Biden and Pelosi....wow!!

Conservative media feeds them crap. They drink it down and call it a chocolate milkshake.

Then they come here and expect to play the Fox News commentator for rational people, with a "Look what I found!" expression on their faces, and again and again people respond by saying, "How can you possibly have been fooled by that?"

Setting all of their faults aside, they have to get a lot of credit for their incredible persistence propagating delusion and their spirited dismissal of reality.
 
The context of the Pelosi clip as I understand it, is that she was on a conference call talking to her grandchildren. I assume they are young because if they are teens they probably think she fell off her rocker talking to them like that, lol.

If that was a private call between a grandmother and her grandchildren I think its shameful to make this public. She is a top candidate for being my least favorite political figure of my life time but, as much as I dislike her, I think this is a really cheap shot to take, even though she isn't above doing it to others, I am above endorsing it being done to anyone.

I will also say this, as much as the left likes to liken Trumps supports as being cult like, she sounded pretty cult like in that clip. People need to stop conflating exuberance with cults.

Better take another look, in the lower right is the tag WH.Gov and there is a sign language interpreter for what she is saying, as in all official releases now. Are you imaging that her grandchildren need the sign language interpreter? Sorry, hardly a private call to her grandchildren.
 
Come talk to us when you are his age, see if you are AS lucid, but I suspect

Since we're talking about stuttering here, it should be noted that stutterers do go through phases where they are 100% fluent for years, and then they go through time periods where it comes back.

Who knows, Biden could have gone through a "stutter-free" period, and then it came back AFTER the death of his son.

I suspect though that the poster who made that commentary never really paid much attention to Biden's speeches. 2020 was the first-time he was actually in the spotlight as a candidate. In 1987 and 2008, he was never seen as a top-tier candidate.

But my point here has always been: Why does this matter? It feels awfully irrelevant.

Yeah, if it is a Conservative news media it is clearly fake news or even a deep fake item. Unlike the truthful liberal news when it is handed down to them from the Mount.

better to pick on his stutter than his accomplishments so far, it is called A DEFLECTION ;)

That's an idea. Or some conservatives could work on their critical thinking skills instead.
 
Correction. YOU never heard him stutter in public before.

Biden has always had a stutter. Its been well documented.

Watch those 3 clips. Which one seems like a different guy?

3 clips does not equal Biden's entire 36 Senate career. This is just awful logic.

Neener, neener, boo boo......with the proverbial nose in the air......ROFL.....too funny.

Hey you were the one trying to order people around. Right back atya.
 


Isn't it nice that he's gone?

I have no idea what he's angry about today.

Competence, quiet, organization, emotional stability.

I stand corrected. I got the story wrong. She wasn't talking to her grandchildren but rather she was talking about them. I heard about it on TV that was playing as background noise. I must of misunderstood what they said.

I found this online:

Conservatives mocked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi after her comments during the 2021 Issues Conference while President Joe Biden was watching. Pelosi was speaking about her grandchildren and how much they loved Biden when she said "in order to open these doors we don’t say open sesame, we say open Biden. That’s our magic word."

So you agree it looks like a totally different guy in the last clip versus the other 2? That gives me some comfort I guess.

You just think I’ve picked the only moments from the past where he managed to speak coherently?

I tell you what, let’s see if you can produce some clips from 1988-2000 with him speaking like the bumbling animatron he looks like now.

There are a bunch out there. Let’s see what you can come up with.

And to me it’s not the stutter it’s the alertness, the sense his brain is actually working as he speaks instead of struggling to read something and failing.

What he can come up with? :ROFLMAO: Pound sand.

His stuttering has been well-known for decades. Believe it or not. I don't know why you think your opinion about it matters.

Ok, so if the stuttering is a constant for decades why is his speaking so different now vs then?

Something is clearly different and I think we agree it’s not the stuttering.
 
Old:



New:



Not the same.

Perhaps you didn't read or comprehend my previous comments. Lets review again:

Biden has a well-documented speech impediment. Read the link. Go to youtube. He's talked about it. In 2004, he was the featured speaker for the NSA or National Stuttering Association. This isn't a new development.

What you're doing here is cherry-picking. You took two clips from the past, and then compared it to a clip of the present.

Biden has made MANY MANY speeches over the years. He's been very fluent and disfluent over the years.

Perhaps the death of son impacted his speech. Perhaps that's why he MAY appear to be more disfluent than usual. Or perhaps the far-left and right-wing have decided to exaggerate his speech progressions over the years. And quite frankly I don't know, and to be even more blunt, I couldn't care less. Biden has shown time and time again to beat the odds.

As I mentioned before on here, I was born with a stutter myself. I've been through 12-13 years worth of speech therapy. I've gone through relapse with my speech. I have met a lot of people with different kinds of speech impediments. So again, I understand stuttering and all its forms. It appears to me that you're seriously misinformed on the condition/disorder or whatever you like to call it.

Biden crushed it in the debates. He's recently made powerful speeches which moved audiences. Why don't we dissect those speeches rather than the instances where he messed up? The reason is simple: You dislike him. Plain and simple. This is the game people do: Focus on the mishaps rather than the majority.
 
Ok, so if the stuttering is a constant for decades why is his speaking so different now vs then?

Is he speaking differently or just cherry-picking?

Stuttering is never a constant. A stutterer goes through different stages and hills and valleys. The fact you don't understand that concept, shows lack of fundamental understanding of the issue.

They're just being intellectually dishonest, and I think the reason is partisan attack, as well as their vulnerability to rightwing commentators crafting stories that support their partisan preconceptions.

Throw in an altered video here and there, and they're easy to convince. They arrive pre-convinced.

He’s speaking differently. In those old clips he has energy, facial expression, gestures. There’s an alertness and a sense his brain is working and words are flowing from it. In the new clips he has no expression, no gestures, no energy and he’s struggling to read.
 
411 ahh the days when humans sat at a large desk responding to callers needing a phone number.

Hayward, CA in 1957-58 I worked for Pacific Bell and saw the women operators handling such calls.

Biden is not just stuttering, he has actual language problems.

Let's all circle back on this. ~Jen Psaki.

Let's not forget Ernestine!

 
I figure he’s good for one of these every other day or so.



And keep with the practice of putting some old Biden up to compare I found this one. They actually take about Biden’s strength being his oration. No talk about a stutter.



Seems like some mental decline may have occurred since then.
