And lemmings and redditors will blame progressives for it.
I'm going to blame the people that have been trying to gaslight everyone into thinking that Biden was fine.
He was fine. He has never sounded like this before. Just look at the State of the Union for what people were expecting.
This was him being unprepared and trying to remember statistics from 3 and a half years of accomplishments, with a cold, while running a country, while being 81. It reminded me of some bad interviews I've been in, honestly.
Bullshit homie, he sounds like this all the time, it's just progressing faster. They made up a new term to cover it up a few weeks ago and then grampa ran off in his bathrobe and CNN had to call some silver alerts.
For all the people that talked about how horrible cnn has been to Biden, they were cutting him off to help him. Look back on his 'gaffes'. They've been bad for a long time.
I literally don't know what you're talking about with bathrobes and silver alerts. What are you smoking?
Never work or live near an old folk's home?
I live 4 blocks from an old folks' home and have no idea what you're talking about.
Fair enough. Bathrobe is the old trope of elderly people wandering around in, well, fuzzy slippers and a bathrobe.
A silver alert is an Amber Alert for old people.
I was referring to Biden with the first and CNN helping him when he got lost with the second.
I don't know what YOU are talking about with silver alerts. Or are you just bringing up irrelevant topics. Are you going to talk about burgers next?
Explained it to another dude in the same thread.
I'm sure I could find a hamburder joke with Trump on the stage.
it wouldn't be an issue if people didn't keep saying it
Which is just like ignoring/not testing for covid and calling it over
I don't blame people for wanting to distance from the topic. The problem with Biden isn't his ability to lead and govern. It's his image. Talking about it directly hurts his image. BUT it's still a discussion that needs to be had.
It would be like Covid if talking about Covid also made it worse.
