Joe Biden, Senator from Citibank (oops, DELAWARE), to Run for President

DJP otm

on everything

I offended them when I pointed that while they were gay they were also two old white dudes.

lol

and belgians

Ahhhh, the Belgians were gay. Not Biden and Trump. Thought I missed some announcement.

Joe just reversed himself on Hyde Amendment.

^^^ the kind of incisive satire that's earned Perrin his status ("Dennis who?") in the world of comedy.

I think Dennis Miller has that corner on lock.

it's just a tweet, you silly nonentity xp

just learned that Symone Sanders is working on Biden's campaign, which is very disappointing but not altogether unsurprising, I did have a sneaking suspicion even when she was working for Bernie that she sucked.

lol @ the replies

Stark horror at the replies. So many srs pizzagate and Obama-not-American cheer squads.

Biden: I’m all for making the minimum age 15, like Bernie!

Obama: Joe, he said WAGE. Minimum WAGE! pic.twitter.com/ezcV03kjpp

what a fuckin rube

Biden at a fundraiser tonight, on his desire to work with the Republican Party post Trump.

“With Trump gone you’re going to begin to see things change. Because these folks know better. They know this isn’t what they’re supposed to be doing."

they do know better about Biden

wtf

.@JoeBiden in Ottumwa, Iowa: "I promise you if I'm elected president, you're going to see the single most important thing that changes America — we're going to cure cancer."

um

wow, that is something

I've not particularly enjoyed the jibes at older candidates mental faculties, but that from Joe either down the line out there craziness or super cynical. What was the reaction like? does it say, I can;'t click through

we're going to cure cancer

So, Joe Biden finally found his signature issue. iirc, Nixon also made this claim. It's evergreen.

sounds like joe knows the cure but won't tell us unless he wins? not unlike trump's plan for syria

i wonder if there was a massive federal push for this -- i'm talking the same focus that went toward going to the moon, or developing the atomic bomb -- if it could actually happen. ditto AIDs. and ditto renewable energy that is truly cheap.

life imitates art, if your definition of art is expansive enough to include a 2003 chris rock is president movie

i don't hear any other candidates talking about curing cancer! they must be PRO-CANCER!

i wonder if there was a massive federal push for this

First, there has been a massive federal push for cancer research since 1972. It has done some good, but is far from "curing cancer" after nearly 50 years.

Landing a person on the moon and getting them back safely was almost entirely a logistical problem. Complex, sure, but it boils down to moving something from 'here' to 'there' and back again. Curing cancer apparently boils down to understanding the myriad workings of the human body at the molecular level, then intervening at the molecular level to fix whatever is misfiring. This, in an organism with tens of billions of cells, many of them highly specialized.

under joe biden, we'll cure cancer, but only if you can afford it

ottumwa is a massively depressing place iirc
he walzes in there and promises to cure cancer?
wtf

Treesh renewable energy is already cheaper than fossil fuels

waltzes i mean
smh @ this guy

i apprec the personal attention, Joe, but no

means testing for cancer cures
tax advantaged savings accounts for cancer treatment

"Biden is going to cure cancer" is going to be the new "Al Gore invented the internet."

ottumwa is a massively depressing place iirc

I almost choked laughing at this

imo marianne williamson should double down on this claim and appear in a town a little ways east of there and claim she's going to cure cancer RIGHT NOW through the power of group meditation

does no one else remember that barack obama, i think in the last year of his presidency, said biden was going to lead an initiative to cure cancer? i think during his last SOTU, maybe?

so yeah, biden's been working on this for 3 years now, he must be getting close

https://time.com/4178412/cancer-state-of-the-union-barack-obama-sotu/

I read the last four letters as "stfu"

America knows Ottumwa (if at all) as the home of MASH's fictional Radar O'Reilly

he walzes in there and promises to cure cancer?

christoph waltz is very disappointed in you

I’m disappointed in myself too!! MH — laughing bc it’s true??!! Jumping into Ottumwa and promising to cure cancer seems very snake oil sales, it’s so gross!

we'll (attempt to) cure (some) cancer(s)!!

I think we can find some common ground with cancer once Trump is gone. Maybe we can compromise, convince it to stop killing kids.

Here is Biden’s answer when I asked why he’s so confident that the Republicans who blocked the Obama-Biden agenda wouldn’t just block the Biden agenda if he beat Trump. pic.twitter.com/QKsRy3XdL3

should've just said "because I'm white"

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-national-poll-says-bidens-lead-over-trump-is-of-landslide-proportions/

i don't know shit about polling fyi

Should be noted that the same poll also showed “landslide” margins for sanders, and to a slightly lesser extent warren and harris

Also the leading polls said trump had a 2% chance of winninf or somethinf right until the end

i remain confident that it is still june 2019
