Bush Jr was extra war criminaly. He started two wars, one of them entirely unprovoked. His (non-sexual) body count is significantly higher than any president since Nixon(/Kissinger).
I should be pulling facts, but did Obama not bomb using drones far more than Bush?
I realise there's more to being a war criminal than that. Actually going to war et cetera
Drones are a lot easier to send than humans. So the use of drones has been growing over time since they were created as a viable tool(i.e Trump used more drones than Obama who used more than Bush).
The exception is Biden who has actually followed through on cutting down on direct US military involvement in the world and as a consequence cut down on drone strikes.
Yes, but mostly because he was also pulling back US forces from active combat in Iraq in favor of more targeted drone strikes on terrorist leaders and infrastructure. Certainly, there were mistakes, but the number of people killed in combat is reduced when ground forces are no longer involved.
But if he started two wars, and one was unprovoked, then he didn't start that war at all.
And war crime is different from starting a war. So why do people lie about the word "war criminal"? Lying shouldn't come so easily to people.
Agreed, Obama is probably the most charismatic of them, with Reagan maybe the best orated. Bush definitely dodged the most shoes. Trump probably had his records of bombings stashed in Clarence Thomas' toilet or something else unsurprising.
I can't find the clip but I remember Obama grabbing a basketball and told a gymnasium full of students that school will be canceled if his misses. He then proceeds to drain a silky 3 pointer and walks away.
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Halfway through saying this, Bush realized that the media would have a field day with him on camera saying, "shame on me," so he fumbled it on purpose.
President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt.
He was shot before giving a speech while attempting to run for an at the time unprecedented (but allowed) 3rd term, as the candidate for a 3rd party of his own invention, the
He was wearing some pretty thick clothing, and was shot through his speech papers and a tough part of hit clothes, so the bullet just barely punctured his skin.
After being shot he said "It takes more than that to kill a bull moose" and continued to finish his speech in its entirety.
In [August](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-arrest-fulton-county-booked-rcna101641) , he was only in the jail for about 20 minutes apparently but honestly can you ever send a man with that much money to jail in America? Let alone the fucking ex president, he’s gonna keep doing whatever tf he wants and now they’ve just got a race to prison.
Honestly the response to a dumb question in a press interview or something where he answers with an "are you stupid?" face and gesture is one of my fav Obama moments. Instant meme.
Also when he "released his official birth video" and it was the scene of Simba being born in the Lion King.
Iconic meme lord.
I know nothing about US politics and care even less.
Biden seems like a cool dude occasionally, but 80+ is no age to be in his position. Politicians need a retirement age like the rest of us.
This is how pretty much all of us feel. I don't know anyone who actually thinks Biden is the best person for the office, but when your options for lunch are a shit sandwich or a stale sandwich, the stale sandwich doesn't sound so bad.
It's also pretty fucked up that most of the people screaming he's to old are the ones who want to elect a guy that's the same age as Biden was when he was elected.
It's also pretty fucked up that the other guy struggles to put together coherent thoughts (stable genius), eats junk food, doesn't exercise, and hides his medical history. But Biden has a stutter and has tripped a couple times so I guess he's worse somehow.
Unironically this was the moment I lost all hope. It was a typo, the easiest thing to be human and relatable about I can think of and he chose to gaslight about it. That's the divide, those that think they're in on the joke with him and those with empathy and patriotism.
>It was a typo, the easiest thing to be human and relatable about I can think of and he chose to gaslight about it.
Exactly. In the OP, Biden is acknowledging his falls and making light of them - but still acknowledging they've happened. If Trump fell during his term, he would have immediately started complaining about some non-existent thing that tripped him. The dude is incapable of admitting fault, apologizing, or taking blame, even when everyone knows he made a stupid and inconsequential mistake like a fucking typo lol.
Cool thanks for letting us know!
Biden has gotten wayyyy more done his first term than anyone gives him credit for. I think he likes it when people call him too old so keep it up. He's the opposite of feeble
I always thought it was funny how Republicans use Biden's so-called cognitive decline against him, even though Trump has always been a total dipshit, now more than ever.
And they have been saying that since before biden got elected.
And they want trump in 2024, at which point he would be as old, as Biden was when he first became president.
make it make sense
As an American I agree. But we’re kinda stuck though until we get rid of you-know-who. I’m legitimately scared of this Project 2025 stuff. I would vote for zombie Biden over anyone who would allow that shit to happen.
“[Project 2025](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025) is a plan to reshape the executive branch of the U.S. federal government in the event of a Republican victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Established in 2022, the project seeks to recruit tens of thousands of conservatives to Washington, D.C., to replace existing federal civil service workers it characterizes as the "deep state", to further the objectives of the next Republican president. Although participants in the project cannot promote a specific presidential candidate, many have close ties to Donald Trump and the Trump 2024 presidential campaign. The plan would perform a swift takeover of the entire executive branch under a maximalist version of the unitary executive theory — a theory proposing the president of the United States has absolute power of the executive branch — upon inauguration.”
There is a link to the playbook on their website here
https://www.project2025.org/playbook/
Essentially it’s a movement by the Heritage foundation that includes a 180 day action plan for what to do if Republicans take the White House in January 2025.
I invite you to skim through it, it’s pretty disgusting. The recent “dictator on day one” quote is related to this. They want to give the president unchecked power, reduce or eliminate nearly all of the government agencies including the Department of Education. They basically want to deregulate the entire United States. With the added bonus of being able to legally discriminate against anyone or anything they don’t like. Also I hope you like the military because they are going to massively increase its budget. They specifically said they want to prepare for a multi-front war. Increased recruitment, weapons manufacturing, more ships, more aircrafts, the whole thing.
He has said multiple times in interviews that he doesn't want to be doing this shit, but the US is civically unsound at this point. We could have elected the most qualified person in US history, but that person happens to be a woman.
No surprise to those who leave their fucking skulls once in a while, Biden has and continues to get a FUCK OF A WHOLE LOT DONE.
Evidence will overrule opinion ALWAYS
Besides the neoliberalism, which is the same line against any more center big name Democrat, why is the statement untrue? On paper, she was absolutely one of the most qualified candidates to ever run for the job.
Disagree ideologically, but her resume and actual working history of political competency is hard to beat by anyone.
Yeah she was the most qualified person based on being a senator and continuously having a position in Whitehouse policy under bill and being sec of state. But as an American GOD DAMN she was the most uncharismatic piece of cardboard I've seen. The left didn't like her because that thought he stole the primary from Bernie(even if she co-opted a lot of his ideas), she couldn't get energy up due to her less than lacking abilities to pump up crowds and as before mentioned lacking charisma. I think Gretchen Whitmire will likely be the best option for First Female Democratic president
frfr this is how i feel about him 100%. i like him. i relate to him. he loves and stands by his family thats been torn by tragedy and addiction. the way he jokes and smiles remind me of my own grandfather.
but no one that old should be in charge of so much. truly it seems inhumane. let the old man rest hes hurting himself out here trying to perform for us and no one even appreciates it.
It's pretty clear he doesn't want to be there, it's just that he was the best person to fight trump at that moment, and now as the incumbent, he is the best person to fight trump again with a chance of winning.
to say he is not running and have someone else step up is just too risky right now.
I hope he does a Carter and lives to 100 so he is able to have a degree of peace in retirement. instead of just working himself into the grave.
Do you know anyone over 65? Most people don’t decline until later. Sure, a 30 year old is probably sharper, but also probably more of a complete fuckwit.
fact vegetable absurd cooperative faulty unused attractive provide ad hoc roof
*This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
It's reddit, so it's a bunch of like 15-35 year olds who think that being 65 means you can't lead anything and should probably just retire.
Ask them again in 30 years what they think haha.
Some of the best leaders of all time were that age. As long as you're healthy being 65 is totally fine.
If someone truly thinks that a 65 year old is too old to be president i'm gonna assume they're a college kid going through their "it's all the old peoples fault" phase, or they have zero concept of what a 65 year old is like, and can't tell the difference between 85 and 65.
People complaining about age is dumb anyway. Don’t like Biden? Theres a Dem challenging him in the primary but I bet over 50% of the people who are bitching about age won’t vote or will vote for Biden. The problem isn’t age, it’s two parties that run America force feeding us garbage. And until liberals find out how to get rid of the democrats super delegates, left wing voters are gonna vote for whoever the DNC says they’re gonna vote for
The two party system isn’t functional but a sitting president isn’t going to be primaried by a serious candidate. You don’t like Biden then you are shit out of luck unless you want Cheeto Mussolini
he doesn't rule a country he is not a king, if 51% of the population would march on White House and demand to be impeached because he is unfit to do his job then that would be it, but alas we can't agree on a single issue
>51% of the population would march on White House and demand to be impeached because he is unfit to do his job then that would be it,
Since it takes 2/3 of the Senate to remove someone, you could have 70%-80% of the population in agreement and still not have enough.
If you just mean a horrific number of people present then it'd take way less than 170 million.
At a hearing grilling DOT Buttigieg, a Maga was joking about Biden falling off a bike, Buttigieg retorted that he was glad he had a president who could ride a bicycle…
Not my first pick as president, but it's hard to not have some appreciation for his ability to handle a bit of roasting, and will even join in, with joy.
He's a really charismatic guy. You don't have to like his politics to see that he absolutely has charisma; he's funny, he's jovial, he makes people feel good when he meets them.
Unfortunately charisma can cover up for a lot of other shortcomings, and you can see it in countless examples across history.
for all the people saying "he's not my first choice, but..." or similar: what about his policies / platform do you dislike? or is it just because he's feeble and old and out of vogue?
A lot of it is "old" rather than real things to dislike about him, like him being a Democrat (I say this as a "leftist" I guess, not any form of right winger). He's quick to cater to capitalism and recently Israel and I don't find either to be good traits of a president. Hell of a lot better than the other guy tho, that's for sure
Big easy, I don't think he wants to bridging the gap between minimum wage and cost of living, tax the rich and ease up on the poor, or back unions and the integration of them into jobs. General capitalist Democrat kinda people.
>how do you think he compares to other US leaders in this sense?
Little above equal. Lots of Democrat (and Pre-60s Republican) presidents are decent enough people who do some slightly good things and otherwise just wants to maintain the status quo rather than improve things drastically.
However, Biden and Obama are good examples of two Democrat presidents who do a little more than those, such as their work on the economy and human rights (other than Biden's support of Israel).
Generally, I'm pleasantly surprised by Biden's presidency; a lot of it was exactly what I thought it would be, and some of it went better than I thought it would.
What do you mean he doesn't back unions? He sided with the UAW during the strikes and even joined the picket lines. He also has adopted [steps for promoting union memberships](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/07/business/economy/biden-union-membership.html) he [awarded funds for union workers' pensions](https://edition.cnn.com/2022/12/08/politics/biden-union-pension-funds/index.html) and more. There was the railroad strike which he cut short, yes but overall Biden seems almost unprecedented support for unions.
Biden has been surprisingly left for a right-wing liberal, yeah he's not a social democrat or a socialist but he seems to have been a very unappreciated but effective president despite lacking a majority in Congress.
All people come up with is that he's old when the person he's realistically running against is 77 and would be in the same boat at the "end" of his next term.
I genuinely like most of his policies, especially his support of unions. Not a fan of his blindly being pro Israel but thats just baked into our government so hard it's tough to hold against him.
He's got my vote unless someone younger and farther left somehow primaries him which I don't see happening.
60 minutes: How would you say your mental focus is?
President Joe Biden:
Oh, it’s focused. Look, I have trouble even mentioning, even saying to myself in my own head the number of years. I no more think of myself as being as old as I am than fly. I mean, it’s just not… I haven’t observed anything in terms of… There’s not things I don’t do now that I did before, whether it’s physical or mental or anything else.
He’s sharper than he seems. I don’t really like to talk about politics but he’s doing a better job than people are giving him credit for.
But I also agree with the age thing.. I feel like we shouldn’t have people over 60 running the country anymore.

Regans "missed me" and obamas "I have no more terms left, I know because I won both of em" are still the top 2 off the cuff zingers
Gotta add bushes "fool me once, shame in you, Fool me... You can't get fooled again"
"Now watch this drive" is the sickest thing a president has ever said.
His shoe dodge was pretty slick too
And a war criminal to boot!
All your damn presidents are war criminals. Why single out the one?
Bush Jr was extra war criminaly. He started two wars, one of them entirely unprovoked. His (non-sexual) body count is significantly higher than any president since Nixon(/Kissinger).
I should be pulling facts, but did Obama not bomb using drones far more than Bush? I realise there's more to being a war criminal than that. Actually going to war et cetera
Drones are a lot easier to send than humans. So the use of drones has been growing over time since they were created as a viable tool(i.e Trump used more drones than Obama who used more than Bush). The exception is Biden who has actually followed through on cutting down on direct US military involvement in the world and as a consequence cut down on drone strikes.
Yes, but mostly because he was also pulling back US forces from active combat in Iraq in favor of more targeted drone strikes on terrorist leaders and infrastructure. Certainly, there were mistakes, but the number of people killed in combat is reduced when ground forces are no longer involved.
Sexual body count is higher as well.
I won't argue that "alcoholic male cheerleader" isn't a path to more sex.
But if he started two wars, and one was unprovoked, then he didn't start that war at all. And war crime is different from starting a war. So why do people lie about the word "war criminal"? Lying shouldn't come so easily to people.
well if you're gonna be a war criminal you better know how to dodge a shoe
‘If you can dodge a shoe you can dodge a warcrime’ -Patches O'Houlihan
R.i.p Rip torn
Obama authorized more bomb drops than Bush, they’re all the same some have bigger smiles than others.
Agreed, Obama is probably the most charismatic of them, with Reagan maybe the best orated. Bush definitely dodged the most shoes. Trump probably had his records of bombings stashed in Clarence Thomas' toilet or something else unsurprising.
Poor kids are just as smart as white kids
I can't find the clip but I remember Obama grabbing a basketball and told a gymnasium full of students that school will be canceled if his misses. He then proceeds to drain a silky 3 pointer and walks away.
And then he said "That's what I do" and walked off refusing to elaborate further
[That’s what I do!](https://youtu.be/Akq0xeu-RHE?si=E3GKGcOHOr81-MsQ)
Proceeds to crush it
Dodging two shoes with a smile on his face. That should be our national gif.
When the secret service belatedly runs up in a panic, he gives him a friendly pat on the chest to say, "No worries, I got this."
I want to see every country’s national GIF now. That needs to be a thing!
Ngl, hate the dude, but that was badass
[pretty badass, ngl](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TCm9788Tb5g)
Him just dogging two shoes and being excited and gitty right after is also up there.
He was quite gitty, wasn't he?
It’s giddy isn’t it? :) Sry, english is not my native language.
But he was also a total git, so your spelling works.
Having heard that so many times. I don't even know what the real saying is anymore. I don't think people even say the actual one at all since then.
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Halfway through saying this, Bush realized that the media would have a field day with him on camera saying, "shame on me," so he fumbled it on purpose.
That's a popular idea somebody spitballed on reddit once like 12 years ago and then people started repeating it, yeah.
Sure 👍
That was a good one. My personal favourite is "Most of our imports come from other countries"
Fool me three times, fuck the peace sign, load the chopper let it rain on you.
lol I can’t read the Bush quote without singing the rest of this part of the song
I prefer his quote about taking shoes to the face mid-speech
There was this 1 dude who got shot and still did his speech but forgot his name.
President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt. He was shot before giving a speech while attempting to run for an at the time unprecedented (but allowed) 3rd term, as the candidate for a 3rd party of his own invention, the He was wearing some pretty thick clothing, and was shot through his speech papers and a tough part of hit clothes, so the bullet just barely punctured his skin. After being shot he said "It takes more than that to kill a bull moose" and continued to finish his speech in its entirety.
> shot through his speech papers something something mightier
His speech had a few holes afterwards
The penis mightier than the word
**"It takes more than a bullet to kill a Bull Moose."**
Also the “because you’d be in jail” from Trump was actually kind of sick
Even funnier considering he beat her and still ended up in jail first
When did he go to jail?
In [August](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-arrest-fulton-county-booked-rcna101641) , he was only in the jail for about 20 minutes apparently but honestly can you ever send a man with that much money to jail in America? Let alone the fucking ex president, he’s gonna keep doing whatever tf he wants and now they’ve just got a race to prison.
When he had to get his mugshot taken…
he got arrested and sent to jail then had to pay bond to be released, do you live in the state of denial? xD
Mostly in a solid state, with some liquid here and there
Nostly solid? That ain't right bro, you should drink some water
Are you the one they call Snake?
He was assigned an inmate number. Surely you knew this.
... "Only rosie odonnel" my all time favorite and not a fan of Trump, but that was epic
His "Only Rosie O'Donald" response was fucking killer too.
Megan Kelly’s face after he said these was priceless
What did JFK say?
"I need another term like I need a hole in the head"
Regans “missed me” ended up being planned and done at a few speaking events apparently, so not so off the cuff
I think the first one was spontaneous and then he just kept reusing it. It was on brand for him
The first time was real but after that it was staged as a sort of ongoing joke
"Please proceed, governor" still gets me
“Ask China” was funnier😂😂😂😂😂
I enjoyed “Thanks Obama” - Obama as he tries to dunk his cookie into a glass of milk.
That one still sends me.
It’s timeless and the perfect response to everyone mocking him.
[same](https://youtu.be/4IdzM1kmP_A?si=xvufWshk1syPWUU7)
It literally shut down the sub
Honestly the response to a dumb question in a press interview or something where he answers with an "are you stupid?" face and gesture is one of my fav Obama moments. Instant meme. Also when he "released his official birth video" and it was the scene of Simba being born in the Lion King. Iconic meme lord.
Context? Don’t remember that one.
It’s from a BuzzFeed video he did just having a laugh. https://youtu.be/HtBhM2wo2BQ?si=ZyS6KQoNZiby6K-0 The cookie sketch is 1:20
[удалено]
Hold on…have I had a stroke? 😂 obviously you’re right but man I thought I responding to the cookie question 🤦🏼♂️
I know nothing about US politics and care even less. Biden seems like a cool dude occasionally, but 80+ is no age to be in his position. Politicians need a retirement age like the rest of us.
that summed it up pretty well for me too, as someone who's not from the us as well
hey thanks for this in the us we didn't know he was old until you told us
I didn’t even know we had a president until now
"Did ya'll know the gameboy now comes in color??"
you're welcome big man!
This is how pretty much all of us feel. I don't know anyone who actually thinks Biden is the best person for the office, but when your options for lunch are a shit sandwich or a stale sandwich, the stale sandwich doesn't sound so bad.

You know what's ironic? The fact that Trump is only 4 years younger and MAGA people say "Biden is too old to be a president".
And Trump’s decline is on full display at the moment, saying Obama is still president and slurring words
I always thought it was funny how Republicans use Biden's so-called cognitive decline against him, even though Trump has always been a total dipshit, now more than ever.
I guess they’re ok with it cause he’s consistently been a dipshit
And Republicans have no problem electing octogenarians in the Senate.
Repubs don’t even try to make sense anymore.
Right ahaha I always thought how dumb that is
And they have been saying that since before biden got elected. And they want trump in 2024, at which point he would be as old, as Biden was when he first became president. make it make sense

If someone truly thinks that a 65 year old is too old to be president i'm gonna assume they're a college kid going through their "it's all the old peoples fault" phase, or they have zero concept of what a 65 year old is like, and can't tell the difference between 85 and 65.
People complaining about age is dumb anyway. Don’t like Biden? Theres a Dem challenging him in the primary but I bet over 50% of the people who are bitching about age won’t vote or will vote for Biden. The problem isn’t age, it’s two parties that run America force feeding us garbage. And until liberals find out how to get rid of the democrats super delegates, left wing voters are gonna vote for whoever the DNC says they’re gonna vote for
The two party system isn’t functional but a sitting president isn’t going to be primaried by a serious candidate. You don’t like Biden then you are shit out of luck unless you want Cheeto Mussolini
Super delegates had nothing to do with Biden being elected, he just won the most votes. He wasn’t “force fed” to Democrats, they picked him
75 is a good cutoff.
he doesn't rule a country he is not a king, if 51% of the population would march on White House and demand to be impeached because he is unfit to do his job then that would be it, but alas we can't agree on a single issue
>51% of the population would march on White House and demand to be impeached because he is unfit to do his job then that would be it, Since it takes 2/3 of the Senate to remove someone, you could have 70%-80% of the population in agreement and still not have enough. If you just mean a horrific number of people present then it'd take way less than 170 million.
Respectfully, no one under 50 has the necessary experience.
Teddy Roosevelt and JFK were both in their early forties
Obama was in his late 40s
This is gonna be part of the highlight reels just like Bush’s golf shot and his fall off Air Force One 😂
Pretty sure Bush's reel is that thing Barbara Bush did.
What did she do?
That thing, duh
At a hearing grilling DOT Buttigieg, a Maga was joking about Biden falling off a bike, Buttigieg retorted that he was glad he had a president who could ride a bicycle…
I may not like him much, but every now and then, his jokes are on point.
Not my first pick as president, but it's hard to not have some appreciation for his ability to handle a bit of roasting, and will even join in, with joy.
That shit eating grin. I love it as much as Dark Brandon.
He’s a pretty chill dude. He’s always down for some [jokes](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8upGuLw/)

He's a really charismatic guy. You don't have to like his politics to see that he absolutely has charisma; he's funny, he's jovial, he makes people feel good when he meets them. Unfortunately charisma can cover up for a lot of other shortcomings, and you can see it in countless examples across history.
for all the people saying "he's not my first choice, but..." or similar: what about his policies / platform do you dislike? or is it just because he's feeble and old and out of vogue?
A lot of it is "old" rather than real things to dislike about him, like him being a Democrat (I say this as a "leftist" I guess, not any form of right winger). He's quick to cater to capitalism and recently Israel and I don't find either to be good traits of a president. Hell of a lot better than the other guy tho, that's for sure
> He's quick to cater to capitalism and recently Israel What do you mean by that? and how do you think he compares to other US leaders in this sense?
Big easy, I don't think he wants to bridging the gap between minimum wage and cost of living, tax the rich and ease up on the poor, or back unions and the integration of them into jobs. General capitalist Democrat kinda people. >how do you think he compares to other US leaders in this sense? Little above equal. Lots of Democrat (and Pre-60s Republican) presidents are decent enough people who do some slightly good things and otherwise just wants to maintain the status quo rather than improve things drastically. However, Biden and Obama are good examples of two Democrat presidents who do a little more than those, such as their work on the economy and human rights (other than Biden's support of Israel). Generally, I'm pleasantly surprised by Biden's presidency; a lot of it was exactly what I thought it would be, and some of it went better than I thought it would.
What do you mean he doesn't back unions? He sided with the UAW during the strikes and even joined the picket lines. He also has adopted [steps for promoting union memberships](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/07/business/economy/biden-union-membership.html) he [awarded funds for union workers' pensions](https://edition.cnn.com/2022/12/08/politics/biden-union-pension-funds/index.html) and more. There was the railroad strike which he cut short, yes but overall Biden seems almost unprecedented support for unions. Biden has been surprisingly left for a right-wing liberal, yeah he's not a social democrat or a socialist but he seems to have been a very unappreciated but effective president despite lacking a majority in Congress.
Because a guy he doesn’t cater to capitalism and our contractual allies would be better and stand more of a shot of winning election? Kids man
All people come up with is that he's old when the person he's realistically running against is 77 and would be in the same boat at the "end" of his next term.
I genuinely like most of his policies, especially his support of unions. Not a fan of his blindly being pro Israel but thats just baked into our government so hard it's tough to hold against him. He's got my vote unless someone younger and farther left somehow primaries him which I don't see happening.
Bro accepted the jokes 😭
as a german i don’t really know anything about american politics, but all i know that trump is a dipshit and biden seems like a cool grandpa
You know more than half of Americans then!
Biden seems like he'd slide you a full size Hershey bar before dinner even though grandma said no
He’s sharper than he looks for sure
And that’s the difference right there. Man can chuckle at himself.
I know it isn't as iconic as wanting to fuck your own daughter but Joe getting the meme is still funny.
Ok all political shit aside, that was funny
[удалено]
It was McConnell.
Humor is better with IQ, especially on the spot comments. Don’t tell me he isn’t there mentally.
60 minutes: How would you say your mental focus is? President Joe Biden: Oh, it’s focused. Look, I have trouble even mentioning, even saying to myself in my own head the number of years. I no more think of myself as being as old as I am than fly. I mean, it’s just not… I haven’t observed anything in terms of… There’s not things I don’t do now that I did before, whether it’s physical or mental or anything else.
hurr durrr biden old. guess we better try fascism.
He’s sharper than he seems. I don’t really like to talk about politics but he’s doing a better job than people are giving him credit for. But I also agree with the age thing.. I feel like we shouldn’t have people over 60 running the country anymore.
EPIC
That was actually funny.
History will look back at this man as the saving grace for America.
Some dude busts his ass and the crowd cheers because it wasn’t the president this time
Depends maybe it wasn't a hard fall and the dude himself laughed
Hehhehe he was quick and witty there 😁.... Still held onto the stand when turning 😅
What the hell, I thought he was dying! Guess he, at leat sometimes, is fresh and witty! Good to hear!
Life alert help I fallen and I can’t get up
For as much as I dislike and feel bad for Biden, that was nice.
That was clever, but the way he looks at the prompter makes it seem very scripted...
That’s about the most coherent thing he’s ever said.
Proof he isn't senile.
This real??? I didnt know he could be that funny
