Q: Why does Biden whine about an (sic) stolen election?
A: Of all the Republican accufessions, this must rank as the most ridiculous I’ve seen yet. Almost as if it was generated by artificial imbecility.

Donald Trump calls Biden "Sleepy Joe," when it's actually Trump who can't stay awake in meetings. The epithet "Sleepy Joe" is an accufession. The word can also be used as a verb, as in "Donald Trump accufessed that Joe Biden falls asleep in meetings."
