Watching Biden... I'm slightly confused...

Confused by the fact that I am listening to a man speaking logically, in sentences on a central theme.
Like it's almost weird...how fucked up is that!?!?

Frankly, it's calming and makes me as hopeful as ever that when he's elected we can get this shitshow back on track!

That's how we define "presidential" now, isn't it?

Then it was like a healing balm or salve soaking into every pore.

Trump is toxic. Biden is tonic.

You will once again be OK with listening to people who speak logically.

She was a dog with a bone, trying to make a point that because Biden said he didn’t trust Trump that he, Biden, was causing the American people to distrust any vaccine. Even after Biden went through the criteria for approving a vaccine that could be trusted, she kept coming back to trying to blame Biden for distrust in a vaccine because he does not trust Trump. Does anyone know who she works for?

which is backfiring badly on the asshole who bragged about remembering person, woman, man, camera, tv.

Maybe I can go back to more long winded discussions about truly important issues instead of dealing with a lying narcissist and all the oddities that go along with that. Minor inflections of government funded healthcare and such.

Better yet, I can stop spending my life on the interwebs & news etc. and go back to reading books, gardening, and all the more pleasurable things in life.

and he doesn't lie whenever his mouth is open. What a contrast with the orange buffoon.

He doesn't have the mental acuity to go off on rambling tangents, or publicly speculate about whether injecting lysol might cure diseases.

He's not even sharp enough to brag about answering very hard questions posed by the neurologist like "which drawing is an elephant"?

Clearly demented.

Yes he reads prepared statements well. But when he veers off script, unlike the buffoon, he cites facts, statistics & details clearly and well. He is near "gaffe-free." I respect him so much more than I thought I would. Can't wait to see him destroy T on Sept. 29.
