A twenty minute fire in the kitchen caused by a lightning strike is nothing, according to anti-Biden wingnuts

I still get absolutely dismayed at the way wingnuts self-gaslight via social media about Biden and dementia.   (And for the record, no, I don't think it was hugely embarrassing [or, put it this way - that big a deal] that he called on someone who had  died a couple of months before the event - he dwelt on it for all of about 8 seconds and moved on, possibly even realising his mistake at the time - and as was noted on Planet America, it is also possible that the name was accidentally left on the teleprompt.)

The guy has made verbal faux pas for decades - there are compilations on the net from well before the election.    It infuriates me that clips of minor matters, such as exiting a stage in the wrong direction, is snipped out and shown as if it is proof that he doesn't know where he is, or some such BS.   It's really malicious treatment of a public figure, feeding a gullible audience, if you ask me.   

Of course he's not as sharp as a younger man, but if you actually watch his performance in delivering speeches and off the cuff commentary, there is no way an honest person can say that any person well into a dementia decline could perform those tasks as competently as he does.   

Stop believing 10 second clips and watch his lengthy performances, morons.    

And on the question of honesty, look at this hyperbole:

So thousands of wingnuts stop there and believe whoever this Schwartz is.

You have to go to the thread to read:

 

As others point out:

So people are calling him a massive liar because a fire that (apparently) took 20 mins to control in the kitchen counts as a "small" fire, and it's wrong to call that "an awful lot" of his home.

I mean, this is just ridiculous criticism or what could, at the most, be described as mild exaggeration made in an attempt at showing empathy.

And nothing like the chronic "living in a fantasy world" type of lie that comes out of the mouth of Trump as an absolute matter of routine. 

I wish there were more people speaking aggressively about the maliciousness and gullible world bubble the Right has built for themselves, with the help of social media and money grubs like Lachlan and Rupert Murdoch. 

PS:   none of this means that I necessarily think Biden should run again.  In fact I think he shouldn't, and yes, because of his age;  but he needs to be replaced by someone sharper than his VP.
