Apparently earlier at a NATO event he started saying Putin instead of Zelenskyy and he corrected himself before it got all the way out, but I saw that and my stomach dropped.

Oh he said "president putin" outright. It was a mess. Just giving them fodder at this point 🤦♀️ Also why won't this presser start??!!

If you actually see the video, to me, it's a kind of a classic Biden gaffe. If it had happened while he was the Senate Judicuary Chair or Veep (and similar gaffes did), nobody would have batted an eye

He’s just under a powerful microscope right now.

He’s just under a powerful microscope right now. This is exactly it. I mixed up my daughter's names several times today, started to call A, M and vice versa. I don't have dementia or Parkinson's or anything else. But I also don't have anyone recording and hanging on every word (thank gawd). I'm also not on his schedule nor am I under the enormous amount of pressure he is. All of his verbal issues line up with having (and covering for having) a stutter. And look, it's definitely worsened in recent years, but you never get rid of a stutter, you only learn how to cover it and of course those tricks are more difficult to accomplish with age. I'm just so angry that the media and some wealthy elite donors are pushing us into an absolute no win scenario because THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO PLAY! Ugh.

I joke that my mother, at age 45, would shout my sister's name, the name of my cousin who briefly lived with us, my father, and both dogs' names before she would get to me and it was only because I so seldom caused trouble that her brain couldn't habitually conjure my name. (It's true tho. The few times I messed with her I was called the first half of 6 names before any part of my own) LOL

Also, if this is how everyone feels apparently, where was this conversation a year ago when an actual fucking primary could happen. Everyone so against having people try to beat Biden in the primary because "no one else could beat T" but now all of the sudden, 5 months before the election some unnamed person is better idea?!? I feel like I'm losing my fucking mind with some of this. Exactly. I would have loved to have choices in the primary, but it's too fucking late now.

Also, while I am spamming the thread waiting for POTUS to, presumably, air box to Eye of the Tiger, I am LIVID on behalf of MVP in all of the national debate/discussion. I'm not saying she Must Be Annointed, but just the total disrespect for her, for her talent, and for her position. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck all of that. She has dutifully played a VERY thankless role and taken on the most intractable issue areas, and has BLOSSOMED as a politician and as a surrogate. The shruggy looking around the room "But who else?" is so insulting.

Ok we are live and running and we are pretty much familiar teleprompter Joe so far. A couple of brief stumbles but it seems like he is live editing his speechwriters or the prompter.

I'm 100% here for quoting Madeleine Albright!
Talking about prices falling and taking on corporate greed to bring prices down further; Contrasting with 45 would-be tariffs which would obliterate middle class household budgets.
Touching on TFG killing the border bill to foment chaos and run on the issue.
Talking about how his administration has worked tirelessly to bring home Israeli hostages and to protect the civilians in Gaza.
Did he just soft announce a possible hostage release deal? I will google.

I ran errands today and 1) left my keys at the counter at Staples then 2) left my sunglasses in the cart cup holder at the food store and had to go back to the cart corral. And that's not even counting the aphasia I experienced at the pharmacy trying to say my H's name.

We all know every President is given a list of reporters to call on first, I wish he hadn't said it outright. It just plays into the feeding frenzy.

Asked about mixing up the names of world leaders, he gives a great, jovially facetious response asking, Have you seen a stronger NATO than you saw this week? I know who I'm meeting with and I'm using those relationships to get things done. Then he, again, says Putin where he means Zelensky, catches himself, and corrects himself saying, "And then 5 other names"
