That's even longer than the famous "akward pause."
No, he obviously lost it.--Little sleep or #dementia, I'd say.
Joe Biden could still turn this around and not lose to Trump by defunding Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. If he doesn’t, there will be only person to blame for Joe Biden losing to Trump in six months and that’s Joe “I am a Zionist” Biden.

“Alito doesn’t deny the flag was flying upside down, doesn’t deny its meaning, doesn’t express any disapproval for it and doesn’t disavow it.”
This wasn’t a random period of time. It was AFTER January 6 and BEFORE the inauguration.
ITS A SYMBOL OF INSURRECTION.
A Justice has never made a more persuasive case for the Legislature to kick them out on their ass for bad behavior than has Alito.

He can’t even be bothered to disavow the meaning behind the upside-down flag that was flown on his lawn in support of Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election.Bess Levin (Vanity Fair)

Justice Alito
“You can hardly blame the folks who saw the flag flying at the #Alito’s home and decided it had to be brought to the Court’s attention. Surprisingly, it’s taken this long to become public. The Times reported that the half-dozen or so neighbors who were aware of it asked to remain anonymous because they “feared reprisal.” Let that sink in as we contemplate what a second #Trump term in office might look like.” #SCOTUS #USPol

Analysis
"Israel’s Willing Executioners"
"Hundreds of thousands of people are being forced to flee, once again, after more than half of Gaza's population took sanctuary in the border town of Rafah. This is part of Israel's sadistic playbook.
"Run, the Israelis demand, run for your lives. Run from Rafah the way you ran from Gaza City..from Jabalia..from Deir al-Balah..from Beit Hanoun..Bani Suheila..Khan Yunis. Run or we will kill you."
“They almost annihilated us, and that genocide continues. To destroy the environment you have to destroy the people who protect it.”

"The database would refer users to so-called "crisis pregnancy centers"; fake clinics that do not actually provide women with healthcare, but rather use deception and coercion to scare women away from getting an abortion, even if it necessary for their own health.
The bill specifically forbids any entity that "performs, induces, refers for, or counsels in favor of abortions" from being listed in the database. This would eliminate almost every actual healthcare facility from being listed in the federal database, or pressure doctors away from making necessary healthcare referrals for fear of having their facility removed."

Yes, and it is normal to indict and punish a former public official, even if (s)he has been Consul or president. This is how it has been since the times of the Roman Republic. France, for instance, has had no qualms doing so.
