Dude gets back from a whirlwind Asian trip, with a 12 hour flight home, and accidentally said a day later instead of a week later.
Talk about a slow news day.

Hmm. Most of these seem like fairly minor inaccuracies. Some are more inaccurate, but all seem to have some bearing on real events he was involved in. I'm not really seeing an intentional weaving of untruth like I see in many other politicians at this time. I more see the unscripted memory recall of an older person.
i see it as more of an example of why we shouldnt want septuagenarian or octogenarian politicians of either party.
Be probably just meant to say “week” instead of “day.” Such a minor screw up. I do shit like that all the time, and I’m half his age.
It's called confabulation, and it's not "normal" aging, it's a sign of memory loss. Dementia is a common cause.
I find it staggering that the democratic party are going with him as their presidential candidate. Feels like a mix of the sunken cost fallacy and a fear of turning away from someone who is currently beating Trump in the polls.
Arguably Trump confabulates too but it gets dismissed as he's been a liar for so long no one notices.
2024 is looking like an election with two elderly men with dementia vying for the whitehouse, and another one as senate leader. That's how extreme US politics has become - you could put up a literal monkey now and as long as he's in the right party he would get nearly 1/2 the vote.
It's all a sign of how dangerously broken the US electoral system is.
I hate it. I'll still vote for the puppet with dimentia that's commanded by Democrats over the one commanded by Republicans if that ends up being my only choice to fend off fascists.

Considering the absolute bullshit his most likely opponent says on an hourly basis, this seems minor.
All of Biden's "lies" are the equivalent of when my mom describes an event that happened "a week or two ago" that was actually 3 months ago. They're minor unimportant details, or just simplification for the sake of giving speeches.
ROFL…. Let’s compare presidential lies, shall we?
We talking "evil doers and WMDs" or "stable geniuses"?
How about all the way back to "I am not a crook"
All of these sound so minor.
The question is whether it's a memory thing, or if this is the standard politician thing where they're focused more on the impact of the story.
I think it's just a "I said the wrong word" thing.
Now if he starts recanting about the time he met Elvis on the moon, then I'll be concerned.

CNN is angling so hard for any Republican but Trump. It’s gotten so obvious in their coverage.
Or his speech writers played some stuff up and he embellished a bit as entertainers are prone to do.

These are such weak facts to check. I can sense the saliva seething through OPs teeth as they wrote this.
Im laughing at the people blaming his Asia trip like this isn't exactly the kind of flubs Biden makes usually. This is just him guys, he's fucking old and he's gonna keep being old.
To be fair, he’s been flubbing for decades.
Ok
Why should I care
Kellyanne Conway would've been there too, but she was busy helping relief efforts of the Bowling Green Massacre
