Jill Biden probably - "Good job, Joe! You read all the teleprompter lines!"

The smile Biden gave her was hard to look at because you can tell he doesn't have a fucking clue what is going on and he was just happy for a reason he didn't really understand. Jill Biden is a colossal POS

that's... what you say when you quote somebody. this is not a gaff, lol
"I concur with Justice (Sonia) Sotomayor’s dissent today. Here’s what she said – she said, ‘In every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law. With fear for our democracy, I dissent,’ end of quote."
note that this breitbart article linked is now deleted? very telling

u/No_Chef5541 2d ago
Yeah, I noticed the same when I saw the flu - this is not the same as him saying “repeat that line” or “pause here”
Watch any general or sports news program, and at least once during any broadcast they’ll say “and here’s the reply from the office of the commissioner, quote “blah blah blah,” end quote.” For all the many criticisms I have of the President, this isn’t one
End quote 😂

I seriously don’t understand what they’re doing with Joe. It seemed like this one that they brought out yesterday to make their whinny statement against Trump’s immunity was a entirely different Joe Biden and not the corpse one they had for the debate last week.

Of course they did, they’re trying to convince us Bidens scratchy throat was what made him a vegetable.

u/Cylerhusk Conservative 2d ago
Biden has PLENTY of gaffs. Honestly, I don't think this is one. The way he said "end of quote" didn't sound like he was just reading a line from a teleprompter. It sounded like a perfectly normal thing that someone might say to indicate they're finished with the quote they were just reciting.
I'm not pulling out my pitchfork on this one, sorry.

u/TacosForMyTummy 2d ago
He was literally quoting a supreme court justice. After the end of the quote, he said, "end of quote". This was not a gaffe. There is nothing to see here.
13
u/Jakebob70 Conservative 2d ago
Yeah, that was my thought too. If it's a gaffe, it's a minor one, that phrase can be used in normal conversation.
He's made plenty of others though where he read lines off the teleprompter that were clearly not meant to be read.

u/jimmyrhall Pro-Life Conservative 2d ago
Same, it's just weird that he hasn't said "end of quote" while quoting anyone before, to my knowledge at least.

He's goofed in the past, but I'm not so sure that was a gaff, so much as him clarifying his words vs hers.

u/MySalsaBringsDaGirls 2d ago
While I agree that that is true in this instance, I also believe they deliberately wrote it like that on the prompter to try and offset his past embarrassments…

I can understand your logic for “end of quote” but “repeat the line” and “pause” are absolutely gaffes.

So if you saw someone on the ground, bleeding, you wouldn't bother trying to help them since you're not a doctor and don't want to speculate on the health of the person?

the good ol if game.
If I saw someone bleeding, obviously I know someone is injured.
1
u/monobarreller Conservative 2d ago
Really? How can you be so sure? You're not a doctor after all. Perhaps this hypothetical person just likes to bleed for fun, right?
Look, we all know he has dementia. Everyone can see it, and what happened on Thursday was undeniable. To even act as obtuse as you are currently being is sad. Like that last Japanese soldier believing WW2 was still going on 25 years later. Just clinging to hope and his own fantasies.
Assuming you are being serious here, it looks like you are going through the various stages of grief. And your grief is legitimate. You watched a presidency and a campaign die last Thursday. It was very jarring for a lot of people such as yourself that probably has believed every single lie the democrats have spoon-fed you over the years. But try and process the shock and work on accepting this loss. Otherwise, the next 4 months are really going to take a big toll on you mentally.
Take care, buddy. We're all pulling for you!

u/halfcow Conservative 2d ago
This particular one is not a gaffe. As some other comments have said, it is not uncommon to say, "End quote" or "End of quote." You can find it heavily used when a news reporter quotes someone. Otherwise, it can be difficult for the listener to know when the quote stops and the speaker's own words begin.
3
u/RebelWithoutASauce 2d ago
I am genuinely confused by people who haven't heard that said. I think it might be falling out of fashion a bit, but it's a common thing to say when speaking out loud because you can't see quotation marks when someone is talking. I feel like it's actually pretty common in political speech.
4
u/No_Chef5541 2d ago
Gaffe:
“repeat that line”
“pause here”
Accidentally revealing true feelings:
“poor kids can be just as bright and talented as white kids”
"Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point."
He provides plenty of quotes that range from cringeworthy to outright awful. I’ll stick to harping on those

u/Routine_Tip6894 2d ago
Meh, "end of quote" is not really a gaffe

u/B_Wise_Citizen 2d ago
How about "repeat line" and "pause"?
Do you really, really (repeat word) think that way? (pause) Doesn't it seem like he's lost the ability to objectively think? (pause)

u/irving47 2d ago
I agree. I think he's a few buttons short of a remote, but in the context of that speech, it sounded like he was trying to make a very specific, defined point. "End of quote" seemed it was more of a way of making a very cutting point of something said, verbatim.

u/Iamthe_sentinel 2d ago
I think the old guy is totally gone mentally, and I'm 100% on the Trump train. But, saying "end of quote" while speaking is a common way to distinguish the end of when someone else's content stops and your content starts again. There are more eloquent ways of doing it without saying that, but it is a fairly common way of doing it.
Biden has enough actual gaffes that we should just highlight those instead of these sort of non-gaffes.

I am still trying to figure out why you would have “end of quote” on the teleprompter to start with. He just needs to read the words, no stage directions needed.

They knew he was frail and covered for OVER 4 years. Don’t think for a second that the sudden debate exposure isn’t part of a bigger plan.
5
u/monobarreller Conservative 2d ago
I honestly don't think it is. I think they had hoped it wouldn't be this bad at this point but this decline has really picked up speed in recent months, which probably caught them a little off guard. And while I think they knew the debate wasn't going to be good for them, they probably thought that it would only be a few gaffes that they would be able to explain away and the press would go along with it.
But Thursday was so horrifically bad, for the press to go along with it would destroy any remaining credibility that they think they have. Acting like Thursday night was fine is like saying fire isn't hot and water isn't wet. It's just impossible to deny.
And the fact remains that at this point, getting him to quit opens up multiple cans of worms, each with its own set of ussues. If Biden drops the campaign, shouldn't he resign? Who replaces him? Kamala? Does she then become the defacto nominee? Who would be her VP? And if Kamala isnt the nominee, who do you pick? Thats an entire fight right there. And even if you do pick a replacement quickly that gets broad support from at least the base, will the rest of the party go along with it? And then would the public get behind the choice. And I haven't hit on the issue of getting on the ballot. Some of those states require Biden to die before they are allowed to be changed.
Every day Biden doesn't quit makes it even harder to make a change. At this point, they are stuck with him.

u/Relative_Carpenter_5 2d ago
The facade and cover for Biden’s ineptitude has been a constant for 5 years now— why did he campaign from the basement? They control the flow of information. Truism: they lied and covered up, by omission and misinformation, for Biden. This alone should make you pause and question everything you hear and see. They knew his competence before the debate. And, they knew there’d be fallout. They have a plan.

while biden clearly suffers from Delirium (i.e., reduced awareness, poor thinking skills, and speech difficulties) in this instance he read the tele-prompter proper, as the end quote was referring to the statement made by the alarmist judge.
and, just so people know, they now set up the teleprompter so that "end quote" and "pause" are taken out. They now use special large icon symbols.
