In a surprise move, Joe Biden showed up at the White House press briefing on Friday.
The reason he showed up was because he wanted to brag about the jobs numbers. But that showed how clueless he is, when the thing at the top of everyone's mind is the crisis affecting people in the areas hit by Hurricane Helene where people are still in trouble.
How clueless was he? When he came in he made a weird comment about, "Welcome to the swimming pool."
BREAKING: Biden (or whatever's left of him) shuffles into the briefing room for the first time in his presidency.

Maybe not the best comment when Americans have been swept away in flood waters.
He immediately started slurring.
He seemed to copy Kamala's word salad talent.
BIDEN (COOKED): "The strength of the American economy uh, uh, is, uh, uh, it's about the strength of the American economy"

He continued to repeat his common lies about "creating 16 million new jobs."
The only thing he said about the hurricane was there were going to be "unforeseen costs."
Then, this was truly delusional. He said he would think about other "alternatives" rather than striking Iranian oil fields. Biden was asked about if Netanyahu was trying to influence the election, and he should have just knocked that down. Instead, he fed the conspiracy theory. Unbelievable.
BIDEN: "No administration has helped Israel more than I have. None. None. None. Bibi should remember that."

He is completely and totally gone — delusional. Kamala covered it up. Shame on all of them. pic.twitter.com/jBz9c6oqlm
He insisted no administration had helped Israel more than him. That's not true, because former President Donald Trump increased the peace for Israel and the Middle East. "Bibi should remember that," he said ominously. "Whether he's trying to influence the election or not, I don't know, but I'm not counting on that."
Biden was asked if he had spoken to Netanyahu, and he got all defensive but ended up admitting he personally hadn't been in contact with him, although the teams had been in contact with each other.
He seems to despise Netanyahu more than Iran, Hamas, or Hezbollah. The lunacy is astonishing.
He refused to say what sanctions, if any, he would put on Iran.
He said barely anything about the hurricane. It was incredibly troubling that he was more concerned about bragging about what he perceived as good news versus answering questions about Americans in need.
What he did say was that he and Kamala Harris were the same. That, of course, doesn't help her sell that she's "new" or any kind of change.
Biden says he is in "constant contact" with Kamala Harris.

"We're singing from the same song sheet. She helped pass all the laws [that resulted in record high inflation]. She's a major player in everything we've done."
Biden is Kamala. Kamala is Biden. pic.twitter.com/3OGmmPKYv2
That was also funny, given that CNN was just about to cut away to cover Kamala's remarks when Biden came to talk. So they either weren't coordinating and weren't in "constant contact. Or maybe he was trying to step on her while she was trying to talk about the temporary settlement on the port strike.
CNN says they were just about to go live to Kamala's speech in Detroit when Biden appeared at the press briefing — "clearly overshadowing her."

"Is the left hand not talking to the right hand?"

Then he tells White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre he has to go after answering a few questions and not really offering much as to the hurricane.
Biden — clearly weak and distressed — tells Karine Jean-Pierre, "I gotta go, kid," after answering only a handful of questions in the press briefing room.

This is the decline Kamala covered up. pic.twitter.com/Xs64XGId97
I don't know if he's going to hold it together until he's out.
