It was a tactical mistake in my opinion for him to respond like that.
Excellent point. We can forgive Trump for much larger tactical blunders multiple times a day, but we are demanding of Biden!!! The deplorables shall rise up and smite him.

When Trump attacks and vilifies people it's not a tactical blunder, it's the best way that he can sell himself to his average supporter. It's what they want to see -- it's why they vote for him. It's a mistake on Biden's part because it's taking the bait, and gives them a gnat to strain at; not that they wouldn't have made one up without it. It gives them that reassurance that he's as bad as they are.

Whether the apostrophe was there or not, Biden was right. That's what's driving MAGA crazy.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

Joe definitely fell into the typical bully trap and made a strategic mistake, and that's about all, but it's a lot just before an election. A bully says, "you people over there are garbage." The well-meaning retort by the guy trying to be nice and protect the people over there goes, "the only people who are garbage are the ones who just called those people over there minding their own business, garbage."

And the bully and the bullies associates feign shock: "Hey, that guy just said we're garbage! we're so offended! You people have gone too far!"

Grow up, Ceeboo. Nobody can take you seriously.
Did Biden, though?

Biden said a sentence on a tape. Here are two reasonable possible transcriptions that sound identical:

1. The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.

2. The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters’.

You cannot tell from the tape which is correct. Ceeboo had to choose. But I doubt he experienced his interpretation as a choice because his source chose for him and told him what Biden meant. The title of the video is the source of Ceeboo’s interpretation.

I cannot stress enough that it is impossible tell whether 1. or 2. is correct from watching and listening to Biden say that sentence in the tape. If you refuse to consider context, all you’ve got is pre-existing bias.
Harvard graduate legalese. We all know what Biden said and what he thinks of people who favor putting America first. The phantom apostrophe argument is nothing but creative lawyers doing damage control. Ben Shapiro has specifically called it out as dishonest.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

I don't know what the big deal is. It's not like Biden, Schmo, or Veritas haven't been very clear on what they think of the America first movement. Biden has been very clear that he wants to jail people who vote for Trump and destroy any Republican legally and financially who defies the administrative state. I'm not sure why the White House felt the need to walk this comment back or insert phantom apostrophes.

LOL!! Not legalese at all. Just a basic knowledge of how homophones work. (No, Ajax, “homophone” has nothing to do with sexual preference.)

I’m calling Ben Shapiro out as dishonest.

Just keep telling those big old lies to yourself.
