Joe Biden Presidency thread *Please read OP - Threadbanned Users Added 4/5/21*

Biden tells crowd he recently met with Mitterrand, former French president who died in 1996.

Weighing up his election opponent is surely up for discussion. I fancy his chances against a rapist. His slight gaffe versus a rapist confusing the woman he raped with his own ex wife also seems to make him look better than his rapist opponent, no?

The best that a pro-Trumper/anti-Biden can hope for is for people to accept that *both* candidates are too old and therefore will stay at home.

This is why they bang on about Biden making mistakes.

It's a weak sauce voter suppression technique.

They know that the Trump supporters will never be put off voting for their guy, despite the gulf of difference in quality between Biden being a competent and decent guy and Trump being a lying, racist, rapist fraud.

I'm looking for your posts on the trump thread concerning his gaffs and apparent degradation, yet I'm yet to see then therefore I don't think you really care about them do you?

Seems sharp to me

Biden's stumbles are interesting in the sense that at least they demonstrate a deeper underlying knowledge or level of intellectual curiosity. Mitterand/Macron and Black and Tans/All Blacks being examples - you'd have to have a baseline knowledge of French politics or Irish history to be making such gaffes in the first place. It's a far cry from much of the incoherent rambling from Trump, which is little more than gibberish at times.

Didn't know about the Conan podcast interview, thanks for the tip mate

It's grand though because he's using the names of actual people who've been dead for years rather than just spouting gibberish. That makes it actually a good thing. He said the name of a French leader, didn't he, what's the problem? Even though he called mitterand German originally, France is beside Germany so his geographical knowledge is still second to none also.

Biden has a stutter. Plus people of all ages often mixup names their memory has compartmentalized into the same category eg French presidents starting with the letter M, female relatives whose first name starts with M, male relatives whose first names start with J.

Have you never mixed up someone's name before?

Biden is running because he's the incumbent, they (almost) always run and he has been a very competent POTUS. LBJ was the last incumbent to not run, he'd been POTUS for a term-and-a-half and the country hated him due to Vietnam.

An inanimate carbon rod could beat TFG in this upcoming election. 91 indictments, not immune from prosecution, hundreds of millions in lawsuit verdicts owed...

When is this 'before' time when there were no jokes about US Presidents or US society?

Were you living under a rock 2016-2020? Was the US a laughing stock then by your metric?

Trying to pin that on Biden is not a 'fact', you seem confused about what a fact is, if that's your take on things.

I can remember jokes about US Presidents as long as I've been alive, they all had their cariacatures, some of them quite funny, the funniest often being Americans themselves eg Saturday Night Live, followed by say Spitting Image. Reagan, Bush Snr, Clinton, Bush Jnr. The difference being Trump is a cariacature, as are his MAGA supporters, if that's the laughing stock you have in mind.

With Biden at least there is a grown up in The White House (i.e. a sense of adult responsibility).
