If Biden made a gaff like that, the election would be over. But Plump can say the stupidest shit in the world and nobody notices because he floods the zone with stupid shit.
- I would argue that Biden can say and do plenty of crazy things as long as he never goes full Trump.
  
  Remember when he challenged a guy to a fight and still won the primary? Expectations are low on both sides of the aisle.
- He can say it cos he represent the people who are ok about it, otherwise Biden represent woke, LGBT+ or whatever people who are not ok about it. That's why if Biden say that it will be over. About if it is stupid or not I believe it depends on the POV, at least RepubliKKKans are open about it, beside Dems being the same but preaching to get the woke vote.
  
  Biden doesn't represent the "woke" people. Those are the people calling for Biden's head on a pike because of the United States' support to Israel, and they've been very vocal about refusing to vote for him.
Party of small government
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The comments, made during an interview with a Pittsburgh television station, suggested that a future Trump administration might consider imposing mandates or supporting state restrictions on such highly personal decisions as whether women can have access to birth control.
“Women across the country are already suffering from Donald Trump’s post-Roe nightmare, and if he wins a second term, it’s clear he wants to go even further by restricting access to birth control and emergency contraceptives,” Biden-Harris spokesperson Sarafina Chitika said in a statement.
When asked during an April 12 interview with Time magazine for his views on the Comstock Act and the mailing of abortion pills, the former president promised to make a statement on the issue in the next 14 days, saying “I feel very strongly about it.
“Trump overturned Roe, brags about it constantly, and is proud of the horrific reality where women’s lives are at risk, doctors are threatened with jail time, and IVF and birth control access are under attack.”
“I imagine the events in New York City have been very distracting, but we are watching for an announcement,” said Kristi Hamrick, spokesperson for the anti-abortion group Students for Life, referring to the former president’s hush money trial.
Mini Timmaraju, president of the abortion rights group Reproductive Freedom for All, pointed to the GOP’s Project 2025 playbook -- a blueprint for ways to reshape the federal government in the event of a Republican presidential win in 2024.

In other words, he has a better pull-out game than we all thought
- Not at all. He just thinks he is (or should be) above the law
