A job at this level has to depend on a local ambulance service???

[phil_]

He's taking responsibility, but there were a lot of people fumbling the ball.

"You can't have my coffee!" 😂

[DanielNiconSr]

He went AWOL. Hiding his condition from his boss and the Americans.

[mtmc]

WE need leadership NOW! I started to write we need NEW leadership <<<< but we just need COMPETENT Leadership

[BigGabbin]

Atleast Joe is being more discreet in his hair sniffing.

[TheCaffeinatedOrganist]

Could it be that the White House isn’t actually in charge of anything?

[ICBMIII]

What’s crazy Joe doing to that poor girl—the guy needs to be institutionalized.

[TheFriendlyPsychopath]

Looks like karma is coming to Austin for all those killings he authorized.

[daveyoung]

Why doesn't cbs say anything about how incoherent biden is and how he is creeping out that poor girl?

[fredbailey]

I mean even if we were not on the brink of war it would have been bad to do this but here we are on the brink of war and he just disappears You can't do that

[Traveler-PKK]

Look at Afghan pullout - who took responsibility for that 🤔

[pennyfrance]

Many people ask for no lights or sirens. Nothing nefarious here. It's a non-emergency transport.

If Austin is on Lupron treatment for prostate cancer he should step down. Lupron wipes out a man’s testosterone. This affects a man’s mood, strength, drive, and judgement.

[rridderbusch]

The rest of us with a UTI get an Rx called in by our doctors.

[EnronnSierra]

That girl got weirded out by Biden. 🤣🤣

[SpencerWilliamsIV]

He could have done a better job? He could have done his job.

[IamRemoWilliams]

This is why you do not have Lapse of judgment and Joe gives candy trears for bad behavior.

[GiverJene]

Grassley is also in the hospital I hope covered the same as Diane F was covered and general Austin

[tnndll]

Get well soon, General. Disagreements aside, do get well.

How is this important to any one? People were still doing their jobs. He had a qualified, second to continue the work effectively.
What's Mitch McConnell's health status? Is he still motionless and speechless at the podium during a press conference?
FDR hid the fact that he couldn't walk for years. One president was on his deathbed, and his wife took over his job in secrecy. This is not important, unless you want it to be.
