"It's hard to tell, but he is clearly losing the war in Iraq, he's losing the war at home, and he has become a bit of a pariah around the world. And it's not just NATO. It's not just the European Union. It's Japan. It's, you know, 40 nations," Biden said.

Biden was taking questions before flying to Chicago to deliver an address on "Bidenomics," which the White House has called "his vision for growing the economy from the middle-out and the bottom-up, not the top-down."
Biden's comments come less than a week after a brief rebellion in Russia saw the Wagner Group head toward Moscow after expressing discontent with Russian military leadership. Talks between Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin and Putin, brokered by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, led the private mercenary group to end the rebellion.

And the displays of incompetence continues.
Every time he opens his mouth he embarrasses himself and the country.
o to deliver an address on "Bidenomics,
Economic theory from a guy who can't complete full sentences. Should be fascinating.
Cut him some slack. He was thinking of where his son died................again.
Pretty apparent that the war in Ukraine has never been about Ukraine. Biden's attention is focused on toppling Vladimir Putin the same way Saddam Hussein was toppled. So, confusing Ukraine with Iraq ain't a gaff. Ukraine just isn't that important in Biden's mind.
To quote Niels Bohr, albeit on a different subject: "Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true."
Well, calling me an idiot won't change the fact that the United States is still stuck with Ukraine. Waving your hands, one liners, and memes won't make Ukraine go away. And toppling Putin won't allow Ukraine to be ignored.
Biden is telling us that winning requires removing Putin. Where does Ukraine fit in Biden's victory? Topple Putin, hold a parade, and forget about it seems like a moronic plan.

This about Brandon the Human Fuck Up Machine being mentally incompetent.
Try to keep up!
Time for moderate Democrats and centrists to jump off the Brandon express before he completely ruins this country and maybe the planet.
Do your fingers hurt from typing out that stupid nickname 200 times a day?
Keyboards wore out so they had to go to talk to text cuz they were tired of buying new ones...........................
That means he only types it once for each Brandon fuck up.
And exactly what does that have to do with Geriatric Joe confusing Iraq with Ukraine?
He said the same thing last night. Unsurprisingly, the pool reporter did not report it.
Biden also called the XI his new best friend, supposedly meant the Prime Minister of India.
I have speech aphasia and frequently when I am speaking the wrong word pops out. The right-wing seeders on this site make much of the President's gaffes but I think that they are mostly just that: Gaffes.
I'll bet you never accepted a mistaken phrase or word from Trump or Bush jr. as just a gaffe. For them to make an error was always evidence of their gross incompetence and their lack of fitness for office. When is is a democrat, it is, for you, just a meaningless gaffe.
Pardon me but your double standard is showing.
I do not have a double standard. I have mostly considered the statements and misstatements of whomever to be understandable mistakes. I am the last one to poke fun at someone for saying the wrong thing. Occasionally, I do hop on the derision bandwagon, but, for the most part, I understand what it is to say the wrong thing, especially in public settings, and how difficult it is for me, personally. This raises a certain degree of empathy in me for the speaker. That is for misstatements. For the truly clueless who stand behind their statements and double down, well, there is no empathetic response.
Sure you don't. Me thinks you protests too much
Go ahead and think what you want, what I said is true. It is a free country so have at it.
Brain damage? So I guess that's why he wears a helmet while falling off....errr riding his bicycle. Or has he had a stroke and just didn't know it......
Sorry for your condition...................
Thanks, but it was long ago. Eighth grade, to be precise. It affects only my speech, not my understanding, reading, or writing. I have to think about everything I say to the point where it gets fatiguing. If I have practiced what I am speaking about I usually do not screw up that badly. But off-the-cuff commentary and spoken debate you might just as well put me in the closet.
Biden focusing attention on Vladimir Putin is not a gaffe. It doesn't matter if the fighting is in Iraq or Ukraine; that's unimportant. Biden's war is all about Putin and not about Ukraine.
Names are especially fluid as you age. My father, brother, and I used to joke that my brother's name was my name, my father's name and the right name said in rapid succession, and so on for each of us. Not everyone can speak well. My mother could speak well. She was a teacher for 35 years, but she still got our names wrong, unless we were in trouble, then out she came with our full given names. Eeesh.
Those gaffes have an effect on all of us. It's hard to ignore when you have a POTUS call out for dead politicians, forget where his own kid died, reach to shake the hand of somebody who isn't there, can't put together a simple sentence and confuse Iraq for Ukraine. This isn't a one off thing. He's fucked up like this many times.
But you (and the rest of the left) keep defending Geriatric Joe and his administration of check the block incompetence. The rest of the country will call this out every time.
Sticks and stones.
You keep making it sound like the world is coming to an end. I believe the president has speech aphasia of a sort, and the right-wing commentators on here make him sound senile on every misstatement he makes. I have repeatedly gone to the clips of what he says and found, taken as a whole and in context, his actions or statements are not nearly as bad as they are purported to be.
So, have a good time yucking it up.
