    Yeah, while smiling about it and never claiming to be insulted or at all put off by it... I don’t understand the outrage on his behalf... how is this even an issue? Political theater...

    They don’t show clips without set up... it’s a ridiculous premise... what news shows clips, without context?

    PC culture gone bananas... I have no clue why I should be offended...

    There was no additional context needed, they didn't reach out to clarify if it was a "joke" or not.

    Yet here you are, still pearl clutching.

    What? They asked to clarify his previous stance, that his mental acuity is tested daily on the campaign trail. The response you are complaining about being a joke, was the clarification. Why does it mater if it was a joke or not? ‘Cmon man...

    Well, I am embarrassed for someone, but it ain't Biden, yet again.

    This is some bizarre take on PC culture... I don’t even understand why or what part of it was a joke maters... this doesn’t make any sense... I’m just trying to get some understanding on why I should care...

    Trump can’t run on his record, so he made up bullshit about cognitive test, as part of his political theater... I don’t understand why Biden should give it any merit...

    As I said... Biden’s cognitive test is being audited...

    Oh right, I forgot. No one is allowed to question anything Biden says or does, now or in the past! My bad.

    Also why the hell are lying or are you just being ignorant?
    Than, what is this:

    https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...ve-test-391771
    "It was a preposterous question deserving of a response that showed the absurdity of it all," a Biden campaign official told POLITICO.
    Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez also took aim at Barnett's line of questioning.

    "That's a stupid question, with all due respect," Perez told MSNBC on Wednesday afternoon.
    Their right...

    Also:

    What are you questioning? If it was a joke? Biden’s team and DNC chair are saying it’s a response deserving of the stupid question... what exactly are you questioning about Biden?

    Once you're done being offending, please pass the joint over


    Watching Diamond Joe trigger all these Bros is fun though. We haven't even talked about Joe driving his badass car.

    He's mad that Biden isn't going after his willfully ignorant vote. And so he comes here regularly to prove to the rest of us why Biden is making the right choice in doing so.

    I mean, it's a '69 Stingray. What's Trump drive? A golf cart? The only time a golf cart is cool is when you mess with the governor and ramp them around the course after things are closed for the day. Not that I'd know anything about any of that or anything.

    67. I used to own one same year and also convertible. Except it was bright cherry red. My daughter is driving it around TX now. Just for that alone I am voting Biden.

    I'm not even a car person and his stock went up a few points with me for that ad. Seriously, that car. A red one is even better, though.

    So...I guess the Trump administration is just like...texting people in Iran and Russia about the $10M election interference bounty? Like, out of the blue direct texting with a shady looking link.

    “The moment you receive something like these kinds of messages from a government – we assume it’s the U.S. government – it’s going to be flagged by Iran,” he said.

    He said that the United States had a range of options for communicating with Iranians, including online advertisements and Telegram channels.

    “Direct communication with the Iranian people like this? Over a plain text message? It’s going to be dangerous.”

    Lets get serous, you would vote for a candidate who is running against Trump even if he drove one of these. lol!......

    Kanye West Indicates His Spoiler Campaign is Intended to Hurt Biden

    Good luck with that, dipshit. Nobody who intended to vote before he threw his hat in the ring is suddenly going to change their vote from Biden to Kanye. Hell, he might actually get a few votes from Trump voters who were doing it just "for a troll".

    Can the US please stop telling their children that "anyone can be President!" because a lot of the people trying are just fucking awful.

    Yes, as surprising as it may sound... the quality of car someone drives, is not a reason to vote for them. Trump’s record, sure as hell is... it’s why he isn’t running on it...

    Only white males can come up with this tactic, they think everybody is as stupid as they are so why not an artist who at this point has become a parody.
    I wouldn't be surprised if West stole votes from Trump or that the effect would be close to zero while siphoning resources away from Trump.

    Either way, conservatives are given white males a bad reputation.

    Are you sure it’s the only reason? lol
