I do believe that is what Biden is doing. I do the same thing these days. I'll even sometimes tell the person I'm talking to, if they stare blankly at me, to please give me a minute. I have to think.
If Biden said something like that the press and the other side would probably jump on him like a fly on honey.
It's probably my age but I think people talk very fast these days. Joy Reid and Chris Hayes especially. Chris talks so fast he smashes words together then starts to stutter. I know they have a certain amount of time. They'd have more time if they just slowed down.

Holly Gail, I hate to be a pain but I still don't know specifically why you and so many other women don't like Hillary. Besides the fact that she's no angel.
Male politicians aren't that angelic either so I'm wondering if this might be about "boys will be boys" but girls better be perfect.
There are no perfect people. I'm sure Mother Teresa wasn't perfect either.

birdgal, I think a lot of men, and some women, find a strong, intelligent, competent woman threatening.

I'm no shrink but apparently they have some kind of mental problem.
There will always be someone smarter than you, better looking than you, stronger and more wealthy than you.
You can learn from them or resent them, but you are not better or worse than them because of your sex.
If you perceive them as a threat you are the one with a problem. They are simply being who they are.
You might want to try being who you are.

My mother didn't like Hillary either. I have no idea why. However she hated Trump more. I'm pretty sure she voted Hillary in 2016.

my MIL is anti-hillary. she says it has something to do with the charity she ran but i have no idea of what she means beyond that nor did i care to engage. she claims to be progressive but i can tell she's not. she's smack dab in center mode. my ex (her son) and i roll our eyes frequently at things my MIL says trying to appear more progressive than she is because it sounds like the right place to be these days and then on the flip side will say something that literally makes us want to say "ok boomer". if my mom didn't know her and didn't have to be civil, i'm sure my boomer generation mom would have lots to say to her that would challenge her beliefs!
my ex wasn't keen on hillary either because he wanted bernie who he sees as less moderate and willing to challenge the status quo. he would've been more on hillary's side if she was less moderate and willing to break apart the establishment in order to build it back up in a way that was more fair and equitable to all americans. not saying that hillary doesn't want that too, but that her method of getting there would result in the same compromises the democrats have always had to make that doesn't get us the progress we know this country needs. female vs male doesn't matter to him.
in any case, i truly do believe women are better at running the show and so whoever biden picks for VP needs to be STRONG so we can get her in the WH come 2024.

Supposedly DT tweeted over the weekend that Hydroxychloroquine is being suppressed to push the death toll higher in order to wreck the economy.

I'm so tired of this fool and the media for bothering the public with his stupid tweets.
He's like a bored teenager looking for attention.
Would any other country put up with this kind of behavior? His one and only job was to keep Hillary out of the WH. Mission accomplished. We showed her a thing or two.
We'd rather have a male jerk than a brilliant women. Keep that in mind ladies. Lol.

He retweeted a Chuck Woolery "covid is fake" one a while back, then Woolery came out a few days later saying covid is real and his son has it. Naturally DT didn't re-tweet that! (but of course a game show host and fake doctors know more than real medical professionals).

DT is a nutbag. we want people to die to make him and the economy look bad. he is the king of projection. he would like the death toll to rise by foolishly opening up the economy prematurely so of course in his mind people would want death tolls to rise for the opposite reason.

Now this is just stupid. I guess Trump is so jealous of Dr. Fauci that he has to make up a story about throwing out the first pitch at a Yankees game.

what a fucking asshole! “Because of my strong focus on the China Virus, including scheduled meetings on Vaccines, our economy and much else, I won’t be able to be in New York to throw out the opening pitch for the @yankees on August 15,” Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter on Sunday, using a racist name for the coronavirus. “We will make it later in the season!” hilarious though that he invited himself for that date and then cancelled his own uninvited and unconfirmed date. what a tool. how anyone can support this person and not feel absolutely mortified with embarrassment is beyond me.

They are certifiably crazy and need to be locked up. i.e. Democrats are pedophiles, Satanists, cannibals, human traffickers, etc. They really believe it.
