Was there any explanation for the “ooh earth rider, thanks for the Great Lakes” quote? It looked really bad when clipped, but I never watched it in context. Was it really just random gibberish?

This is what the official WH transcript says:quote:And that’s on top of another billion dollars to clean up the Great Lakes, which provide drinking water to 20 million people — (applause) — 20 million people. And, by the way, it used to make the beer brewed here — (laughs) — it is used to make the brewed beer here in this refine- — oh, Earth Rider, thanks for the Great Lakes. I wondered why (inaudible) — (laughter). Even with the understanding that Earth Rider produces beers that are named for the Great Lakes it's unintelligible.

I understand that Biden was trying to make a reference to the brewery’s products that the audience on-site would understand, then tripped on his words and tried.to play it off as a joke.

If Biden wants to win, this sort of word salad is not helpful, and pointing that out is not “pretending.”

"it is used to make the brewed beer here in this refine- — oh, Earth Rider, thanks for the Great Lakes. I wondered why (inaudible) — (laughter)" is not an intelligible sentence. e: Why cut off "refinery" in the first sentence? Why follow up with "I wondered why" and then trail off inaudibly? Like, I get that sometimes people flub words in conversation, and the people they're talking with hopefully understand what they meant to say, and everyone can have a good laugh over it. I trip on my tongue all the time. But I'm not the President of the United States, I'm not running for higher office, I'm not pushing 80, and people don't worry about me being senile. So I tend to get a little more grace than is afforded the President of the United States. Majorian fucked around with this message at 09:19 on Mar 7, 2024 |

FistEnergy posted:Biden's mental abilities have deteriorated significantly, especially lately. And he looks physically much more frail than Trump, and at times seems like he can't even move around well. And I've never seen Trump get lost on stage or look like he doesn't know where he is or what he's supposed to be doing. Trump is the one exhibiting actual stroke symptoms.

It's not just possible, it's pretty much a certainty. But that's the thing: if Team Biden knows the media is running with the "Biden's brain is mush" narrative, they should probably try to make sure he's not playing into it.

I'm a certified Double Hater (see gang tag for some proof), and I originally thought that quote was from Trump and thought "huh that sounds pretty coherent actually", so yeah it's fine. There's plenty of times where Biden called him "Presineld Trunt" or called Obama "President That Guy" etc., you don't need to make up poo poo

TheDeadlyShoe posted:Trump's the one out there forgetting his own wife's name. That poo poo barely rates notice, and meanwhile the press breathlessly reports that Biden might have had some notecards he read off at a private event. ‘ burger found to contain 50% meat ‘ is an entirely different story depending on the branding of the place it came from. Biden’s brand is largely that he is experienced; having a not-so-great brain is a core problem. For Trump, it is close to a positive. If someone _that_ stupid can be so rich and powerful, then he must have something _else_ going for him. What that something else is filled in by the listener. Some literally see the hand of God at work. After all, ‘tiny shepherd boy defeats Goliath’ is a much more memorable story than ‘skilled, but slightly smaller, warriors up a fight I. Which he has a tactical advantage and wins’.

That transcript is an example of why every interview you read "has been edited for clarity" because most people don't talk in perfect sentences most of the time. Biden is definitely on the lower end of the clarity spectrum so it's worse than usual, but I don't think that specific transcript really shows anything other than that. I don't deny that there are other, more concerning examples out there.

Really disappointing stuff out of Katie Porter https://twitter.com/katieporteroc/status/1765513523050791023 "Rig" has become a hugely loaded term over the past few years, as Trump constantly talks about rigged elections in the sense they are stolen. Everyone knows what rig means. People rightly called her out over this and so she's decided to pretend like she wasn't doing what we know she was doing. https://twitter.com/katieporteroc/status/1765621658382168271 Give me a loving break.

I think I need to unsub from this thread for a while and take a mental health non politics break. I had a dream about the election last night, so when it gets to that level its time for a DT detox break. I'm sick of hearing about that fucker and its just not good for me to doom-refresh.

Like, Trump makes the same kind of errors (or worse!) that people claim proves that Biden has dementia or worse, but like dozens of them in a small period of time. maybe, but for Biden it wouldn't even be the first time he suffered a severe cerebral event in the run up to a presidential election

Majorian posted:Let's dig a little deeper into that, though: which parts of the Democratic coalition would they piss off by having a clearly-stated, more humane policy towards immigration and the border? Would they piss off those parts so much that they wouldn't vote for them in the upcoming election? I'm sure you'll have some bones to pick with this piece, but I think there is a point about how working class voter stances on immigration differ from those of more affluent voters. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/17/briefing/immigration-policy-democrats.html quote:I don’t mean to suggest that the Democratic Party’s shift on immigration is simply about Trump. It’s part a larger story — namely, the class inversion of American politics, in which the Democratic Party increasingly reflects the views of socially liberal professionals. On immigration, these affluent, highly educated voters tend to favor more open policies, while working-class voters prefer less immigration. You're right though that I think the Democratic Party needs to start fighing the actual fight again. You're not alone either. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/democrats-tilting-right-immigration-new-york-special-border-deal-rcna139244 quote:“All the hot takes hanging the entirety of Suozzi’s win on ‘immigration’ are conflating two different dynamics. Suozzi didn’t win because he edged rightward on immigration,” Levin said. “To the degree that his focus on immigration helped, it was because it highlighted Republican chaos, political theater and their complete lack of interest in serious governing — all with a crisp receipt in their choice to tank their own border bill.”

Yeah I was going to say a lot of this is probably due to his stutter compounded by age/the stress of being President and I really wish more people would remember that instead of using it as evidence that his mental decline is more pronounced than Donald "where's Rudy" Trump.

My thought also is even if Biden is largely not doing his job, I like most of the people he appoints to his administration more than I actually like him. Trump's tenure basically proved the government can work on autopilot even when an incompetent person is in charge and appoints other incompetents, Biden at least surrounds himself with people who are capable and who frequently have better politics than him. As long as he can be coherent enough to keep Kamala away from becoming the prez I don't really care if his staff is pushing him along. It's not ideal and that's not exactly going to be a great sell to the voters so I still fret about it, but if he gets to stay in there I'm not exactly thinking it'll be a disaster.
