robotoBiden introduces Zelenskiy as ‘President Putin’ at Nato summit
MeldrikIt’s like saying the wrong name at your wedding 😂
Classic Ross.
WE WERE ON A BREAK!!!
MY SANDWICH!!!
That’s a line demanding an interrobang if there ever was one.
Welp that’s it folks. He can’t win and if he steps down all of the free world’s hopes are on the shoulders of a “tough on crime” one-term senator who couldn’t even make it to Iowa when she ran for the nomination.
Maybe. I have definitely done that. But the pattern is not good if this keeps happening.
Or you could be positive, talk to the people who have doubts about the parties general platform, what Biden stands for, and the initiatives that Kamala has embraced and run while vice president as well as her tempering her views on crime as she grew into the role of vice president.
And just to be sure, ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about how one should properly motivate the people in your life to be more politically active than voting every 4 years.

Even a broken clock generates one single lasting golden meme during its presidency
Track_ShovelDuring Premier Trump’s reign, on Reddit, that picture preview always pointed the way to the most roaring political dumpster fires.
WDYM what now? Him being geriatric isn’t new nor does it change anything.
Beaver [she/her]Zelensky would brush it off.
He did.
“I’m better” -zelensky
Zelelsky is originally a comedian. I feel like that’s been glosssed over by his amazing job as political leader. But 10 years ago he was just a comedian on Ukraine TV not assosiated with politics.
Sterile_TechniqueThe only world leader with footage of him playing piano with his penis on stage in front of a live audience.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy 2016 Playing Piano with Penis
DudeImMacGyverLove this guy!
FuglyDuckStill doesn’t deserve to have that happen. And of course he brushed it off. Ukraine is relying on western support for its very survival. Zelenskyy can’t afford to lose that support.
Still, gotta sting for being confused with that particular asshole.
“Vice President Trump”
The funny thing is that Biden’s had gaffes like this his whole career and could have laughed it off under other circumstances, but with the eyes of the entire world on him watching for him to have another senior moment this is another nail in the coffin.
Usually the old guy is the one INSIDE the coffin. Not the one nailing it shut…
Comedy is hard, better luck next time!
Combined with his constant look of intense confusion, it seems like a lot more than senior moments.
It’s a long moment
girlfreddyTrump at a rally this week: “Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing & hosp–lee. We will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms, screaming, ‘What can I do? Help me God, what can I do?’ We are a nation whose once revered airports are a dirty, crowded mess.”
Has any media covered that word vomit?
theneverfoxPost a link… I believe you because that certainly sounds like Trump, but a transcript/video would really help it sink in

Trump Fumbles Repeatedly in Terrifying Speech at Florida Rally - Lemmy.World
>“We will institute the powerful death penalty for drug dealers, where each dealer is responsible for the death, during their lives, of 500 people or more,” he said. >"Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing in hosp … and we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms screaming, ‘What can I do, what can I do? Help me God, what can I do?’ We are a nation whose once revered airports are a dirty, crowded mess,” Trump continued, pivoting suddenly. >“You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won’t leave, that they have no idea when they will. Where ticket prices have tripled. They don’t have the pilots to fly the planes, they don’t seek qualified air traffic controllers, and they just don’t know what the hell they are doing.” >“We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C., and clean it up, renovate it, and rebuild our capital city, so that it is no longer a nightmare of murder and crime. But rather it will become the most beautiful capital anywhere in the world,” Trump said. >“Right now, if you leave Florida, ‘Oh, let’s go, darling, let’s look at the Jefferson Memorial, let’s look at the Washington Monument, let’s go and look at some of the beautiful scenes,’ and you end up getting shot, mugged, raped,” he warned, promising that he’d run the city “tough and smart.” Watch Here: https://x.com/atrupar/status/1810853096609694084 [https://x.com/atrupar/status/1810853096609694084] https://x.com/atrupar/status/1810842300961956147 [https://x.com/atrupar/status/1810842300961956147]
Trump’s brain is also absolutely cooked. He just doesn’t look as confused as Biden I think that helps him. Plus that his voters don’t care about facts, I’m guessing they might have actually had some bleach.
HubiNo, because with Trump it has been normalized for years and his base couldn’t care less about these things.
I saw that clip. Actually deranged.
harkBiden has been dogshit in general for his entire career. Not sure why the party pushed so hard for him in 2020.
He was just asked about his confidence in Kamala to be able to beat Trump, should he be succeeded… and he referred to Trump as his VP and then meandered into some vague talking points.
Caught that too, was rough to watch.
If I were a Trump supporter, I’d be making a meme of Trump as Bob Page from the DX intro bemoaning ‘old men’ playing at running the world.
See, it wouldn’t click with the MAGA crowd that Page is the bad guy, so they would think it was funny.
Well I guess all I can say is what a shame.
Oh my god…I thought /u/[email protected] was joking. Biden really said trump as his VP??? God damn this is not a good look…
I wish I was kidding too.
It’s a unity ticket.
Who’s “not progressive enough” now, lefties?
Not as bad as Trump being P
I thought you were trolling, like in a “you have to double check if I’m bullshitting you now” kind of way. But it’s actually true… and unlike his Putin remark he didn’t seem to even notice he said it.
Its only been getting worse as this post conference pressser has gone on.
He has forgotten entirely to respond to parts of a multipart question, meandered into basically ‘I sat down with Golda Meir and Yitsak Rabin and we accomplished peace!’, just keeps repeating things he did (some of which are legitimate accomplishments) that have little to do with other questions asked…
… “You said your presidency would be a bridge to younger candidates, what happened to that?”
Rambles about being in the Senate a really long time
… at one point actually said, outloud, ‘How do I not make this seem self centered?’ before answering a ‘Considering the stakes, do you really think you should run?’ type of question.
In the time I have been typing this he has basically barked in anger after a short response to a question that was followed by the reporter asking ‘thats all?’.
He also keeps doing the sort of asshole loud whisper sarcasm voice.
He is coming off as a sundowning angry old man who doesn’t want his car keys taken away.
Yes and it’s really getting to the point where it undoubtedly impact his ability to perform without an aide basically at his side at all times. Imagine him telling another world leader something insane and the translater having to jump in correct him. Or worse, how can you be sure something he did mean to say was actually something he meant to say and not just another mistake? That kind of communication failure is very dangerous at the highest level.
Man, imagine being the White House translator the next four years. Whoever wins, you’ll be stuck there looking apologetically at the guests going “sorry dude, IDK either”.
CryptagionismisogynistYes, I spoke with someone earlier today about how communication is VITAL to being president. If he can’t communicate, he can’t do his job.
Yes, his emotional regulation is pretty bad now too. He was always a seemingly calm, nice old man and now he’s gotten petty, blames his staff for errors (very unlike him), and in general is acting really off.
I mean… it was pretty bad but also clearly a slip of tongue as it didn’t confuse the sentence or message - not great though , fuck the DNC
Yes, I think the people here claiming Biden is as sharp now as 4 years ago, that he’s always made these “gaffes,” must either 1) not have watched him actually make these errors to see how bad they were 2) do not remember how sharp he was comparatively 4 years ago amd/or 3) have never been around someone with cognitive decline and don’t recognize how serious it is.
And the Putin remark - he caught himself, but still couldn’t remember Zelensky’s name. And he’s merely Zelenksy a few times, he should know him.
I’d be more concerned if Biden stopped making gaffes, that would be out of character
OpenStarsDid you see the debate? He stopped saying much of anything then, for really long periods of time…
Not as bad as the turtle.
Mitch McConnell?
talI made the same mistake in a comment on here in the past couple months. Kind of mentally linked, those two.
is this good for the Biden campaign guys someone let me know i can’t tell
Damn, I sort of feel like saying “Thank fuck he isn’t president of MY country”, but then I remember how even my local covidiots felt validated by the giant cheese puff, and how Trump is offering carte blanche to companies, for them to pillage and destroy the living conditions of the whole world.
All I can do is shake my head, hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
maegul (he/they)I saw someone put it well on mastodon:
Non-Americans care about US elections for the same reason a hostage cares about the mental state of a gunman.

A saddening phenomenon that’s likely to happen if this continues … is people opening up about how they saw the decline way before the debate but presumed it was a “one off” or “bad night”. I think it’s already started somewhat.
But the picture that could emerge with pretty high clarity is that “the issue” was covered by an inner group and ignored by those peripherally exposed to it … all instead of the party preparing for it, preparing new potential candidates, and taking seriously the notion from Biden in 2020 that he wouldn’t run in 2024.
Losing to Trump a second time by sticking to a party elder is going to be a big deal (if it happens of course). It will probably look more like the Dems losing than trump winning, and it prob will look like the Dems allowing it all to happen out of hubris and stupidity, not unlike the RBG fuck up. Could seriously shake the party up?
