"So, put yourself in the shoes of some poor shlub at Snopes who has to determine which of the following is satire from the Babylon Bee, and which is straight news reporting? Choose before clicking (or hovering with the mouse) please. This is a test.
A. Biden says “Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”
B. Biden Aides Forced To Use the Spray Bottle Again
C. Biden’s Latest Gaffes on Russia, Segregationists Are ‘Just the Beginning’
D. Second Democratic Debate Turns Into Tense Minimum Wage Bidding War
"The bad news, if you fail the test, you may be qualified to work at Snopes."
Another Splendiferous, Gafftastic Day for Joe Biden
Another Splendiferous, Gafftastic Day for Joe Biden
No one is more pleased about Biden's gaffisms than his main rivals for his party's nomination. But the former veep has built a great deal of momentum over the last few months and the latest polls show him nearly doubling his lead over his nearest rivals, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.PolitiFact Rates Biden Claim About Trump 'False' . . . "PolitiFact, a well-known, left-leaning fact-checking site, decided to address the portion of Biden’s statement where he claimed Trump said “that immigrants would, quote, ‘carve you up with a knife.’” In short, PolitiFact admits that Trump did not say that at all."
He is clearly the candidate to beat. But his penchant for weird misstatements and oddly unsettling references cause many less-partisan observers to wonder whether the old man is simply confused, or suffering from some debilitating condition like Alzheimer's disease.
It hardly matters. The next debate holds great peril for Biden. If he were to slip badly on national TV in front of millions of Democrats, even his friends in the media would start to abandon him.
