Biden has mentioned more than once he has had a stuttering problem since childhood. Even though he has been able to overcome the worst of it, when he's tired or nervous or when his brain thinks faster than his lips and tongue can speak, he falls back into stuttering. I have a disability, my husband and son are developmentally disabled, various members of our extended family are disabled -- come to think of it, none of us is perfect!!!

Nobody had to make this argument for Quid when he ran for the Senate in 1972, or when he ran for president in 1988 and 2008, or when he chaired the Clarence Thomas hearings in 1990, or when he ran for vice president and debated Sarah Palin in 2008 and Paul Ryan in 2012.

He spoke perfectly? No stuttering? No restating words or phrases? No stumbling?
August 2008: "Through four decades in the U.S. Senate, Joseph Biden, 65, has honed a reputation as a heavyweight on foreign policy and national security and a strong debater, if one sometimes prone to verbal gaffes."
https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93914952
Issaac Bailey, who has also struggled with stuttering, wrote in Nieman Reports (https://niemanreports.org/articles/biden-stutter/) in March 2020 that when he watched Biden squeezing his eyes during a debate, Bailey recognized that “this type of facial tic is common to stutters who have to, in a split second, decide to struggle through a speech block or quickly substitute words on the fly.”
It can look, said Bailey, “like a moment of forgetfulness—or cognitive decline when it leads to a nonsensical-sounding sentence.” Bailey concludes with “what to the untrained eye looks like evidence of cognitive decline might not be.”
Yet Trump and some journalists are making the case that such moments are evidence of Biden’s cognitive decline. Biden cannot let that false narrative continue.

From the people who want to shut down all fossil fuel technology: It appears they love air travel especially to warm weather conferences .“You need to have a frequent series of meetings to keep up with the data, to advance our findings, to make sure that they are disseminated across the community,” says Cob
If anything, such conferences are very inefficient for achieving these goals. The internet does it far better. I guess they haven't heard of Zoom or Microsoft Team like the rest of us mere mortals have been forced to use .
But they salve their guilt by buying phony carbon credits to offset their frequent flying .In truth these conferences are political gatherings, aimed at organizing political action and regulation; or for social interaction and schmoozing!

To be clear, the primary blame for Trump's defeat lies on...Trump. Biden did not win so much as Trump lost. In four years he learned nothing. He would not control his mouth or his ego, and in the end it cost him the few hundred thousand votes that would have made the difference. So we will endure four years of a senile pres. He will enjoy the support of nearly all the media. They will fawn over him daily. The economy will suffer, and workers will suffer, and abortion will grow ever more deadly, but the press will support him. Still, I don't think he will have a ghost of a chance four years from now, and that's assuming he hasn't died of old age by then which is certainly a realistic possibility.

Higher turn out means counting more votes, and I daresay high early voting had as great an impact as the mail in ballots, which will be quite popular looking forward.
Would the right have felt better knowing the dufus lost by the next morning? Don't see how, but regardless we already knew the states wouldn't certify the results for several weeks after and despite the media call now we still have to honor that process, as well as the rightful lawful legal challenges.

There is absolutely no vote security with many of the mail out schemes. The public having confidence in an honest vote count is essential. When there is no possible way to know if a vote came from a registered voter, then anyone with even half a brain can see it is open to corruption. It destroys voter confidence.
