Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

I wish they'd stop calling these gaffes...
A Gaffe is when you mix something up or make a mistake and immediately realize it and feel embarrassed.
trump and Biden are just rambling and saying factually incorrect things, then later an aide has to explain it to them, and issue a correction.
If no one corrected them, they wouldn't know they fucked up.
Theyre both so old that they literally need aides around them 24/7 to make sure this shit isn't happening.
Why?
Why are these the only two choices Americans have?
It was bad enough 4 years ago, but now we have to repeat it again, and pray next year it's not another 80 year who's turn is up.
It's like we have the same requirements for President today as in Hitchhikers Guide:
The most important thing for a president is to stand around and say crazy things to distract from the people with real power doing terrible shit.
There is a minimum age on presidency, and there should be a maximum age.
And I think it should be the life expectancy of the country minus 4 years.
73 and want a second term? You'd better be damn good at raising the life expectancy, and fast!
It's not just the presidency, it's American law in general.
If you're 39 years old, your employer can flat out say you're too young for a position so they won't hire you for the promotion/position solely because of your age.
If you're over 40, then they legally can't say you're too old for anything. But they can still just say you "don't have enough experience"
Our laws about "age related discrimination" only legalized age related discrimination for anyone not elderly. For them we have to pretend science isn't real and a 80 year old is just as capable as a 30 year old.
Which makes old people feel good about themselves, but obviously isn't true.
It's just elderly people make our laws, and they think anyone under retirement age is too inexperienced to do anything. So they had no issues making age related discrimination against literally half of Americans 100% legal

I don't think they care if they fuck up...
They don't. I'm sure they have handlers just like Dianne Feinstein did and Mitch McConnell does now. They're getting Weekend at Bernies'd.
