Biden in Hawaii: My Bingo Scorecard
• Fell asleep during event honoring those lost in the fires. ✅
• Joked about how the ground was hot. ✅
• Pissed off so many locals they’re vowing to vote for Trump. ✅
• Showed “empathy” by explaining that he almost lost his Corvette and his cat in a small fire in his kitchen. ✅
Although Biden did imply that the accident that killed his wife and daughter was the truck driver’s fault (his late wife was the at-fault motorist) he didn’t claim that the truck driver was drunk. He told the drunk driving portion of the lie for many years but was finally persuaded to give it up a few years ago.
Old Uncle Joe is like that one relative that still receives an invite to Thanksgiving Dinner, weddings, and family reunions every year. A dreaded moment for everyone else that receives an invite. A dreaded moment as the pen shakes in the hand of the family member writing the invitations when writing his name.
Cantankerous, opinionated, and searching for an argument before he gets drunk. Never borrow money from the Old Uncle Joe in your family because it won’t matter if you repaid the loan, you will be cornered at every family event forever by your Old Uncle Joe. Come to think of it even if you haven’t borrowed money from him distance is still your friend.
Gee, that’s reassuring. Good to see you do some fact-checking to clear that up. Why I would have been under the impression that Biden was a serial liar.
Question: have you ever corrected any of the many blatant lies told about Trump ?
Usually, if there is a correction to be made in the defense of Donald Trump on Ricochet, somebody else will have already made it before I get to it. I have defended Trump in person on a few occasions when someone has said that Trump wants people to drink bleach or some other nonsense.
Some of the clips that get sent around about Biden’s ineptitude I dismiss as hype, as I ask myself would I judge a Republican harshly for mispronouncing a word or stuttering. But honestly, his response to the wildfires has been so inexplicable and awful that it should, in a sane world, sink his chances for even the nomination, never mind being elected.
Just the fact that he often sounds and looks like he is waiting for the Grim Reaper ought to make people think his re-election bid is a joke.
I liked this but unfortunately I can’t find an actual picture: Angry Maui residents slam Biden, hold ‘No Comment’ signs during president’s fire tour
I think a sign with this theme would work for most occasions:
Biden’s media allies now call him ‘walkaway Joe Biden’
Wait, what? Did he really do these things?
I can believe #1, 2, and 4 but I seriously doubt #3 will come true next November. I mean, it’s Hawaii.
My BINGO card had all things from his youth:
More likely for number 3 is that he convinced a lot of locals to stay home on election day, which may work out just as well for Trump. I hope Drew is right and he may be. My wife made it a point to vote for Abbott because Wendy Davis cut her off in traffic, she wasn’t political but she could hold a grudge.
Trump lost Hawaii by 169,000 votes out of 562,000 cast. Biden would need to open fire on a school to make it a red state.
My thoughts exactly.
Well, it’s true that voters are fickle, and their anger at Biden over this may not overcome their hatred of Trump. Nevertheless . . .
Biden will win in Hawaii, even if most of the people living there vote against him.The Democrats’ lock on the Dead vote will pull him through.
And they likely just added 1000 votes. : (
Because using the water of indigenous peoples to put out wildfires has to be run by the Ministry for Water Equity.
It’s like you stole Biden’s notebook. It’s almost shocking that he didn’t say all four.
Well, a couple of them made headlines about #3 when their criticisms, were published.
One Democrat woman said she’s vote for Trump.
I don’t know if these people are Democrats, but . . . the infamous chant is back.
Actual, Biden use to say they died from a man who “drank his lunch on the way to work”. I heard him say it. He absolutely implied she’d died at the hands of a drunk driver. Biden has said so many things so many ways you may not have caught it.
And.. he’ll win Hawaii by 30 points next year. Sadly.
Probably but he may not win Maui, It is strange but even people who would vote democrat 99% of the time will vote the other way if they feel they have been personally insulted/ harmed by a particular politician.
I wish that were true. I’ve just never seen it. Biden won Maui 65% / 31% in 2020. Maui is about 12% of Hawaii’s population. I think if any other Republican were on the ticket in 24 there’d be some small gains. There won’t be with Trump. He’s too deeply defined at this point among left and center left voters. Hawaii’s Democrat roots run deep. Mazie Hirono has the 2nd best approval rating in the Senate. It wouldn’t shock me if a majority of Hawaiians blamed climate change and by proxy Republicans for it.
Proof that we’re living in a simulation. I know it certainly causes me to question reality.
I expected a story from his childhood involving poi and Don Ho.
Maybe, I doubt Biden’s shtick was well received that kind of thing can hurt a candidate in ways that are hard to actually calculate. As you say though it doesn’t really matter Oahu basically controls the election results. Everyone on Maui could decide to vote for Trump and it wouldn’t change the outcome of the state. I doubt any republican could win state wide in Hawaii.
It wasn’t just any old Corvette, it was a ‘67 Corvette. Important detail.
True. But Biden’s so old this might have happened in ’67.
Meh. The ’67 Corvettes were OK, but if it was a ’53 Corvette, that would be worth saving from a fire.
