    What point are you trying to prove exactly? Biden *HAS NOT* fired Trumps FBI chief. Trump *hand installed* Wray as the head of the FBI. If there is credibility in this "letter" then its the job of the FBI to investigate it? Who's stopping the investigation? You do know that Wray is a REPUBLICAN right? The REPUBLICANS are talking about defunding the FBI not democrats? You keep talking about "unchecked power" on the executive but what's stopping the Trump FBI from doing their job? They should 100% investigate any allegations and crime. Who's denying that?

    Biden has allowed a Republican FBI chief hand picked by Trump to remain in his job and some of you folks keep talking about morality. President Tucker would never allow a democratic FBI chief to stay in power while he was POTUS but here we are. Allowing a republican fbi chief to stay in power isnt enough but the DOJ needs to help spin GOP conspiracies now.

    when you've lost the hometown Washington Post . . . .

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/05/08/president-biden-press-conferences-2023/

    Opinion: Biden no longer does press conferences. That’s not acceptable.
    By the Editorial Board
    May 8, 2023 at 4:16 p.m. EDT

    President Biden hasn’t dropped the microphone; he appears to have lost it. Mr. Biden is turning into a news media evader, and it’s harmful to his presidency and the nation. In the past 100 years, only Presidents Richard M. Nixon and Ronald Reagan averaged fewer news conferencesthan Mr. Biden. (A news conference involves the president taking questions from multiple reporters; a one-on-one interview with a handpicked journalist doesn’t count.)

    So far in 2023, Mr. Biden has done zero solo news conferences. He did conduct two “joint news conferences” in which the president and a visiting foreign leader faced the media together. It should not take a visit from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol for the American public to hear the president answering urgent questions from a free press. Presidents also typically interact informally with the media, answering a few questions on the way to an event. Mr. Biden doesn’t do many of those exchanges either, according to the American Presidency Project tracker.

    Mr. Biden even joked at the recent White House correspondents’ dinner about how infrequently he takes questions from reporters: “In a lot of ways, this dinner sums up my first two years in office. I’ll talk for 10 minutes, take zero questions and cheerfully walk away.” The president and his team promised transparency. Instead, he is stonewalling the media.

    It happened again on Monday. Mr. Biden appeared alongside Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to brief reporters on new effortsto force airlines to compensate passengers when a flight is canceled. As soon as his remarks ended, Mr. Biden turned and walked off, ignoring questions from reporters. This comes after the president claimed Friday that he was doing a “major press conference” that evening. In reality, he was doing an MSNBC interview.

    Taking questions from the media promotes public accountability. It also shows that the president is willing to defend his positions and instills confidence that he can do the job. It is widely known that Mr. Biden is gaffe-prone and that news conferences are not his forte. But as he runs for a second term, he should be eager to show he can handle all aspects of the job.

    Pick up the microphone, Mr. President. The media is not your enemy.

    I don't really care about either's speeches and perambulations. Outside of mocking Trump, because he's way funnier than Biden. Literal high ****ing comedy.

    Can they sit at a desk and govern?

    One can, one can't.

    Ronny already suffered from Alzheimers to point where Nancy effectively ran shop.

    I don't know how sharp Biden is compared to 8 years ago, but he can def take a good fall or five for an 80 yr old.

    I would rather have 98 year old Jimmy Carter on hospice running the country than an insurrectionist like Trump or an extreme fascist like DeSantis.
