#1 To be fair, Kayleigh McEnany used three-ring binders too. But not to remember who to call on.

#2 We expect our President to be able to speak extemporaneously. The Biden Press Conference was a joke, and a very bad one at that.

#3 He knew who to call on and what questions rach would ask, with the response written on cards.

#4 Clownshow ..A new low in the history of recent presidents, heralding the Decline & Fall of America

There's a precedent:
Rome: Tiberius, Caligula, Nero, Domitian, Commodus
End 20c/early 21c USA: Clintonius - Epsteinian, W the Shrub, Soetoro-Nullius, Orange-Hominoid, Plugsian

... and soon, La Puta Mulata

#5 Dunno if it's dementia or what but his performance in that press conference was feeble.

Have to give him credit though. He effectively limited the number of questions by giving long, rambling answers to the few questions he fielded. He talked and talked and talked without saying much of anything.

His response to the question about North Korea was particularly weak as he was obviously reading the answer from his notes, looking down at the notes the whole time. You know damn good and well the NORKS were watching. The whole world was watching.

I thought it was most telling when I watched the ABC Nightly News that they reported what Biden said but they showed no video clips at all from the press conference. Instead they showed a few still photos. The reason was obvious.

Remember how Trump would hold impromptu press conferences on the White House lawn as he made his way to Marine One? He'd banter back and forth with the likes of CNN's Jim Acosta or CBS's Paula Reid even though he knows they hate his guts. They hit Trump with their best shots but he used no notes or teleprompters as he gave concise answers off the top of his head. And he'd do it all the time. Good times.

Imagine how uncomfortable and embarrassed those reporters must have been watching their guy fumble and stumble his way through that farce, striking out on the few softballs they were allowed to pitch.
