This week at the White House, John Kirby, whose main job duty now seems to be trying to convince people Joe Biden is still calling the shots, was asked the following by reporter James Rosen:
With the public schedule for @POTUS empty again, I asked Adm. John Kirby of the @WhiteHouse National Security Council just now: "Who is running the country?" "President Joe Biden," Kirby answered, citing Mr. Biden's unannounced call today with Indian Prime Minister @narendramodi… pic.twitter.com/6wvqKMay59

Kirby dismissed Rosen's question, which was basically asking if Biden's on permanent vacation now. Kirby said of Biden, "you cannot unplug from a job like that, nor does he try to":

Call us crazy, but this looks like Biden might be just a tad "unplugged" today:
Crooked Joe Biden is currently lounging on the beach in Delaware as he enjoys his second straight week of vacation.

Biden isn’t even pretending to run the country. Here he is 10 minutes ago… pic.twitter.com/fJyBVh7UgG

In fairness to Biden, it was *checks watch* 2 p.m. on a Thursday.
Are they planning to keep Biden hidden on "vacation" until a new President is elected?

At least we've gotten past the "Biden's sharp as a tack behind closed doors" gaslighting. Now we've got a president who clearly isn't running anything and a VP who's pretending she has nothing to do with anything that's happened in this administration.
It is growing increasingly common for the @WhiteHouse to publish blank schedules for @POTUS. pic.twitter.com/OV0riom2tr

Yep, the country's in the best of hands!
