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.

Ha! Exactly.
Republicans are counting on the idea that the average American is so ignorant that he can’t distinguish between the governments of modern-day North Korea and Norway.
This is how far we’ve fallen, and in just a few years.
What’s next?
