If this is this a gaffe, what is it when Trump strings together his incoherent, incomplete, and nonsensical ramblings?
It's really hard to say it's not a big deal when Biden does it, because when trump does it Biden gives him shit about it.
A gaffe is just slipping on words once but still knowing what you meant. If you look at Biden full quote, he made multiple mistakes and was just rambling.
They're both old and get confused which is 100% normal for their ages...
It's just illustrative of why people of that age shouldn't be in important and powerful positions in our government
Maybe people above retirement age should not be allowed to be in positions of power in general?
Seems like that could be abused. Some 80+ year olds are in much better shape than some 60+ year olds. Besides, the voters put them there, we're all to blame.
Did you have any other choices?
We are having presidential elections here in Finland right now. We had 9 candidates for the first round from 9 different political parties to choose from.
They aren't getting the votes to be viable in the general election, but there are primary candidates from both parties. I would love to see a ranked choice voting system or something that would promote a wider field.

Yeah, the US needs to get its act together and stop electing people so close to the life expectancy.
Is this because the founding fathers wore those white wigs or something? Lol
SC justices too.
Sotomeyer is a type 1 diabetic, and is literally at the life expectancy for a woman with type 1 diabetes...
People make the argument that she "has the best healthcare" but one of the most important things with that is managing stress, and she's repeatedly making public statements about how stressful it is .
She's 100% going to die in office before she resigns, she learned absolutely nothing from RBG.
We need to stop ignoring that chronological age is a real thing, and has real effects on a person's ability.
But since everyone in our top positions are so old they're personally losing their mental abilities, they'll never admit it.
And the boomers that are "next" sure as shit aren't going to make better decisions, and we can't afford to wait another 30 years for them to die off.
We need to fix shit now
Brilliant 4d chess. That's what! You just don't understand because you're too libtarded to get it.
Edit: I hate that I have to add this, but someone isn't going to get it, so here: /S

By all means, let's vote for the eloquent Trump instead. /S
At least Biden won't gaffe his way into outlawing BIPOC from existing or inspire domestic terrorism with his words.
They are both senile. But take it from someone who lived under Robert Mugabe, senile dictators seem to live frustratingly long lives - even in the face of terminal illnesses. If the choice has to be between two seniles, take the one that doesn't have dictator aspirations.
Biden is not senile. Anyone who has ever dealt with an actual senile person knows that he's a damned site far from senile. He has good mental faculties for a man his age. The issue with Biden isn't his mental fitness.

I mean, I mix up my kid and my dog's names all the time. And they aren't the same species.
That's why you name this half Marlin Jr, and that half Coral Jr
This isnt news.
The US president made the gaffe during a campaign speech in Las Vegas, as he recalled a meeting with G7 leaders in June 2021.
People make mistakes, especially people who have tons of responsibilities and a thousand different things going on. This is not news, this is muckraking.

sky is just more Murdoch garbage
Sky is owned by Murdoch, but the news service is actually very good. At least, it is in the UK.
