Some folks believe faith can move mountains I guess

But if that's your best advice, well...no further comment

Brilliant young man but it's got to be a struggle. My heart goes out to you.

Thanks for sharing your story.

By fourth grade, I no longer needed speech therapy. I debated all through high school and for a year and a half on the college level. College debate involves speaking at a very fast rate to make as many arguments as possible in a short period of time. My coach had me see a speech therapist at the campus health center to see if I could increase my speed and I eventually decided to drop debate which was the right decision.

As a former stutter, I could tell when Joe Biden was having issues. You can tell when he was pausing between phrases to deal with the stutter. The key thing is that President Biden overcame this condition and was an amazing POTUS and public leader.

I am glad that President Biden is Keeping the Faith.

And, I'm glad you've persevered like Joe.

His mind will race, and as a natural "fast talker", he wants to get those thoughts out fast, and that is when the stutter will resurface.

And to add insult to injury, the nasty sadistic media will blame that on "cognitive decline" and other armchair diagnosis nonsense.

I grew up with a neighbor whose kids we used to play with and she had a very severe stutter. When stressed, she would get frustrated and almost go silent trying to respond. I don't know if she had ever had any speech therapy (it wasn't really a "thing" for her generation), but from a young age, my sisters and I learned patience, and our calmness at least helped her finish the sentence.

Glad you were able to manage the condition!!

Let the suffering proceed and then maybe even tRumpers will loose faith...no sense in keeping a band-aide on this fool.... The lessons were not learned the first time...so now it gets worse. Yes, we Democrats and many, many good souls fought for him/ tRump to not be elected... we failed.

Now maybe the misery he has in-store for humanity needs to happen to evoke understanding and change...

suggesting that we keep faith in the Trump administration. I believe that he was encouraging us to keep faith in democracy in spite of the fascist MAGAs.

Keeping faith in democracy means not giving up your values in the face of a fascist dictatorship by oligarchs. It could mean opposing them whenever possible. I believe that it means restoring democracy in the long run. To do that, we have to continue believing in it.

Please stick around. We need you.

Besides, it’ll keep a nice big thorn in the donald’s paw.

although faith is a fine thing to have, faith without works is dead.

Nice sentiment, Joe. Now all we need is someone or something in which to place our faith. Some younger, enthusiastic, motivated, and downright mean Dems who aren't afraid to tear into the Repug grift machine like rabid weasels would be nice for a start.

...oh, I am so inspired. Not.
