This week in Joe Bidenland:
☑️Said El Paso shooting was in Houston
☑️Said Dayton shooting was in Michigan
☑️Called Theresa May "Margaret Thatcher" (2nd time)
☑️Said "We choose truth over facts"
☑️Said "Poor kids are just as bright & just as talented as white kids"
☑️Front-runner

How do we get that message across without it seeming excessively nasty or alternatively, generating sympathy. ****, it's like trying to take your elderly parent's car keys away — before there's an accident.

One of the candidates at the bottom of polling will likely bring it up in an interview. Joe’s already lost that big gap between him and Bernie.

Certainly, Kamala Harris’ campaign isn’t above attacking Joe—she might try to do it about the Freudian slip about poor/black kids.

Wonder who the establishment will back then.

Trump already hit him on it, said 'he's not playing with a full deck'.

Well Trump would know? After all he has turned a billion dollar inheritance into 100 million or less in less than 40 years. All you Trumpies might want to check out our chief crook rather than crap on Biden. And lash should do a real check on her "democratic?" hero. She is pushing him because she is sure he can't beat trump. Our resident republican plant just keeps her crap up.

As far as I'm concerned, they don't even need to be at the tail end of polling (looking at DeBlasio and Gillibrand in particular). I just want someone to bring it ("poor kids are just as talented as white kids") up. Biden and his people can claim it was a slip of the tongue, however, my first reaction was, 'I see Biden just found his group of deplorables'. It also had a tone of racism. Intentional or not, his comments concerning the children and their potential has me still feeling nauseous.

Additionally, Biden's comment also told millions of lower income white kids that they aren't as good as the hoity -toity, snot-nosed ivory tower dwellers with the butlers, maids, chauffeurs and other servants.

I myself at time felt less-than as a low income white kid. Biden would have shamed me even more!

Coming from Trump, it t means nothing. If Sanders or Warren or Harris or Buttigieg was to say this, it would gain power.

Trump’s right, and even with his fifth grade vocabulary and impossibly immature personality, he’ll be picking Biden out of his teeth if they debate. Biden’s not competent to debate or preside. The Democrats will lose.

Wow. I actually think you nailed that. I can definitely see Gillibrand, deBlasio—Booker approaching this issue. Castro stepped away from it, saying it was just an error.

It was definitely a Freudian slip—he equates poor with black—and the rest of his comment, even as he tried to do damage control, was so paternalistic. It was another embarrassing moment a la Joe.

It takes some real twisting and turning to get your interpretation out of what Biden said.

It doesn't take much twist/turn for me. My formative years we're filled with shaming from various folk, some were adults,including a second grade teacher.

Do you mean the truth sometimes hurts? Some people consider truth to be shaming.

"Gaffe" is a nonsense term invented by reporters and pundits that no normal person ever uses. If you continue to characterize Biden's repeated cognitive malfunctions as "gaffes," you are failing to accurately depict what is going on with him

The thing about Biden, though, is that he's been like this as long as I can remember. Do we know for sure that it's actually getting worse? Not trying to defend him but if it's just the same old-same old the observations lose some of their urgency.

How many presidential primaries did he manage to lose already, with this same-old same-old? Two, right? Another one is in the coming.

The one thing I've noticed about Joe Joe over the years is that he wants to be friends with everybody. It leads to him having tons of unfortunate one-liners and missteps.

It’s worse. Previously, he made gaffes and lied. He’s still doing that, but now, he’s slipping on factual information like referring to either May or Merkel as Thatcher...on two separate occasions. I think his equating poor to black was a Freudian gaffe, so par on the expectation.

The slips, gaffes, lies are coming a lot more often—two and three a day—and as with most older people, many of them reveal antiquated thinking, like racism.

Biden was well-known to be gaffe prone twenty years ago when he headed the Judiciary committee.
In my view the principal change over time here is the recent emergence, within the Democrat Party, of a zealous, young, inexperienced, and generally poorly informed cadre of socialists, who appear to speak a new language, and are exceedingly intolerant of anyone who doesn't conform to their fixed (and flawed) ideas.

I like Biden. But not for president. He is plain spoken. He docent speak politic speak like most of the politicians. I think its called honesty, something people arnt use to from politicians. Especially in the Trump era.

Biden seems like a decent guy, but he's a long-time politician and he's used his power to benefit himself and his kids. The Democrats won't allow him to be a moderate and he is so over his head. It would be sad if he wasn't a power-mad tool.
