Do you seriously believe pausing and trying to find the right wording is a short circuit? Holly shit dude! I really want to say you are grasping at straws.. but really, you are grasping at the air.

Yeah, I do this all the time as a highly functioning middle aged dude. It happens because what I say in those situations has ramifications, and needs to be precise, exact, and defensible. If it's not, losing my job is the least of my worries. I can imagine that's even more of an issue for the leader of the free world.

Maybe people that don't understand that simply haven't ever been in a position where what they say is important?

Yep exactly, I've done this plenty of times at work in just one on one non fucking televised conversations and I'm no one important really.

Lol what? He took literally 5 seconds to gather his thoughts in the middle of an interview, this is what you're worried about? You know what happens when you don't stop to gather your thoughts and just ramble on endlessly making no sense? Person woman man camera tv.
At this point he and other conservatives have absolutely convinced themselves that Biden has dementia. Because of this they think every time he stumbles over words or pauses this is further evidence that others must accept. The idea that he and other conservatives are victims of confirmation bias is apparently not an option.

It would be funny if someone deepfaked up a video of Biden saying one of Trump’s speeches word for word. I bet the ‘Biden has dementia’ crew would be all over that. That Trump ‘nuclear uncle’ speech alone would get them howling for the 25th amendment.

Okay let’s play along. Biden is indeed sleepy Joe. At least he surrounded himself with competent people that if they truly need to 25A him, they will. The orange monkey butt kissers rather let the country crumble rather that doing their duty to the country

And they ignore the "Biden w/dementia managed to get 7M+ more votes, and is more successful in his term than TFG so what does that say about TFG?" angle completely.

Yes, I think I've mentioned before how 'Biden is demented' might not be the killer argument they think it is because then they have to explain why the demented guy has been kicking their ass up and down the field for the last 2+ years. If you can't beat a brain damaged guy it's hard to see why we should put you in charge of anything.

And to make this even more sad, is he voted for Trump TWICE - and that motherfucker was a word salad dumb idea machine - but a 5 second pause has got his hypocritical panties in a bunch.

Biden stutters and sometimes has to take time to craft his responses, or messes up from time to time. I consider myself to be somewhat educated and I have a decent command of the English language. Put me in front of a group, and I sound like an idiot, Biden makes me sound ridiculous by comparison.

At least his username is highly accurate.

Old people supporting the GOP who pledges to gut Medicare is an all-time self pwnage if it happens.
This is where the disparity lies, that it is idiotic to fully support what either party wants, because this has become a ridiculous game of extremism without consideration of the best interests of the majority.

It's just plain stupid to pick either party and blindly support whatever that party wants. In sad way this makes it fortunate that the party in control changes every now and then, so things don't get too lopsided.

At the same time, there are obviously many in this forum who want communism, because it works so well for countries that have it! They believe the lies, because unicorns.

A vote for trump isn't necessarily endorsing that tool/fool, rather it is just a vote to not have this ridiculous liberal crap. I've wrote it before and now again, if i had to vote for a cardboard box vs liberal crap, I'd rather we had a cardboard box as president.

Biden is a senile idiot. He comes across as an angry (fearfull) dumbass who would threaten if he could get away with it. He was never capable and didn't get better as he aged. The only way he got elected was trump was also incompetent due to no social skills, and social media was blown up with tards who have no idea about reality because they spend their life watching social media crap.

I did not vote for trump last time, but given the checks and balances over what has transpired in the last year+, again I'd rather vote for a cardboard box as president rather than trump, but it beats Biden, all day long. Biden is a retarded idiot for trying to push the green agenda at the tail end of covid, when the last thing that america needs is extreme increase in food and energy/fuel/etc prices. We need a recovery period before that happens.

It takes a real dumbass to try to cripple a society like that.

To bad you don't have the first clue on why food, energy, fuel, etc has increased. If you did, you would understand that it has very little to do with the current administration. But once again, you prove your user name to be accurate, as you are as mindless as ever. Which is why you believe the liberals are bad no matter what, and also believe the only reason Trump lost is because of "social skills"..

Well then, you’re in luck as there are no leftists running. Bernie is as far left as they come in current politics and he’s a moderate new deal liberal.
