That’s Bidenese for I forgot what I’m talking about. BTW I wrote the title of this rant and the preceding sentence immediately after the presser and before Watters stole my thunder but I’m not going to change them!

Now as I predicted yesterday, the supposed “big boy” presser was primarily restricted to questions about NATO. Now that might be rational given that it came at the end of a NATO conference. But if that was the case then the other NATO leaders should have been there. And I also pondered how they were going to rig the presser given that there is no way that Magoo could possibly cogently respond to unscripted questions for an hour or more. Unfortunately that question was answered almost immediately. He had a list of approved questioners and a notebook which he constantly referred to. So this was the normal “little boy” presser.

Getting to the substance and as you know a pet peeve of mine. Early on in explaining how he single-handedly got Europe on board prior to Putin invading Ukraine, he said he got the intelligence community to declassify information so he could let the European authorities know what we knew. Listen you moron. You’re, unfortunately, the freaking president. You can declassify anything without the approval of anyone else! Not a big accomplishment.

I was as always infuriated when Magoo went off again about corporate management making money. Who the hell do you think is giving them the money? You. Moron! You threw over a trillion dollars into the supposedly inflation reduction act that benefited corporations and not people. You put $8 billion to build ev charging stations and got 8. Who got the undoubtedly non competitive contracts? Your cronies. Likewise with the supposed high speed internet for fly over states. And all his money for Ukraine benefits the military industrial complex.

I’m not going to comment on all the lies he told, but two stood out and I haven’t seen anyone comment on the first. Magoo said he had the endorsement of the UAW. Now that’s partially true but extremely disingenuous. The leadership endorsed him but if I remember correctly, 85% of the membership endorsed Trump. And the second thing which you all know and has already been pointed out by many is his claim that border crossings are lower now than when he took office. Total bullshit!

My takeaway is that Magoo did better than expected but only because it was a scripted presser and the left will never call out his numerous lies.

I said yesterday that Magoo got through his speech with no major screwups. However I was wrong and he fumbled a whopper which I’m pretty sure almost no one caught except one on the internet today. I went back just now and can’t find the article but trust me, Magoo reverted to form and plagiarized Truman’s speech at the start of NATO but read it wrong and screwed it up.

I thought the left would circle the wagons for Magoo today but that didn’t happen. Instead there were several high profile defectors. Now I think that my mistake is that I didn’t factor in that Magoo is supposedly participating in an open, non scripted press conference tomorrow. They know as you know that Magoo is incapable of surviving any such thing. I have serious concerns about how this presser is actually going to be rigged. Everyone knows he can’t do it and it would be gross malpractice for his staff to allow it. So how are they going to fix it? Sure he’ll have cheat sheets and I expect that the press will be told that they can only ask NATO related questions but even that is risky. Now it’s a joint press conference for all the NATO chiefs so maybe they can help cover for him. But I can’t believe that it will be an open no holds barred presser. We’ll just have to wait and see.

And I’m sure you will agree with me. By tomorrow the left media will be all in on Magoo again. They will proclaim his speech tonight as proof that he’s got it going on. Nothing could be further from the truth. As I have said repeatedly, reading off a teleprompter or note cards doesn’t prove anything. Usually he even screws that up but he got through this one without any real screw ups. He was the same mush mouthed idiot he always is and he shouted out the whole thing for no apparent reason. I find that very off putting and ineffective. My speech has always been described as conversational, and I think you could say the same thing about Trump. He doesn’t scream and shout.

Now I think the reason that Magoo does it is that he thinks like putting on the aviators and turning up his collar it makes him look and sound macho. Nothing could be further from the truth. And now for the ultimate irony, if I remember correctly, Hitler screamed his speeches. Yeah the idiot who constantly compares Trump to Hitler is the one emulating him.

I’m sure you have all seen today that everyone is calling out Magoo for saying goodest. Even the NYT and it turns out that the official transcript from ABC has goodest in it so I guess my hearing is still good. It reminds me of the old joke that I’m never wrong. Once I thought I was but it turns out that I was right..

Yesterday I talked about Magoo saying goodest because it was all over social media. However today it wasn’t around any more and I listened to it several times and I’m not sure if he said goodest or good as. It sounds to me like goodest but it could be the other. Listen and decide for yourself but the bigger point that I made is still true. Magoo made it clear that he’s only interested in keeping power and doesn’t care if Trump wins and does everything that Magoo supposedly fears.

I was going to do this and then I wasn’t because everyone has already commented and I thought that maybe I couldn’t add anything. However I decided to because I may have a few insights or observations that others didn’t. So here goes.

Now first I want to credit Stephanopoulos for actually doing a credible job. He kept bringing Magoo back to the actual issues.

And I knew Magoo would fail even before the actual interview aired. That’s because they aired the first few minutes of the interview as a tease before airing the actual interview. And in it after a mostly incoherent series of non sequiturs blaming Trump, Stephanopoulos said but you had problems before Trump ever said anything, and remember by the rules Magoo went first at the beginning and Trump went last at the end, and Magoo briefly froze. He had apparently not been prepared by his handlers to have George challenge anything he said and he couldn’t formulate a response. He doesn’t have the ability to form a cogent response to anything if it’s not covered by some talking point he has ‘learned’. So it was apparent from even before the full interview aired that he was simply incapable of handling even a softball interview if anything he said was questioned.

I’m sure you laughed out loud as I did when Magoo said he tells the truth and Trump is a congenital liar. If there was a congenital liar on that debate stage it was Magoo. He lies nonstop even when his lies have been debunked.

Now one thing you might not have noticed is that Magoo had breathing difficulties. Watch again. His breathing was shallow and made for short and choppy responses. I was particularly aware of this because I had the same problem a couple of times over the past few years. First when I had pneumonia and then again when I had apparently 40 pounds of fluid pressing against my lungs. Both are gone now but I could always tell because I couldn’t sing. Actually I can’t sing anymore anyway but was once a singer in a Catholic school boys soprano choir and I hit puberty and that all changed. Now I still love to sing but not in front of anyone because I suck. But the point is that when I had the problem I could always tell because I didn’t have the breath to finish lyrics.

I also want to comment on Magoo’s nonsense about being tested for Covid and viruses and said he didn’t have any just a cold. Guess what you moron? The common cold is a virus just like Covid and the flu. What did they test him for? STD’s?

And the last thing I’ll comment on is something he said at the end of the interview when George pressed him on if he stayed in the race and lost to Trump and everything he was supposedly against happened and he said that he would okay with that as long as he did his’goodest’. Now there are two things wrong with that response. First as I’m sure you are aware, ‘goodest’ is not a word. I and others might use something like that or mostest bestest as tongue in cheek humor. Magoo doesn’t have the mental acuity to do it and it would be particularly inappropriate to have used it in the point he was making. And more importantly his statement totally revealed his mindset. He doesn’t care about any of his crap policies or you. His only concern is trying to keep power even if it means destroying everything he supposedly stands for.

World leaders know that Magoo is cuckoo for coco puffs. The media keeps trying to pretend that it’s not true, but I’ll give you video proof. I should have commented on this earlier but so far, as far as I have seen, no one has commented so I will. In the so-called cheap fake video of the Italian prime minister corralling Magoo as he was wandering away from the group watch and you will see first Macron and then the others moving the scrum to try to keep Magoo in frame. That didn’t happen spontaneously. They all had to be on the look out for something like this. He’s known by them to be a very dim bulb and they were looking to keep the illusion that the group was headed up by a competent POTUS. Just go back and watch it.

The left has gone back to this woman as their savior. Since she’s a black woman she could blunt any black lash from passing over Kamala and now polls are apparently showing that she is the only one who could beat Trump. Don’t be fooled. These polls are based on an image painting her as the second coming of Lady Di. Nothing could be further from the truth. And she will never run.

Listen she is a lightweight with no accomplishments to her credit. She has it made. They have oceanfront mansions in Hawaii and Martha’s Vineyard and another in the Kalorama area of DC, a very wealthy enclave only a few miles from the White House. They are worth over a hundred million dollars which resulted from book advances and tv projects that no one will ever read or see. She and Barry are treated like royalty every where they go by a complicit press. Why would she give that up?

And now for the overriding reason that she has no interest. She’s never run for or been elected to anything. She’s only ruined school lunches. And most importantly, SHE’S NEVER BEEN VETTED. As I have said before she’s not particularly bright and has been treated with kid gloves. If she becomes the Dem nominee, rest assured that Trump will pull no punches and eviscerate her. And her poll numbers will tank. You can believe that Trump has people putting together damning opposition research. She won’t allow her unjustified image to be destroyed to try to get a job she doesn’t want. Why have everything you do scrutinized every day? She has it made living like a retired queen doing anything or nothing without being challenged. She will not give that up and neither would you!

Recently the stock market has been going up and my observation is that it is tied to how well Trump is doing. As his poll numbers continue to climb so does the market. It reminds me of the huge gains in the market when Trump won in 2016 but before he actually took office and Obama tried to take credit for it but the reality was that the market reacted to the fact that Obama’s disastrous economy was going to end. Economists like Paul Krugman, who has never been right about anything, predicted that if Trump got elected the market would crash. The opposite happened as is always case when he makes a prediction.

One of the points that the Magoo sycophants keep pushing is that his economic policies are raising the market. The opposite is true and the rise is related to the odds that Trump will end the Magoo nightmare.
