Karine Jean-Pierre Gaslights: Biden ‘Is As Sharp As Ever’
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed on Wednesday that President Joe Biden is “as sharp as ever” as he faces growing calls to step down following his disastrous debate performance.
Her remarks come as the president, vice president, Biden’s campaign, and the Democratic Party have remained united publicly about Biden remaining as the party’s nominee heading into November.
A reporter asked Jean-Pierre during the press briefing if she believed “that the president is as sharp today as he was when he took this job” and if she’s noticed any kind of “slowdown.”
“What I can say is this is a president who is strong and resolute in delivering for the American people,” she claimed. “That’s what I see. I see a president, when I’m in, sitting in front of him, you know, going through the day or talking about what he’s doing next, he is someone that engages with us. He wants to know, he pushes us, he — you know, probes us, wanting to figure out, like, the bigger picture of whatever we’re trying to explain to him or even granular details.”
“He is as sharp as ever, as I have known him to be,” she continued. “In my engagement and my experience with him, I know, when I walk into the Oval Office or, or see him on Air Force One, I have to be on top of my game. I do. That’s just kind of my engagement with him and how it’s been for the past couple of years.”

Well your candidate doesn't need to sharp. He just has to say emotional stuff... angry emotional stuff... true or not true? It doesn't matter, as long as he keeps saying angry stuff.
I didn't say that, Kweki; you're hallucinating again. 🙄 Biden has had many other policy failures besides the border. Not to mention Biden's dementia, which the liberal media suddenly noticed last Thursday.
A lot of people are better reading a teleprompter than speaking off the cuff. Should we be choosing the president based on that ability? The presidency isn't an improv contest. I support Biden because I prefer his policies to Trump's.
You:
And as for policies, I think Biden could win the November election relatively easily if it weren't for the open border disaster.
@sunsporter1649 That's a funny meme, posted by someone that fills up his free time reposting right-wing blog posts and propaganda outlets that mold your views on a daily basis.
"How does the debate change anything to what is said about policies?"
It changes it a lot. Before the debate disaster, the liberal media were only too happy to cover up Biden's lesser policy disasters (isuch as Afghanistan and inflation. They couldn't ignore the border, since blue-city mayors were complaining about the influx). And of course, the liberal media were only too willing to hide Biden's obvious mental deficiencies because they thought (up until last Thursday) that he had a good chance of winning.
If Biden's (handlers') policies were so good, Kweki, why are the liberal media now clamoring for him to step down?
Answer: they no longer think he can win. It's called POLITICS.
But I have to congratulate you, Kweki ! You went TWO whole comments without calling me a c — t.
@Thinkerbell But that doesn't really change what was said, namely that you "think Biden could win the November election relatively easily if it weren't for the open border disaster.".
The debate doesn't change anything. The media isn't going to help you either. In that particulair conversation, you just believe that Biden is doing something better then Trump does. The only thing that isn't that great is the border issue. You pump as much smoke as you want... but that's what was said in that conversation.
If Biden's (handlers') policies were so good, Kweki, why are the liberal media now clamoring for him to step down?
Because liberal media can be stupid too. If you listen to that debate or read the transcript, instead of watch it. It's pretty clear that Biden was more on point about the actual substance then Trump was. But the aesthetic of him staring and having him mounth open in combination with a couple of dumb statements has become the center of attention. The actual content is forgotten. Which is lucky for Donald, because if they would be hammering on all the lies he told, the xenophobic remarks and the fact that he still won't accept the next result. He always add "if it's fair", but lets be honest, he's been saying that for a while now, and during that time he didn't accept the result of a single election he or his party (under him) was involved in. Not even the one that he won. So yeah... If there was a bit more focus for that, maybe the discourse would be diffrent.
But now, after one bad performance, months before the elections... you got democrats panicking like a bunch of idiots. As if you can change a candidate on a whim... not to mention get the funds for a campaign together in juli. 🤷♂️
"But that doesn't really change what was said, namely that for you "think Biden could win the November election relatively easily if it weren't for the open border disaster." "
And I just told you what I said in FULL CONTEXT, and which you are now dodging.
So to repeat: the liberal media covered up Biden's (handlers') other disasters. If they mentioned them at all, they said "the inflation was Trump's fault," or "Biden was just carrying out what Trump had already agreed to in Afghanistan," etc., etc. They couldn't hide the border disaster because blue-city mayors were publicly complaining.
" If you listen to that debate or read the transcript, instead of watch it."
Yes, yes, Kweki, Leo also made that same lame excuse. It's the same reason Garland only turned over an edited written transcript of the Hur-Biden interview, and refused to turn over the audio tapes, which would have revealed far too much about Biden's mental condition.
But no doubt, Kweki, you would be happy with a president who can't think on his feet, can't articulate off the cuff, and can't carry on an honest news conference... as long as that president is a Democrat.
"But now, after one bad performance...you got democrats panicking like a bunch of idiots."
Wrong again, Kweki. There have been MANY bad performances, but the debate performance was impossible to discount with "cheap fake" rhetoric.
@Thinkerbell But your explanation or added content doesn't make sense. When you mention the border disaster, that's a thing that went on during his entire presidency (and pretty much every presidency before him for the last 20 years). So what you and Leopold (his quote is really clear too) were talking about, where Bidens' policies. And when it comes to those, according to you, Biden would win easily if it wasn't for the border. And what ever happened in the debate, has no bearing on that neither does it matter what the media say.
You are bringing in all this extra stuff, because it's just hard to talk about it. Just a couple of messages ago, what I said never happened. But once I gave you the receipts, then we had to talk about your media obsession, inflation, the debate... it's all pretty tiring to listen too when we can just go back and read what you said in that conversation.
Yes, yes, Kweki, Leo also made that same lame excuse.
It's really not a lame excuse... you can just read the transcript and check what was being said. The problem is just that for people like yourself, substance just ain't that important. What is important is aesthetics, emotions and conspiratorial meanderings. Your reasoning is as sharp as the memes you post and the short easily digestible social media posts that you read, because those are the things that educate you. And that's why it's so hard to care about substance. Because it requires a bit more concentration and it's just not that amusing.
Honestly, if I was an American citizen and I had the right to vote. I would vote for a potplant over Donald Trump. You can run a rotten banana against him, and it will still get my vote. Do you know why? Because Donald Trump represents a theocratic oligarchical project that doesn't give 1 cent about me because I'm not part of the oligarchical class and I'm not a christian. Next to that, the project Trump spearheads has no interest in protecting my health or my environment, because the project gladly sacrifices all of those to oligarchs that want to plunder the commons for their own financial gains. Or he lies about a pandemic, because he was afraid it would hurt him in the polls. In the mean time, Trumps project wages war on minorities, the free press, the freedom of speech, the right to protest, human rights and the rights that I have as a citizen. The supreme court that he helped to shape, actually is the first court in a long while, that took away a right that people had since 1973. Something he's taking credit for. He openly declares, that it's okay to strip citizens of their citizenship, when they don't fall in his favor. He doesn't respect democratic outcomes and can't accept defeat. He doesn't believe in expertise and weaponizes ignorance, which makes it easier to cut regulations for his oligarchical backers. He pampers to a christian clique that wants the federal gouvernement to establish a religion. He wants the state to dictate history, and history should be a mythical narrative that needs to be given in the schools sold as: "a pro-American curriculum that celebrates the truth". His movement is devoided of self-reflection, and any issues it might create are easily blamed on scapegoats that are gleefully bullied by those that can't take personal responsibility. And he openly states that it's okay to break the law, as long as it helps him win. He goes as far as having his lawyers argue in his favor, that the president is immune if they murder a political opponents as long as it's an official act as a president, making sure the law doesn't apply to him. So yeah... Pot plant Vs Authoritarian dictator... for me it's an easy choose.
BTW, if you and sunsporter, were trully and honestly caring about bad performances and sharpness, you would have left your sympathies for Donald Trump behind a long time ago. If you want to watch one of the better ones, just look at the AXIOS interview during the COVID years. That was wild. I don't really care that much about performance though, I rather look at the substance.
