"I've been to 20 events since the debate. What's trump doing? Riding around in his golf cart. Filling out a scorecard before he hits the ball."
ALSO: wit is a good sign of stable, sharp minds. It was a good comment for him to make.
Honestly that line was probably written by a speech writer beforehand, but it shows he can remember it and deliver it with good timing. It was pretty good.
He's run that line multiple times since the debate and had a variation on it in the debate.
Vice president Trump. Lol
Like three times, and then said he'd beat Trump a second later...
I don't think he realized.
He didn't.
And that will be used against him too. Not only did he make the gaffe, he didn't even realize he made the gaffe.
(And for the record, it's sad that voters are holding Biden to a much higher standard than Trump. But here we are.)
I really want to see Biden as the last man standing... let the conference run 3 hours.
"C'mon, man! Ask me your questions! Ohhhh are you all getting 'too tired'? Do you need to go home for naps?"
Why do they have to make everything a battle royale these days?
Next thing you know it'll be open world too.
Goddamn fetch quests have already been added.
"To get your bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom, you first must travel 300 miles..."
This is the guy that stands between whatever this status quo is and the Trump brand of fascists. We're cooked.
I don't think he's really doing anything to appease critics. He's not doing bad, he's just not doing well either. I'm sure the "Vice President Trump" bit will make its way around pretty quick.
As someone who is in the camp of calling for Biden to step down, if he would've just done this during the debate, we wouldn't have ever had a problem. Sure, he stumbled and mixed names up... Whatever. George W Bush did far worse, let alone Trump. But that debate performance? That looked closer to outright dementia, I'm sorry. And now in the back of everyone's minds is when is the inevitable next time he does this? For he certainly isn't getting any younger, and that sure as shit wasn't a cold. Meanwhile the apathetic battleground swing-voters who will decide this election and hate both candidates just got the confirmation they needed to say, "both sides / they're all the same."
Throwing out some options:
If he says "jack" you gotta take a shot of whiskey.
If he says "bud" or "bub" you gotta do a hot knife or bong rip.
If he says "malarkey", you need to crack a beer and start drinking; you can't stop till he says "listen here".
If he pauses for longer than 5 seconds, you have to hold your breath; you can't breath again until he finishes a complete sentence.
If he yells at a reporter, throw your shoe at the screen.
If he has to get pulled off stage, throw your screen (device, whatever), out of the nearest window.
If he complains or whines, pour a glass of wine and start drinking. Don't stop until he says "C'mon".
Deal. Boarding in about an hour. This flight sure is going to be interesting.
He did alright. Alright isn't enough. He needed a homerun to unfuck this, and he hit a single. I think from here on out, Biden is a detriment to the party ticket. If he stays in, our fight becomes much harder.
Jesus, Joe. That last statement you gave the Republicans the sound bite for the ages:
"Listen to him."
Fucking dumbass. Dumb dumb dumb dumb.
...did he just confuse Kamela for Trump?
Together with VP Trump we'll defeat former republican president Kamala!
Well, that started very bad, got a bit better in the middle, and then fell apart at the end. What I'm worried about is that he did just well enough to convince himself not to drop out. I doubt anyone feels much better after that though.
This is like, actually the worst answer he's given in the conference. Like, dude, you are polling in the 30s. Don't bring up the polling if you are trying to make your case. Whatever you do pretend the polling doesn't exist.
Biden: No ones saying that.
Bruh. Everyones saying that. Fuck he fumbled ENTIRELY on the final question. That went from minor win/ good to.. fucking disaster in that last minute.
The problem is what is the criteria of success? Not even a good cogent group of answers will be enough for some people.
the guy could win 10 rounds of Jeopardy!, and people would still call him "cognitively impaired." It's absurd.
So there's a premade list of who gets to ask a question?
Also. Joe's all jacked up on mountain dew and just fucking said trump is his vice president....
Yeah, otherwise you'd have a room full of reporters yelling "Mr. President! Mr. President!"
If only his speech were one-tenth as good as his deeds.
His inability to communicate obscures his accomplishments.
Well that was fun. Every body stand up and stay standing for at least 5 minutes.
Walk around the house, go to the yard, whatever; get your heart pumping blood.
It will be time to return to our regular doom posting shortly, but in the mean time, look out for yourselves kings and queens: Its your health that matters.
I dunno why people are so die hard for Biden to stay in the race. Most of those people will vote for whoever runs against Trump. I don't care who they put up, I am voting for them, but if we put up someone who is clear, coherent and younger, I suspect it will attract a better turn out.
The #1 thing I was looking for is Biden's face when someone is talking to him.
During the debate and the interview with Stephanopoulos, he had this vacant, slack jawed look like he didn't know where he was or what was going on.
So far, he has completely avoided that. He looks active and engaged.
Not a great sign that this praise sounds like the doctor's notes from my toddler's last check-up.
It's just so fucking surreal that people keep trying to say this is ok...
Didn’t know I came for the sign language interpreter’s facial expressions!
Is anyone on the apnews link without adblock?
I'm trying to give them revenue, but...
I use adguard for whole house filtering, and while out of town last week, I forgot how much it did. Treat it like your furnace filter, keep it updated, etc.
