President Joe Biden just recently had a couple of sit-downs with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to negotiate the debt ceiling. The Republicans presented a plan quite a while ago that would keep spending at 2022 levels, which is a deal-breaker for the Democrats. America, which Biden assures us is not a deadbeat nation, is on the verge of default.
And apparently, Biden’s headed to Delaware for the Memorial Day weekend. What’s the percentage of time he’s spent in Delaware during his administration? We thought it was around 40 percent.
“It’s time to bring the president off the bench, or bring somebody off the bench. No one’s responding to anything. Kevin’s consistently on message,” said one House Dem. “We have the Oval Office. I’ve never seen anything like it.”https://t.co/hMm8pnDvbo

Told Biden was planning to leave Washington for the weekend, one House Democrat expressed disbelief.
“Please tell me that’s not true,” said the lawmaker. https://t.co/MApgjkg8Aj

He goes on vacation every weekend. 80 year old men with dementia can't work more than 3 days a week.

His wife, Dr. Jill Biden, dares any 30-year-old to keep up with her husband’s busy schedule.

Huh. I guess the debt ceiling isn’t that important then?

Surely @TheDemocrats don’t expect Ol’ Sundown Joe to stick around and do his job…

I'm a democrat, and I cannot express how frustrated I am with the Biden administration and their failure to get anything done. Who is in charge over there??

Does Biden know that he's planning to leave Washington this weekend?
— Davis Fugasi (@davis_fugasi) May 25, 2023
Perhaps he requires another weekend hyperbaric oxygen treatment to improve his substandard cognitive issues

He’s gotta get his dementia meds.

It’s Thursday evening … has he left yet?
Maybe it’s a good thing he’ll be gone:
New: Dems fear they’re losing the debt limit messaging war—and the only answer is more JOE BIDEN.
Lawmakers are begging for WH reinforcements, calling for Biden to give a major address that disputes GOP’s framing of the debate

“A major address.”
This is the funniest thing ever.
60% of Americans disapprove of Biden’s performance, a similar number support the GOP’s debt ceiling strategy, and House Democrats think the secret weapon is….
More Joe Biden?! https://t.co/m66fC3SJiV
