    He announced he was going to be a one term president when he was running for that first term. (I know a campaign promise isn’t an announcement, but it was supposed to be common knowledge before he changed his mind.)

        That article quotes Biden staffers who are attributing quotes to him. I must have misremembered him stating as much directly, idk. Fuck him either way.

          It says in the article that he was directly asked about going single term and he told the interviewer he wasn’t going to commit to being a single term president. “Misremembering” is just weak speak for being wrong.

            Bruh fuck off with the aggro bullshit. I never said I was right. I read an article in 2020 that cited an aide stating Biden wanted to be a one term president. 4.5 years later, I remembered reading an article worded in a manner that framed Biden as a one term president. I thought the source was him directly.

            I misremembered. Bring wrong is a prerequisite for misremembering.

            I literally said I was wrong, but you felt the need to jump down my throat to tell me I was wrong? Cool.

              Go suck a fuck. Why are you even commenting about you being wrong over a post that’s been dead for a week.

                Wow great job quoting Donnie Darko at me. Responding bc I haven’t looked at any of my notifications for a week. I’m sorry that getting a notification from me got you so hot and bothered lol.

                Edit - you’re probably just mad bc you thought misremembered wasn’t a word.
