Joe Biden tore into President Trump's handling of the coronavirus outbreak, accusing him of xenophobia, dishonesty, and mismanaging testing for the virus."This virus laid bare the severe shortcomings of the current administration. Public fears are being compounded by a pervasive lack of trust in this president, fueled by adversarial relationship with the truth," the former vice president said in an address on Thursday. He suggested that Trump is hiding the "true number of infections in hope of protecting political interests or the stock market."The Democratic presidential front-runner's address came the day after Trump addressed

Does that include disclosing that Biden's in the early stages of dementia?

Really, Joe? You've lied and made up stuff your whole political career, especially since your stint as VP; why should we believe that you'll suddenly change now?

FTA: "This virus laid bare the severe shortcomings of the current administration. Public fears are being compounded by a pervasive lack of trust in this president, fueled by adversarial relationship with the truth," the former vice president said in an address on Thursday.
Are you kidding me? Sleepy Joe could actually read all those multi-syllabic words from the teleprompter without screwing up? Will wonders never cease!

OK, when will he start with this 'telling the truth'? Everything he says every day is a lie up until now, and during this speech.

Joe can't tell the truth, except by accident. And if someone tries to reassure me that "they will never lie to me" it's a HUGE red flag that they will lie to you. When was the last time a Democrat told the truth about anything, except by mistake?

As predictable as it is useless. The idea that the President is trying to "hide" the "true" number shows a complete lack of understanding of the actual process needed to do PCR testing of viruses coupled with an hysterical slander of the President based on absolutely no shred of evidence.
This transparent political pontificating and fear mongering shows a complete lack of perspective or character and confirms to any honest voter why Joe Biden is completely unfit to ever be President.

No, dotty Uncle Joe, public fears are being compounded by chatter from loudmouth naysayers like YOU, fueled by hatred and naked self-interest. Please do us a favor and grow up--or shut up. You're not adding one single thing of value to the dialogue.

There he goes again, as Ben Franklin once said, "with his flood of words and his drop of reason." The only sensible things were repetitions of what the Trump Administration is already doing.
Additionally, where was he when the Wuhan virus was first identified? Where were the Dems? (oh yes, they were trying to convict President Trump in the Senate.)
Even with a teleprompter, Biden can barely get through a phrase without garbling and slurring.
Speaking of teleprompters, I'm reminded of BO when he had won the election, but months prior to Inauguration, set up the "Office of the President Elect" with a President-Elect seal for his podium!
O'biden isn't even the Dem nominee and he's pretending to be POTUS.
And this is his handlers' way of preventing O'biden from more disastrous debates or confrontations with motley rabble citizens. But Chauncy Biden will eventually have to stand next to President Trump. And all the prepping and training and cramming his handlers pummel him with, he will not be able to withstand the heat and light.
Question: if O'biden keels over prior to Election Day, would his VP be able to run in his place?

More and more this is looking like a final, desperate "Hail Satan pass" by the Democrats to take down the economy, and in so doing to take down President Trump. The Russia hoax didn't work. The Mueller/Deep State investigations didn'y work. The shampeachment didn't work. So along comes the coronavirus that yes, is serious, but hey, even though it is way less pervasive than your average annual flu (that kills tens of thousands of people!) and wow, let's shut EVERYTHING down. Schools. Sports. Business.
Am I the only one who sees this as the Democrats' attempt to stampede the country into a panic and ruin the economy on purpose? They're certainly pouring gasoline on it and trying to get maximum political effect from it.
Antidote suggestion: drink lots of fluids, wash your hands, and check your ammo inventory.

#8, excellent Franklin quote, but do you think that Joe can manage a whole drop of reason?

So when tests come back positive, what next Joe? You provide no leadership in stopping the spread. How will you stop it from spreading?

Didn't he just recently lie about getting arrested in South Africa for trying to see Nelson Mandela? Joe lies so much, he forgets even his recent lies.

I guess he means the truth as he remembers it, like which is the wife and which is the sister, what state he's in at the time, the corn-pop saga and on and on and on!

Joey, Joey, Joey.....did you also forget that you actually ENDORSED President Trump?? If you did forget all is not lost; I'm sure you'll get a chance to see yourself many times in various Trump ads (that is assuming that you'll be the Dem candidate and I wouldn't count on that if I were you).

The last time Joe told the truth was when he bragged about getting the Ukraine attorney fired.

The beauty of telling the truth is that you only have one thing to remember, not a whole trail of prior lies that you have to keep straight.

His lies will devour his demented ego. Going down in flames; I just hope he lasts long enough to get on a debate stage with President Trump. Joe will be beaten like rented red-headed mule.
