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.
