. . . Was he reading from a teleprompter? Is he still able to read?. . .
I'm pretty sure there was a teleprompter, and he was clearly struggling to read from it. As recently as last year he appeared to be doing OK in that regard, so there seems to be accelerating deterioration of his mental faculties.
I noticed Biden mentioned that over 3 million people were denied approval to buy a gun by the existing background check system - but of course he made no mention of the fact that virtually NO people who were CORRECTLY denied approval (
e.g., convicted felons, illegal aliens, etc.) were prosecuted for illegally attempting to purchase a firearm.
He also made no mention of penalties for people who lie on the Federal gun purchase form. (
Whew - Hunter is relieved.)
