I want to punch the Twitter sycophants who will inevitably say something like "he simply meant he was proud to nominate the first black woman Supreme Court justice and serve as VP to the first black president."

The ability to communicate with absolute clarity and avoid being taken out of context by a sensationalism-hungry media is a mandatory skill for a politician, and to expect any benefit of the doubt for any elected official is amateur hour and means you have already lost your fight.

The thing is this keeps happening. Like you get one pass, maybe, for fucking up a sentence.

He used up all his passes in 2020 haha

Remember in 2016 when we all laughed at trump supporters saying stuff like "you just have to listen to the words in his heart"

The same losers were clamoring to dunk on Trump for typing coffee wrong…

Biden’s brain is leaking out of his nose, so it’s okay to speak for him I guess. I swear Biden could use a slur on national television and the revisionist libs would pretend it was endearing.

This one isn't that bad and it's being spun poorly. He has sundowned much much worse. I would rather make fun of the video of Trump walking off stage while Biden is led off stage by his wife.

You are correct about the ability to not be taken out of context by a sensationalist hungry media. This Biden does not have anymore, or did he ever? He just has remained more silent and out of the limelight previously.

I recently watched this clip and he was so much more cogent and resolute in what he was trying to express in the past. Imagine all the ways this speech about sexual assault could have gone horribly wrong if Biden were as infirm here as he is today: https://m.facebook.com/story.php/?story_fbid=1116645375953075&id=815094451919066

It's comparisons like this that really highlight how much his mental faculties have deteriorated over these 7 years. And they expect to be able to get another 4 out of him?!

This is basically how I talk on a three day bender with no sleep, which is to say if that's where his mental acuity is we're in serious trouble lmao
