Biden on Twitter: "If there are any angels in heaven, they are all male and female nurses."

Well this thread is proving right off the bat half of humanity are brain dead. This wasn't remotely hard to understand.
He's saying that their jobs and work on the front line of medical care should give them wings in heaven.
He's talking about these folks TO these folks.
What's not to understand other than more ageist nonsense
This is ResetEra. They are outraged by literally anything Biden says. It's fucking ridiculous.

Well, that's one interpretation, heh. Not being aggressive, it's just that I did not read that from his comments at all.
Lmaooo. This is what I was talking about in the Sanders heart attack thread. Folks are getting ridiculous. There is nothing crazy here.
Am I supposed to be offended by that or something? Some of you guys are way too much.
Go outside and get some fresh air.

You read what you want to read. You wanted to read senility and/or insanity, so you did.
It's not complicated phrasing.

Haha, no, I do not think Biden is senile, and certainly not insane. But thanks. Truth is if he is on the ticket I will vote for him.
Sure you can interpret stuff lots of different ways. But if you just use some critical thinking it's quite obvious what he's saying.

I suppose re-read the OP? It's about why a campaign would publish such an inelegant, rambling video to Twitter? Something that people not familiar with caregivers would be confused about.
I'm not trying to be rude, but it couldn't be made any more clear to you.
Yes, what an idiot. Being thankful for the people in the profession who tried to comfort his son during his final years.
How dare he.
So idiotic.
It's hard not to worry sometimes when this is the level of comprehension among (some) people who are ostensibly engaged in politics.
It's not confusing but that doesn't mean it's a good statement either. He simultaneously says something both weirdly redundant and exclusionary.
For one, yes Biden we are all aware that nurses aren't all wome. Second, by specifying men and women you exclude all non-binary people.
He may as well have said "Male and female humans are nice."

I'll call my grandson later so he can teach me how to "click like" on this electronical newsletter.
This is true. But I think we can allow a little room for criticizing language while allowing a good faith reading of the intent of the speaker.
I mean, this is an old fashioned manner of speaking and complimenting a profession. Yes, the language specifically is a bit exclusionary. I don't think there's anything wrong in pointing that out.
But does anybody think a 76 year old man was thinking that hard about it?
fucking hell era
the guy has had an ocean of tragedy in his personal life. Spent weeks of time with family members in hospitals.

The statement is fine
I feel like this community needs to take a week-long break from itself and just walk outside for a little bit.

Good thing I had some Clorox wipes handy because I just spit food all over my iPad.
For some people to constantly question Biden's mental health, the fact some of those same people here are confused by his statement is kinda funny. This is a very straight-forward, boilerplate campaign statement for any group of workers. There is absolutely nothing confusing about it.
Does god turn certain people into angels when they get to heaven? I thought angels were a separate species altogether, not like something a person could actually aspire to.
Election season has hardly begun.
We're in for a fucking ride.
If anything, I'd say it's too make sure that male nurses are included in the sentiment. Many people view nursing as a profession for women.
Because it's Biden.
Thankfully, the thread is backfiring outside of a few "BIDEN TROLOLOLOL" posts.
Is weird man. I'm not a hidden fan AT ALL. He's a total creep... But I can find much better quotes to shame him about that this one.
Yep
Meant to compliment nurses and point out that male nurses are a thing and ends up coming off as dated
they are thinking too hard about it
I mean, hypothetical but equal back-forth, IF a prez candidate said:
"I'd like to thank the men and women of the armed forces"
or
"the best people we have are the women and men working as first responders in disaster areas"
an your reaction was
"fuck this non incluside garbage boomer"
then you need to take a fucking walk, a long, long walk, imo
add on the fact that the guy has lost most of his immediate family to car crashes and brain cancer... yeah some of us detect an empathy problem in here
edit: clarity
I think Joe Biden is a trash candidate and I STILL think these nitpicky and/or willfully obtuse threads about him are pathetic.
Why are people wasting their time with these stupid out of context clips?
