Biden Aides Change his phone number, Scold Reporter for Calling him and asking questions...

Again, when this happened he was the President. Geebus... Read the article. lol

There's a reason this is in General Politics rather than Current Events... This isn't a current event, it happened during the 2024 campaign after he had dropped out of the race.

Why would they be calling him about Harris's defeat? Since he wasn't the candidate, what's the big deal?

LOL. Ask them. My best guess would be they wanted his take on whether he would have won if he hadn't have bowed out.

Can you explain why anyone -- journalist or not -- feels they should be able to call a former POTUS whenever they want? Or is your unhappiness that it's Biden? Did you feel the same way about calling former POTUSes (POTII?) Obama and Bush and Clinton?

He was not "former". You start off with the same nonsense as the other... Stop assuming and read the story.

Okay, can you explain why journalists should be able to call the current POTUS any time they want? Wouldn't that tend to keep him/her tied up and away from his/her official duties? Isn't that what the press secretary is for? Now if they kept changing *that* number, I could see the problem. BTW, the title of the article mentions "election loss." (Joe Biden aides changed his phone number and scolded reporter for calling him about election loss, new book claims). Was there also an incestuous shower scene in this book? lol

Again, when did I claim they should? You make a ton of assumption, including whether or not he was President, you don't bother reading the story then pretend I've expressed some odd opinion that I haven't expressed so you can argue a strawman. I realize it is easy to get angry and argue an opinion that nobody has expressed but your imagination, and that is likely why you do this...

Do better. Read the article, give an opinion based on what was said in the article rather than a rant about what you think I thought. Maybe ask me what I think of something rather than demand I explain the actions of someone else.

Which is hardly something most of us care about. I sense that you would want to hear the answer, in order to rub it in.

He's still working really hard....! But what's the point if you're not taking phone calls? There's a phone right there...

You should have a conversation with Phantasmal.

I would but she’s incapable of being civil with me.

She thinks that he's "President Superbrain™ " and cannot possibly be considered dementia addled at all. Even to the point where clear evidence is all explained away by Superbrain's™ aides with total disregard of any evidence otherwise. While I think pResident BraIndead™ was clearly addled, though we agree on the "super", however I think it is more in the villain arena than that of the hero.

You put words in my mouth that I never claimed. That’s very dishonest of you.

No he didn’t…

Sorry, I don’t agree with Biden having dementia.

Biden could still talk policy, attended meeting and actually made decisions.

Too funny ^. Did you ever get around to reading Original Sin?
