Joe Biden is presently attending the annual G7 summit in Japan, despite the fact that the United States is rapidly approaching a fiscal precipice. The president believed that attending the World Economic Forum in Davos was more important than remaining in Washington to negotiate a solution to the debt ceiling, despite the fact that there has never been a greater waste of time than this gathering.
You must consider whether it is worth your time and money to attend this pointless exercise and observe Joe Biden appear confused in public once again. During the past decade, has the G7 accomplished anything of genuine significance?
Yes — that way, Joe! pic.twitter.com/t7IGypV45Q

According to the footage, none of the other world leaders appear to have difficulty figuring out how to escape the photo session. Being in the midst of the group offers Vice President Biden the distinct advantage of being able to simply follow everyone else’s lead. However, he still manages to become disoriented and hold up the line until he is directed in the proper direction.
Biden has a chronic issue with public disorientation, especially when attempting to exit any type of stage setting. Why does he believe the entire procedure to be so challenging? What specific issue does he have with it? We all already know the answer to this query, despite the fact that the mainstream media is unwilling to assert it publicly.
As soon as he realized where he was, President Biden reprimanded an Australian journalist who attempted to question him about the United States’ current debt limit crisis and the possibility of defaulting on that debt. Biden responded to the reporter with a curt “shush, okay” and then launched into a convoluted defense of his tactics regarding America’s debt ceiling.
“I still believe we’ll be able to avoid a default and we’ll get something decent done,” Biden told reporters while sitting down for a meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. “This — this goes in stages,” he said of negotiations between House Republicans and the White House, which broke down on Friday without an agreement in place. Democrats have pushed for a clear rise in the debt limit, but Republicans have already passed a measure lifting it and are happy to do so in exchange for spending reductions.
“I’ve been in these negotiations before,” Biden said. “What happens is the first meetings weren’t all that progressive. The second ones were. The third one was. And then, what happens is they — the carriers go back to the principals and say, ‘This is what we’re thinking about.’ And then, people put down new claims.”

Without addressing the verbal gaffes in the aforementioned tape, which are to be expected at this point, one of Biden’s signals when he’s asked about a topic he doesn’t like is acting as if he has “been there and done that.” Is it true that he has done this before and that conversations always proceed in this manner, as he asserts? Does negotiation always result in one party refusing to compromise and fleeing to Japan as the nation’s economy implodes? This does not appear to be a standard script, in my opinion.
Biden and his advisors are aware that he no longer has a viable defense. They anticipated that Republicans would dwindle to death and refuse to pass a bill in order to prevent a default. When McCarthy was able to organize his supporters and pass a well-considered strategy, everything changed. The White House’s primary talking point, that Republicans are to blame if the country fails because they have not proposed a workable compromise, abruptly fell by the wayside.
However, the leading press philosophers have persuaded us that demeaning a journalist poses a direct threat to democracy and that the nation’s foundation is being attacked. Unless, of course, the disrespectful individual is a Democrat.
