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

Maybe it’s good that Biden is comfortable saying un-PC things as it signals he isn’t part of the scolding, educated, coastal liberal class. It is this population voters really hate, and not just white voter

I vote and I like us a lot

As a rootless cosmopolitan coastal elite latte sipping Goddamn Jew liberal I don’t particularly care about what the supposed un-PC majority thinks of me!

none of us would be elected president

lol every day i read the threads here and think 'thank g-d these ppl aren't in charge"

middle-American and Southern and rust-belt voters don't think of me at all, let alone think anything about me, but I think they should all have health care, housing, transport infrastructure and access to multiple sources of free press

but not guns, nor billionaires to stan

fuck your freedoms, I guess

yeah, things are much better with the guys we have now

mods, how many flagged posts does Trump have?

NEW: Former VP Joe Biden just dialed into a U.S. Black Chamber call and addressed his remarks to Charlamagne tha God. Biden said, "I shouldn't have been such a wise guy. I shouldn't have been so cavalier...I have never, ever taken the African American community for granted."

that's a good apology, to be honest. i'll bet this is a net plus for him.

I shouldn't have been such a wise guy/I shouldn't have been so cav-a-lieeeeeer

i'll bet this is a net plus for him

55d chess baby

I was not expecting the Tara Reade story to collapse as quickly as it has this week.

“I have never, ever taken the African American community for granted” O RLY

He gets in a good, reasoned, appropriately contrite statement but he just can’t end it there. He has to throw in this self-serving bullshit at the end. He can’t help himself.

Narcissists gonna narciss, I guess

Joe Biden has always been a racist piece of shit, news at 11.

Joe Biden sucks.

I want to send a bag of dog poop to every asshole who’s talked about the White Men of the Left and then lined up to kiss this asshole’s wingtips.

let alone kissing that wingtip's asshoe

in case anyone is curious about what would make vote 3d party -- or not at all -- for president, it is this. and i am saying this as someone who would vote for lieberman if the republican was much worse. everytime you use yer credit cards, you pay for this assclown's campaign.
that said, i anticipate that he won't even come close to winning the nomination.

this thread hasn't changed since its first post nearly fifteen years ago

Sometimes instead of reading this thread I watch this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLeUt-jBE4Y

xp that's because joe biden hasn't changed, never has, never will, jack

Untrue, he's definitely encountered some cognitive decline over the past decade and a half

That Aubrey Plaza clip is really funny...Honest question: is she parodying that kind of whatever-spaciness, or is that how she really is? Either way it's funny.

That is fairly mild from her - I think she's been this way since she had a stroke aged 20. There's a good compilation of talkshow clips on youtube called "Aubrey Plaza is really WEIRD and...AWKWARD. I love it!" Anyway she is brilliant and better than Joe Biden in every way.

Fast work. Trump campaign is already selling "You ain't black" shirts for $30. https://t.co/6ZouwVf37H

Hopefully some MAGAs get the shit kicked out of them for wearing that.

The only good thing about that cringe-worthy Biden comment is that it may corner him into picking Kamala Harris (or Abrams, but I'm still hoping for Harris).

Condoleeza Rice probably isn't doing much these days.

lol

Condoleeza has a sweet seat on the College Football Playoffs selection board. I'mm going to take a wild guess and say she's got several other lucrative sinecures, sitting on a variety of Fortune 500 corporate boards. Those corporations tend to stockpile ex-cabinet level 'retirees' like self-isolating Costco shoppers stockpile toilet paper.

condoleeza rice no, but susan rice I would be happy with

milo, your thread is too long

oh lord

The lawyer for Tara Reade, the former Senate aide who has accused Joseph R. Biden Jr. of sexual assault, said Friday that he was no longer representing her, just two weeks after taking her on as a client. https://t.co/NvkQ3vWf07

— Scott Wong (@scottwongDC) May 22, 2020

That phrasing makes it clear that the decision to part ways was made by her counsel, not her. Isn't that unusual once a lawyer has accepted a client's case?

OK. Re-reading the tweet, it's less than clear who decided to part ways..

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/21/us/politics/tara-reade-credentials.html?smid=tw-share

Well, her ex-lawyer said all the right things so as not to make his dropping Reade as a client appear to be prejudicial against her, but it is very difficult not to draw inferences about his conclusions concerning the viability of her case.

yeah especially given that extra little message about the political double standard... clearly he was itching for another Dem target to "balance" things out

i'll bet this is a net plus for him

I'm not 100% convinced this won't be his 'deplorables' moment

(But as clemenza said, this might mean that he has to choose Harris for VP, who I'm not a huge fan of but who I think is the best out of a meh bunch)

Anyways watch this instead of thinking about Charlamagne

For the second time in two months, Emanuel this week was a guest on the “Hacks on Tap” podcast, co-hosted by longtime friend and fellow Obama administration alum and Chicagoan David Axelrod and veteran GOP political strategist Mike Murphy.

the Hacks Institute is prepping a lawsuit

To think people were worried about Corbyn's age, Biden looks old enough to be his dad.

glad coronavirus has freed us from the ordeal of there being a presidential campaign to pay attention to at least
