  • The Biden Gaffe Machine: A Running List Of Joe Biden’s Best Slip-Ups

    https://thefederalist.com/2019/09/02...best-slip-ups/

    Can anyone add more?

    I'm more interested in the things Biden argued in the past that were none too friendly to blacks and even gays. If you bring up gaffes because of his obvious cognitive decline, the left will just play the whataboutism game. However, Biden's actual poltical stances on polices draws a much uglier picture for them to deal with.

      Like this?

      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            Interesting... Is he playing addled to give his opponents low hanging fruit so they'll overlook the much juicier scandals of his past?

              Whatever scandals Biden has in his past, they'll make as much difference to his support as Trump's did to his.

              Please don't be as out-of-touch with what's going on as conservatives accused liberals of being in 2016.

                They're not scandals, genius. They're actual policies he endorsed. He worked with bonafide racists (not the fake out of context Trump tweets, but ACTUAL lawmakers that thought other races were inferior) on segregation polices, and also fought for harsh crime bills. But it's more-so the speeches he gave, one of which he referred to black communities as a "racial jungle." Even though there's a social blackout to keep low information voters away from that information, there are still MSM articles about it. Even Harris and Booker made reference to it, of course, prior to Biden being the nominee.

                  I'm telling you, man. The more I delve into this subject, racism (I mean actual racism of the past, not the faux racism of today) has much more visible roots with the left than the right, especially in the polices they endorsed in the past, as well as polices they endorse now, which leads me to believe much of this anti-racism crap they incessantly harp on is just a front, at least in some case when it comes to actual government lawmakers.

                    I think it's safe to assume that Biden is sufficiently old and has sufficient cognitive decline that he won't actually do much, and that his government will be run by the people around him, like with Reagan. So it seems reasonable to assume a Biden administration will be a mix of Dem lobbyists and policy wonks much like the Obama/Biden administration.

                    Is that better than the current Trump criminal dysfunctional sociopathic radioactive dumpster fire administration? 1000 times yes. A million times yes. A mediocre/bad Biden administration will be a huge improvement on what the US has now.

                    I don't like Biden's own personal history on policy, but I don't think that will affect things much, or even at all, in his administration, because I don't think it will be him calling the shots. I also think that he, like a lot of dem politicians, understand which way the social winds of change have blown on black and gay issues, and won't try to go back to the policies of an earlier age.

                      Reagan didn't go into office with problems. Biden would be.

                          It's the way you tried to frame it, like it's questionable. It isn't up for debate like the alleged assault against Tara Reade, or his creepy groping of females on camera, or the Ukraine "scandal," where leftists like you quibble over exactly why he got Shokin fired. This is actual policy he endorsed. And though it was many years ago, we're in a current political climate where just something you may have said in the past that can even merely be construed as racist can end your career. Of course his little campaign lackeys have tried to downplay it, but you can't downplay it. He not only supported the policy, but was gungho about it, collaborated with actual bonafide outspoken racists, and went to great lengths to support it.

                            I just wish Democrats could come up with a better candidate; surely there is one.

                              Doesn't matter how I tried to "frame" it, because the observation stands irregardless.

                              Whatever scandals Biden has in his past, they'll make as much difference to his support as Trump's did to his.

                              I note in passing that you're the first one to lob insults in this exchange. I would prefer to speak in the abstract, rather than making it personal, if you don't mind.
