So He Gets A Second Term

After losing the popular vote in each of his first two Presidential bids (one a win over Hillary Clinton via Electoral College, the other a loss to Joe Biden), Donald Trump won against Kamala Harris in a crushing manner despite polls having them at a dead heat tie for four months and appearances of empty Trump rallies versus a general public look in cities that inspired confidence for the Harris camp. What happened? We know Trump was going to want to cheat and steal his way to victory, from stacking the Supreme Court in his favour, preemptively filing countless frivolous lawsuits contesting results, to Tweeting about possible fraud in philadelphia the day of, to his admitting to having a "little secret" with House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson: It sure feels like the election was stolen...

Joe Biden's Butt Buddy

You know, Joe Biden's one complicated fellow, in that he's both a simpleton and a man with good ideas. He's like a Bizarro George W. Bush, in that he'll ALWAYS say the wrong thing in public as well, except instead of starting useless wars based on lies for his puppeteer buddies to profiteer on, he'd probably institute a country-wide public transit system.

But the delivery system for those good ideas inevitably always snags, as if there was a disconnect or distortion on the way from his brain to his mouth, like here:



There are words, expressions, and just things you don't say in front of crowds and rolling cameras. But Biden has no clue; he'd probably be the President who'd actually provide Reparations to Black folks, but in his speech to do it would refer to them as Colored, not because he's racist, but because his mind would escape to Boardwalk Empire mid-speech and in it, even Michael Kenneth Williams (Chalky White) talks about his peers in it that way, not meaning any harm, just totally wrong.

Another Bizarro Bush thing is how under Bush, the True President Dick Cheney was always hidden ''for security purposes'', whereas Barack Obama keeps Biden from appearing too often because it's one guaranteed huge gaffe per outing, and he wants to minimize those.

Biden His Time

Here's how Joe Biden reacted to Paul Ryan's lies, half-truths, and nonsense...



As for the debate itself, the guy (Biden) may be a serial gaffer, but he has a way of being able to express his convictions and explain them plainly that is, mostly, impressive. Sure, the media love a politician who talks so much he'll massacre the language and invent unclear metaphors (à la George W. Bush and Jean Chrétien), but the ideas behind the sentences still make sense most of the time.

I can see Democrats wishing there were two more VP debates rather than Obama-Romney duels...

Obama's Big Stick

I like how the room cracks up at the end. Joe Biden's amazing at putting his foot in his mouth, and this was just another example among many. Hopefully he won't have to put Barack Obama's big stick in there too...
