Bumbling Joe Biden gaffes his way through COVID-19 roundtable as he falsely claims '85,000 jobs have been lost in the US and millions of Americans have died' since pandemic began

Presumptive 2020 Democratic nominee Joe Biden bumbled his way through a ‘virtual roundtable’ he hosted on Thursday afternoon, as questions regarding the former Vice President’s mental acuity continue to mount. Concern of Biden’s mental sharpness has been the subject of constant debate ever since he launched his White House bid last April, following a number of blunders he's made during televised interviews and campaign speeches in the months since. And the self-proclaimed ‘gaffe machine’ did little to mitigate those apprehensions during a monologue about soaring unemployment levels on Thursday, in which he wrongly claimed 85,000 jobs have been lost in the US as a result of COVID-19, and millions of Americans have died.

Social media FB et al use Snopes to “fact check” true patriotic posts and declare them false.

FB uses Snopes to chastise Free Republic on FaceBook and declare true stores false. And either remove them or make FR on FB less accessible.

Biden’s gaffes are not seen by 45% of the public,they are totally unaware he has a cognitive problem

>>>During a debate earlier this year, Joe was stressing his anti-2A bonafides and claimed that 50 million Americans had died by gun violence since the assault weapons ban expired<<<

I believe the number was 150 Million.

This is the first campaign I’ve seen where effectively the vice presidential nominee will be running for president.

This guy is a train wreck.

The only analogy would be Woodrow Wilson after his stroke.

Well there is another one most people overlook. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a dying man when he stupidly ran for his 4th term. He looked awful during his 4th inauguration on January 20, 1945, and even worse during the terrible Yalta conference with Churchill and Stalin February 4–11, 1945. He gave away eastern Europe during that meeting. He died on April 12, 1945 less than three months after his inauguration.

Democrats will run a cadaver if they think it would somehow win them power.

The moderators will give Joe Biden questions ahead of time so he will be able to practice his answers with his handlers.

Be great if the contenders could ask each other questions for a half hour.

Seriously, I am betting they give Joe a few lines of cocaine just prior to his appearances. There are several times Joe has had a need to wipe his nose, I have wondered.

Agree.

But even handed the questions and answers in advance and given time to rehearse, do you think he could remember what to say? I don’t.

I don’t think an earpiece feeding him info would work either.

He is too far gone.

And it’s not like he’s going to improve between now and any potential debate.

From what I can tell, he’s sliding down fast. He’ll be lucky not to drool on the podium.

>>Biden’s stumbles and gaffes are irrelevant to at least 45% of the voting public. They’ll vote for Demented Joe if he’s in a casket.

Many will be voting from their casket, so I guess that makes sense.

While Joe is seriously in mental decline, he is being used as the useful idiot. The groundwork is being laid for nothing Joe says can be believed.
It’s either that or the full elimination of Joe. Dems have a problem.

Mmm... I remember back in ‘08 that the reason McCain even had a chance was because conservatives were pulling the lever for McCain but secretly hoping Sarah Palin would have the job before long.

Biden needs a script. I don’t even hate him, but he sounds like that governor of my former home state where the governor sounded very long-winded and senile and her main reason for getting elected governor of Delaware was the fact that she was a Democrat, because her long winded speaking and occasional mixing up words were less bearable than listening to then POTUS George W. Bush at the time.

I do dislike him, but I try not to go so far off the deep end the way people have to play opposites with Trump.
