It's bad no doubt. But, it was crickets on here when Trump's notes were way worse.
But, oh we all hate Trump blah blah.
And before this gets taken out of context. I said, this is a bad look for Biden. I am being consistent as both the look for Biden and Trump on notes are horrible.
This might be your best "but trump" take since Biden's disastrous presidency began.

This is true for staged events. But few are so dense they hold them right up to the camera. Trust me there were many palms hitting faces in the back rooms.
I trust you.

You must have no clue if you didn’t find it. It was everywhere
If you’re not combing through twitter, breitbart, drudge, cnn, HuffPost, etc, you don’t get inundated with non stories like this. If you want to get pissed about the opposing political party as a pastime, you are seeking it out.

Non story? Are you serious? The fucking president has a cue card on when to sit down. This should scare the shit out of you. The POTUS is not in control of anything.
As for being informed, in todays day and age, anyone and everyone should look at all the media sights to make sure they are being informed of all angles of any story.
Then you’re going to have a problem with many political leaders, business leaders, etc. They get this kind of guidance regularly because they do so much of this stuff, it all runs together. This “story” did not stumble upon anything unique to Biden.
I don’t like Biden because I think he’s a career politician who will ultimately do or say whatever he needs to in order to maintain his standing. This cue card business is for the birds.
As for “staying informed”…you could spend all 24 hours of everyday combing through websites with this being your goal. When that period is up, you’ve still done nothing more than obtain a sliver of all possible information and perspectives on national affairs. A guy who listens to a podcast for an hour on the dangers of melenoma may be marginally more knowledgeable than someone who spent 5 minutes reading the melenoma summary on Wikipedia, but neither are “informed” on the topic to postulate anything meaningful to society’s advancing knowledge of melenoma. Same thing goes here. You think there are better “informed” citizens today than 100 years ago because there’s exponentially more sources of entertainment? I think no. Reading all that crap does one thing: it makes you pissed off about arguments others have made (arguments you did not make, but only mimic), and about topics you have zero influence over. It’s escapism. We all do it, but it’s not good for any of us.

You haven’t, I haven’t, none of us have ever seen a potus holding a note card that tells him to sit.
I haven’t worked for any POTUS (yet), so I can’t say for certain, but there are people who’s job it is to direct presidents and other big wigs through shot like this. I have seen it with 2 CEOs I’ve worked many levels under. It’s not unusual.
There are plenty of reasons to not like Biden without falling for this kind of nonsense.

I mean, it wasn't that long ago that I saw a president struggle mightily to walk down a ramp and also nearly botch lifting a glass of water, but I don't recall you clutching at pearls then.
No. They put him on a flag dressed as Rambo after that.
