Friday Night Open Thread: Absolute Gibberish. Not Only From Joe

Joe Biden cannot express his thoughts. This is a known problem.

I’ve never heard of the website below before, but IF they are telling the truth, it raises a new question.

Biden Speaks Absolute Gibberish at FEMA Meeting – ‘But, Uh, There’s, You Know’
Conservative Brief | 5/25/21 | Martin Walsh

Something is clearly wrong with Joe Biden.

While speaking at a roundtable hurricane briefing from FEMA, Biden began by pushing talking points about how he “insists on nothing less than readiness” and that he plans to double the money the U.S. government will spend to help communities prepare for extreme weather events.

When he attempted to give his thoughts at the FEMA meeting, that’s when things got a little jumbled.

“But, uh, there’s, you know, there’s to be, you know, beginning, uh, this effort for 2021 is, uh…” Biden stumbled.

“I think we’ve learned a few lessons from last year, as well. There’s help, as so, uh, we, you know, being there to help, clear roads, rebuild main streets, uh, so that families can get back to their lives, uh, that’s what FEMA does every single day,” he added.

Where are all the transcripts of what Biden says?

Trump’s speeches, sayings, and press comments were posted religiously by the White House.

CNN, CNBC, and AP accounts of this speech bounced around — avoiding this section of the speech — reporting far more coherent sentences he may or may not have uttered.

And so:

If the White House were to post transcripts of Biden’s comments, would you trust them? Would the transcripts include all the “um”s and other lost trains of thoughts? Or would they just publish the beginning and the end of the sentence, and hope they somehow . . . c’mon, man! . . . matched?

I hope someone compares a video of a Joe speech with its official transcript, for laughs. I’m pretty sure the laughs would be there.

Thursday Night Open Thread: There Is Still Good In the World — It’s Just Usually in Other Species

Israeli Zoo Video Shows Elephants Protecting Calf in Rocket Attack
Times of Israel | 5-24-21

A video released by the Ramat Gan Safari shows how a herd of elephants formed a protective circle around a young calf during a rocket attack from the Gaza Strip last week.

In the clip, published Friday, sirens warning of incoming rockets can be heard in the background.

The elephants immediately cross their enclosure to stand around Pele, a 14-month-old calf.

In a similar way, elephants will also gather around a mother while giving birth “to be her eyes and protection,” he said.
