    I was talking to my wife, and three times in a row I called the shower a “closet” and it just kept happening, while I got mad and she laughed at me.

    Does saying the wrong word make me incompetent?

    But anyway biden is still too old and it’s embarrassing that he’s our “pick”, I agree.

      I think I agree with you. But he’s speaking to the entire world, not to his wife about the shower… Gotta keep your words straight!

      This. Saying the wrong word in the moment is not a great look, but it certainly doesn’t imply an actual cognitive issue

        It’s especially annoying that his way of speaking is critiqued so hard by the right considering he’s worked to overcome a stutter. There are very valid criticisms to make of the man, but somehow it’s more convencing to talk about banal things like how someone speaks, which has zero effect on how good they are as a president.

      Perhaps if you stopped hanging your clothes in the shower you wouldn’t keep confusing the 2. Also, your pants are on backwards.
