Today is apparently “International Women’s Day,” which essentially means nothing now, considering our social overlords say that gender is meaningless and offensive, and anyone can be a woman at any time. But President Biden commemorated the day by announcing two female Generals who have been nominated to be appointed to commander positions in two of the Defense Departments key organizations.
But this poor guy can barely stumble his way through a scripted speech, and this one was no different.
Watch as President Biden apparently forgets the name of his Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, calling him “the Sec., the, uh, former General, I keep calling him General, but my, uh, the guy who runs that outfit over there.”
And by “that outfit over there,” he of course meant the Pentagon and the United States Department of Defense, a name which he also apparently forgot.
After finishing his remarks, President Biden turns to one of the Generals behind him for a moment of awkward acknowledgement, then walks out.

But at least he didn’t post any mean tweets today, right?
