    The one word switch in an hour of nuanced policy discussions as the headline is more a failure of the media than Biden.

    This a million times over. He did a great job the whole time and had one weird slip up, and all the media cares about is the slip up.

    Fuck the media. Focus on the substantive part of the meeting, not the one meaningless gaffe. I say stupid shit all the time by accident, it doesn’t matter. It’s not even a sign of age, people just do this kind of thing because we’re human.

      A great job the whole time? This gaffe aside, he seemed to lose his train of thought a number of times, he didn’t directly answer some questions and, when he was “on”, he just seemed to repeat parts of his speeches. We can do better. While not my first choice, Kalama is better.

        Let’s talk about a Harris/AOC ticket if we have a democracy after this. Everything else is secondary.

      Has he had an appearance recently that hasn’t had at least one? Maybe we should ask the leader of Ukraine, President Putin.
