'There's a lot of reason to be hopeful in 2020': Biden gets the YEAR wrong during COVID briefing | Daily Mail Online

With a midterm election in 2022 shaping up to be a tough hill to climb for his Democratic Party, President Joe Biden was perhaps recalling fonder times when he mistakenly claimed it was 2020 on Tuesday.
Biden, 79, was speaking from the White House during a briefing on the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The oldest president ever elected was saying that a lot of good could happen in the coming year but that people would have to get vaccinated against the virus.
'There's a lot of reason to be hopeful in 2020. But for God's sake, please take advantage of what is available,' the president said. With 2022 just four days old, the president could be forgiven for getting the year wrong - but most people who do the same usually give the year before, and not the one two years prior.
Biden has been prone to gaffes and misspeaking throughout his decades-long political career. He has multiple times referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as 'President Harris'.

However, some polling and Biden's opponents have suggested that gaffes like these are a sign of his decline as he heads into his ninth decade of life.
Biden is America's oldest-ever president and even when running in 2020, former President Trump referred to Biden as 'mentally shot.
Last month, Biden mistakenly referred to Kamala Harris, his vice president, as 'President Harris' — repeating an error he made twice before.
Biden has said he will run for a second term in 2024, when he will be 82 years old.
Biden says he plans to run for a second term in 2024, but many Democrats don't believe it and polls find broad concern about his mental acuity.
Biden would be 86 if he completes a second term.
A recent Politico/Morning Consult poll said that 50 percent of registered voters disagreed with the following statement: 'Joe Biden is in good health.'
That same poll found 48 percent disagreed with the statement: 'Joe Biden is mentally fit.'
A Harvard-Harris poll found that 53 percent of voters have doubts about Biden's fitness for office, while 58 percent said he was too old to be president.

In a nutshell............
And the hits just keep on coming..........of his own volition
If he makes it to 2024, he can run again, but the democrats know that would be certain doom. He will be challenged....and not just mentally.
I got an Air Tag for Christmas. I put it on my keys - just in case. This guy needs the Gaffe Gadget.
Biden accidentally confused two very different pandemic years? Instead of incessantly prattling about vaccines that enrich Big Pharma's pockets, he needs to release the highly effective and inexpensive monoclonal antibody meds and other therapeutics that he is deliberately withholding from states.
He isn't withholding anything and those monoclonal antibody meds, etc., are very expensive.
Not necessarily.
And that's only the tip of the scientific data about therapeutics. I didn't bother to post how inexpensive and effective therapeutic pills/tablets are.
The best thing to do is to get vaccinated and get boosters when it's time. Rather than having to deal with monoclonal antibody meds., etc., AFTER THE FACT.
Tell that to General Lloyd Austin, current US Secretary of Defense. He's fully vaccinated and boosted, always wore a "mask", and even wore a ridiculous plastic face shield for further protection. He's currently quarantined with Covid-19.
It's time for everyone to understand that a virulent virus cannot be defeated and killed.
And? But he's not hospitalized and deathly ill, is he? Proof that the vaccines and boosters work.
You'll have to give me more than a one word question. Please elaborate so I can understand what you are trying to ask me. Thank you.
Oh ... you added more ...
No one has ever said that vaccines and boosters do not work, Tessy. However, Candidate and President Biden emphatically stated and promised that he would rid us of Covid-19. He failed.
Try again and plus I wouldn't go to you or seek your advice on anything.
You need to stop moving the goal posts. So you agree that the vaccines and boosters do work and are better than having to get treated after the fact.
If you don't want my input/advice, I suggest that you refrain from asking me questions on multiple seeds and articles. I'm very willing to help anyone who asks for help, and by your asking me so many questions, I assumed that you wanted me to answer them.
I sincerely wish you and yours a very happy and healthy 2022, Tessy.

As I said in comment 5.1.5 ...
The End.

Have any of the vaccine manufacturers claimed their vaccines were 100% effective? If not then pointing at the handful of Covid infected who did get vaccinated as if its some sort of evidence that we shouldn't bother getting vaccinated is beyond stupid, it's borderline insane.
Not to my knowledge.
I have no idea how anyone could have possibly extrapolated that my comment 5.1 was an indication that "we shouldn't bother getting vaccinated". How droll!
Says the person who insists on getting the last word.
Big pharma would like to thank you for pushing their "vaccines" that do not stop you from getting Covid, do not prevent you from transmitting Covid, and only may lower the effects of getting Covid. "Vaccines" that suffer more and more break through cases with each new variation of Covid.
Keep getting the shots, and boosters, the time between which will continue to decrease- and the effectiveness will continue to diminish. Big Pharma is telling the White House to make you.
He mispronounced a word? Impeach him now!
At least we know what he was trying to say unlike his predecessor. I'm still not sure what dishonest Donald was trying to say when he said "Despite the constant negative press covfefe"...
Or “I have a great relationship with the blacks.”
“Coverage?”
People don’t want to get it. They want to pretend he did something completely inconceivable and outrageous, when what he actually did was pretty ordinary. Standard procedure.
Like misstating the year? I think I've typed 2021 instead of 2022 when typing up docs at least a handful of times in just the last few days but from the way conservatives reacted to Biden getting the year wrong you'd think it was some definitive proof he should be committed.
And besides, 'covfefe' sounds nothing like 'coverage' unless the person speaking is having a mild stroke.
Biden is verbally eviscerating Trump and his supporters on tv at this moment. Can you imagine Trump ever putting together a speech as poignant and eloquent as this?
If he had Biden's speech writer and read it off of a teleprompter like he is, sure. He himself, Mr. Biden, put together jack shit. Once again someone else is pulling the strings. Period. Just like every speech of every PotUS in the last 60 years
And it was, or could have been, talk to text input. My spell check or lack thereof does shit like that all the time.
So it’s fine that the leader of the free world is firing off embarrassing badly written statements on the world’s stage without even looking at them or having them reviewed by someone with actual grammar skills. Got it.
Trump CHOOSES to look as stupid as he does. Biden makes smarter choices. Glad we cleared that up.
He does? I needed a laugh this morning!
Biden does what he's fucking told Period.
So he is supposed to have someone with him at all times to look at his phone after he writes a tweet prior to sending it? Neat. But he could think for himself. Mr. Biden, not so much it seems with great evidence to prove it. Why the hell do you think they keep him away from questioning after practically every damned presser he holds?
Biden does what he's fucking told Period.
I can’t think of a more ironic thing for a contemporary Republican to say. More sad than funny, but entertaining nonetheless.
So he is supposed to have someone with him at all times to look at his phone after he writes a tweet prior to sending it?
Lol - in a word, yes. He had the biggest microphone on the planet. The fact that he took it so callously and that you are fine with that speaks volumes. That is precisely how he got infamous for the thousands of blatant lies he professed over twitter until they had enough and told him that’s not the way that their platform is to be used.
It does if you consider the first three letter. And the context makes sense.
But what it sounds like is irrelevant because it was typed in a tweet - I’m guessing big fingers on a small phone, so mistakes are more common. So maybe find out what you’re talking about before commenting.
And now he’s about to open up to us all a new platform that will liberate us from the content control and censorship of big tech social media and their freaking idiot obviously biased “fact checkers”
