Gaffe Machine Strikes Again.
I'm sure Russian media is all over it, C'mon Joe!

Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!
Re: Gaffe Machine Strikes Again.
I gotta be honest. This is a nothing burger. He said such supplies were "all to help counter Ukraine's brutal aggression that's happening because of Russia.".
Okay so isn't this the same as saying Ukraine is being aggressed against?
Or Ukraine is suffering brutal aggression because of Russia?

Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it. There's no going back, and we can only go forward before we run out of runway.

Re: Gaffe Machine Strikes Again.
Is it too much to ask for President that is cogent?
Bush was ragged on for saying Strategery. Which actually is kind of clever.
Quail for a misspelling of Pommes De Terre.
So, I guess, excuse my French!

From the guy who would have blown Trump.

Re: Gaffe Machine Strikes Again.
But Trump never ever committed any verbal gaffes.
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

Trump made me cringe all the time, but you must have not got the memo - he's not president anymore.

Trump didn't get the memo either.

Gaffe Machine. Wasn't that an early 80s new wave band?

BTW, Quayle (not Quail) was never President.

Well, in a move that may help balance out gaffes/lies made by either of these hood ornaments mentioned, the dinks @ Meta must have seen the error of their ways (read: lost a bunch of active users) and have announced that they are restoring T's Facebook and InstaGram accounts 'in the coming weeks'.
Sad, sad day.

Re: Gaffe Machine Strikes Again.
A gaffe and a lie aren't the same thing
A gaffe and an incredibly insensitive statement (whether true, false or an opinion) aren't the same thing, assuming the insensitive statement was intended as spoken.
I think trump is more guilty of the later than the former in both examples above.
Trump is incredibly insensitive. His beliefs are often incredibly polarizing. He lies more often than most politicians.
But when he opens his mouth most of the time he says what he intends. Those aren't gaffes, those are the words of an obnoxious human being.
Biden does commit gaffes, a fair number of them. They are essentially harmless on the surface. But they can't constantly be shrugged off. At some point they need to be charted to see if they are increasing and if so are they a sign of cognitive decline accelerating? The guy is 80 years old and as far as I know thinking of running again in 2024.
At some point democrat's need to start talking out loud whether he is their guy going forward.
And to be clear republicans need to shit can Trump and find a new "leader".
