Biden to military: “please clap you stupid bastards”

[Virginiá]

Annoying to look back on what was an obvious joke and see faux outrage from Republicans as if it was real. It was blatantly a friendly speech and the comment was made in jest. If it was as hostile of a comment that it was made out to be by certain conservatives, there wouldn't be a need to crop the video into a short soundbite.

This is part of what I hate about politics. The constant feigning anger over things people know are bullsh**t just so they can score a "hit" on the opposition, as if it matters. Politics isn't a video game. You don't win by racking up points per times you get angry over something the opposition candidate said.

People can go through life behaving as the social creatures humans are, but suddenly when you jump into politics, you forget how the world works and how people talk to each other. Yeah, ok.
