      I do feel like the press is making a huge deal out of him misspeaking when dude is still incumbent and functioning as the same ol’ boring ass president he has always been.

        I don’t disagree that individual incidents mean very little, especially considering Biden’s long history of gaffes and the fact that he is an 80 year old man and one cannot expect him to be as spry as a spring chicken…

        But Democratic Congressmembers have asked him to stand down as presumptive nominee. There is clearly a lack of confidence in his ability to continue - you don’t make public statements like that unless private channels have been exhausted and things are well and truly fucked.

        Inflation was at zero last month and is actually negative this month, and we have had record job growth for several years. And those are just two of many amazing statistics we have been enjoying during his administration.

        He’s been a great president. And I’d like him to continue.
