Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Look bruh, I confuse my kids’ names n shit. I’m like mid 40s. Pretty sure it’s not a fucking thing that he accidentally said putin.

HOWEVER, even though I personally don’t give a fuck about this gaffe, I recognize that fucktard undecideds will select the next prez, and they’re turned off to Biden for legit reasons, while at the same time blind to trump’s stupidity, treason, narcissism, and pernicious malignancy. Fucking idiot cunts.

And so, I think Brandon must fuck off. We’re fucked unless he’s gone.

Don't worry everyone. We're in good hands. Biden is Sharp as a Tack.

He did pick up on the Putin gaffe and immediately corrected himself and explained that his enemies have been on his mind lately.

He didn't correct calling Kamala Harris Trump.

He's been known for making gaffes since he was Obama's vice president. From his Wikipedia page:

The remark revived Biden's reputation for gaffes.[227][221][228]

Those sources are from 2009.

Journalist and TV anchor Wolf Blitzer has called Biden loquacious;[692] journalist Mark Bowden has said that he is famous for "talking too much", leaning in close "like an old pal with something urgent to tell you".[298] He often deviates from prepared remarks[693] and sometimes "puts his foot in his mouth".[169][694][695] Biden has a reputation for being prone to gaffes[696] and in 2018 called himself "a gaffe machine".[697][698] The New York Times wrote that Biden's "weak filters make him capable of blurting out pretty much anything."[169]

He has struggled with a stutter most of his life, which he learned to cover up.

We’re so fucked if these are the best candidates our parties can put forward.

People out there are really trying to insist that swing voters are gonna think "He reminds me of grandpa when we told him he needs to stop driving. He's got my vote."

Yes, I know you'd still pick a braindead Biden over any version of Trump. I would too. It's not about ability as a president, it's about ability to get elected president. I'm sick of hearing that like it addresses a single person's concerns about him remaining in the race.

I’d be more concerned if Biden stopped making gaffes, that would be out of character
