Joe Biden Facepalm

Joe Biden: The Human Gaffe Machine


Since I did a list of some of the stupid things Donald Trump has said and tweeted, it's only fair to do lists for other politicians. To that end, here's a list of "Sleepy" Joe Biden's gaffes:

  • "You're trying your breast, but it's never enough."
  • “Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.” — At a campaign event for Asian and Hispanic voters
  • “I like kids better than people.”
  • “We go back a long way. She was 12, I was 30. But anyway, this woman helped me get an awful lot done.”
  • "I've got hairy legs that turn — that turn — um, blonde in the sun. And the kids used to come up and reach in the pool and rub my leg down so it was straight and watch the hair come back up again. They'd look at it. So, I learned about roaches, I learned about kids jumping on my lap, and I've loved kids jumping on my lap."
  • “Folks, imagine what we can do next. Four more years. Pause.” [The "pause" was a cue not meant to be spoken.]
  • “... every American voted against ...” his 2021 American Rescue Plan
  • “I’ve always believed we've got it all wrong. America is rising. And we have the best economy in the world, which we do.”
  • On his Uncle, Ambrose Finnegan: “He got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals in New Guinea at the time. They never recovered his body.” [US military records revealed that the plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean on May 14, 1944, and Finnegan was not rescued from the wreck — and Papua New Guinea’s prime minister later chastised the president for the undeserved comment.]
  • "... All while raising their prices on prescription jugs."
  • "And now I want to hand it over to the president of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination, ladies and gentlemen, President Putin." [He meant President Volodymyr Zelenskyy]
  • "Look, I wouldn't have picked vice president Trump to be vice president if she was not qualified to be president. So start there." [He meant Harris.]
  • "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women were created by the go-, uh, you know the, you know the thing!"
  • "Let me close what I’ve long said, America is a nation that can be defined in a single word. I was in the foot — foothimala — excuse me — the foothills of the Himalayas with Xi Jinping, traveling with him. We've traveled 17,000 miles when I was vice president. I don't know that for a fact.”
  • "I mean, you got the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice looking guy ... I mean, that's a storybook man." — Describing Barack Obama on the same day Biden launched his own presidential campaign
  • "Putin may circle Kyiv, but he'll never win the hearts of the Iranian people." — During his first State of the Union address, confusing Ukrainians with Iranians.
  • "We went to 54 states."

For some reason (maybe not typing the right words into Presearch when looking for Biden's most notable gaffes), I'm struggling to find any more nuggets.

Great White Snark
Great White Snark

I'm currently seeking fixed employment as a S/W & Web developer (C# & ASP .NET MVC, PHP 8+, Python 3), hoping to stash the farmed fiat and go full Crypto, quit the 07:30-18:00 grind. Unsigned music producer; snarky; white; balding; smashes Patriarchy.

SW/Web developer: ~12 years of C# (yay!) & ASP .Net MVC, Java (blargh!), Python (woot!) experience. I'm currently hitting faucets and writing for crypto to stake/invest . | I work part-time with animals. Sadly, my cerebellum and medulla oblongata aren't Einsteinian in proportion. However, I possess a Brobdingnagian vocabulary and get by with being a barbigerous logophile. I can probably write you into bed, if smashing Capitalism and Patriarchy turns you on. Kink is political!
