How to use lame in a sentence?
[Biden] opened up huge problems with this answer, joe just lame-ducked himself in front of our allies, in front of our enemies. They could just wait him out if he's only going to be around for maybe three more years.
I’d like to punch him in his face, when you see that, that’s your first reaction, right? I don’t care if you’re right. I don’t care what his excuse is, that just is your first reaction. To me, that’s a lame excuse. … Just because you’re right doesn’t make you right for doing it.
The community center, the church right here, they do what they can for us, and we appreciate that, when I was younger, I really didn't understand what the stuff they was doing. I was like, ‘Ah, it's lame.’ But now as I'm older, and I understand everything, I be like, ‘It's everything for a reason.’.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell:
The president nominates. The Senate confirms. The American people should have a voice, not this lame duck president out the door.
I think in the lame duck, there will be a major opportunity to address this in a definitive way, and I don't think we should underestimate the importance of the work that was done in the Senate when they had their immigration exercise and the work that we did here, that all sets up a possible resolution to all of this after the election. Which would be something to celebrate for sure.
