Joe Biden had a little outburst today, after a construction worker asked him about the Second Amendment:
“You are actively trying to end our Second Amendment right and take away our guns,” the man told Biden as the candidate greeted workers building a Fiat-Chrysler assembly plant.
“You’re full of sh**,” Biden responded. A Biden aide tried to end the discussion, but the candidate silenced her in order to continue speaking with the worker. “I support the Second Amendment … from the very beginning. I have a shotgun. I have a 20-gauge, a 12-gauge. My sons hunt,” he said.

This is not good for the Demonic Duo, Billary, aka The PRIAPS. The Sowron needs Biden to get the nomination, name her as veep, spread brain cells and BS for a few weeks, and THEN crash and burn, leaving her to waltz in as the Sus Machina to save the day. And this with little or no campaign bother, up until...and even after!...that point. After all, it's time for a Tub-o-Gutsy woman.

Insulting a voter is one thing. Threatening physical assault is something else again, as mild a threat as it was (slap him ?)
Joe you are in fact right about one thing. You do not presently work for us. You are in the job application process and it ain't looking promising.

I haven’t read Cooke for a long, long time. It is obvious that he still writes with one eye on putting out a jab or three at President Trump. In this article he lies. President Trump has never - to the best of my knowledge - had a profanity-laced shouting match at an individual attending one of his rallies (or anywhere else), nor has he threatened them with a slap in the face or other physical harm.
Cooke is either making this stuff up, misremembering (his own dementia?), or following a generic party line, a template, handed to him by others.
I will happily go back to ignoring him. Would be happy to see him go home to the UK, although they may not want him either.

Plugs has stepped in it again, big time.
I left the Detroit area 33 years ago, but I was always around a bunch of auto workers. Every one of them LOVED guns, and had a boatload of them. They all know Biden promised to appoint Beto to help him with "the gun problem", and they all know what it means. Trump will have an easy time in Michigan this fall.

Feel sorry for the construction worker. He could lose his job for critiquing Quid Pro Joe who is now the anointed one. Plugs son Snorter hunts but he doesn't use a shotgun. Back when Slick and The Beast invested the White House the Bent One had a Surgeon General named Joycelyn Elders who, among other things, advocated teaching Pleasuring Oneself in public school curriculums. SNL, which was funny back then, had a sketch showing a hook being used to drag Joycelyn from the stage. Someone needs to get the hook for Slo Joe. He's turning into Mad King George.

Biden talks like a bully. He has threatened to fight Pres. Trump and claims to want to beat people up or slap them. Is this the way he was growing up. I would really like to know. He acts like a member of the Mob. Maybe he is. Hmmmmmmm.

We have the Second Amendment to deter over-reaching politicians like Biden. It is our ultimate shield against them.

You would have to be a moron to believe that a President Joseph Biden would not sign any leftist or liberal Democrat gun ban or gun control bill that landed on his desk. Just look at Biden’s comments to Democrat groups and his past gun control record and you should easily be able to figure that out.

I don't know if Biden still has secret service protection (he shouldn't) but if he was close enough to me to slap me, he would need some dental work. It would be a 3 hit fight, him hitting me, me hitting him and him hitting the floor. I'm 77 years old, so I guess I could be charged with hitting an older person, but if he hit first, it's on him.

I really think this aggressive manner is more of an indication of his mental state. Just ask anyone who has had a relative with alzheimer's disease. A few members of my family have had this disease and have exhibited this kind of behavior. He can't string two sentences together, and he's just getting more frustrated and angry. Time to Go, Joe.

Forget Biden. We allowed the discussion about guns and the Second Amendment to be diverted years ago to maintaining a right to 'hunt' instead of our Founders intent to allow us to protect ourselves from the government itself. Hunting is NOT why we need a right to own a gun.

This, of course, wasn't a one-off. It's becoming a pattern, insulting voters who ask him inconvenient questions and then threatening violent actions isn't the behavior of a rational human being, it's the behavior of an unhinged loonie going off the rails on the crazy train. And if the GOP is smart they'll start goading Biden into a full-blown meltdown that will convince voters of his mental instability and unfitness for office.

Look just about a week ago Joseph Biden said that after being elected he was going to appoint the extreme gun ban activist Beto O’Rourke to be in charge of his administration’s gun control efforts. What more do you need to know?

I hope that worker who invoked the wrath of Plugs doesn't find his car torched or house spray painted in retaliation. Glad it wasn't Bernie he embarrassed, otherwise he would have to contend with the Bernie Bros and Antifa. He'd need to have his guns handy at all times.

I can't believe the Dems will, in the end, let this loon run for President. Something is going to happen.

#7, he almost certainly is a mob-type boss and so are the rest of the powerful swamp dwellers. I know I’m no one of note but FWIW I have concluded that we aren’t fighting a valid oppositional political party we are fighting a huge international criminal syndicate that includes names like Clinton, Bush, Pelosi, Feinstein, Obama, Soros, Brennan, Kennedy, etc., etc. Another thing that troubled me about Biden’s quote is the present tense used when he stated that his sons hunt. He not only has just one son who is alive but that son is a drug addict who should be unable to get anywhere near a firearm.

I can't either, #17. But if he IS on the ticket there won't be any debates.

From Clint "a hand gun puts bullets into you, a rifle puts bullets through you and a shot gun tears out a giant hunk of "stuff" and throws it against the wall"...

It's easy to be a bully and challenge people when you know you have a Secret Service detail assigned to protect you, Joe's demented AND a coward.

"[F]rom the very beginning?" He's even older than we thought.
