Sorry for the short notice on this one, it was announced this morning but I just found out now.

8 PM Eastern / 5 PM Pacific, from the Oval Office. Biden speaking, presumably about the Trump assassination attempt.

      The disability? No. The sentence it produced, given the context of the event that just happened? Yes.

      That said, the meat of my last post was the criticism of the message. Beyond a chuckle at “lol, battle” I don’t really care that he misspoke. I do care that we’re being told to just sit pretty in the midst of things like the planet burning up and the Nazis coming back. He talks about us settling our differences of opinion with civility like the opinion being discussed is whether or not pineapple is good on pizza… we got bigger fish to fry. One of those fish already had its own world war; we fried it the first time with a fuckton of violence. If violence isn’t the way this time around, what’s the plan? Voting is good and well: do it! I definitely will. …but we’ve been voting, and the existential threats persist. He wants us to be nice and quiet. Okay… so give us a road map of how that’s going to actually work.

        Biden’s biggest problem is assuming the opposition is arguing from a position of honest disagreement. They aren’t. Everyone knows they aren’t. Biden’s insistance that they are good people and honest brokers he can deal with is incredibly naive for an 81 year old.

      And Trump is a sociopath, you discriminating against his disability? Biden can’t carry a sentence because he’s old as fuck combined with a stutter. We all know Biden is the better option, but don’t be a gaslighting little removed and pretend it isn’t real.
