Joe Biden calls Zelensky "Putin" right before huge press conference
Joe Biden's gaffe comes as Democrats abandon his campaign.
Shit, sometimes I call my kid the dog’s name and vice versa, and I’m half biden’s age
58I used to get frustrated that my mother would accidentally call me by either of my brothers' names. Then I found myself doing so with my own cats and I forgave her.
9You're also not applying for arguably the most important job in the world.
-6Yes, but are you running for president?
-20Biden has always been a gaffe machine. And hell, even Obama tripped up a few times with things like '57 states'.
The issue, for me, is not the individual incidents, though. It's that people who interact with him, in particular, Congresscritters in his party, publicly speaking out that makes me uneasy about continuing with Biden on the ticket. There is a lack of confidence in his ability going forward; they're better placed to know, and have fewer (not none, but fewer) reasons to lie about it than simple gossipers.
22Yes, but are
you running forthe president?ftfy

This is honestly the stupidest media frenzy I've seen in a long time. They were talking about Putin. He went back to the mic and corrected himself: "He's fighting to beat Putin, President Zelenskyy!" and Zelenskyy rolled with it.
This is literally top news on all serious news sites. 🙄There's no mention of what Zelenskyy said afterward or anything else. It's even more idiotic than the "Dean Scream".
These news outlets are literally just click bait now, and they want anything to be a scandal no matter how small.
46Biden's been making gaffs like this for almost 50 years. Its what he was most famous for before becoming VP.
39And the democrats can't produce a candidate that's not gaff prone? What a sorry state of affairs.

Trump said there were airplanes in the civil war.
25And the GOP is low-key planning another one right now, openly discussing it… yet, this is all the media can talk about.
10Trump being a raving lunatic doesn't make it OK to not find a candidate that doesn't belong in a care home.
3No but it does make it ok to vote for Biden. You people act like the administration would be drastically different of Kamala won instead of Biden...get a fucking clue ...it would be the same ppl behind the scenes.

Call me when Biden threatens to withhold military aid unless Zelensky makes up shit about Biden's political enemies.
22I have real concerns about Biden's competency (though don't get me wrong; I'm voting for whomever the "not Trump" option is), but I have swapped names (or nouns in general) in sentences more times that I care to think about; my mind and mouth aren't always working at the same speed and it happens sometimes.
17You're not applying for the arguably the most important job in the world. I think "better than Trump tho" is an extremely low bar and actually rather depressing.

Sheesh. You know none of this would be a big deal in isolation, but there is so much pressure on him right now to be perfect after the debate. I don't really care whether he stays or goes except insofar as it makes it easier or harder to take on Trump, but ordinary human mistakes have taken on a new importance and the more he makes the more the pressure will mount.
16I care about this about as much as I care about my mother forgetting what day my birthday is (she always gets it a day off) and this has happened since she was in her 30's.. can we focus on things that matter please?
10Sorry to hear that your mother doesn't respect her own child enough to make an effort to remember their birthday (calendars have existed for a good long while now). And I fail to see how that excuses a political caste disrespecting its voters by offering a geriatric buffoon and a senile grandpa as the only viable candidates in the election for the highest office in the land.

My mother regularly combined me and my sister's name into one word, and I imagine Biden has a bit more on his plate.
10I found a Livestream...
They're playing old speeches and they jumped from the 2008 Palin debate to yesterday's NATO speech...
Which I guess is better than running his old stuff right up to the live stuff. But it was just so fucking jarring. I don't know how people can say age isn't effecting him.
He's just staring down at a podium and reading a piece of paper.
4His old speeches are nowhere close to the train wreck it is now
-1I get most people don't remember him at his peak in the 80s, but Obama wasn't that long ago. Even then, he sounded like a functional adult.
His press conference was supposed to start at 6:30 I thought, then it said 6:55 at one point...
It's 7:07 and he's still not out.
I had to switch streams and now it's just running recent reports on him to kill time, but they're all bad because there's no good news...
I don't know what's going on but he needs to get on camera asap.
