Jackie are you here? Where are you Jackie Walorski?

Coming from someone who supports the guy that thought Frederick Douglass is a real up-and-comer.

Not impressed.

😆😆😆
Don’t forget that he has also endorsed Hershel Walker. And he has offered to negotiate peace between Ukraine and Russia. Does anyone think that Trump could find Ukraine on a map?

If his speech writers are that stupid then they should be fired.  While they’re at it get rid of Kamala’s speech writers too.  After all it had to be their fault that she said in a speech at the DMZ that the US has a strong alliance with the Republic of North Korea.

If President Biden starts saying things like this on a regular basis then I might care but until then. 🤷🏻‍♀️


From News18.com

Donald Trump, former US President, dismissed climate change concerns, claiming that global warming could result in “slightly more seafront property". He was speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference when he made the comment, reports The Independent. He criticised US President Joe Biden and his climate envoy John Kerry. Trump derided them, claiming that even though the world was on the verge of “disintegrating" and “blowing up" over energy, Kerry wanted to speak about global warming. He dismissed concerns about rising sea levels caused by global warming, claiming that any such result would only give rise to slightly more seafront property.“

From The Guardian…

“The people of Finland have reacted with bemusement on social media at Donald Trump’s assertions that the country rakes its forests to help prevent forest fires.

Speaking on Saturday in Paradise, California, about the role of forest management in stemming wildfires, Trump said: “I was with the president of Finland and he said: ‘We have, much different, we are a forest nation.’ He called it a forest nation. And they spend a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things, and they don’t have any problem.”

Finnish social media users immediately posted a range of jokes about Trump’s comments, which do not reflect the reality of how forests are managed in the country.”

Yes, he misspoke and also missed an opportunity to remember her for the work that she had done. His staff should have been on top of that after she passed away. He has gaffes sometimes. The thing that's sad to me is that he remembered that she was one of the writers of the bill and wanted to recognize her. His intentions were so good and yet, the mistake was bad.

I can think of a thousand worse things, where someone started with cruel intentions and said terrible things over and over again, but yes, Biden made a mistake.

As usual, Trae Crowder sums up my thoughts pretty accurately. www.instagram.com/reel/CjGqpJmIZ1v/?igshid=NmNmNjAwNzg=

I'll take a simple mistake where she said North instead of South over a president who idolized and praised the North Korean leader and saluted a North Korean general any day.

As for Biden, his press secretary explained that he was thinking about the Congresswoman.  He made a mistake.

Republicans want to talk about the Biden/ Harris mistakes/ gaffes instead of the Democrats' plans to end hunger.  Or the Biden Administration's foreign policy and strengthening ties with Pacific allies.  Or the fact that Biden offered help to a political opponent without requiring him to kiss his ass.  Or the administration's efforts to help Puerto Rico that didn't involve throwing paper towels.  He didn't declare a hurricane the "wettest we've ever seen from the standpoint of water."

If the only things Republicans can criticize are Hunter Biden and a few minor mistakes in public speeches, I think this country is much stronger and better position than we were with a narcissistic authoritarian who refused to admit defeat and tried to overturn the results of an election.  I have never regretted voting for Biden and can't imagine circumstances where I would regret my vote.  Can Trump supporters say the same thing?

No worse than when Trump was apologizing to the crowd that Melania couldn't be there that day when she was... Standing... Right... Next... To... Him.

It was definitely a screw-up, take your best shot.

Now if I was a Trump supporter and it was one of the many off the wall things that Trump has said in the last 6 years or so, I would probably be defending it by saying well he felt her there in the room in spirit and was just calling out to the heavens for her or some other weird ass excuse. 😉
Another one we heard/hear a lot is well was he was just joking, when you know just by listening to Trump that isn’t true. Or we would hear it was just the libtards, demoncrats, demoRATS (or whatever the newest connotation of democrat/liberal that they are calling them/us/me) twisting his words. Nope they were just screw-ups just like Biden’s were/are.

Not sure what the point is…. I am not sure if you are trying to insinuate that Biden has dementia like many of the Trump supporters I see on line? If it is I would say then you should be thinking the same thing about Trump (and maybe you do, but most Trump supporters do not) because he had just as many gaffes/screw-ups/weird ass comments as the ones people are calling out Biden for.

Yes. He goofed. So has Harris. But I’ll take their mistakes any day over Trump. You probably won’t watch but this guy sums up my thoughts exactly: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRmuQ3km/

I’m a moderate Republican who voted for Biden in the last election. I found this “gaffe” to be concerning.

I was shocked and saddened when Rep. Walorski died, and I had barely heard of her before her accident. Biden actually called her family to express his sympathy, so I would expect him to remember her death. (A president makes a lot of sympathy calls, but a call concerning the sudden death of a sitting congressperson would surely be memorable).

He is a busy man with a lot on his plate, but as he was preparing for this event, I can’t imagine that his aides didn’t remind him of Rep. Walorski’s work in this area and of her recent death.

This may have just been an ordinary mental slip which we all have from time to time, but I also think it’s possible it’s a sign of something more serious. I know I’m taking a wait and see attitude about the event, and I’m sure other middle of the road voters are as well.

I agree with auntkelly.

Biden is going to be 80 years old this year. My parents are the same age. I see up close how the aging process works with the brain. It's not pretty. While I do see this gaffe as a sign that he is getting old and having trouble, comparing him to trump is useless. Because there is no comparison to a compassionate, level headed human and an evil, self centered mobster.

And on that note, I definitely think Biden should not run in 2024. That would put him in his mid 80's for that term. No thank you. There are many other well qualified Democrats that we have to choose from.

No I'm not saying that I never make mental slips.  In fact I said "This may have been an ordinary mental slip which we all have from time to time . . . ."

I am 56 and do my share of embarrassing stuff like this all the time. Stuff I most definitely know. I scare myself. Especially if I’m stressed or tired. I think you’d be hard pressed to find any person, of any age, who hasn’t. I can’t imagine being the president (any president) and handling the amount of information they process.

However, I can see and acknowledge President Biden’s absolutely unfortunate error. And not ignore it, cover for it, or try to pretend it away.
