So now in the USA Democrat voters have three candidates to choose from for President:
– Senile Joe
– Creepy Joe
– Racist Joe
The last one has really turned on the taps of racist stupidity in the last week after his infamous “You Ain’t Black” brain explosion about Blacks voting for the Republicans. This later led the host of the radio show on which Biden blurted this, Charlamagne tha God, to say that:
“Dems have to worry about voter depression, and that’s people staying home on Election Day because they just aren’t enthused by the candidate”.
Not enthused you say? Really?
Racism, straight up.
For years now, Joe Biden has got away with gaffes and behaviour that’s simply been dismissed as “Oh, that’s just Joe” (chuckle).
And unfortunately for America he’ll likely continue to get away with this in his campaign for President.
His primary accuser, Tara Reade, is already finding out the Democrats and the MSM will only praise you if you make accusations against a Republican, otherwise you’re the target, and you can look forward to being destroyed in the media.
It’s been a bit of an eye-opener for more than just Ms Reade, as she openly wondered on Twitter why the MSM refused to interview or ask questions of Biden for days after her accusation surfaced. But she surely got the message when she started getting Tweets like the following from a prominent “feminist” attorney:
Nothing new here. Way back in 2008, in the notorious Right Wing magazine CounterPunch filed an article by Alt-Righter Alexander Cockburn, that really let Biden have it:
Biden is a notorious flapjaw. His vanity deludes him into believing that every word that drops from his mouth is minted in the golden currency of Pericles. Vanity is the most conspicuous characteristic of US Senators en bloc, nourished by deferential acolytes and often expressed in loutish sexual advances to staffers, interns and the like. On more than one occasion CounterPunch’s editors have listened to vivid accounts by the recipient of just such advances, this staffer of another senator being accosted by Biden in the well of the senate in the weeks immediately following his first wife’s fatal car accident.
His behaviour is so well-known that even his supporters don’t bother denying it:
… the [a former Secret Service] agent asserted that, “We had to cancel the VP Christmas get together at the Vice President’s house because Biden would grope all of our wives and girlfriend’s asses.” The annual party was for agents and Navy personnel who were tasked with protecting the Biden family.
“He would mess with every single woman or teen. It was horrible,” the agent said.
According to the source, a Secret Service agent once got suspended for a week in 2009 for shoving Biden after he cupped his girlfriend’s breast while the couple was taking a photo with him. The situation got so heated, the source told Cassandra Fairbanks, that others had to step in to prevent the agent from hitting the then–Vice President.
Additionally, the agent claims that Biden would walk around the VP residence naked at night. “I mean, Stark naked… Weinstein level stuff,”
It’s called being entitled.
And now a group has put together a video of years of Biden fondling young woman and little girls and overlaid on it a general talk by one Professor Anthony Zenkus who studies sexual violence. As a dedicated member of the Far Left Zenkus will probably be horrified at how his talk about boundaries and “grooming” is being applied to Biden, but the descriptions of what you’re watching are brutally accurate.
No Minister 
Psycho is at least being consistent in that he believes both Tara Reade and Christine Blasey Ford.
\”Believe\” is a strong word. I think claims like this have to be taken seriously, and certainly shouldn't result in oppo research being carried out on the complainants to find propaganda material against them.
However, Kavanaugh's unfit for office not because Blasey Ford made allegations against him, but because his response to her allegations showed incredibly poor judgement, which is a pretty big fail in an interview for becoming a top judge. Clarence Thomas faced a similar accusation and handled it like a judge; Kavanaugh handled it like a spoilt frat boy, with a blustering tirade that demonstrated self-pity, lack of self control, a short temper, lack of respect for the gravity of the event he was attending and extreme political partisanship.
Blasey Ford merely provided him with the opportunity to demonstrate just how grossly unfit for office he is. The Republicans put him into office anyway, which is unsurprising since they also consider Trump fit for office.
@ Snowflake And Trump’s presidency was born of a jackal. No midwives were present
Atta boy, Snowie. No doubt in your mind such edginess gains you revolutionary cred among the other radicals who drink down at your local. However, I can’t get the image of Rik Mayall in full beret-wearing, lip-curled Young Ones/People’s Poet mode out of my mind. So the $64,000 question: does your schtick ever get you laid?
@ Wayne MappYou are really stretching here. Are we supposed to believe from your article that Trump is obviously a better choice than Biden?I don't think you are going to convince very many people on that particular proposition.
You didn't ask me but as this is an open forum, I'll bite. I find it fascinating that despite Trump being elected POTUS in 2016 when people like you (and me and Tom for that matter!) were saying \”almost impossible, and with him being the favorite (IMHO) to be re-elected in 2020 (although the \”events\” of Covid make any prediction fraught with uncertainty, and maybe even winning the popular vote in 2020, that you are so presumptuous to speak on behalf of others, \”very many people\”.
Given your arrogance as an apostle here on behalf of the political status quo, I don't think its anyone's job to try and \”convince\” you of anything. But nonetheless I throw the following into the mix: Leave aside the politics, or even their respective track records and take Trump and Biden – as most Americans will do – as they encounter them via their public profile (which is about the only way most voters get to \”decide\”): Trump is an obvious grandiose narcissist to those who have encountered them before and/or are aware of the tells. But that doesn't necessarily compromise his competence, indeed if that was a disqualification for political office I'd wager some 50% of so-called \”great\” leaders would be missing from the pantheon, and a substantial portion of out own parliament would be vacated.
Note: I'm not saying Trump is great. At all. But typical of the fetid atmosphere when he is discussed that I feel it necessary to give that caveat.
I digress…In contrast, leave aside the spin and gas lighting and those running interference on Biden's behalf (AKA PR), and even forget for a moment that he is running for POTUS, and just take an approach like you would with Phenomenology and isolate your raw unvarnished \”gut\” reaction to the Biden as we've encountered him this year: seems a nice guy, would maybe get him to babysit the grand kids, but there is the sneaking suspicion if you also got him to change their nappies and put the chicken for dinner in the oven, it could end in tragedy.
OK, I'm exaggerating, but while he's a seemingly sweet old guy, maybe previously capable, he's the sort of person we have all meet – no longer capable of complex and pressured executive roles. Hence…not sufficiently competent.
And just to round it out, again, leaving aside the politics and the spin and the track record, if you added Bernie Sanders to the mix and went with that same gut reaction…he's more competent than Trump.
@ Snowie
All maybe true…yet strangely, bafflingly, the man beat out an allegedly even more competent Democratic candidate than Biden in 2016. Trump may – no, let me correct that – IS a snake oil salesman, indeed that may be his only intentional competency, but he is still a very effective salesman.
And ok, for the sake of engagement I’ll even indulge your political Tourette’s Syndrome and grant he’s a better thief and crook than Clinton or Biden when it comes to stealing elections. If so, then irrespective of any hypothetical validity in your analysis of the man, what is there in the Democratic strategy and candidate that is significantly any different from 2016?
And now Trump has the massive advantage of incumbency and he has the political cunning to know…you don’t ever play defence. Definition of insanity: repeating the same failed approach expecting a different result.
Also, always baffled that “burning cities” are supposedly direct a legacy of Trump’s presidency, yet when the same thing occurred on the watch of progressive darlings like Woodrow Wilson (the “Red Summer” of 1919 – after a pandemic too, btw) Lyndon Johnson and Barack Obama in Ferguson, well, yes, other “complex” reasons (refer to Eggie’s latest silliness on another thread), moving along…
Can’t believe I end up seemingly going into bat for such a flawed politician and man as Donald Trump, Snowie, but picking the holes in your blind partisanship masquerading as commentary is just so much fun. I can see why Tom Hunter trolls for it, because your lack of self-awareness is as amusing as a terrier chasing its tail.
No, Tommy, the American people recognise in sufficient numbers where the buck stops, even if the guy you deify doesn’t. He and you will try and blame the states and Democratic Governors because that’s the only trick you can play, but in the case of a pandemic at least a coordinated federal response is needed and has been missing. The power of incumbency infers a record to run on, and he hasn’t got one other than a series of scandals, economic collapse, social unrest, death and disasters. That won’t prevent you from gaslighting on his behalf, but it will stop him from winning.
Kimbo should give us a run down on the red summer and its consequences so we can see just how deceptive he’s being. Plus Ferguson happened after Obama’s election to a second term and the 1968 riots happened four years after Johnson’s election and at the election following both the presidency changed parties. As it did in 1992 after LA, which is probably more instructive here. That’s not a good omen is it ladies?
Trump is uniquely ill-qualified for th dismantled the pandemic response team, destroyed the very thing that gave the the dispossessed hope.. Obamcare, then paid no heed to how communities of colour bore the brunt of its health and economic consequences. As unrest now grips dozens of cities, he speaks an authoritarian language of “thugs”, “vicious dogs” and “when the looting starts, the shooting starts”.He doesn’t have a clue. He’s a TV personality. He has a cult following that’s centred around this white power broker persona rooted in white supremacy and racism. Wherever he goes, he carries that role and that kind of persona, but ultimately right now with what we’re looking for in this country is real leadership. He is incapable of providing that because that’s not who he is.What is astonishing is that people like Paranormal think he is the man for the job. Petrie Dish
In Tommy's world you must either believe all women, or like him, believe that all of them, including the 20 odd whom Trump has abused, including his ex wife, are liars. No middle ground or nuance is permitted. This is of course just a tactic to avoid having to defend the appalling conduct of his hero, so smacks of cowardice. What a POS.
Oh dear Kimbo. 1983 called. It wants its cultural references back. So edgy!Is every last woman a liar, Tommy? All of them? Or just Blasey Ford and Reade?
Tom,You are really stretching here. Are we supposed to believe from your article that Trump is obviously a better choice than Biden? I don't think you are going to convince very many people on that particular proposition.While I think the Dems should have been able to get a better candidate than Biden, obviously the Dem primary voters thought he was the best. And at least in my mind, Biden is way better than Trump.If you going to set out why Trump is better than Biden, you are going to have to do a lot better than this.
I'm sure Tommy will point to Trump's record. A botched pandemic response costing 110,000 lives and counting, an unparalleled economic crisis with no recovery plan and now the cities are on fire. Four more years!
Kimbo … balanced response to Wayne M.
Wayne Mapp, to double down on Kimbo, you haven’t spotted the issue. You’re an ex National Minister, clearly part of the establishment, promoting the establishment candidate (not that I believe what we say here impacts on any US voters).That is why Trump will win again. Seeing the ‘best’ candidate the establishment can put forward, the “deplorables” are going to come out strongly for Trump. He will have an increased majority this election. There will be Democrats who will stay at home rather than hold their nose and vote Biden. Same too with Republicans that can’t stand Trump but will refuse to vote Biden. You’ll end up with the party faithful voting for their colours, then the unwashed masses voting for ‘their’ antiestablishment guy that will swing the election. All barring “events” of course. Mind you Trump has a way of making all events play for him.Paranormal
Christ alive, Kimbo, Trump can’t even drink a bottle of water with one hand and thinks the revolutionary armed forces included an airforce, and yet Biden isn’t sufficiently competent? Besides you have evidence of Trump’s inability to govern right in front of you in the form of over 100,000 dead bodies, economic collapse and burning cities. And I haven’t even mentioned his malignant narcissism. It’s no contest.
If it makes you feel any better Kimbo, I don't bother responding to Snowflake very much now because a comment like the following… Besides you have evidence of Trump’s inability to govern right in front of you in the form of over 100,000 dead bodies, economic collapse and burning cities.… indicates that either hea) doesn't know about Federalism – in which case he's too stupid to debate ORb) does understand Federalism and is just doing particularly stupid trolling – in which case he's not worth debating.
Petrie Dish, you are truly ignorant if you think Obamacare was the solution. It was the thing that cemented Trumps election.You also need to stop reading stuff in people’s comments that aren’t there. But then again comprehension isn’t your thing, is it Egbut?Paranormal
