Am I remembering that correctly?

(9,259 posts)The truth was that critics liked to parse everything he said, looking for something that could be spun as negatively as possible.

(9,350 posts)I do not watch Fox News, but it seems Fox News anchors are claiming Joe Biden is making gaffes everyday and is in steady decline.

They had her practically dead. Their whisper campaign is that he is frail, and has lost most of his brain function. Of course, they also consider him a mastermind who is making the US a Communist-style Socialist country.

Meanwhile, Dementia Don is gaffing all over the place, and crickets...
Hal Sparks the comedian/actor goes through these things daily on his YouTube and other media outlets to mock and expose them. He'll take those isolated clips, and play the rest of them to show just how sleazy and dishonest these propagandists are. He points out where they edit the videos, which are particularly prevalent when Trump is the one talking. It happens a lot with him. Makes one wonder what they're cutting out to hide it.

(9,959 posts)... I'm sure that's true.
I remember Hal Sparks! He was the host of the "E" channel. I never knew what happened to Hal - or the channel... he was, as I recall, an excellent host. I'm surprised he doesn't have a high profile show - or maybe he does... I'm not up on much TV.
Yes, the Trumpsters eat up all sorts of contradicting information. They claim to be pro-military - but NOT if it's someone supporting Hillary or Obama. Then, the military are traitors. They claim to be pro-police... but police who don't support overthrowing the USA for La Donald should be beaten with US flags. They are a contradictory bunch.

*suck on that, Dim Don

(50,279 posts)was making a thing out of Biden's remark when he was signing a bill. That didn't go so well. Biden made an aside as he was signing about his name being longer than Obama's. Well, the right hopped all over that. "Joe Biden" is definitely shorter than "Barack Obama." Except Joe signs his name "Joseph R. Biden, Jr." Oops. Back to socialism, I guess. LOL.
