Amen, brother, although I doubt he’ll be there long if he does get elected.
Democrats must know all about him, so why, why did they allow this to happen?
So Hillary could be appointed when he resigned.
I guess a party that picked that witch twice would do it again. The fun cat fight will be Jill verses Kamala. I think fill is a gold digger, pushing Joe for her own grand rise in importance. Throw in Pelosi,3rd in line, and Hillary, the party queen, and the fireworks will go nuclear.
Anybody but Bernie. They could not go forward with a socialist.
I was recently watching his “performance” during the Clarence Thomas hearings. The guy always has been a jack***.
That’s an unacceptable thing to talk about. It’s obvious he’s bragging, possibly hitting on the woman . . .
Wonder if he used the same lines on Dr. Jill? (probably not, since, given what she’d putting her husband through this year, Dr. Jill seems attracted to power, and Biden had been in the Senate long enough by then to be considered a ‘catch’).
Trump brags about his wife’s looks too. He doesn’t get all creep though. Maybe that was a 70’s thing. Didn’t Kitty Kelley do racy interviews?
I cannot begin to imagine the horrible blackmail material that Russia and China have on this corrupt, sloppy, brazen, and indulgent family. It makes me shudder.
Except that they don’t need to blackmail the Bidens; just make them a partner in the enterprise.
Yes. Why blackmail when you can buy?
Yeah. He doesn’t brag about his own prowess . . .
DON’T EVEN THINK THAT! PLEASE!
Blackmail is a always a good plan against politicians. Especially if you can take videos of them with underage girls. Think of it as insurance, in case the cash is not sufficient. Carrot and stick! This is standard spy craft and is an extension of the “honey pot” technique.
No, Manny. You’re not a prude. Though 1974 was a very different time, and a very sex obsessed time; though people might not have acknowledged a vague feeling of discomfort over Joe Biden going on about his late wife’s body, or the way he used his bereavement as a cover while signaling to an interviewer that he was sexually competent and available, I think people listening must have sensed something false, icky and cold about him hitting on the interviewer that way.
I’m also pretty creeped hearing he had a picture of his late wife’s tombstone in his office.
I sure believe Tara Reade now. (Just kidding. I believed her before.)
The thought crossed my mind too that he was hinting for a sexual encounter with Kitty Kelley. When I looked her up, she was quite attractive. That comment, “I want to find a woman to adore me again.” is suggestive I guess, and then placed the ball in her court. It’s also pretty self centered. It’s about him and his ego. Urrgh. How ugly.
It’s very me centered and very…..how would Andrew Klavan put it ?…….very “meat puppet” sounding. You would expect that a man who loved, or had loved, his now deceased wife would say “she was beautiful”. That implies….well, it doesn’t NOT imply a soul joined to a body, a whole person. So, in light of the fact that his wife’s body was, by the time of the interview, scattered ashes or a decaying corpse in a grave somewhere, “She had the best body of any woman I ever saw. She looks better than a playboy bunny, doesn’t she ?” just sounds hideous, like Joe didn’t happened to notice anything more about his wife than a male of the time noticed about the girl in the centerfold picture of his copy of Playboy.
Exactly! Well said.
Re: #19
Thank you so much, Manny. And thank you for enabling me to find out what it was I was thinking/feeling.
Fantastic post !
Thank you!
TMI! the sort of thing one might confide in private after a few drinks, then later wish you hadn’t. But a politician being interviewed?
