Writing a speech for Biden can be hell.
And that was before the inaugural.

Joe Biden paces as he dictates long portions of his speeches to aides, spinning out thoughts that quickly pile into six, seven or eight paragraphs of copy, only to later be scrapped.
On the 2020 campaign trail, he’d keep groups of supporters waiting inside while he’d hole up in a black car with aides, refining lines of his prepared remarks. Revisions go up to crunch time; it isn’t uncommon for a staffer to be scurrying to the teleprompter with a flash drive just before an event is to begin.
For higher-profile remarks, he’d obsessively rehearse portions until he committed them to memory

Now we're stuck with a dumb shi) president who graduated near the bottom of his class and has to plagiarize his speeches and a first lady who looks like a ford pick up with 200,000 miles on her!

The writer contradicts herself when she says he commits to memory long parts of important speeches, rehearsing them over and over. And then she recounts how he snapped that something in a new speech was something he’d never say - yet he’d said it in a previous speech. That the man has a memory is disinformation. It is the first thing to go and is short-term memory. The brain fails to store new information.
He has been a very nasty, disagreeable Senator. Punishing. He is quick to anger, and that punishing side comes out - even against supporters at his campaign events who asked him difficult questioins. He is a very, very loose cannon. They will have their hands full.

Babbling. It's called babbling. Incoherent, rabid, moronic babbling.

Well one thing is for sure, Biden’s inauguration speech turned out to be divisive, rambling, and uninspiring. It was not a speech that was anyway unifying by insinuating that the 75 million Americans who voted for Trump are White Supremacists.

Politico can shut the front door up; they ordered this special event. May you get what you want and want it after you get it.

A monkey with a typewriter and much paper, given enough time, may produce a complete sentence. That doesn't mean, however, that it makes any sense.

I'm sure whatever they write for the doddering jerk will always get a big thumbs up from Chris Wallace.

I lived in Romania 1983-86 when Ceausescu was in power. Reading this is like reading what his media published about him every day. It was a load of manure and every single person in the country knew it was a load of manure.

I've known several old folks suffering from Alzheimer's--including both my parents. Sure, I can believe Sleepy/Creepy Joe can read a speech, especially with all the Adderall and other treatments they give him beforehand.
But let's see Old Joe stand up in a press conference and respond to questions tougher than, "What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?"
Dr. Jill will have her hands full, struggling to maintain the Great Deception.
