    Biden has confused Iraq for Ukraine twice in the last 24 hours

    • President Joe Biden has mistakenly said "Iraq" when meant "Ukraine" twice in the last day.

    • On Tuesday night, he referred to the "onslaught on Iraq" at a fundraiser in Maryland.

    • On Wednesday morning, he said Putin is "clearly losing the war in Iraq."
    On two separate occasions in the last 24 hours, President Joe Biden has mistakenly referred to Ukraine as "Iraq."

    On Wednesday morning, as Biden spoke with a group of reporters outside the White House before departing for Chicago, a reporter asked the president if he believed Russian President Vladimir Putin had been weakened by recent events in Russia, including an abortion rebellion by the leader of the Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin.

    "It's hard to tell," Biden replied. "But he's clearly losing the war in Iraq. He's losing the war at home. And he has become a bit of a pariah around the world."

    Nobody cares about the slip, he continued to speak about Nato, Japan etc. so his mind was in the right place and context.

    Biden has made slips like this his whole career.

    But speaking of very elderly presidents, Reagan did not until he had serious dementia and Trump was much more eloquent and brighter 10 years ago and now he is unintelligible very often on the stump.

    I have always said, if you can't pass the physical and mental tests an airline pilot must, the presidency is too demanding. Until that changes, it is what it is.

    The mental acuity should go for everyone on the hill. They can remain being fat fux except for POTUS.

    Maybe y’all need to read the context of the Tweet. You know, the info stating it is altered, fake video.
     
  10. It's so nice having a President who doesn't know what he is saying half the time. LOL
