It’s either that or he was reading a prepared speech that he didn’t understand or didn’t care for, and that someone wrote it and misspelled “psalms”. But doing that twice? Palms and palmist?

(Remembering the forum)

This post is deeply, deeply ignorant, offensive and reveals much more about the poster than it does Biden.

We should have closed this thread quite a while ago. It goes against the P&E (and GD) rules.

> [@New Rules for Politics and Elections – January 2020](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-rules-for-politics-and-elections-january-2020/845727/1):
>
> **Type of threads appropriate for Great Debates and Elections**
> 
> - **Keep threads specific and debatable.** No wide omnibus threads. We want to see clear, specific topics and thread titles. Large omnibus threads are actively detrimental to the long-term success of the boards. A thread entitled, “Tax Policy” is too broad. One entitled, “Should a National Sales Tax be enacted” is better. Keep it clear and specific. This also requires participants in the thread to remain on specific topics as well.

I am officially closing it and asking that we avoid omnibus threads in P&E and GD going forward.
