Trump just RT'd post referring to Biden gaffe that was corrected by Biden IMMEDIATELY

Trump was retweeting his own tweet from June 27th:





Corrupt Joe Biden said yesterday that we have over “120 million” people dead of Coronavirus!



What Trump leaves out is that Biden corrected that to "120 thousand" a split second later. He'd just misspoken, as Trump has misspoken many times.

Trump and other Rethugs have kept circulating this lie, with or without heavily edited video cutting off before Biden corrected himself.

If you see this where you post on social media, PLEASE correct it. This seems to have become a favorite of RWers.

Having a former VP of a very successful administration, thoroughly vetted and aware of his scumbag opponent's tactics is comforting.

Corrupt because that is what Trump is.

That won't play well either.


What Biden has going for him that Hillary Clinton didn't is that he is a White man. The right wing has not spent 30+ years demonizing him like they did Hillary Clinton.

Also, the consensus in Washington is that everyone likes and respects Biden as a human being. He is genuinely seen as a good guy, even if you disagree about politics and policy. The Graham ad by the one Republican group says it all, "If you don't like Joe Biden, there is something wrong with you."

It is an easy mistake to make. Like when a parent calls one kid by the other's name.


Biden has had a life long stutter too, but still speaks more coherently than the idiot Trump.

What are your goals for the next 4 years if you win re-election?

"Experience, that's a good word I've always said talent is better but .... I've never slept over in Washington I've been there like 17 times but now I know everybody...Like that time Melania and I were riding down Pennsylvania Ave, that was nice."

WTF. Answer the question idiot.

"In the next 4 years I would like to complete my wall." "I would like to put more judges into office to uphold....."

Those are goals, not some stupid rambling story about "experience" and the inauguration.

If Trump wants to go there, there are thousands of examples of him speaking incoherently, not just stumbling over a phrase and correcting himself like Biden did.

Injecting solvents anyone?

Maybe it will be 120 million deaths directly from COVID-19 and complications from it in the next few years, including any mutation that developed from Donald Dumbass being in charge of spreading it further.

Why else would Donald Dumbass do the opposite of everything doctors and scientists say?
