If it was a quote it would’ve had quotation marks. 100% not being a dick or condescending. Just saying as much as 24hr new networks will skirt the facts, they still would follow the basics of editorial grammar. I think what you quoted is Fox’s title of the message the speech gave.

when Biden looked like he died several years ago during his debate, the democrats realized his makeup was too pale. then they started overdoing it, and giving him the orange glow. this happened even immediately after the debate, look at him at the Stephanopoulos interview.

Probably the redness from being white as fuck and old, maybe some yellow skin from being old too, and the warm color of the artificial lighting in the Oval Office (2700K to 3000K)

Joe Biden gives address

Silly old man thinks we don’t know it’s 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW 🙄

(Yes, I know that the word doesn’t mean that in this context)

This is a rare exception to rule 6. Yes it’s a video, but it does qualify as news.

Why would he need to do so? We all know he lives at The White House.

Reading the transcript, he spent a lot of time talking about his accomplishments. Not sure if he’s just stuck in campaign mode or trying to salve his ego from the harsh critique he’s faced the last few months. Either way, not a great look for someone trying to look like they’re “graciously” stepping aside. And he mentioned Harris a grand total of once. Way to unite “your” party, Joe.

No, he’s teeing it up for Harris to campaign on those accomplishments and helping draw a sharp distinction between her and Commander Cuckoo Bananas. And he didn’t mention her because he at least knows you can’t campaign with a presidential speech.

That’s a lot if I’s instead of We’s for a tee-up. And is that rule like an FEC regulated thing or just a “good decorum” thing? Cause he already endorsed Harris, and said so again at least the once in this speech, thankfully.

You’ve convinced me. I’m not voting for Joe Biden in 2024.

Not every criticism of Biden is about his electability.

I get what you’re trying to point out, but I actually didn’t mind it. People have downplayed a lot of what Biden has gotten done with the house and senate that was handed to him, and it was nice to hear some of the work the Executive branch has accomplished laid out.

There’s way more focus on the bullshit of the SCOTUS and Legislative branches because that’s where all the doom and gloom are, and we know that’s what sells.

There are ways to do that without focusing on himself almost exclusively. At the very least attribute it to the administration to help out Kamala. As is, he comes off like a jilted ex trying to make us regret dumping him.

For those with the intelligence to understand how politics works, Joe just set up all of the ducks for Kamala to shoot during her campaign while not mentioning her enough to give the POS GOP any ammo to fire at her by using his speech in sound bites.

He did the important thing, I don’t give a fuck what he does now to salve his ego.
