The knives are out for Joe Biden. To read some of the media accounts, Biden is the latest politician to run afoul of the “MeToo” era. His accusers have followed the usual script, “breaking their silence” after much introspection. They insist they want the truth to come out. What truth? Biden is handsy. And, to borrow a Bidenism, this is a big f?-?-?- ing deal. But is it? The allegation that he’s too physically familiar with people —

Never-Trump Goldberg is out to rehabilitate Biden, who is out of touch with reality. Biden was in the U.S. Senate for almost all of his regular working years (till he became VP). He is remarkably unaccomplished. He adores himself and that´s it. He hasn´t done anything.

Sniffing and hugging is not the story.
Check out what Joe did for son Hunter in Ukraine and China.
He can´t overcome these stories. The Democrat leaders, and Obama, know it.

Oh yes, the "knives are out". But, who is behind the attack? And why? Biden is no threat to win the nomination, so apparently the goal is to pare down the candidate field. He hasn´t declared and it has always been my opinion that he wasn´t going to do so, anyway. He thought he could enjoy the media dance until the final minute when he reluctantly declines to run. We´ve seen this movie before.

Right now it´s just a ploy to sell newsprint.

Jonah, nothing you stated change the fact that JB has used his Political standing as Senator and Vuce President to intimidate and molest women, girls and a man now and then. Who in a public forum would pull away or slap a Vice President of the United zstates. His actions are intimidating.

Hard to believe but crazy joe is about the only semi-rational candidate to emerge from the democrat clown car - he’s too normal for today’s dimm party and he has to go to make way for the hardcore lunatics on the left.

On the very slim possibility that this slimy retread could even get elected, I think we should look very hard at his wife Jill. Biden could well end up like Warren G. Harding.

I know I don´t like him, but that doesn´t matter. All this is nearly word for word what was done to Kavanaugh. It has been scripted by someone behind the scenes.
I do know that I no longer believe sexual assault victims. The democrats have proven that they certainly do lie.

FTA: [Biden] misuses the word “literally”
Heh, that´s one of my bugaboos too. And Biden only magnifies the misuse by insisting he doesn´t mean "figuratively."
However I disagree with Jonah that Biden is "not a socialist."
What Biden IS, is pure opportunist. No matter what words he uses to describe himself, he will be just as much a socialist as the non-traditional Dem candidates –if that´s what he thinks his audience wants to hear.

#5 Exactly no different than Senator Ted Kennedy and Senator Chris Dodd giving unsuspecting waitresses a waitress sandwich a form of sexual assault performed and condoned by Democrats for years!

It sickens me to see "conservatives" defend this creep. Biden´s handsiness isn´t just friendly "reaching out." The pictures of Biden groping women and little girls don´t lie - they didn´t like it, but were not in a position to punch his lights out (as he deserved). The man is a creep.

Jonah mentions one of my pet peeves. People who use the word "decimate" when they mean "devastate." In the first Mummy movie Boris Karloff plays a character named Ardath Bey whose response to a person trying to shake his hand: "I dislike being touched. It is an Eastern prejudice." Am not fond of touching people. When you shake hands you are exchanging possible diseases. The fact that Plugs touches and smells doesn´t bother me. I had a dog that did the same thing. Why I hate The Delaware Dummy is because he destroyed Judge Robert Bork and Tried to Destroy Judge Clarence Thomas. Whoever has the knives out for him please sharpen them.

Joe Biden is an old time bloviating liberal Democrat lawyer-politician who has been in DC for well over 40 years. He has never had a job other than being a liberal Democrat politician. If he is elected President, the country will have essentially elected an Obama third term, as the people who would make up a Biden Administration will essentially be the same liberal and socialists who made up the failed Obama Administration. It would be goodbye Trump economy.
Biden may well be the last old line White liberal Democrat male who the Democrats will nominate for President, as the Democrat Party is moving far to the left and is essentially becoming the preeminent socialist political party in the USA.
If Biden does run, because of his advanced age he will pledge to be a one term President, and whatever Democrat socialist, who will be a minority, that the Democrats nominate as the Vice-Presidential candidate on a Biden ticket, will be the future of the Democrats in the 2024 and 2028 elections. You can safely bet on that.
The Democrats do not have a viable political agenda. That’s why all the Democrats can do is to use innuendo to personally accuse, attack, investigate, and smear President Trump.

Joe Biden won two elections. One in 1970 to a county council seat and then three years later to the US Senate. His net worth is estimated at between a negative amount and $800K. He has no stocks or bonds and a low four figure savings account.
Joe calls himself “the poorest man in congress.” He has been in the Senate for 46 year and managed not to invest a nickel in our nation’s economy with opportunities and sure-thing tips all around him. You don’t have to be crooked to get rich in the Senate, just alert and listening. Joe can’t even manage that and he wants to be running America’s economy.

What is important is that the knives are out. An enemies difficulties are a good outcome.

Joe is as close to "normal" as the dems can get. (I think he is major creepy.) But the dems are not into normal. Time to cut Uncle Joe loose.

I used to always go to read what Jonah had to say.
But, after so much just garbage that he has put out, I just have gotten to where I really don´t trust or care what he says any more.
I am kinda sad about it, but it is true. He has soured me on his brand.
I´m not even going to bother on this, probably something we could agree on.

Jonah, seriously? He would be a "formidable nominee." Jonah hates PT with all his heart and he thinks Joe would be formidable? Egads.
