Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War

After all the outrage about the joke, Biden knocks the story out of the park. 

 

He has destroyed Kamala's closing speech ( it was dire anyway ). Destroyed it and handed a gift to Trump. 

 

Deplorable 2024 😄

I am tellin ya, Joe doesnt want Kamala to win. If she loses, it will burnish Biden's reputation and he can always claim that he would have won IF given the chance. If she wins, his legacy will take a hit.

 

Not to mention that Jill Biden hates Kamala with the energy and brilliance of a thousand suns.

I agree with that. 

 

Dems are melting down. In one fell swoop he has wiped out the PR story and Kamala's closing speech. 

 

Incredible stuff.

Will they cover for her by saying he was too confused to understand what he was saying? Bit of a problem though, as it would imply he should not still be POTUS.

They are arguing that there was a spoken apostrophe missing. 

 

A spoken apostrophe. Seriously.

That can be filed with "he was tired after a long flight" and "he had a cold".

Wonder if it was on the teleprompter or he just made it up?

Well sounds like a plan. I thought this man was supposed to be senile ?

Trump and his campaign can distance themselves from a joke made by a comedian.

 

No way Harris and the Dems can distance themselves from Biden insulting half of Americans.  And not even as a joke.

Yeah.  Like HRC's deplorables moment.  That cost her the election.  Lost her just enough votes to tip the balance.

A nothing burger. Okay, answer this. 

 

Why was Biden giving a live statement when Harris was onstage giving her keynote closing speech? 

 

It was deliberate. 

 

Accept it and weep.

It all boils down to the interpretation of one word which  actually sounds the same with differing grammar. Biden has addressed the MAGA and trump's spin:

 

“Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage—which is the only word I can think of to describe it,” Biden posted on X later that evening. “His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That’s all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don’t reflect who we are as a nation.”

When CNN asked for an explanation on the president’s comments, a White House spokesperson insisted that Biden had meant “supporter’s” rather than “supporters,” arguing that he had actually said this: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s – his – his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.”

Without any doubt whatsoever MAGA world will keep worrying the bone, but the damage has been done by the speaker at trump's rally. trump and enablers have continuously shown their disrespect for minorities, accordingly this matter is "business as usual' no matter the attempted deflections. trump is unfit to represent the Office of the President of the USA

Again. Why was Biden giving live remarks during the Harris closing speech. 

 

You have no sane answer. Even CNN are stunned.

Go to his X feed, he's enraged. Just like all sane Democrats. Apparently they exist. Just not on this forum. 🤪

Possibly an issue of timing co-ordination. 

 

In a call organized by the Hispanic advocacy group Voto Latino, Biden responded to a comic at Trump’s rally who called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.” Biden’s initial comments were garbled.

Makes sense as the grammatical spelling has the same sound. A lesson to be learnt given the aggressiveness and hostility between the parties.

Grow up. There were 75000 people at the speech, on the doorstep of the White House. 

 

Biden knew.

[jippytum]

Joe and especially his missus have never accepted it would be better for the election chances if Harris replaced him. 

Harris poor show may endorse those feelings.

No proof it was coordinated or spoken as a generalised  attack on MAGA supporters  and makes zero logical sense to be so. Accordingly conspiracy garbage

[Jonnapat]

Yet more nonsense.

Hey buddy show her proper respect, it's Jill Biden EdD.  The fact that you can find a Doctorate of Education at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box is no excuse to ignore it.
