Just stumbles a bit. Remember Bush 2 “Nucular”? Biden’s on point, and we all know what he means. He’s gonna hold this county on course for years to come.

even former President Jimmy Carter (who had training in that field when he was in the Navy) used that mispronunciation, and it grated on my ears every time he said it.

Is just fine if he is still human. He’s meeting the moment, and thank goodness for that. Real ideas are coming through loud and clear.

he shows so much grace. He would never mock and would only wrap an arm around a child who stumbles as he does - and as he has.

He models such graceful behavior for us!

I don’t stutter and I’m terrified to speak in front of others. I can’t imagine how I would ever do it if I stuttered. What a determined, confident, strong person he is.

He doesn't fake shit and invent words like the insurrectionist in chief.

Pres. Biden has no problem admitting to be human. It's very refreshing.

is sleeping. That's how much he cares about the American people.

That was perfect timing showing a GQP senator sleeping.

Of Biden, proving the haters wrong, will turn the country onto the right path, and after that he’ll be healthier than all us posting now. Then, hopefully, Ms. Harris takes the wheel, and brings this country home, with equity and voice for all !!!!!

I'm pretty mild-mannered and don't usually argue online. But when the right-wingers on my feed try to put Biden down for it, watch the fuck out.

Most beloved kings.

Nothing was ever said about his stutter...it didn’t matter to the Brits. He successfully helped lead them thru WWII and was visible in the streets during the London blitz always with an extended hand and sincere greetings. As I write this, does that not sound like our guy!?

Why did these other sides of Biden hide from us for so long?
