Quote:A cheat sheet held by President Biden during a Wednesday press conference revealed that the 80-year-old commander in chief had advance knowledge of a question from a journalist.

“How are YOU squaring YOUR domestic priorities — like reshoring semiconductors manufacturing — with alliance-based foreign policy?” read a question from Los Angeles Times reporter Courtney Subramanian.

The revelation came during a joint press conference with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol that discussed growing nuclear threats from North Korea — as the nations celebrate the 70th anniversary of their alliance.

Another cheat sheet showed the names of other Biden administration officials to relay the order remarks would be delivered at the press conference.



It’s not the first time Biden’s crib notes have been outed by speedy photojournalists.

Last June, the president exposed a comically worded cheat sheet with detailed instructions.


“YOU enter the Roosevelt Room and say hello to participants,” the note read, then immediately directed the oldest-ever president, “YOU take YOUR seat.”

In July 2021, POTUS accepted an embarrassing note from an aide — which was also snapped by a photographer — that said: “Sir, there is something on your chin.”

Biden has reportedly bristled at aides disrupting his approach to messaging, even when it puts him at odds with administration policy.

In March, the president unexpectedly called for President Vladimir Putin to be removed from power following the Russian invasion of Ukraine — comments that White House officials later had to walk back.



The cheat sheets have also fueled Republicans’ speculation about Biden’s mental acuity.

The president’s physician reported Biden was in good health in February, but refused to field questions from reporters about his cognitive strength.

Biden announced Tuesday he would seek the Democratic Party’s nomination for re-election in 2024.

No pshit.

The worst kept secret there is.

Does anyone really think that Biden would last 30 seconds in a non-scripted event of any kind???

We're talking about a guy who had to be herded away by the easter bunny so he wouldn't say anything to reporters.

This is why we need something like the UK's Prime Minister's Questions Time.

The bolded above is a straight up TRUTH.

The best proof of it was last April when Obama visited the White House. EVERYONE was mobbing Obama and flat out ignoring Biden*.

Biden* shuffled around trying to get Obama's attention; calling out his name, and looked absolutely lost and confused by the crowd. EVERYONE IGNORED BIDEN* TO CHAT WITH OBAMA (who was totally enjoying his visit to the White House).

Keep in mind most of the attendees were Democrats. Everyone totally avoided Biden*; just hilarious yet also a bit sad to watch the POTUS shuffle around like an intimidated second grader.

Washington Post Gives up the Game in Trying to Rescue Joe Biden After ‘CheatSheetGate'

Quote:It never fails. A Democrat politico boxes themselves into a corner, and the mainstream media jumps into action in an effort to play clean up.

It’s happened many times throughout many different Democrat presidential administrations, and it happened yet again on Thursday when the Washington Post swooped in to try and rescue President Joe Biden in the aftermath of what some have called “CheatSheetGate.”

To quickly summarize the controversy, during a Rose Garden press conference alongside South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on Wednesday, Biden was spotted by photographers carrying notes just prior to taking questions from the press. On one page of the notes were the name and photograph of a reporter, Courtney Subramanian from the Los Angeles Times, along with a handwritten note at the top that read “Question #1.” There was also a question typed underneath her information, as though what she wanted to ask had been pre-submitted to the Biden White House for approval.

Though as CNN noted the question Subramanian asked “was not identical” to the typed one on the notes, the essence of what she asked was pretty much what was on Biden’s note, as the Washington Post admitted in an article that tried to absolve Biden of any wrongdoing.

“[The cheat sheet question] is generally what Subramanian asked Biden about when he called on her at the joint news conference with South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol,” they wrote.

But while also informing readers that it’s not uncommon for handlers for a president going back many administrations to take the temperature of reporters in advance to see what they might want to ask the president about (which is what we’re supposed to believe happened in this case), in this instance it was “rare” for Biden to have been aware of such a detailed question. They further pointed out that the L.A. Times played word games when asked about it, but essentially confirmed that their reporter did indeed tell the Biden team during an overseas trip what she wanted to ask him at the presser:

But in their advance conversations, reporters rarely offer anything as specific as Subramanian’s topic; the typical answer is “news of the day,” which leaves the options for questioning the president open. “You don’t want to give away your question,” said the veteran reporter. “It’s incredibly bad form to do that.”

White House officials declined to speak on the record, and Subramanian didn’t respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Times, Hillary Manning, said Subramanian didn’t provide White House officials with a specific or even general question in advance of the news conference. However, while covering Biden on a trip abroad, the reporter mentioned to officials that semiconductors was “one of several topics she might want to cover,” said Manning.

In other words, the Biden team indeed knew in advance what Subramanian wanted to ask him, and she was very specific about it.

Amazing to me that all that information was in a piece that was designed to make Joe Biden not look like a “world leader” who needs to have his events micromanaged by aggressive handlers and questions tightly scripted.

The Washington Post says “democracy dies in darkness” – it’s been on their masthead since a month into Donald Trump’s presidency. But as has been reaffirmed since then, they are perfectly okay with that “darkness” as long as it’s a Democrat who is presiding over it.

As I've said before, my problem with the 25th Amendment is that I wouldn't do anything to make Kamala the **** president, even if Joe was crawling around on the floor drooling on my shoes.
