Biden Goes Blank, Gets Confused About American Hostages, Makes Despicable Comment on Smirnov Case

Joe Biden made some remarks on the death of Alexi Navalny on Friday.

Biden blamed Russian leader Vladimir Putin for his death, emphasizing, "Putin is responsible."

While he made a brief tribute to Navalny, he turned it back to his constant complaint, saying that we had to provide more money to Ukraine because of this. He claimed, as he has in the past, that the "failure to support Ukraine will never be forgotten."

Then you could see him squinting and reading off the teleprompter as he attacked former President Donald Trump, but his brain seemed to break in mid-point as he just stopped and looked so old and out of it.

"I guess I should clear my mind a little bit and not say what I'm really thinking," Biden eventually said.

One reporter asked him about the threat he made to Russia about grave consequences if they harmed Navalny. I guess, just as his "don't" warning didn't stop the Iran-backed militants, his "consequences" warning didn't stop Russia.

Biden's response was that Russia has seen a lot of consequences over the past three years (never mind that Navalny's death was just announced), but that they were considering the question. Is Russia going to get the heads up as to the possible targets like the Iran-backed militants did?

Then Biden flipped his lid and started doing that weird whispering and screaming thing he does about Congress being off for two weeks and not passing the supplemental bill for aid to Ukraine.

He called it "outrageous."

Um, Joe? You're off on vacation almost 40 percent of the time. You haven't done anything to fix our own border, and you don't have any of the anger you're showing here about the mess that you've made with it. Biden couldn't even be bothered to go to East Palestine for a whole year until Friday, while he took all kinds of vacations over the past year. Indeed, once he's done his drive-by few hours there, he's off on another vacation to his beach home in Delaware later Friday.

He also spoke about that security threat reported on earlier in the week, claiming it didn't have anything to do with nuclear weapons, that it had to do with the ability to launch a system to target satellites in space but that it had not been launched and he didn't believe it to be a current threat.

Then, he was asked about the Israel-Hamas war and the actions in Gaza. Biden claimed it was necessary that there be a temporary ceasefire to get the hostages out. But then he got lost as he was trying to read from his notes when he tried to address the subject of the American hostages still being held.

He kept looking, and it didn't look like he found it, so he was just filling in words, talking about a "hostage deal." But there doesn't appear to be any announced possible deal on the table that hasn't already been rejected.

Then Biden did something that's truly disgraceful. He commented on the indictment of the confidential human source Alexander Smirnov, who had told the FBI about the Biden bribery allegations. Now, there are already questions about this happening to someone who claimed to have evidence against Biden. But now, on top of that, Biden is making a definitive comment, claiming he is "lying." That could potentially prejudice the case and taint the jury pool. That is particularly bad. He was also smirking about it as the reporter asked the question, like the cat who swallowed the canary.

He claimed the impeachment effort against him "should be dropped." "It's been an outrageous effort from the beginning," he ranted.

Then he said, "See you in Ohio," and shuffled out. He was finally leaving for East Palestine.

"See you in Ohio," Biden says as he shuffles out of the room.

Alexei Navalny's Death in a Prison Camp Was a Message From Putin to the World and to Russia
