what are we doing here? he accidentally said million instead of billion and then immediately knew it and corrected himself. he didn’t “flub a line” and then “make an effort to correct himself,” he did the speaking equivalent of a typo that you know you’ve made and instantly correct

I called my dog my cat’s name this morning, then attempted to correct myself. Should my husband let me drive the car?

I think people made too much of the debate performance being entirely a media invention. But this kind of thing is exactly why it’s not crazy. No sane person watching someone speak holds that against them. This kinda shit *is* pure media invention. It’s bullshit. It’s nonsense.

Meanwhile, Trump flubs constantly and not only doesn’t correct himself but then defends the flub as being correct or being interchangeable with the correct statement.

Oh you didn't see the new updated DSM? Says that if you ever do this, and go back and correct a verbal flub, you're to be committed to an insane asylum. It's a sign of early onset insanity. Sorry, can only choose from unicorn candidates now.

Biden didn't watch the replay of his debate? What? His whole campaign staff should be fired. Done.

He didn't "make an effort to correct himself" he LITERALLY corrected himself immediately (Unlike Trump who still stands by thinking electricity is affected by sunshine)

Imagine what kind of headlines they would write if he "flubbed a line" at 1:59 of a 2 minute hard cut off of the mic with no chance to correct.

All the time they spend nitpicking Biden's stutter is time they don't have to waste covering Trump's constant lies, crimes, treasons, and rapes.

I wonder how young Chris was the first time he walked into a room, paused and asked himself, "Why did I come in here?" And if he claims he never has, he's lying.

The reason it's getting extra focus is because we all watched the debate and saw what an average Biden sentence looks like. You can't retcon that. If every other sentence includes a correction it's a theme, not a one-off mistake.

I fully approve this level of scrutiny for mistakes like this. The next time the NYT prints a typo, the entire paper should be immediately shutdown. Them’s the rules.

Tbf, that was obviously a normal mess up in real time, but he had some very strange meander about Kamala that isn't mentioned in the coverage at all. This billion/trillion thing was not even close to a real fuck up but a couple other moments were.....weird.
