So of course, she was on his mind, she was on top of mind for the president. I don’t think it’s all that unusual to have someone top of mind especially when there are big events in her honor.”
WH Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre does the best she can
It is sickening to see the psyops at work in the White House.
Repetition of “top of mind” is designed to make the listeners remember nothing but that phase as if it excuses the senile old dolt.
Saying words that mean one thing but are used to say another – “(it’s not) unusual to have someone top of mind especially when there are big events in her honor.” actually means he is stupid to go and honour a dead woman only to ask for her to be present. But Karine uses those same words to try and excuse this huge gaffe.
I’m also irritated at Karine’s incompetence. All other press Secretaries looked consistently at the Press Corps while answering questions. She is always reading her notes. Totally unprepared and not confident in her own knowledge.
A diversity hire with all the attendant failings.
Park an M1 Tank on the Whitehouse lawn and She/Her is practically Comical Ali.
Even by White House press secretary standards, she is unusually ridiculous.
Clearly, Biden is not actually the President. We have no idea who is making executive decisions but it certainly isn’t him.
It’s hard to argue that Biden is even the face of the administration, they constantly walk back his inane pronouncements. He rarely has anything of gravitas to say, they essentially seem wheel him out when they want to marginalise the GOP. Which in itself seems insane as the pool of people that take him seriously is shrinking.
Kamala isn’t the face either.
I note that the two polls that were inflating Dem House numbers pulled back from their position and there has been a 1 point change in the RCP average overnight. My guess is that they realised the manipulation was only making the Dems complacent and that the real numbers are somewhat worse.
Gollyphobe!
She is that most appalling and – on the left – typical of combinations: intellectually mediocre and arrogant. She was hired because she is black. No other reason.
She was hired because her intersectional status protects her from criticism in large sections of the media. It also allows those sections to marginalise anyone who does criticise her.
“Top of mind” in Biden’s case is an endless empty plain with no visible horizon
TBF, could anyone in the same situation actually be prepared, and I am confident she is fully up to speed with the situation, and knows very well she is trying to spin as strategy, total fuck ups.
Got me beat (yet again) why any of this matters to readers of CL’s fine blog….
The US media is 95% in Biden’s corner….papers and TV and radio etc….while some similar percentage of woke corporations, global influencers, bureaucratic shibboleths promotes him day in / day out….and yet only about 25% of the population has fallen for the con, while 75% think he’s doing a shyte job= the general public is way smarter than the fools on the sinking Democrat ship.
BTW: I guess I’m saying; allow the left even more rope. And, didn’t some military fella make the observation that the time NOT to inter-rupt your enemies is when they are making mistakes? Let the dickheads hang themselves, FFS!
Maybe Biden thought they were holding a seance.
Good point, Mantaray, but he can do a lot of damage until he leaves office.
(I should say, until he leaves the office he’s pretending to hold).
Here’s one reporter at the Where’s Jackie presser who wasn’t buying:
Transcript in The Australian
I reckon she’s cute. I would give a thousand pelts* for the opportunity to turn her.

Rabbit, not beaver.
Both her and Biden are in their respective positions because they are stupid and corruptible. Useful idiots.
It matters, like the oversampling of opinion polls matters, because desperate people who do desperate things that don’t line up with community expectations, often point to the series of fabrications they have made to suggest the unlikely outcome, wasn’t really unlikely at all.
Hear what you’re saying there Mantaray, but out of courtesy and as a service to the species, do you think they might just get on with it already.
There’s much to repair and they’re occupying time, space, and resources.
Neither is Yoko.
Sometimes Jean-Pierre gives a wry smile as though saying to herself ‘can’t believe I sold out to lie for a brain-dead white dude’
Joey O’Brandon is cooked. He is 1 nanoseizure away from being incapable of walking.
And then Harris becomes president. And the MSM will try and turn a sow’s ear into a silk purse.
Suppose things come down to a situation like the Cuban Missile Crisis … and the only thing standing in the way of disaster is the sharp mind of Joe Biden, with his moment of clarity when he tells his back-room committee guys that escalation just isn’t worth it.
Odds?
I don’t think that’s even the scariest thing. The scary thing is how the lunatics really running things would deal with such a crisis. Every indication is that they would just keep doubling down.
During the Cuban crisis, the Kennedy brothers knew they had to make concessions (removing US Jupiters from Turkey) and they maintained a back-channel to Moscow throughout via Soviet ambassador, Anatoly Dobrynin.
The Biden admin has a back channel too, it’s just not quite as impressive.
Tel says:
Zero. Joe is not in that room and he isn’t in coherent communication with any back-room or back-channel.
He’s in his basement, yelling at shadows and pooping his pants while his handlers try to figure out what to do about the noise and the smell.
