunting three feet? Besides, isn't making jokes about suicide something a president should probably refrain from?

Things didn't get any better when Biden showed up at an event to proclaim his support for unions.

Do we know? Why would we know? Biden's penchant for stopping mid-thought to proclaim "anyway" is another one of his peculiar tics in public. It testifies to a man whose memory is failing him, even in this most mundane of moments. That doesn't seem like a particularly good trait for someone who occupies the Oval Office.

Then there's what I like to call Biden's "Forrest Gump syndrome," referring to his penchant to place himself at the center of any situation, no matter how absurd. One day, the ostensibly Catholic Biden will say he went to a black church growing up and helped spawn the Civil Rights movement. The next, he will say he went to synagogue. He'll tell you he worked as a truck driver and was an all-star football player in his spare time. Of course, none of that is true, but that hasn't stopped Biden from making the claims.

Biden claims he “got through school” because of the “largest GM facility and the largest Chrysler facility outside of Detroit.”

When someone claims they "got through school" because of large auto factories in their home state, you'd assume that means they were an autoworker. Is Biden adding another job to his resume?

By the way, in this same appearance, the president fibbed about his college football career again.

Biden claims he was the “runner-up in state championship football scoring.”

He's a real-life Forrest Gump, except unlike the movie, nothing he says actually happened. Is that the senility? Or is it just who Biden is and the senility is preventing him from hiding it like he used to? I'm not sure it really matters. It's all bad. It's all disqualifying.

But hey, at least he has enough wherewithal to navigate a room, right? Or not.

Watching Biden try to exit a stage, leave a room, or work a crowd is a bit like watching a five-year-old try to do long-form division. It just doesn't work. Do you know what else doesn't work? Joe Biden's presidency.
