This episode of @ThisAmerLife has a story & #39;Time Bandit& #39; - about Jerome Ellis - a man with a stutter - that is so so powerful. I love stories that build understanding and empathy for people I know about but never thought deeply about. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/713/made-to-be-broken/act-one-10">https://www.thisamericanlife.org/713/made-...

It& #39;s been on my mind a lot recently after I read reports that Chris Christie& #39;s advice to Trump was to constantly interrupt Biden in that first debate - because it can be difficult for people with stutters to navigate that kind of thing.

And, when I see Fox News cherry pick moments where Joe loses his place or struggles in a tiny ways to find speech - and then try to convince people he has dementia.

It& #39;s just so fucking rough to watch them do this.

Anyway, I am watching Biden do his speech in Pennsylvania and, as usual, he is strong and clear and has humanity and policy and a plan. He& #39;s communicating the plan, he& #39;s communicating a vision and he& #39;s communicating his pitch for unity and it& #39;s wonderful.

If you think Biden isn& #39;t a great speaker, or that he is generally bit of a duffer. I recommend watching him do a whole, unedited speech.
