Joe Biden was caught using another cheatsheet to answer questions from reporters yesterday and this was titled “Tough Putin Q&A Talking Points”.
He used it yesterday when claiming he wasn’t calling for regime change when he said Putin couldn’t remain in power:

Here’s more from the New York Post:
President Joe Biden once again referred to a printed cheat sheet sheet as he doubled down on his unscripted weekend claim that Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power.”
On Monday Biden, 79, told reporters he made “no apologies” for his remarks — made off the cuff and not part of his prepared speech in a nationally televised address from Poland Saturday — and did not view it as a provocation to Russia.
“It’s more an aspiration than anything. He shouldn’t be in power. There’s no — I mean, people like this shouldn’t be ruling countries, but they do. The fact is they do, but it doesn’t mean I can’t express my outrage about it.”
His comments closely aligned with notes printed on a small piece of paper that he was photographed holding in his left hand as he spoke that began as follows:
- If you weren’t advocating for regime change, what did you mean? Can you clarify?
- I was expressing the moral outrage I felt towards the actions of this man
- I was not articulating a change in policy
- “I was talking to the Russian people. The last part of the speech was talking to the Russian people, telling them what we thought,” Biden told reporters.
This isn’t the first time that Biden has been caught using notes to help him answer reporter’s questions and it probably won’t be the last.
But hey, everything is fine with Biden right?
