    "Gaffe" is a nonsense term invented by reporters and pundits that no normal person ever uses. If you continue to characterize Biden's repeated cognitive malfunctions as "gaffes," you are failing to accurately depict what is going on with him

        It's not a nonsense term, Michael. Check your etymology before making such a claim. https://www.etymonline.com/word/gaffe

        Biden's behavior is terrifying. Anyone who has dealt with a brain disease knows that these errors are not "gaffes."

        I think people understand what Biden's gaffes mean. And, probably should cause more alarm, since there is not much evidence they will stop, or have an innocent explanation.

        Trump is going to win if we give him the election tied up in a Biden bow.

        Saying he was vp during Parkland is not a gaffe. And he did it more than once.

        Maybe we should get a scorecard so we can compare Donald Trump to Joe Biden. Example: Washington protected airports, or cancer from wind turbines.

        It’s also just incorrect with the definition of gaffe being accidentally saying something true

        Uh, that's not a definition I've ever heard; it's always meant 'a clumsy or tactless remark'.
