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.

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

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

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