“Am I allowed to take any questions?”

Your body processes drugs that you take. The rate at which they leave your body depends on the individual medication, You get an idea by how often you need to take something that has been prescribed for you. Medications taken 2-4 four times a day are generally processed fairly rapidly and are out of your bloodstream within a couple of days after they are discontinued.  It’s very clear that the drugs given to Joe Biden for his SOTU speech are completely out of his system and he is back to his old self.

Literally his old self.

Which lead one to the question – Who is really running the show?

It’s NOT Joe Biden.  Biden is NOT in charge.

On Thursday Biden was at a campaign stop in Michigan and asked a staffer

“Can I take a couple questions?”

“Yeah, we’re going to take a few questions,” was the response and then the staffer whisked Biden away.

The staffer’s response apparently served as a signal to three other aides, who quickly began to herd up the reporters already positioned on the sidewalk about 20 feet away.

“Thank you, press … back in the vehicles,” they shouted, escorting the media away before Biden could take any questions.

Here he is being herded around during that stop

Two days before the same thing happened

“Am I allowed to take any questions?” Biden said, looking around the New Hampshire Democratic headquarters in Manchester at the conclusion of his remarks there during a campaign stop.

“Anybody here a sta–” the president went on, apparently about to say “staff” before trailing off, as the crowd laughed.

Then the feed was cut off. And a few days before that…

A confused-looking President Biden once again admitted he’d get in “trouble” for taking questions at a press briefing Tuesday — just hours after his press secretary staunchly defended his mental acuity.

The 81-year-old commander-in-chief started uttering the familiar yet bewildering refrain before he even lifted the microphone off the table at the launch of a task force aimed at lowering costs for American families.

“I have a lot of questions. I better not start the questions. I’ll get in trouble,” Biden mumbled, garnering a few laughs from the audience.

He delivered a ragged exhale into the mic before placing it back down and stared blankly ahead with his mouth agape, ignoring some of the reporters’ last-ditch attempts to squeeze in a final question as they were leaving.

“Oh my Lord. This man is not well,” former Democratic Party campaign adviser Peter Daou opined on X.

No, he’s not well. During his meeting with the Irish Prime Minister Biden needed a note card to know next to whom he was sitting. The card had a picture of the Prime Minister and instructions how to pronounce his name as well as what Biden was to say.

None of this is new but it is getting worse.

Two years ago Biden was about to attempt to answer a question about Afghanistan was he was escorted away  by a senior adviser:

Here is Biden’s Senior Moment of the Week

Why doesn’t the press ask why Biden needs permission to take questions?

“You guys are bad. I’m not supposed to be answering all these questions,” the president said at the time. “I’m supposed to leave, but I can’t resist your questions.”

He repeated the sentiment just one month later, telling one journalist he’d “get in trouble with staff if I don’t do this the right way.”

Joe Biden is the damn President of the United States, yet his staff is in complete control of him and his actions. Exactly from whom does he need permission to answer questions? He is not in charge.

So who is?
