“Ground Zero in New York — I remember standing there the next day and looking at the building. And I felt like I was looking through the gates of hell,” Biden told US troops in Alaska.…
I'm reminded of Gorbachev, who became leader of the USSR in part because the last few guys were ancient and died after a couple years, people were tired of it, and he was the youngest plausible option.
How dare you suggest that the NY Post would editorialise headlines? I’ll have you know that they’re a very reputable bastion of journalistic integrity, stretching all the way back to their founder (and America’s most beloved founding father), Lin Manuel Miranda. 🦅🇺🇸
Pretty much. I don't think he'd deliberately lie about this (he knows it will get called out), and even if it's not dementia it's clear he's slowing down a bit.

We desperately need ranked voted for all elections, and we need it yesterday so we can start to get away from this stupid 2 party system where everyone can only vote for the guy they think might win the final election rather than being able to rank the candidates by who they like the most with "the guy that can win" as a safety backup to who they like the most so their vote isn't thrown away.

The next day, nine days later...JHC within the microcosm of things it's a gaffe. Something Biden is known to do, and based on his dyslexia it's entirely possible he misread a teleprompter.
Mountain, meet molehill. Point is, Biden did visit Ground Zero. Whether it was the next day or the next week, he still did it.
