My husband was having a stroke
Orange man made husband a joke
Cognitive test, I say this in jest
Fuck me our system is broken
Understandable. He was apparently very sick that day, and obviously also very old.
Still wish he was president instead of the shit-gibbon, though.
Apparently he has a speech pathology problem too (a stutter), which he trains himself out of... And according to Wikipedia:
Biden has a reputation for being prone to gaffes.[833][834][835]

I thought I was having a stroke during the 2024 debate. It went that badly.
IIIIIII beeeeeeeaaat Medddicccaaaare!!!
So glad Joe and his handlers felt he should run for a second term.
That decision just worked out fabulously. So happy about it.
Lets just notice and remember how many people here were not only cheerleading the decision, but literally demanding that he run. They were telling us we were crazy to not want the incumbent to run.
I took a lot of abuse when I was calling for him to step down when it was fucking obvious he was going to get trounced. Harris was a shit choice but she still did way better than he would have.
DNC snatching defeat from the jaws of victory as usual. They're complicit.
If Harris was going to be the candidate she needed to face a robust primary, like any Democrat should. It's not just about understanding the candidate but about forcing them to be better in hard positions.
Harris was garbo in the 2020 primary. Did she even get a single delegate?
Even with that, Harris could have easily won if she would have ignored blue Maga and the third way crowd. If she would have let Walz be Walz. If she would have leaned into being the party of the left instead of trying to be diet republican.
still do get a lot of abuse, some chode above in this thread is still saying we all misremembered and it was a slight gaffe that had been there all along
Fucker knew he had uncureable cancer and still fucking ran. If he just done as he promised an only did the one term. We could had a primary and maybe had a candidate that would got people out to vote.
Of course Trump as admitted as much that all the machines in key states were rigged in his favor. So we might still loss. But at least we had a chance. Instead he tried and fail and thought they could just stick us with Harris. And goddammit she could have won if she shifted from Israel and fought for progressive vote instead of pivoting right instead.
Of course Trump as admitted as much that all the machines in key states were rigged in his favor.
Thank you for saying this. I feel like sometimes I am the only person in the world who remembers that Trump said out loud that Musk "knows about voting machines better than anybody". Like, isn't that suspicious? I understand that the Democrats ran a bad campaign, but to lose in every single swing state after Trump had already been president once and was grossly unpopular at the end of his first term, there has to be something more to it than just her stance on Israel/Gaza and not running a primary.
And of course, the Dems take the high road and don't demand investigations so that they avoid comparisons to election deniers on the right that ceaselessly parroted baseless conspiracies throughout Biden's term. Almost as if it was planned all along...
I want to believe that my fellow Americans aren't collectively stupid enough to actually pick Trump a second time. I really, really want to believe.

Us too Jill. Us too.
We also thought he was stroking out.
We all knew he had a speech impediment. He could have probably skipped the debate outright and said I don't debate people who commit treason and come out on top more likely. For all the shade he caught, his administration was doing good things, and I was worried he would bomb the debate, and boy did he. As I was watching it, I said to my friend they are going to demand he steps down now, and Trump is going to win against whoever they shoehorn in. Sure enough, here we are. So great, so again.
Fuck her, according to reporting from Jake Tapper (I know, I know) she was one of the main people keeping Joe under wraps to avoid scrutiny. She’s a contemptible villain. She brought us Donald Trump.
I thought he was having a stroke for 4 years
