I want to preface this as not coming from a political point of view but how can Biden be trusted with regard to him telling stories about his past life? He’s been caught lying about coming from a coa...

Gaffe machine? Gaffe machine only as much as he’s lied numerous times and plagiarized speeches from other people so that’s two totally different things. You call gaffes I just call lies. On the spee...

Biden isn’t a stutterer. If you go back and look at his speeches and even for example his debate with Paul Ryan he was very sharp and spoke very fluently. What’s happening now with him is clearly co...

Some of the symptoms you describe kinda remind me of Tourettes, even. With a stutter I believe most times there's not much to do than accept and practice so it gets reduced, and on your position, I be...

This does not seem to me like a topic that's worth delving into. We shouldn't be trying to self-aggrandize based on something as fickle as "IQ score". Averages tell us precious little about individual...
