Biden vs. Trump: Let’s Get Ready To Rumble!
[guest post by Dana]
Need a little chuckle in light of the gazillion dollars being added to our debt? Leave it to a couple of old white dudes past their prime to bring it. A couple of mouthy septuagenarians embarrassing themselves without a hint of self-awareness.
Joe Biden spoke at a rally at the University of Miami earlier this week on behalf of his advocacy group, “It’s On Us,” whose mission is to fight against sexual assault on college campuses. During his speech, Biden referenced the notorious Access Hollywood tape and Donald Trump:
“They asked me would I like to debate this gentleman, and I said no. I said, ‘If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him,” said Biden, getting laughter and applause from the crowd[.]
Biden said Tuesday, “I’ve been in a lot of locker rooms my whole life. I’m a pretty damn good athlete.”
He added, “Any guy that talked that way was usually the fattest, ugliest S.O.B. in the room.”
So, tough Joe Biden tells an audience of woke young people at a rally focusing on assault that he would have beat the hell out of the President and they love him for it?And then the damn good athlete, who at 75 does appear to be remarkably fit, smugly fat-shamed the President of the United States. Right. Joe Biden trying to take the moral high ground and being all judgy about Donald Trump:
Of course Trump, never one to let any insult roll off his back, came out swinging:
“Crazy Joe Biden is trying to act like a tough guy. Actually, he is weak, both mentally and physically, and yet he threatens me, for the second time, with physical assault,” Trump tweeted Thursday morning.
“He doesn’t know me, but he would go down fast and hard, crying all the way. Don’t threaten people Joe!” Trump warned.
Donald Trump, who never met a p**** he didn’t feel entitled to grab, and with his own tough guy game of one-upmanship with various world leaders is schooling Biden for acting like a “tough guy,” and accusing him of threatening physical assault? Seriously?
What a couple of idiots. If this is what the crowd squawking about “toxic masculinity” is referring to, I get it now!
Some seem to think this is possibly a clever political strategy for Biden if he runs in 2020:
Taking a tough-guy approach to Trump isn’t a bad macro strategy for 2020. It scratches Democrats’ anti-Trump itch; it panders to women by presenting Biden as their valiant defender; it appeals, in theory, to the working-class voters who responded to Trump’s alpha-male swagger last time; and it distinguishes Biden from a Democratic field whose most formidable candidates are shaping up to be women.
While it could separate Biden from female candidates, he’s already got name recognition and is a familiar face to Americans. Further, it may not be necessary if very early speculation is any kind of indicator of what may come. Simultaneously, a man pandering to Democratic women as a “valiant defender,” even when pushing back against macho Trump, doesn’t seem like it would impress the sort of women who support Kamala Harris, Kirsten Gillibrand and Elizabeth Warren (if they are the women running in 2020). Do female supporters really want to signal they need a man to fight their battles of sexism for them – even when it involves Trump? I just can’t see women on the left being sucked into tough guy Joe Biden’s candidacy over any number of females who might run. Especially when “creepy Joe Biden photos” can be found on the internet as easily as “Donald Trump sexual allegations” or “Donald Trump sexism” reports. Women just wouldn’t fall for that. Oh. Wait.

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 3/24/2018 @ 9:33 amBiden’s deals and family connections are extremely relevant:
1. If Biden runs for office, or
2. When Trump’s DOJ investigates Clinton, Obama, Biden, et al, for corruption — which for some reason Trump doesn’t want it to do.
Or both, but neither has happened yet. I’m glad 1 hasn’t happened. I hope 2 does but that’s up to Trump and all he cares about is Mueller.

Got to hand it to Biden, out creeping a Clinton that’s a rare gift. It can’t be taught.

narciso (c4f62b) — 3/24/2018 @ 10:16 amTrump is more Democrat than Republican when it comes to temperament.
AZ Bob (f60c80) — 3/24/2018 @ 10:29 amOh stop it. This is just a light-hearted post demonstrating the equal-ridiculousness of two old men trying to out-macho each other. Two ridiculous old men with women problems. This is not endorsing Dems or Republicans, not making one out as worse than the other, and certainly not evidence of any silly “Pattericotown” nonsense. If anything, it shows the unfortunate caliber of person leading, and wanting to lead our country.
Dana (023079) — 3/24/2018 @ 10:39 amThere are no indearing posts about trump, the solon of scranton has a record taking payoffs from the subprime cartel, one of his staffers paid a 250 k for unreported campaign contributions.

Trump should be so lucky! black democrats who are third of democrat party and white bernie bros won’t vote for a old white corporate democrat.

Ain’t no sound but the sound of their feet,
their fuses ready to blow
Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the Congress the bullschiff flows
To the sound of the beat
Another damn omnibus
Another damn omnibus
Never hold your breath, never hold your breath
Another damn omnibus
Or hold it ‘til your face turns blue
Another damn omnibus
How do you think we’re gonna get along
Without it when it’s gone?
They took us for everything we had
And fvcked us on teh White House lawn
Are you happy, are you satisfied?
How long can we take teh strain
Out of the coffers the money flies
Steady as a pouring rain
Another damn omnibus
Another damn omnibus
Never hold your breath, never hold your breath
Another damn omnibus
Or hold it ‘til your face turns blue
Another damn omnibus
This is just a light-hearted post demonstrating the equal-ridiculousness of two old men trying to out-macho each other.

DRJ (15874d) — 3/24/2018 @ 2:17 pmThanks, DRJ, prolly “or something”, lol…
Colonel Haiku (ed0bb1) — 3/24/2018 @ 2:20 pmKnow what, Colonel? You’ve got a purty mouth.
Naw, just kidding. You’re ugly.
I like how you incorporated the idea that Trump is never going to get another chance.
This day will never come again. Donald screwed the pooch, or the porn star.
I don’t think the President gets that yet.
Pat’s musical department needs to set “Another Damn Omnibus” to music.
papertiger (c8116c) — 3/24/2018 @ 2:53 pmDig up Freddie Mercury to do the vocals.
joebiden isn’t someone you take srsly whereas President Trump did tax cuts all up in it and made a big difference for a lot of people who needed a break there
they said it couldn’t be done but he did it anyway
not sure why pedophile Mitt Romney’s slicked-up boytoy thought we should pair tax cuts with a spending explosion though
but economics have never really been Paul Ryan’s thing

Kind of filling Pennsylvania Ave. (with a generous interpretation of “filling”)
Here’s a pic. And some video.
papertiger (c8116c) — 3/24/2018 @ 4:22 pmhappyfeet,
You and I may not take Joe Biden seriously, but if you read the link in post, Democrats are at least looking favorably on him. Also, he is not an unskilled nor unseasoned politician by any stretch of the imagination. After 4 years of Trump, Democrats are desperate. And rescue may come by none other than creeper Joe.
Dana (023079) — 3/24/2018 @ 4:33 pmi look at it through what happened to bernie
how he was so completely over-the-top egregiously screwed over by hillary and the feral poodle woman
they have to do penance for that before nominating another white male
that’s not me saying this it’s just that’s how they think (i think)
plus daddy soros likes him some drippy sticky cameltoe
happyfeet (28a91b) — 3/24/2018 @ 4:37 pmI have no musical ability but I appreciate talent, even if I don’t know how it develops. You must work at it and maybe some God-given ability, too?

Plug and play. Just stick in your lyric.

A neurologist (Oliver Sacks?) wrote that the most important thing is to start young. In childhood, with the window closing by around age 20.
nk (dbc370) — 3/24/2018 @ 9:54 pmOne thing about Biden: He didn’t distort the comment taht Donald trump made on that Access Hollywood tape.
he didn’t mae it, as many Democrats wanted to, a confession or claim that eh assaulted women. Biden was very clear that Trump sasid that they liked it.
Very, very fair.
If only all Democrats were like this.
Biden also acknowledged taht trump said that was locker room talk – i.e. a lie.
He added
“Any guy that talked that way was usually the fattest, ugliest S.O.B. in the room.”
That may be true, but the case of Trump is different. He didn’t say that because he had no success whatsoever with women.
