I used to get frustrated that my mother would accidentally call me by either of my brothers' names. Then I found myself doing so with my own cats and I forgave her.
Biden has always been a gaffe machine. And hell, even Obama tripped up a few times with things like '57 states'.
The issue, for me, is not the individual incidents, though. It's that people who interact with him, in particular, Congresscritters in his party, publicly speaking out that makes me uneasy about continuing with Biden on the ticket. There is a lack of confidence in his ability going forward; they're better placed to know, and have fewer (not none, but fewer) reasons to lie about it than simple gossipers.
This is honestly the stupidest media frenzy I've seen in a long time. They were talking about Putin. He went back to the mic and corrected himself: "He's fighting to beat Putin, President Zelenskyy!" and Zelenskyy rolled with it.
This is literally top news on all serious news sites. 🙄There's no mention of what Zelenskyy said afterward or anything else. It's even more idiotic than the "Dean Scream".
These news outlets are literally just click bait now, and they want anything to be a scandal no matter how small.
He mentioned it in the press conference when they asked him about it. Basically called them stupid, and asked if they had heard all the European NATO leaders complimenting him too.
So you're voting for the rapist cuz only one of them can get to 270...see how your logic completely falls apart when you realize you have no other choice.
No but it does make it ok to vote for Biden.
You people act like the administration would be drastically different of Kamala won instead of Biden...get a fucking clue ...it would be the same ppl behind the scenes.
I have real concerns about Biden's competency (though don't get me wrong; I'm voting for whomever the "not Trump" option is), but I have swapped names (or nouns in general) in sentences more times that I care to think about; my mind and mouth aren't always working at the same speed and it happens sometimes.
You're not applying for the arguably the most important job in the world. I think "better than Trump tho" is an extremely low bar and actually rather depressing.
Sheesh. You know none of this would be a big deal in isolation, but there is so much pressure on him right now to be perfect after the debate. I don't really care whether he stays or goes except insofar as it makes it easier or harder to take on Trump, but ordinary human mistakes have taken on a new importance and the more he makes the more the pressure will mount.
I care about this about as much as I care about my mother forgetting what day my birthday is (she always gets it a day off) and this has happened since she was in her 30's.. can we focus on things that matter please?
Sorry to hear that your mother doesn't respect her own child enough to make an effort to remember their birthday (calendars have existed for a good long while now). And I fail to see how that excuses a political caste disrespecting its voters by offering a geriatric buffoon and a senile grandpa as the only viable candidates in the election for the highest office in the land.
They're playing old speeches and they jumped from the 2008 Palin debate to yesterday's NATO speech...
Which I guess is better than running his old stuff right up to the live stuff. But it was just so fucking jarring. I don't know how people can say age isn't effecting him.
He's just staring down at a podium and reading a piece of paper.
