Remember the line “if you can remember the 1960s, you weren’t really there”? It got support Tuesday from the Democratic presidential front-runner, born 1942.

According to a video posted by the Republican National Committee “war room,” former Vice President Joseph R. Biden, campaigning in Iowa on Tuesday, placed two of the 1960s most iconic events — the weeks-apart assassinations of Robert Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King — in the wrong decade.

“When Bobby Kennedy and Dr. King had been assassinated in the 70s, the late 70s when I got engaged,” he said in the run-up to making a point about how times have changed.

Mr. Biden did at least place his engagement in the right decade — he married first wife Neilia Hunter in 1966.

And he is the top democrat?

Poor old Joe.....

https://nypost.com/2019/08/08/latest-biden-blunder-poor-kids-are-just-as-bright-as-white-kids/

Gaffe-prone presidential hopeful Joe Biden put his foot in his mouth during an Iowa campaign stop on Thursday when he told a group of predominately Asian and Hispanic voters that “poor kids are just as bright, just as talented, as white kids.”

Biden committed the stunning blunder while speaking about education at a town hall with the Asian and Latino Coalition in Des Moines, where he’s campaigning and fundraising for the 2020 Democratic primary.

“We should challenge students in these schools and have advanced placement programs in these schools. We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it,” Biden said at the event, according to video of his remarks.

“Poor kids are just as bright, just as talented, as white kids,” he added.

Biden almost immediately went into damage control mode, quickly adding: “wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids, no I really mean it, but think how we think about it.”

But President Trump’s campaign quickly seized on the tongue slip, with his “rapid response director” Andrew Clark tweeting out a video clip of the remark.

“Yikes…have fun mitigating that one,” he tweeted.

Biden walked out of the Democratic primary debates last week red-faced after he accidentally told donors to “go to Joe 30330” when he meant to tell them to “text JOE to 30330″ to donate.

On Monday, the befuddled 76-year-old bungled the locations of the El Paso and Dayton mass shootings when he expressed sympathy for the “tragic events in Houston today and also in Michigan the day before.”

 

So... The gaffes Biden makes bad..but silence when trump said there was air ports in the 1700s.

IMPEACH HIM TODAY!!!

(He even made Rep. Tim Ryan swear)

OH - maybe should disqualify Biden as well....

(From the same article Gonzo).....

Trump isn’t the only politician to mess up the names of the locations of last weekend’s massacres.

Former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic primary front-runner, misstated the locations of both shootings while speaking at a fundraiser in San Diego on Sunday evening.

The 76-year-old Biden mistakenly referred to the shootings as “the tragic events in Houston today and also in Michigan the day before," but later corrected himself, according to a pool report.

Bernie Sanders' Plan To Save Newspapers Is Wrong on Every Level: https://reason.com/2019/08/27/bernie-sanders-plan-to-save-newspapers-is-wrong-on-every-level/

Quote

By his own admission, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I–Vt.) isn't a dyed-in-the-wool socialist who wants the state to actually own the means of production. But he still wants the government to be very much in the mix of just about every sort of business that gets transacted. That's scary enough when we're talking about making widgets or reducing the number of people who are allowed to enter the country legally (the Democratic presidential hopeful is worried that too many poor people will show up). But it's really bad news when it comes to regulating the media, which is very much on the senator's mind these days.

Writing in Columbia Journalism Review (the self-proclaimed "voice of journalism"), Sanders has unveiled a plan that would halt all media mergers if his administration believes they would reduce the number of journalists employed, "adversely affect people of color and women," or concentrate ownership in fewer hands (sort of a basic goal of all mergers). Sanders says that Facebook and Google have "monopolistic control" of online advertising because between them they account for 60 percent of "the entire digital advertising market" and swears that "after decades of consolidation and deregulation, just a small handful of companies control almost everything you watch, read, and download."

...

So when Trump calls out Jeff Bezos for publishing "fake news" and threatens him with libel and other actions, he is an authoritarian bully who must be stopped. (Disclaimer: Bezos has donated money to Reason Foundation, the nonprofit that publishes this website.) But when Bernie Sanders does exactly the same thing, he is a savior to an industry that has arguably been battered more by the gale of creative destruction than any other in the past 25 years or so.

Sanders' distress over media consolidation rings hollow not simply because he merely rehashes old, played-out perennial complaints. Remember back in 2000 when the merger of AOL and Time Warner spelled the absolute doom of an independent press? Better yet, can you even remember AOL or Time magazine, once massive presences in media that are now desiccated ruins of their former selves? At a point when traditional broadcast TV and radio have never had less influence on public discourse, is the solution making sure that the "right" type and number of people—however defined—own the appropriate number of stations? Does anyone in their right mind think, as Sanders does, that a "targeted tax" on online advertising and "tech companies" will actually work to fund "independent public media" that will somehow report earnestly on the very government that ensures their existence?

This is malarkey and it doesn't help that Sanders wraps it up in the same populist billionaire-baiting rhetoric he covers everything in, ideological maple syrup to sweeten what can only be understood as an unprecedented power grab over freedom of speech and the press.

...

How true.  Only rubes who hate freedom would vote for Mr. Sanders.

Gotchu. I just find it funny that some R's will hop all over Biden's gaffes but not Trump's who are arguably just as bad or worse.

Lol no it wasn't. 

Less people voted in 2016 then in 2012 in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. That's what led to a R win among other things. 

Trump out performed Mitt in Pennsylvania and Michigan but not Wisconsin. Clinton didn't out perform Obama in any of those 3 states (she did out perform Mitt in Michigan and Pennsylvania).. And Trump didn't out perform Obama. 

 

Democrats need to run on Health care and Infrastructure like they did in 2018. They won the governorship's in Wisconsin and Michigan and held onto the governorship in Pennsylvania...and won the house by doing so. 

Trump is the most beatable incumbent since Carter. 

I think you'll see more Independent and moderate R's vote D and quite a bit of Obama turn trump voters vote D again.

Looks like a fellow who really cares about personal freedom and small government.  He'll get my vote over the big government uni-party candidates.  Every time.

 

To me he looks more like the guy on the original Mountain Dew commercials who said “It’ll tickle yore innards!”
