I just don't buy that Biden is capable of staging that 'gaffe' as naturally as he did. If it was deliberate it was a faultless performance. Also how did the Trump team know 100% he would be asked a question about the garbage joke from MSG rally unless the journalist was in on it? I did think, however, that the garbage truck was liveried out in TRUMP 2024 at lightening speed so.....

I don't disagree. But ...

There's always the weirdness of Trump getting into a pardon discussion of that sort. But ...

Trump says lots of weird things. But ...

NEW:

 The Israeli army failed to capture the village of Khaim in southern Lebanon for the third time and retreated after heavy losses

The Israeli Army once again tried to advance towards the village of Khiam in southern Lebanon, after being forced to retreat two times in the past week.

But they retreated again after falling into two ambushes, West and East of the Khiam outskirts.

Evacuation helicopters are now roaming the area, trying to evacuate the dead and wounded under the cover of smoke screens.

Auto manufacturer Volkswagen (VW) announced on Wednesday that it would be implementing further cost cutting measures in response to consistently low sales of electric vehicles (EVs).

According to the Daily Caller, Volkswagen’s profits plummeted by 64% in the third quarter of 2024, which resulted in the company’s stock price tumbling to its lowest level since October of 2010. As the largest automobile manufacturer in the world by overall sales, the company announced a series of cost-cutting measures to combat this decline, including shuttering at least three of its factories in Germany, reducing wages by 10%, and laying off thousands of employees.

Trump is no longer running against Harris. She has been defeated. Trump is running against election fraud.

Payback by Biden. Clinton, too. What comes around, goes around.

Hmm since every one of us blind men gets to say what he thinks the elephant in the room is like,

I saw the headline "Kamala distances herself from Biden's remarks" and it read like Kamala would never call us garbage, or deplorable: she's not Joe Biden and she's not Hillary Clinton.

The important elephant in the room is what the Dems are planning for after the election. Lee Smith has a good summary at https://tomklingenstein.com/is-the-left-preparing-for-war-if-trump-wins/.

My own Senator, the very old and wise Ron Wyden, member of the SSCI, resident of NYC, who traveled all around Oregon in 2017 telling us Russians were under the bed, now signs a letter to all us Oregonians calling for civility after the election.

In downtown Portland, antifa's soundstage, businesses are very wisely putting plywood over their windows.

Would take more time and effort to set on fire than trash cans and homeless tents. :(

Zhou's "gaffe" is consuming MSM versus Kama Sutra's ellipse messaging yesterday.

Trump intent to discuss pardon for Hunter is a goodwill gesture to gain in advance for the Dems to reciprocate in case he loses and lawfare consumes.

Say what you will about Trump, but no way is he that dumb. A "good will gesture" that will somehow lead to Dems forgiving and forgetting?

Gaffe? It’s what Biden thinks of us. Hilary thinks we are the deplorables. They have nothing but contempt for us.

Biden’s cognitive ability seems to vary. When he’s relaxed it’s better, when he’s stressed it goes down. This is per Miranda Devine in a fascinating talk with Tucker.

Hunter per Miranda Devine comes across as a sympathetic character, a bit tragic.

I haven't seen the actual "gaffe" yet, but I have read about it online several times. I have always been of the opinion that 'Ol Joe *is not* as "addled" by age as he has put on since the first dem debates began. Sure, he's old as Methuselah, but he can sure as hell switch from Evil Political Genius" to not knowing where he's at in his own house in a flat (convenient) second. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed this (?). He was always dumb, but very politically adept at the only occupation he's ever known ; but magically caught "Old-Timer's" during the debates-and still got *selected* (from his basement, no less!) ? Gimme a break. But I have no doubt that he's trying to sink the Bipedal Hyena, in any way he can, as *his* Dem crew (including the Clinton's) despise Bathhouse Barry and *his* D.I.E. Hire and all of that crew. The Dems really have become what they have been wanting for our country at large, for decades now : a multi-kulti agglomeration of inherently irreconcilable, petty-Power-tweakers, brought down to the lowest common denominator.

Dear Lord, when are we going to remove the word 'gaffe" from our vocabulary! That word makes it sound like there was an accidental mistake, just something misspoken. This is full blown hate and not a mistake. Call it what it is, everyone, especially the MSM
