July was the hottest month ever.

🥓 🥓

Well, that's obviously not true.

[tower912]

Fair.    Hottest month ever recorded.

Get the hell out of here with your facts, from multiple sources, with all your science and liberal leaning thermometers!!!

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Well, that's obviously not true.

Imagine thinking that picking this nit is a winning argument.

[tower912]

Nah, he's good.  A reminder to be specific and cite sources.

I'm now sorry I never made time to get back to Hawaii again. Now I guess it's all gone.

Is it too late to move the tournament to somewhere else?  The Fiserv, perhaps?

[4everwarriors]

Dude is talkin' up da U.S. Well, at least he has dat goin' for 'im.

"Folks, it's not hyperbole to suggest that there is no national treasure — none that is grander than the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon — one of the Earth's nine wonders, wonders of the world, literally. Think of that. You know, it's amazing. An enduring symbol of America to the entire world," Biden said.

Hoo nu, aina?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Is the gaffe he said 9 instead of 7? The Grand Canyon is one of the 7 Wonders of the Natural World.

Ehhh, it's all they got. Up there with tan suits, Grey Poupon, and liking ice cream.

Right.  There's literally nothing to criticize about this President.

The point is he doesn't have the mental capability of being a ditch digger, let alone POTUS. Politicians such as he, Fetterman, McConnell, et al, need to go, hey?

Person, woman, man, camera, TV.

[lurch91]

There's something to complain about every President.  Preferably, I would like to vote for a President every 4 years instead of having one install himself in the White House on false pretenses.

[Pakuni]

Right.  There's literally nothing to criticize about this President.

There are several things to criticize about this president.
An occasional verbal gaffe isn't one of them.
The last guy referred to the 2001 terror attacks as "7/11"; called Thailand "Thighland"; said the Spanish Flu helped put an end to World War II; claimed to have met with the "President of the Virgin Islands (he was the president of the Virgin Islands at the time); talked about the grandeur of "Yo Semite" Park; "Covfefe"; and, my personal favorite, recalled how the Continental Army under George Washington "took over the airports."
And don't make me go George W. Bush on you.

Look, when every word you speak is being recorded, you're going to slip up on occasion. This is true of every public figure, and even professional communicators like news anchors, radio hosts and actors (this is why blooper reels exist).

As TSmith notes, if this is the best 4ever's got, it's weak sauce.

Maybe,  but i don't think mixing up that there are 7 wonders of the natural world and 9 wonders of the ancient world is evidence of that. That seems like a mix up that anyone could make

I find it amusing that all the articles I've found covering this gaffe havent mentioned that the grand canyon is a wonder of the natural world and instead list the wonders of the ancient world.  I wonder why that is

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Right.  There's literally nothing to criticize about this President.

That's exactly what I said, indeed.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

And yet he also the grand mastermind of the international Biden crime syndicate. Amazing.

It's a shame cognitive dissonance isn't a painful condition.

Inject bleach.

Making fun of politicians is as old as time. Of all the strange things politicians have said, the Grand Canyon is near the bottom of the list. At least his gaffes aren't damaging, or egotistical.

God save the queen, man.

It's certainly minor among his gaffes.  But to say that none of them over his career have been damaging is false.

I'll bite. Which ones have been "damaging?"

Were the lies he told about his college and law school “achievements” gaffes or made up self aggrandizing lies that he knew were lies?

Pop Tarts are making kids gay, I guess.

I am still ticked about Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas.   Talk about long term harm to America.
