He sounded horrible through the whole interview. My grandaunt who was his age sounded more coherent on the phone than he does now.

My dad is 84 and Biden makes him look 50.

I just want to hear Biden talk about McGruff the Crime Dog, like my grandaunt once did out of the blue. She just started talking about an anti bullying PSA she saw. That would make any appearance he makes on Meet the Press more bearable to watch.

Here is the commercial she was talking about for context:

"You hadda see how he saved Wendell from the bullies, Jack. McCain the Crime Bill didn't need no pool chain, no rusty razor, no nothin. That's way different than how I dealt with Corn Pop."

McCain the Crime Bill

Haha. I heard him say that in head.

okay I changed it. I had found the poast . org link on that same list of instances you link.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nitter is working again? I thought it was 100% dead other than Poast.

[–] sovietknuckles@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Most of the remaining ones have bot protection like captchas or CloudFlare DDoS protection. Activity on the Nitter repo has ceased on the master branch but still has maintenance updates on the guest_accounts branch. xcancel.com runs on a fork, https://github.com/unixfox/nitter-fork, which includes a few trivial fixes on top of the guest_accounts Nitter branch.

With a script to the softest of softball interviewers Tired Old Joe can't do it. I can get the ball over the uprights for a homerun! I ain't licked yet!

I know voices can sound like shit over the phone but I got the sense he was on speaker phone so he had minders. He hard to understand even considering how hard it is to typically understand him. He sounded like death warmed over. How many days will it be until he has a "bad day" like the debate. My bet is ~14 from today.

This is reminiscent of when Trump used to call in to Fox News.

Absolutely. Morning Joe is his cheering section. In my mind's eye I see him actually saying out loud to his aides in his slurry way "Doyahink Morning Joe 'ill like it?"

Someone didn’t get the memo about Joe’s 8 am start requirement.

The real question is how many times was Mika interrupted by her husband?

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Biden truly loves that sort of traditional stuff. Mrs. Joe needs to know who wears the pants, jack!

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, where's the gaffe? Is he not just reading quotes that he disagrees with?

[–] dead@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You're right. When he says that he's reading from a list of lies, he's referring to a list of trump quotes from the debate. However you can also hear him shuffling the papers loudly. I am inclined to believe that there is more notes or a script written down that he's reading from.

The gaffes are not limited to the twitter clip. I included the screenshot of a tweet as the main post because it's more eye catching. When a hexbear post links directly to an article or a youtube video, not as many people pay attention to it. This post is meant to be about the entire 20 minute call in.

Like at the start of the interview, he says that he won the democratic primary and therefore deserves the nomination. This is bullshit because he ran uncontested and many states did not even list any alternative candidates. Also there was the uncommitted campaign where like over 10% of primary voters voted against him even though he was the only candidate running.

There's also a few moments in the interview where he jumbles his words and makes some screech noises. (05:36, 09:45, 11:35) This is what I meant by "glitched out".

He starts reading from the Trump quotes around 17:00 and you can hear him flipping through pages. This is significant because people have been making the point that he's not coherent when he not reading from a script or notes. During the debate, he had no notes and spoke complete nonsense. After the debate, he gave a speech from a teleprompter and sounded better than the debate. Bidenists use moments where he reads from a script as evidence that he has cognitive ability, but when he's not reading from something he speaks in nonsense.

Besides the gaffe moments, he's also been shifting his messaging towards being a warmonger. He brags about expanding NATO and talks about expansion into the Pacific, targeting China.

The gaffe is throughout the whole interview. I recommend watching the whole video.

// Also calling in to the morning news to try to shift public opinion is a gaffe in itself. It is something that Trump did many times during his presidency and people made fun of him for that. Biden is taking on another trait of Trump. He got an orange spray tan after the debate. He has his fail son at the white house giving him advice. He's doing Trump's border policy. Now he's calling in to morning news shows to correct the record, so to say.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Ah, now it makes sense. Reading talking points off a paper isn't that bad but those other gaffes are just the cherry on top of the sundowning pie.

why dont they ai him if he's calling in

[–] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago
