Joe Biden’s latest gaffe plays right into Republicans’ hands

Raised "politically" surely doesn't mean raised as a kid, as you claim.

 

Biden started his political career at Wilmington, which hasn't a tiny Latino polpulation. He has also been invloved with Porto-rico during his career.

Quote: "And so I — I was sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community at home, politically.  And so, we — and we came here for a long time, both for business and pleasure, since you’re part of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals and Delaware is as well.  And I was chairman of the Judiciary Committee.  I spent a lot of time in the northern part of the state. 

 

A politician showing (and maybe overstating) his proximity with his audience, what a big deal! ????

What a horrid meandering word salad.  It is clear that when Joe goes off script, he goes waaaaaaay off script. I am sure all his Puerto Rican amigos used to call him "Jose"...

No, they call him "el gringo" ????

The headline is also a dead giveaway as to the bias of the article. The issue isn't Biden's gaffes, or the potential for trouble that they cause.  No, the issue is the Republican's REACTION.

Apart from the current FBI "investigation", what is the "world of trouble" he is in legally?

 

"...a hard core Trump supporter".

In your mind, is there something wrong with those who choose to support Trump?   

Absolutely.

He also the leader of the free world. That’s a serious accolade. Don’t you think so?

That's the outcome of a pathological liar with a compulsive or habitual tendency to lie; no one believe him to be telling the truth. 

 

Gaffes are easily forgotten. No big deal. 

I'm sure the GOP won't be letting anyone forget Biden's gaffes if he does decide to run again in '24.

Come on man.  Trump made gaffes constantly, many of which were much worse.  The injecting bleach, nice people on both sides, believing Putin over his own intel agencies, shthole countries, buying Greenland....and that's just off the top of my head.  Trump was far, far worse.

LOL, it's not a question of someone else being "worse", is it? It's a question if Biden is fit to be president ( which is more on topic than Trump )?

At election times it's always a question of choosing the least worse choice.

The top of your head needs some work. He never said anything about injecting bleach. The "nice people on both sides" is a lie trotted out by Biden during the 2020 campaign which has been repeatedly debunked.  Given the "performance" of US intel, I don't blame his lack of trust.  Some countries ARE indeed ...holes. And Greenland would be a lovely addition.

 

Biden, by contrast, can't even muster up the mental wattage to even HAVE a coherent thought. He is guarded and protected from the public by his handlers. Hell, he just claimed to have been raised by Puerto Ricans last week!  A remarkable feat considering that Puerto Ricans make up less than one half of one percent of the population of Delaware!

Trump on injecting disinfectants, and an example of his 'coherence':

 

"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that.”  https://www.politico.com/news/2021/04/23/trump-bleach-one-year-484399

 

Trump on the Charlottesville white nationalist protesters, and another example of his coherence:

 

"Reporter: "The neo-Nazis started this. They showed up in Charlottesville to protest --"

Trump: "Excuse me, excuse me. They didn’t put themselves -- and you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group. Excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.""  https://www.politifact.com/article/2019/apr/26/context-trumps-very-fine-people-both-sides-remarks/?aff_id=1262

 

Regarding US Intel; why don't you give me five examples of mistakes made by the US Intelligence Agencies in the past 20 years, and I'll give you five examples of mistakes made by Trump in his inauguration speech.   Even if Trump didn't trust his intelligence people, why would he trust Putin?

 

Trump called the countries that immigrants to the US come from as "<deleted>hole countries", thus insulting the backgrounds of every US immigrant.

 

Regarding Biden's ability to form a coherent thought, why don't you offer proof?  I've already given examples of Trump's incoherence.

He was referring to Haiti and other similar Countries and he wasn't referring to every immigrant to the USA

Hopefully this source is acceptable.  If the Republicans are going to criticize Biden's gaffes, I think it only fair that these gaffes be compared to the leader of the Republican Party, who goes way beyond gaffes into total incoherence.  So:

 

“It definitely doesn’t help that so often what Trump says is complete nonsense,” said Oliver. “We often read transcripts of Trump’s speeches, and it’s something that everyone should actually do once in a while. When you strip away his blindingly confident delivery and just read his words, it is staggering how incoherent he is.”  https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2017/nov/13/john-oliver-trump-an-iphone-would-be-a-more-coherent-president

 

John Oliver's claim is well supported by the source, as is his conclusion:

 

“An iPhone would be a more coherent president of the United States.”

However, as noted earlier, since the topic is about how the Republicans are reacting to Biden's gaffes, comparisons between the two party leaders communication abilities are legitimate.

This is literally a thread about biden gaffes. And all you can think of is Trump. I for one don't hate biden nor do I think many here do.

Nope.

It's only fair and balanced that Biden's gaffes be measured against  at this point his most likely opponent Mr. Trump.

Biden has been well known as a gaffe machine his entire political career but overall the man has proven to have good intentions to serve his country and promote democracy.

Compared to Trump the insurrectionist lover of Putin who has a record of toxic unhinged non sensensical racist and toxic statements.

It is fair to question the fitness of both of them to serve though.

It's clear majorities would rather that the nominees be different people.

Actually, I think Biden should be measured against himself. As you say, he has always had "gaffes" and been a bit of a BS artist, as are all politicians. However, what is happening lately has gone beyond simple "oopsies" and become actual signs of  serious mental decline.  Biden also has more than his fair share of racially inappropriate comments, from telling black people that the GOP wants to "put y'all back in chains" to "you ain't black" if they don't vote Democrat. 

 

We do agree that two new candidates would be infinitely preferable to a rerun of When Grandpas Fight 2020 Edition.

Pot calling...Biden fans invariably react to Biden gaffe topics with immediate hateful attacks on Trump and that's because they can't defend hero Joe.

I provide Trump's complete answer to one question and a link to the entire interview transcript for those who cared to read it.  My reply was factual.  It is also a fact that I'm not allowed to post the entire transcript of the interview.

 

Trump said many contradictory things, as usual.  That allows him to disavow the consequences of his words.  You know, saying stuff like "fight like hell" but also "peacefully" in an otherwise inflammatory speech.
