Joe Biden enjoyed himself in Ireland. Maybe a little too much, as he basically got to play VIP tourist, give a speech, and have Hunter tell him what to do. So it’s little wonder why he would like to stay.

I think a lot of us would agree that he should stay. I think we’re all tired of the “Blewitt” presidency. We’re tired of watching him mix up rugby teams with old police pejoratives, tired of watching him be with young children and wonder which kid is going to get sniffed first…

… and we’re tired of reading transcripts that show just how much Hunter is having to handle the old man.

CHILD: How is your dog doing?”

THE PRESIDENT: My dog is doing well. (Laughter.) His name is Commander.”

CHILD: Yeah?”

THE PRESIDENT: What’s your doggie’s name?”

CHILD: Louie.”

PARTICIPANT: Louie.”

THE PRESIDENT: Louie! All right.”

THE PRESIDENT: Anyway, guys —”

MR. HUNTER BIDEN: You’re supposed to do the rope line, Dad.”

THE PRESIDENT: I’m supposed to do the rope line?”

MR. HUNTER BIDEN: Just to say hi to everybody. (Inaudible.)”

THE PRESIDENT: All right. Well, guys, thank you.”

The leader of the free world, everyone, being moved around like a puppet because he doesn’t know what he’s supposed to be doing. Biden doesn’t even remember how old he is anymore, since he claimed that he was 32 years old when the Americans with Disabilities Act was being debated and passed.

And that’s being generous and assuming the youngest possible age. It was introduced in 1988 but didn’t gain steam until 1989 and get final passage until 1990. https://t.co/eRCjMYdcKp

But Ireland is great, and he wants to stay!

I say Ireland can keep him, but I don’t think they want him. Not after the speech he gave to the Irish parliament.

A proud Irish Catholic who frequently quotes Irish poets in his speeches and cites his heritage as a defining element of his life, Biden on Thursday called his speech to the nation’s parliament “one of the great honors of my career.”

“You knew I’d be coming,” Biden told Irish lawmakers at the outset. “I only wish I could stay longer.”

The 35-minute address was by turns optimistic and sentimental, peppered with asides about his Irish relatives as well as other Irish Americans he’d met. The Irish people are the “backbone of America’s progress,” Biden said.”

And in the latest example of how Hunter is not the favorite son, old Joe invoked the late Beau in his speech. Again.

At one point, growing suddenly quiet, he mentioned his late son Beau, who he said was “the one who should be standing here giving this speech to you.”

But it’s how Biden wrapped up his speech that really left everyone scratching their heads.

Yes, the president of the United States apparently thinks the world is made out of ice cream, or it needs to be beaten into submission. You make the call.

Remember, this was a state visit to Ireland, where Biden is being escorted about and deferred to as a Head of State. Did anything about Biden’s behavior – the verbal gaffes, the not-subtle handling by Hunter, saying “lick the world” – make Democrats confident that this guy is completely capable of being president for four more years? And yet, they have no other options. Kamala Harris has a worse approval rating than Biden. Pete Buttigieg’s career has imploded like a train in Ohio. Gavin Newsom is being coy and campaigning against Ron DeSantis in Florida – even though neither of them are formally running for president at this moment. And even Newsom isn’t going to challenge Biden directly. So where does that leave the Democrats? With the old man who wants to lick them. Ewwwww.
