Joe Biden is planning a regular shadow briefing on coronavirus to start as early as Monday to show how he would handle the crisis and address what he calls the lies and failures of President Trump.
Biden gave a preview of what’s to come in a conference call with reporters Friday, where he listed a litany of false and misleading statements from Trump, who has been holding regular White House press conferences concerning coronavirus preparedness and response that have been broadcast live on all major networks.
“President Trump stop saying false things, will ya?” Biden said. “People are worried they are really frightened,

The worst that that could happen to Poor Old Joe is that some one actually watches him at work.

Has anyone actually met all these frightened people that the Press and the DNC are telling us are out there? I have not met one of these nitwits, I have seen them on TV pretending to be reporters but other than that, not so much.

In response to LadyChurchhill, I did encounter a couple who crossed the street to avoid me when I was outside for a walk. I'd say they're scared.
I wonder if old Joe isn't going to wind up convincing people that they're much worse off than they think. That might not play well.

Some day at a Chinese Virus briefing, some dopey reporter will say to Trump, "Well Joe says ...".
Trump's response: "Joe who?"
Reporter: "Biden."
Trump:
"Joe Biden has no official status to provide information about anything. He also has no medical knowledge."
"This is the guy who, as part of BO's team, let the SARS virus go unchecked until LOTS of Americans had already died."
"This is the same guy that often doesn't know what town he is in."
"If you want to cover Joe's prescription for America, attend his press conferences but don't expect me to address his inaccurate and misleading silliness here."
"Don't be surprised when his information steers some of America badly wrong that there will be a big backlash and those who helped disseminate his propaganda will be held accountable."

Biden’s nursing team are taking a big chance letting him talk every day. The odds of him saying something off the wall stupid are not in his favor.

Sounds like treason and sedition to me. Wait, hasn't that been going on since the inauguration in 2017? Why stop now. This is not only unnecessary it is dangerous and completely inappropriate.

Joe has some form of dementia, period. He gets confused easily. He is angered easily and gets in people's faces and could get violent. His impulse control and his mouth control have never been great to begin with but now, they are gone. This is elder abuse. This will not improve his image.
What is his wife thinking!!??

I hope their video conferencing goes much better than last week. Maybe it is the answer to "Where's Joe" and may not be. Anyhow, it really shows how much he disrespects President Trump.

If Biden were a child, this could be dismissed as playing house. As he is not, this is merely pitiful elder abuse of a senile old man.

This stunt could mean political suicide for Old Joe. I hope Obola is able to contact him and tell him again to shut up. We really need him in that general election.

Personally, I'm still waiting for a John Kerry statement. With the travel ban he will be unable to do it from France or Iran.

Old Jo is caught in an interesting position. His handlers have to fashion a campaign for him, without going to the usual rallies.
why no usual rallies? First, Kung Flu restrictions on large gatherings are limiting factors on his events, but moreso, his inability to draw crowds under normal circumstances. So his handlers will prop him up in front of the camera, and feed him the lines about DJT's supposed ineffectiveness. they will find loudmouths like Dr. Zeke Enmanuel to bash dJT on every action taken to deal with Kung Flu.
(I enjoy typing Kung Flu as much as I enjoy typing Dead Ted Kennedy. I realize I am being petty, but i'm no NASCAR driver.)
Biden's handlers are being especially evil, in my opinion, causing damage to the political fabric of our country, at a time when unity is important. I suspect that there will be no presidential debates between DJT and biden, because Biden's handlers will make impossible demands as to the structure of the debates. They cannot afford to allow their impaired candidate to go up against the President.
so they, and Biden, will snipe from the sidelines.

LOL, like the true parasite he is, Lamprey Biden latches onto the man who is getting the attention, the crowds and who is shouldering the responsibility. Something neither Joe or BO ever did. As usual, any unscripted moments will show Biden to be the mean, crazy, pathetic blustering fool he has always been.
