Didn’t he do a big rally in NC after the debate too?

That’s what he means by Friday. The president took the weekend away from cameras and did speeches on either side of that, someone launch a damn coup

He was unaccounted for on Sunday. Like, if he'd been having family time surely there'd be 6,000 articles with thinly sourced rumors about what they talked about

It’s also not true, there were cameras at his event the next day in NC.

The debate was on Thursday; the rally was on Friday (as was another appearance public appearance in NYC). This kind of tweet is the finest in misinfo: it makes it hard for people to remember these distinctions, so you think Biden hasn't spoken in public since the debate. He has--multiple times!

But he had a teleprompter! They’re not looking for him to speak eloquently they want to trip him up

Bloomberg today was pushing a story that Biden team was trying to get a virtual nomination fast to stop all speculation, but this has been known for weeks and it’s because Ohio threatened to keep him off the ballot. It’s wild.

This story is being pushed by a few current/former national media types even on this app, who seem to have been hit with the Men in Black neuralyzer when it comes to Trump's "executive time" habits while in office four years ago.

There’s no source on this! It’s just an axios gossip report! It’s how taken as gospel he’s 10-4. Which is horseshit

Apparently good enough for this dude. Some say the hallmark of good journalism is skepticism until facts are thoroughly vetted. But I say elite journalism is when you "smell a story" (decide it is true based mostly on vibes then pre-cog confirmatory pieces on twitter), and never waiver.

And yet, if the other guy sticks to what's on the teleprompter for a change, it's considered a the stuff of sagacious statesmanship. How'd this asshole get a job? Was he 10th caller with the phrase that pays?

I do not get this annoyance at teleprompters. I'm thirty-five and I'd rather have a teleprompter or some notes on hand to help me with prepared statements than rely on my good but still fallible memory and hope I didn't forget anything important.

It’s pure theatrics. Just not serious.
