As you may have noticed, the media was enamoured with a New York Times photographer’s “amazing” and “terrific” picture of President Joe Biden Tuesday and his “brilliant juxtaposition” with the painting of Abraham Lincoln behind him. It’s like Biden is the reincarnation of Lincoln, sent to unify a divided country.
We’re not sure what they’ll say about Biden’s performance Wednesday; probably that he was “measured” and “pensive” in his reply to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s quote:
McConnell: “One hundred percent of my focus is on stopping this new administration."
Show this to Republicans the next time they pretend that Biden isn’t seeking bipartisanship.

Biden — eventually — said that he’s worked with McConnell before, during the Obama administration, and gotten things done. We know his opponents like to portray McConnell as a turtle — there are plenty of memes out there — but who’s the turtle here?

Biden doesn't appear to be fully cognizant of what he's saying. pic.twitter.com/sclZ2QQOnZ

It’s his stutter.
That’s one hell of a stutter

September is my guess

You guys got it all wrong. Biden is so virile and energetic he can talk about 5 things simultaneously and gets his point across in snippets.

A good question:
Can anyone list 5 things that Obama did to help Americans?
