I'm sure he will hold his feet to the fire over these verbal gaffes, contradicting stories, and rambling speeches that say and mean nothing. After all, these could all be signs of aging and "losing a step". And Jake cares very deeply about that.

nor forget Tapper's role in convincing the American public that Biden was too old to govern and that his staff protecting him was "the biggest threat to democracy" ever. How do these people live with themselves?

Of course, if he was talking about things he cared about like gold drapes and the big beautiful ballroom, he would be much more articulate.

But fallen soldiers? "They knew what they signed up for. Losers." I swear, he is a different species.

but I couldn't. I can't stand the sound of his voice or the way he speaks and I can't bear to look at him.

I can't. I just can't.

I also can't stand that stupid accordian thing he does with his hands.

In other words, I can't stand anything about him.

The quote in the subject line is a literal translation. He actually said exactly that.

I'd assumed that he meant "terror" and it came out as "terra" but he actually seems to mean "terra" whatever that means to him.

Brain is fried.

all of that with comments about 4 dimensional chess and his ability to "connect" with the average American. I can't watch his verbal vomit or the media's normalizing/praise of it anymore.
