Here it is.
First up: Biden wows a crowd with a war story. The only problem is that it didn't happen.
https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/As-he-campaigns-for-president-Joe-Biden-tells-a-14399372.php
Biden has used war stories to celebrate military sacrifice and attack Trump's version of patriotism, built around ferocity and firepower. The former vice president, like Trump, never served in the military. But Biden's son Beau Biden, who died of brain cancer in 2015, deployed to Iraq as an Army lawyer in 2008, and the candidate ends almost all of his speeches with the refrain: "May God protect our troops."
Pardon me for not being impressed that his son was in Iraq ... as a lawyer. That means his son went to fancy schools, then fancy universities, got a law degree, and then got a direct commission into the JAG Corps.

Can the server handle the extra load from starting this Biden gaffe thread? It's going to take a lot of resources given how large the thread will eventually get by the time the primaries roll around.

It's reported everyday so folks get used to it as normal.

So Biden is playing the same 4D chess that Trump does?

Mark Steyn does an excellent Biden re-enactment. Even dems should be able to laugh at this. :rofl:

Love me some Mark Steyn. I much prefer to listen to him than Limbaugh.

Agree.

Agreed. Steyn has a great sense of humor.
Rush is the same as he has always been. That is both a good thing and a bad thing. I have tried listening to this entire show when I was off and I usually get bored or tune it out. After over 30 years you would think callers would learn to just say dittos and get to their point.

After over 30 years, why would you think that?

As President, I will ban all magazines that hold multiple bullets!

So my flintlock would be safe as would my 1874 Sharps.
The Sharps is capable (I'm not) of accurately launching a 525 gr projectile out to a mile with lethal terminal energy.
I can cast my own bullets. I can make a useable black blackpowder. I'm only limited by primer availablity for the Sharps and other cartridge guns but I have a fairly good stock on hand.

Does he realize there are guns that can fire 6 or more rounds between reloads, and they have no magazine at all?

Sssshhh. Don't tell him.

Yes, but he'll be passing an EO that states you can only use them to fire through your front door.

I wonder if he told his wife to load that shotgun with 12-gauge bullets ...

Just because it's awesome.
(Also I'll steal the best comment I had read on the article: "Snopes rates this article as "Tricksy" and "False")
-
^^^From the article:
Biden seemed not to have a very strong recollection of the events, however, claiming that Harry Potter then flew in on a broom and took the ring in order to drop it in an exhaust port on the Death Star to stop the Borg.

I look forward to your "Biden accomplishment thread".
False equivalence is false.

I suppose it is possible that Biden - like Trump - could turn out to surprise me and do some good stuff but I wouldn't vote for the guy.
Can you explain the false equivalence? Granted, you were assigning the cunning to the reporting, not the gaffer. Is it then true that media reports on Trump's every gaffe to normalize it?

What narrative is spun about Trump's words?
What narrative have the press spun over the of decades of giving Biden the benefit of the doubt?
The press has spent three years with their hair on fire making *expletive deleted*it up and never giving Trump the benefit of the doubt, only ascribing the worst of motives to him.
What narrative is spun about Bidens words? He was still held in such high regard that he was their favorite to run against Trump.
When the press turns on Biden, and they might, it will become obvious just like the hatred of Trump is obvious. They will put him out to pasture nicely though, he was a good soldier.
I understand the discomfort you feel, having your bowtie all twisted up, by having Trump the propagandist leading the charge against the leftists.
It appears flyover country is tired of principled "conservatives" who conserve nothing except for their own pompous self regard while they lose and retreat in defeat under the boot of leftists.

So your big, deep, insight is that Trump is treated more negatively than Biden by the press? After a few microseconds of introspection and contemplation I'll have to agree with that.
As far as Biden being "their favorite", I completely disagree. He's not nearly left enough to be the favorite of the press. He is one of the most likely candidates to beat Trump, maybe, but they've treated other candidates much more delicately than Biden.
I've seen it suggested here and elsewhere that Trump intentionally keeps up the tempo of the ridiculous things he says in a cunning ploy to distract from the things he's actually accomplishing. The idea that Biden or people who support him might be similarly strategic (but nefariously!) with his own foot-in-mouth disease made me chuckle.
I understand the discomfort you feel, having your bowtie all twisted up, by having Trump the propagandist leading the charge against the leftists.
I have no problem with someone I don't like attacking someone else I don't like. I have a problem when people insist we all pretend that if Trump is mean to people we dislike then he has no faults, or that we must ignore whatever minor, insignificant, nay almost undetectable faults he does have.
It appears flyover country is tired of principled "conservatives" who conserve nothing except for their own pompous self regard while they lose and retreat in defeat under the boot of leftists.
There's a lot to this that I agree with. That doesn't mean anyone should pretend that Trump is gaffe-free, a valiant defender of True Conservatism, or at all lacking in the pompous self regard department. You can praise the good without memory-holing the bad.

Glad to see you are on the Trump train, even if tentatively.

Where he does the right thing I'll back him. Where he does the wrong I'll oppose him.

Ha ha - Biden can't catch a break. During the excruciating (I didn't watch it, just read about it) SEVEN hour climate town hall on CNN, Biden's eye fills with blood as he talks about how he'll control us all to save the erf. :laugh:

In fairness, he was just trying to keep up with the other candidates regarding how they will rule and monitor us, and confiscate all our stuff (like cars - no kidding) for the climate. The soundbites will be a gold mine for Trump's campaign.

Individual Biden body parts are now generating their own gaffes https://twitter.com/NumbersMuncher/status/1169411710396096518 …
So did they pull him off the air for a while to get that looked at? I didn't see any mention of that.
