Photographs taken during President Joe Biden’s poorly received Thursday press conference reveal that he used a “cheat sheet” with the names and faces of the reporters pre-selected to receive an answer from him in response to certain questions. The cue cards also contained talking points for him to repeat during the press conference, such as his plans for infrastructure spending.
Talking points such as “The United States now ranks 13th globally in infrastructure quality — down from 5th place in 2002,” and, “China spends 3 times more on infrastructure than U.S.” could be seen on the cue cards held in the hands of the President.

Another piece of paper contained the names and headshots of reporters present at the press conference, with some names circled to indicate which ones would be allowed to receive a response from the President.
Though Biden’s use of cue cards to screen questions and speak about policy is unprecedented for a commander-in-chief, supporters have argued that the move makes sense given Biden’s past history of gaffes, such as confusing his wife for his sister and forgetting the name of his Secretary of Defense, former Raytheon board member Lloyd Austin.
Despite his helpful cue cards, Biden still managed to make numerous gaffes during Thursday’s press conference.
In one instance, Biden promised to “say something outrageous” but then appeared to entirely forget what he was talking about and moved on:
50 years ago a dumb rich kid. No a dumb rich old man ; thanks to DOMINION PRESIDENT!
I couldn’t watch it all. It was completely scripted and rehearsed and even them, idiot Biden couldn’t pull it off. He managed to lie and not get called on the lies by his friendly partners in the media as he avoided calling on anyone that would not play the cooperation game.
His main accomplishment was to confirm he cannot handle the job of President. He is even failing as “president*”.
Also, I seem to remember him pledging he would only be a one-term “president*”. Something change?
Leftsts are actually saying “why is this a big deal?”
Objectivity escapes them, but plausible deniability is all they have.
greg will be around soon to Dem-splain how this wasn’t what it so obviously is:
A scripted stage-show and a limiting of the free press.
We live in an illegitimate Dictatorship, and enough dumb white people are cheering it on.
@Nathan Blue: Well, it is no big deal. No one expected anything more from this moron. It’s only that such an incompetent failure is supposedly running the country. So, the question is, who IS in charge? Who DID all that fraud hand power over to?
Luke Rudkowski:
Do you expect anyone to keep track of the names and media connections of scores of correspondents who might turn up in rotation at any presidential press conference, you effin’ idiot?
Looking though Rudkowski’s Twitter posts, I notice he never seems to have any intelligent, substantive comments about what is actually said. He’s just one more snarky little right-wing twit rolling out vacuous commentary for already-empty brains. They seem to be proliferating like cockroaches since rational, traditional conservatives capable of clearly articulating the reasons for their philosophical positions have vanished from the scene.
There was no fraud that in any way affected the outcome of the election, as anyone who has followed the news concerning Giuliani and Powell beyond the point where they hopped down off their soap boxes should realize. Massive election fraud was a LIE.
Several of the conservative press corps noticed their assigned seats were placed BEHIND the camera riser.
That meant the camera could NOT swerve around “If” they were called on to catch them on camera asking their question.
So, it was all a set up.
Only those 10 people with the numbers 1 thru 10 next to their photos were called on (in order.)
One of the questions was answered with a script read in its entirety by Joe.
That’s not a press conference.
That’s theater.
@Greg:
Nope wrong again look to Green Bay. Maricopa county and fulton county. PA a real hot mess. WaPo lied again about Sidney.
Bidens presser was fake totally scripted.
@Greg:
Did Trump use a cheat sheet? Did you happen to see how many people were in the room? If the idiot Biden can’t remember who’s who (and which question they submitted well in advance so he could already have his answer formulated and rehearsed) then he is as demented an idiot as we all suspect. Good Lord, you think you HELPED?
Idiot Biden is not some guy that showed up in DC a week ago not knowing anyone. He’s been in Washington 48 years and knows (or knew) everyone in the business. For the first press conference in three months, the media outlets are not going to send in their newly hired trainees that are still on 90 day probation; the send in their veterans and if the idiot Biden can’t remember their names… well, he’s an idiot. And, he’s an idiot.
And a liar.
And a rapist.
And a racist.
And a CCP tool.
And an utter embarrassment.
@Greg: #3…before #5
As I said, greg will swoop in and give the standard non-argument that’s bleeding across social media.
Uh, you call on someone, and they tell you their name and their organization. Then you take the question.
This was a fake presser. Period.
But please say something like “Biden was merely organized, unlike Trump”.
@kitt, #8:
NOBODY has produced ANY credible evidence of significant election regularities, and they’ve had every opportunity to do so. SIXTY COURT CASES BEFORE SIXTY DIFFERENT JUDGES, and they don’t come up with diddly squat.
Giuliani and Powell, Trump’s primary accomplices in the election fraud disinformation campaign, have essentially acknowledged that they were pitching bullshit in their statements made in court. They publicly lie to his base, but they change their tune the moment they’re confronted with legal consequences for their lying. THAT is a FACT.
@Greg: Judges in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Georgia would disagree with you.
Which judges, and what cases?
Biden excels at his first news conference. The media embarrass themselves.
Joe Biden is giving left parties the world over a masterclass in how to use power
That’s the reality.
@Greg: They’ve been covered and discussed here. The fraud is real. Democrats rely on it.
@Greg:
That’s your propaganda. Get it straight.
Biden is not the legal President of the United States, and certainly not competent in any way shape or form. Biden is more of a hollow shell than was Barak Obama.
Try again.
Who do you work for, by the way? You’ve still never answered. Only a paid operative could bend reality and simply ignore truth as you do.
I simply love how greg is too chicken shit to answer me, as I’ve trounced him so many times in the past as to make him my bitch.
@Nathan Blue: Cmon, man! Greg has a totally incompetent, lying, racist, corrupt rapist idiot to defend. He can’t answer tough questions, like did Trump ever have to use flash cards to survive a press conference of sycophantic media or why idiot Biden hasn’t addressed his own son lying on a federal background check form to illegally purchase a firearm… which his wife tossed in a public trashcan adjacent to a school.
All the Loyal Boot Licker,s for Biden the Stupid and the Democ-Rats like the New York Pravda(Times)and the CNN the Fake News Network
