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".
We have wings for pigs on backorder already.
Not sure how to interpret that response.
I thought I made several points (opinions to be sure) open to discussion or dispute.
If that is what you bring to the table I need you to clarify if you would.


I no longer directly engage trolls
