Power move



Joe Biden bizarrely stands up and wanders out of studio during live TV broadcast in latest gaffe

Joe Biden was involved in a bizarre moment after he stood up and wandered out of a studio during a live TV broadcast.

The US President walked off set while cameras were still filming after appearing on MSNBC for an interview with Nicolle Wallace.

Biden’s White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates labelled the moment a “power move”.

It's a guess, but the phrase 'power move' was probably coined already for this kind of eventuality. The interesting question is - which phrase will they come up with next time he falls over? Can't be anything like 'power move'. 

Dreaming up the excuses is not a job I'd care to tackle. I'd power move out of there without looking back.

"which phrase will they come up with next time he falls over? Can't be anything like 'power move'...."

Humility demonstration? Goofing around? Disability solidarity display?

Another Yank term for lying is 'Mis-spoke', which is a style of rhetiric developed by the 'Democratic' party!

There must be hot competition to be camera person or sound person on Joe's appearances.
I bet that the technicians have a huge file of Bidenisms that they share on their piss up nights. I also bet that Putin has copies of them all and plays them to his senior officers when the morale needs boosting.
This is the heid bummer of the Lead Nation of the Free World. The man who holds all our lives in his hands.

Now, now, gentlemen. It's just that Geriatric Joe processes information rather slowly. Many months ago people shouted "Let's go, Brandon" and now the advice has penetrated his intellect, and off he went.

Sam - "Disability solidarity display" would be my guess, probably explained as "only a DSD guys, nothing to see here."

Scrobs - maybe they need a spokesperson called Miss Spoke. Or something similar.

Doonhamer - I'm sure you are right. There will be online video compilations for decades now.

dearieme - ha ha, that must be it. What an end to a dodgy career.

Falling down would be an 'lack of power move'

Well, he could always do as I do, when he drops things or falls over! You see I have the theory that gravity is getting much stronger and unless action is taken, it will become a 'gravity emergency' and destroy the planet. You can see its effects on people like me and Jo with the increased tendency of people and things to fall downwards.

Woodsy - and we know he'll do it again.

Tammly - a 'gravity emergency' sounds very plausible. It explains those huge potholes in the road because rain is becoming heavier. Umbrellas will have to be stronger too.
