Deplorable Garbage

[George K]

Ah...it was "out of context."

Did you hear him say "apostrophe?"

Neither did I.

[George K]

You didn't hear the apostrophe?

What the HELL is wrong with you?

Deplorable.

Deplorable.

I’ll be honest, when I first read it and first read the rebuttal, I could see where it might have been out of context, but listening to it? Not a chance. Two different paragraphs, let alone sentences. He finished one thought “the only garbage I see is his supporters”. Then a whole new thought about trump’s demonization of Latinos.

It’s pretty shocking when you see someone sneer at Trump supporters. It’s the sort of thing you only hear about, but you never think it’ll happen to you. We’ve always been lucky in the piano forums that everybody around here is above that sort of crass condescension.

I guess Biden just erased any rhetorical advantage the campaign might have scrabbled together from Hinchcliff’s joke. Right on cue.

Well, the only bright side was that he wanted to drown Trump.

So, there's that.

Well, at least Biden got folks off of the Puerto Rico joke...

[kluurs]

Only garbage is between his ears. Gaffemaster strikes again.

When Republicans screw up, it's the story.

When Democrats screw up, it's the Republicans' reactions that is the story.

[George K]

Politico tries to cover for Biden.

Vance ain't having it.

The poor man doesn't know what he is saying.

And people wonder why the Harris Campaign considers him radioactive.

Came here to say this, and did a video review before seeing it was posted here. Zero apostrophe. The grammatical mistakes and stuttering were expected, though.

BTW you'd think politicians would be a bit smarter the week before an election... whether it's rambling off script on a Zoom call or having speakers at your rally fire off insults against people who haven't yet voted.

Biden did this during Harris's speech. That's no accident (though the "garbage" line probably is - or he accidentally said what he thinks).

Rumor is that he's trying to kneecap her campaign because he can't stand her. It was only because of I-forget-which-senator's promise to endorse him if he picked her that she's VEEP. He wanted Whitmer, but promised a DEI hire instead.

It doesn’t have the same panache as “Basket of Deplorable” or “Bitter Clingers”, but it’s a lot more blunt.

[Horace]

"The only garbage I see is his supporter's" indicates he is talking about the garbage owned by a single supporter. If he was talking about the garbage owned by Trump supporters as a group, he would have pronounced the apostrophe after the "s", not before it.

It seems a little fishy.
