Joe Biden's recent public appearances have drawn comparisons to being "unstuck in time," a concept from Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five, due to frequent verbal slips regarding his past Senate runs and current Supreme Court nomination plans. During a speech, Biden spelled out the word "water" while discussing China's environmental challenges and potable water scarcity. He further addressed China's competition with the U.S., citing the detention of two million Uyghur Muslims and political unrest in Hong Kong.
