If you’ve spent any time in Washington, you’ve heard stories about Joe Biden’s loquaciousness. Asked to give brief remarks, he’d famously meander for 30, 40 or more minutes about whatever came into his mind.But his verbosity is a symptom of a larger lack of situational awareness. After all, this is the guy who once asked a man in a wheelchair to stand up and take a bow.My favorite example came just after the 9/11 attacks, when Biden met with his Senate committee staffers and went into a “stream-of-consciousness monologue” about how to respond. “I’m groping here,” he confessed after a while, and then had a eureka moment.

Will Jonah and his never trump cronies ever admit they were wrong?

His biggest problem is his agenda which runs neck and neck with his dementia. Nice try Jonah! Your biggest problem BTW is your TDS which blinds you to the truth.

"
Biden came into office with the narrowest majority in Congress, arguably in history: a 50-50 Senate with very small margin in the House. And yet, he let people convince him that the moment was ripe for a “transformative” agenda...
"
Um, he came into office to shepherd the downfall of the Unites States of America under the jackboot sandals of his benefactors, the chicoms. And he is doing just fine at it. Thanks to inarticulate numbnuts like jonah.
Anyway as a fatal flaw the inability to "read the room" hardly stacks up against his inability to speak coherently for 2 minutes or stay awake past 10am. Jonah could never write, but he ran outa ink years ago and now merely leaves scratches on the page.

We may disagree with Jonah’s move to Never Trumper, but he is still a good writer and the son of our very gracious hostess Miss Lucianne. A little courtesy on our part would be welcome.

Biggest problem? How about remembering to put his Depends on before going out!

He cannot read or write at all. He is able only to parrot what comes in to his earpiece.
Forget about politics. His short term and long term memory are gone. He is suffering from dementia.
And no one will do anything about it.
You have his name as Biden on it.
He is able to pass out ice cream. But do not ask him about it.
Do not ask him anything. His handlers will not allow questions.

Perhaps stop after, "He can't read." The words "a room" aren't necessary or accurate.

Characterizing proposing catastrophic ideas and grotesquely incompetent execution as an inability to read a room is an inability to read reality.
That said i agree that bi.den is unable to read a room.
I guess mass illegal immigration is his opportunity to get a room more to his liking.

He can't read Green Eggs and Ham unless somebody whispers the words into his earbud.

This piece represents the deluded commenting on the demented.
From the same Jonah that previously told us in 2016, it's not a civil war because there is no public violence.

Our biggest problem is that Joe can still read a teleprompter or 3x5 card. If he lost that ability, we might get a change.

Oh..... so that's his "biggest" problem.
He can't read a room.
Not his disasterous Afghanistan withdrawal.
Not his 1970's style inflation.
Not his killing 7 children just to look tough.
Not all his literal gropping of other people's children.
Nope.
He can't read a room.
Jonah, go sit in a corner.

No, that's not his problem.
And I don't click on Jonah any more.

No, he just has inferior intelligence and incredibly poor judgment. He is unfit for the job he had before, let alone the presidency of the United States.
Not reading the room is using a term that usually applies to saying something inappropriate for one’s present audience. It downplays, trivializes, the very serious deficiencies Biden has always had.

His approval ratings have been falling mainly because of the Afghanistan debacle and the crisis at the border. Sadly, most people don't pay much attention to what Congress does.

From his appearances at the podium, I'm wondering if he can read at all. Besides, if reading a room was his only problem, he wouldn't have created the dozen or so other problems of his making.

Lucianne's son is a decent guy. So he put his money on the wrong horse. He could at the very least apologize for being so horrifically wrong.

Jonah seems not to understand the meaning of 'reading a room.'
