Uncle Joe is very disappointed in President Trump. As we’ve all heard by now, Trump said a bad word. And he may have even used it in an impolite way – by describing less than desirable countries as places that are pretty crappy. I know, Truth. It can hurt.
The mainstream media is busy trying to make it into a racial slur, but once again they’ve exceeded their target and just look like fools. Don Lemon started his monologue with “Trump is racist.” This is a very entertaining tizzy-fit:
Call him out for being a potty mouth but stop with the efforts to make more of his stumblings than exactly what they are. It’s tiresome.
But the Democrats have to make the most of the trip-ups, especially when they are considering candidates like Oprah for 2020. Not to be left behind, former Vice-President Joe Biden weighed in with the very disappointed dad-speak.
It’s not how a president should speak. It’s not how a president should behave. Most of all, it’s not what a president should believe. We’re better than this.

Just in case anyone had forgotten what a gaffe master Biden is, but I guess we can infer that he means well so all should be forgiven. On the other hand, surely we all know Trump is eeeeevil. And stupid. No, I don’t believe either of those things, but crying Wolfe has sure gotten us to a place of saturation. I for one am enjoying the hysteria quite a bit. This is how you get more Trump. Thank you, Joe and Don!
And, of course, there’s Bill Clinton and why 10-year-olds asked what a blowjob was, but that’s whataboutism and therefore not a valid argument.
