Do you ever get a text that starts like this? “Hi, (Craig). Joe Biden here, asking you for your support in the upcoming election….”
Anyone’s first thought would be that the president of the United States is most definitely not sending out text messages, and that’s a good thing, considering that his time would be better spent on arenas related to world peace, managing Russia’s unprovoked attack on Eastern Europe, growing the job market, controlling inflation, and moving the nation forward in climate change mitigation.
Similarly, the advertisement shown above was not written by Biden, but the reason I’m confident in that is a different one: it invokes the grammatical prowess of perhaps a 7th grade kid who’s struggling with English.
“Myself” is a reflexive pronoun, and is not a substitute for the word “I,” which is the subjective first person singular pronoun. Also, if there is more than one subject of the sentence, as is the case here, “I” belongs as the last one.
How often does this happen? How about never?
Trump loves to say that little boys go to school and come back home little girls.
He’s the most powerful person in the world for exactly one reason: We’re a nation of morons.
Two comments:
That the United States has homeless veterans is a national (and international) disgrace.
By definition, no one has the legal right to enter the U.S. illegally, but according to our constitution, everyone in America is entitled to due process.
This will result in lung disease, climate change, loss of biodiversity, and higher electricity prices.
It will also further alienate the rest of the world from our country, as every other nation on the planet is making gains in the direction of decarbonization, and no other nation suffers from this level of corruption with the fossil fuel industry.
If that pleases you, you’re a warped human being.
