Edit: The only thing better from recent years I can think of is the thing where Biden suddenly started rambling about climbing mountains with Xi Jinping. That's still the GOAT of "Dem politician with their brains melting on stage" events.

my favorite is still "America is a nation that can be defined in a single word"

That's the same quote! He goes into the Xi Jinping stuff after that (it's part of what makes it so funny - you think the "defined one word - abluhbluhbluh" is the only funny part, but then the he suddenly starts talking about going 17,000 miles in the Himalayas with Xi Jinping.

That and Trump's RBG quote are hands down the funniest things to happen in at least the last few years.

He knew what he said immediately but it seems like it was exactly the sort of gaffe it appears to be at first glance.

Sir! Sir! Please sir, I beg of you, to post the CONTEXT of this racist, centrist democrat senate candidate struggling to put a sentence together. Very simply, this video was posted by a bad twitter account, and it lacks appropriate context of the rest of the speech, sir, and it's not clear if the guy who chased down a black jogger and held him at gunpoint because he heard a gun shot, sir, was simply making a rhetorical point.

once you know he's trying to say "Oz celebrates" and not "I celebrate" it sounds to me like that's actually what he's saying even in the short clip, he's just kinda slurring his words because of the stroke :shrug:

this comment lol (there are actually a number in this vein)

quote:

Trump can say a lot of distasteful things, and doesn't know when to just be silent sometimes but in this moment he was sincere ans you could just feel his sense of "we need to bridge the divide" was genuine and raw. What he said was actually a beautiful heartfelt message.

If you think about it putting a bunch of people like Fetterman in congress is ideal for dems because no matter what they actually say you can have someone parse the sheep entrails and come up with a way they actually meant something good

Yeah on the personal level this sucks for him and he certainly has my sympathy but he's a politician running on a platform of lovely things (being a democrat) so I have no qualms about saying maybe he should frack off.

If Fetterman had dropped out when he had that stroke, the party 100% would have replaced him on the ballot with Connor Lamb, who would have lost by like ... loving 15%.

yeah for all that I've soured on Fetterman he still has a better chance to win than Lamb and he would still make a better senator than Lamb so like, I'm glad he's still running if he wants to run?

Even having a stroke is a better campaign move than Lamb would have ever done. It would have been spamming emails and then wondering if they lost because they didn't spam enough emails.

Fetterman shouldn't even be campaigning on how Oz cheated millions out of poor desperate people because the average voter admires that. They'd steal every social security check in the state from their recipients if they could.

When the Build the Wall stuff went down and it came out that Brian Kolfage and Steve Bannon were scamming donors and buying boats and poo poo with the money, there were people on TV and on various internet outlets saying that they didn't care and would continue to donate if they could.

These people love scammers and want to have their money taken away by daddy.
