I wonder who Biden despises more in his few remaining lucid moments, Harris or Trump voters?

So damn dumb. Biden was answering a question about hateful rhetoric at Trump’s rally and went full “hold my beer.”

Biden delivers the narrative change MAGA was dying for right as Harris delivers her closing message speech.

Here’s the thing — I don’t think he intended to say it, and I think the context proves that, and even if it weren’t clear, he provided clarification very quickly thereafter.

BUT however obvious that seems to me or anyone else, it is also obvious that (a) the Trump campaign and their enablers in right wing media are seizing it as a get out of jail free card opportunity and (b) the mainstream media is also treating it as a major gaffe by Biden.

Hopefully, the truth of it becomes obvious to most potential Harris voters and this fades after another news cycle. But even then damage has been done — undermining the positive news cycle and just basic coverage of Kamala’s closing argument at the Ellipse first and foremost, but also altering the Trump MSG news cycles and creating an opportunity for Both Sides equivocation by swing voters.

Damned frustrating unforced error.

If we want to compare what Joe said against what Hillary said…8 years has proven…she wasn’t wrong.

It was pretty clear then that she wasn’t wrong, even if “basket of deplorables” was an awkward and curious turn of phrase. And she intended to say what was said, just like Obama intended to say what he said about clinging to guns and religion and Romney intended to say what he said about the 47%. All those are called gaffes, but they were all intentional statements, clearly articulated, by the actual candidate.

OTOH, Joe clearly stumbled all over his words there and was apparently trying to reframe calling Puerto Ricans “garbage” as the actual garbage behavior, but he blew it. His was a genuine gaffe (and the second one in the last week given his “lock him up” slip recently).

But unlike those other “gaffes” by HRC, Mitt and Obama, Joe isn’t the candidate. Hopefully enough of the voting public gets the distinction and writes it off to “Thank God he isn’t running again”. But we’re in a race where Harris is being held to a zero gaffe tolerance policy by the media and Trump was actually getting serious negative attention (for something he didn’t personally say, which somehow evaded Trump’s diplomatic immunity for all the crazy shit he says every time he gets in front of a microphone), so Joe providing a distraction when Trump’s team was flailing is at best terribly unhelpful at about the worst possible moment.
 
Y’all have really got to stop living and dying tweet by tweet. There is not one single vote that Trump will add because of whatever Joe Biden said, and there’s not one single vote that Harris will lose because of whatever Joe Biden said.

I’m sure it was a typical Biden word salad verbal gaffe, but I could not possibly care less if it wasn’t. He would be absolutely correct, just like Hillary Clinton was absolutely correct: Trump supporters are garbage and they are deplorables. Also, they are the OG “fuck your feelings, snowflake” crowd so they can absolutely miss me with all of this whining and crying about being labeled as garbage or deplorable. These dumb motherfuckers wear their support proudly for a convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser, serial adulterer, foreign dictator-worshiping, U.S military-hating sack of shit who has repeatedly called America “a giant garbage can” and half of its people “the enemy within” over the last couple of days. They are garbage, they are deplorable, and they can quite literally go fuck themselves while playing in traffic.

Y’all have got to stop panicking about this kind of stuff or you’re never going to make it until next Tuesday.

Agree it’s a missed opportunity, Rogan would likely be fair to her and it’s essentially a free ad that’ll reach millions

What bullshit. That arrogant SOB expects a presidential candidate to come to him in the last week of the campaign and give him the amount of time he wants. He needs to get over himself.

That's the same BS the Times tried to pull with Biden and Rogan ain't them. There's not a chance in hell that either going on the show and , more particularly, seeming to be at some ass's beck and call, would be worth it. It isn't free to take that much time out of her schedule in a critical stage like this and appeasing an audience like this is likely counterproductive with the supporters she has.
 
The country needs the election to be over. In the past 48 hours, the focus on what a comedian said and what the president said shows that folks have run out of things to talk about.
