Agreed. Biden's been this way his whole career. In that way he's always been genuine, and I kind of like that. Not sure if I like that in a President, but at least he's not pretending or putting on airs.89Hen wrote:That's the thing Kalm, this is really nothing new for Uncle Joe. This is him.

Yeah. Because he's old. IMO, we should cap the age you can be in public service at 70. Or at least 75. Especially when we're talking about positions of leadership. Nothing wrong about just retiring.kalm wrote:Gaffs are one thing but he seems noticeably slower than he used to be.GannonFan wrote:

Kirsten Gillibrand Drops Out of Democratic Presidential Race
Source: New York Times
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, who presented herself in the presidential race as a champion of women and families, said Wednesday that she was withdrawing from the Democratic primary after failing to qualify for a third debate next month — a development she described as fatal to her candidacy.
Ms. Gillibrand said in an interview that she would endorse another candidate in the primary but had not yet picked a favorite. Though she stopped short of saying she would endorse a woman, Ms. Gillibrand, who has made electing women to Congress a personal cause, said the next president had to be capable of uniting the country and suggested that a woman might be best suited for the job.
“I think that women have a unique ability to bring people together and heal this country,” Ms. Gillibrand said, adding, “I think a woman nominee would be inspiring and exciting.”
But she added: “I will support whoever the nominee is, and I will do whatever it takes to beat Trump.”

The only candidate who managed to piss off every arm of the Democratic party except for nutters who think getting a president with a vagina is our most pressing issue.

Trump and Biden tend to embellish things,
He's constantly lying to his cult about building the wall. He lied about the impacts of the tax cut. He lies about the economy. He lies about who is paying the tariffs. He lies about the media. Just on and on. He lies WAY more than Obama ever did. He even lies more than Bill Clinton did.
He literally is a "lies every time he opens his mouth" type of person.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?
