"Biden’s biggest worry is that Trump, for all his bluster, could be a global bystander, unwilling to engage a messy world with anything more than chest-thumping."

"'The question I get everywhere is: ‘Is American leadership going to continue?'" he told me on Air Force Two. If Trump 'just stays behind the lines — hands off — it could be very ugly. Very, very ugly.'"

That's from a NYT piece — "Joe Biden: 'I Wish to Hell I’d Just Kept Saying the Exact Same Thing'..." — which I blogged exactly one year ago.

I'm running across that today because Joe Biden is in teh news, as you might have noticed: "Biden says he would have 'beat the hell out' of Trump in high school for disrespecting women." I had a feeling there was some ridiculous violent ideation coming out of Biden against Trump somewhere in the archive. It wasn't the thing from a year ago. It was something else, from October 2016, and now I realize that Biden's remarks in today's news was dredging up that old, weird statement:
"A guy who ended up becoming our national leader said, 'I can grab a woman anywhere and she likes it,'" Biden said. "They asked me if I’d like to debate this gentleman, and I said 'no.' I said, 'If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.'"

"I've been in a lot of locker rooms my whole life," Biden continued. "I'm a pretty damn good athlete. Any guy that talked that way was usually the fattest, ugliest S.O.B. in the room."
Here he is in October 2016 getting very angrily macho:



But I was interested in the other quote, which seems so forgotten. Biden's biggest worry, 2 month's into the Trump presidency, would be "a global bystander, unwilling to engage," just staying "behind the lines," keeping his "hands off" the "messy world." A year later, no one's saying that. Could someone ask Biden about that now? Would he like to express appreciation that what he was most worried about did not happen?

I'm confused by this statement. Domestic news is obsessed with porn stars and the latest tweet, but there's a lot of articles and talk of the US pulling out of venues in which they are usually involved.

Max Boot and people like him say it all the time.

In the last two weeks, I've read about people upset about the US not sending reps to a recent Euro meeting, people upset he's not saying stuff about the nerve killings in UK and other assassinations. People worried about the Baltics, Ukraine, lack of diplomats still not appointed. In the last months I've read people worried the US is leaving a big gap that China is filling, both in Asia and S. America and Africa.

Perhaps this is more news internationally, while the domestic news is more belly button (or Stormy Daniel's threesome)- or latest twitter uproar focused?

He could have been a contender.

One of the more interesting points of the 2015 political season was his press conference Oct. 21 2015, declaring he wouldn't run, with Obama apparently standing by to make sure he didn't double cross someone.

It amused me, anyway.

I wonder what they had on Biden to keep him out. A lot, probably.
One of the Democrats bigger mistakes? Was Bidens baggage actually worse than Clintons?

He certainly would have been more personally charismatic, or at least sympathetic.

Mid-Life Lawyer म्हणाले...

I was driving back to Dallas from Amarillo early yesterday evening and I listened to Trump's speech. He had command of the room. He recognized several in attendance, including Steve Scalise. Apparently Scalise jumped right up when Trump called his name and Trump pointed to the last guy he had recognized and said, "he got up quicker than you, what's with that!" or something to that effect. He was funny all the way through. But when he compared Scalise to the other guy, my first though was of Biden asking the guy in the wheelchair to stand up. Not only would Trump destroy Biden in a debate, he would probably physically kick his ass, in high school or on the White House lawn this afternoon.

Trump joined with European leaders to condemn the poison attack in the UK, and reinstated sanctions against Russia for that act. These were the same sanctions he had held off on using, figuring that they might be a bargaining chip. Since Russia continues to behave badly, those sanctions are in place now.

The last time Biden was called to account for anything he said was in 1988, and it took a wholesale ripping off of someone else’s life story for that to happen. (Plus a little call out during the Thomas hearings a few years later, just to make sure he didn’t get in the way of the Thomas rail-roading. Fortunately, that went off track. Unfortunately, the rail readers didn’t give up.)

It's not just Max Boot. It's diplomatic people from the Baltics and other eastern European countries asking where the US is.

I was struck by that, because I hear about "where's the US" stuff quite often. Also read stuff on this often. Granted, maybe I've got too many acquaintances are from eastern Europe. Maybe I read too much international press versus domestic US. But I'm hearing complaints about US not sending reps to conferences, lack of leadership, gaps of power, openings for China, Mandarin lessons in Africa...

On Biden specifically, my interest is low.

Interestingly, Biden was in on the Dems Plan for destroying Trump before he destroyed them.They would gum up the Senate with McConnel's tacit help until the Trumprecord would be one of doing nothing. That was the plan. And it worked except for the time McConnell let 50 votes count for Gorsuch.
Finally the Tax Cut was too tempting to the Dem donors and the Schumer/Biden plan let another one slip through.

But Trump has been saying the first year is for exposing the enemy and lining up the targets. The second year is for attacking them. That is the Storm the Trumpsters talk about.

Second, we will see nothing in the media about what his son Hunter did in the Ukraine, nor the alleged billion dollar deal Hunter has going on with the Chinese, nor about Hunter boinking his late brother's widow while still married. This despite the attention paid to Donald Trump Jr.'s business dealings and pending divorce.

I recall once, when he was Veep, him telling some KFC worker who dared question Obama, to “stop being such a smart-ass.” I also recall the reportage showing him giving less to charity than any other candidate in 2008. Way less. Like he gave grand total of $400 one year.

So now I see he’s a defender of womanhood, a knight gallant who would kick the ass of every Trump-like male who took advantage of a woman. Sure you would, Joe. Just like you kicked Bill Clinton’s ass.

Sorry for all the “asses” in this comment. When Joe Biden’s in the menu, asses are like free breadsticks.

One of the reasons I voted for Trump is that wanted to put American first and didn't want to get into every war that the Neocons could start.

It is a good thing if we stand back.

Look at this latest bullshit with Russia and the supposed poisoning of spies in England. The English are all up in arms about this when they can't seem to protect their own children from being groomed and gang raped by Muslims in their own country. They want us to get into a fight with Russia. The Neocons and the moronic Democrats want the same thing. They want us to get into a serious beef with Russia. This isn't like a war with Iraq or Afghanistan or Libya or any one of the other shit holes that they insist we spend our blood and treasure. This is conflict with the potential to blow up the world. So when the President congratulates Putin in exactly the same way as Obama did they leak it and try to turn it into some kind of scandal. They are turning up the heat in hopes of starting a conflict with Russia.

They are literally insane.

Biden is almost two years older than me, and he makes me ashamed to be an old fogey. Don't get me wrong: Trump gives me reasons almost every day to want to sit him down for a "Now, young man" talk.

Biden's biggest worry, 2 month's into the Trump presidency, would be "a global bystander, unwilling to engage," just staying "behind the lines," keeping his "hands off" the "messy world." A year later, no one's saying that.

Are you kidding me? What bubble are you residing in? Any involvement that the Trump's got into were to appease domestic constituencies or because they were dragged kicking and screaming into it: i.e. a nuclear standoff with N. Korea. He's letting Russia do whatever it wants, and definitely letting China exert more power in the Pacific. Trade wars or chest-beating just for the sake of American political rhetoric is not involvement. Most people with a brain who bother to look into these things before spouting off know this. He's letting regional powers - Russia, China, Saudi Arabia - exert a greater and greater role in the world. The opposite of American involvement. The French touted this a decade ago as multipolarity. The other powers, too. You can argue that it's a legitimate course to pursue, but not that it shows active American involvement. It's about as active and involved as telling the cop that you'll beat up your kid after he returns him to your house late in the night doing some graffiti because you weren't involved. Geez. It also recapitulates the "balance of power" theories that led Europe into two world wars. The amount of ignorance you spout astounds me.

But you really haven't read all that much of the raving moonatic's rants if you think he doesn't frequently got sodomitic in his comments. He's just using his wife for her cash and real estate assets. If it's not obvious to you then you're even dumber than he is.

Bad-Touch Biden has no room to talk about anyone touching women.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together म्हणाले...

No, just the service of reality. It's 2018. The only reason to fixate on sodomy - (especially while living in San Francisco!) - and a married young man is if your marriage is a sham and you really do prefer males to females. Especially in the controlling, S & M fashion that the moonatic in question always talks about. If you don't get this then you're really old. Times change and he's a young whippersnapper - even if he still can't come clean and just openly live the lifestyle that he obviously prefers.

As Churchill said of Royal Naval traditions: "And what are those traditions Admiral, but Rum, sodomy and the lash..."

walter म्हणाले...

Nah..you're just fixated...using the "I know you are but what am I" bit to such a degree it boomerangs on you, habitually slinging over the top insults at anyone who disagrees with you.
But yet again, time to raise the plexi on this thread.

Nobody really knew what Trump would be doing as President, before he got elected President. Biden was saying a good as any guess on what Trump would do. After all he saw Obama with his huge talk, and negligible US international impact.

Being honest - I thought Trump was the least bad choice, and was a lot better than Hillary (where is my money) Clinton. I have been pleasantly surprised (shocked) at how well Trump is doing internationally. Domestically Trump is doing much better than I expected. I did not expect the resistance to be so crazy. Or the GOP Senators to allow the Democrats to gum up the senate so much, especially confirmations. This entire Russia Independent Counsel Wiretapping is one of the most brilliant dirty tricks I have ever seen (kudos to Hillary and Obama and company for what they did), unfortunately for the Democrats, Trump is turning it against them.

Increasing the dose on your stupid pills, walter?

You said I was insensitive for calling attention to your beyond-use-date. I disagreed because your beyond-use-date is the only explanation for your inability to know what's humorous to young guys nowadays and what's just a giveaway.

So in fact, I'm not accusing anyone of anything that they accused me of. ("I know you are but what am I"). I mean, if your senility is so advanced that you can't even figure out how playground taunts (that you call out) work, then it might be time to hang up the towel on the commenting.

Biden spent 8 years supporting leading from behind.

He’s getting senile. It seems his kids got rich after we went soft on China.

Buwaya,

(And others)

Why the fantasy about Biden as a presidential candidate. The Vice-Presidency forever disqualified him from being president.

Not constitutionally, of course, but as a practical matter. Look at the history of VPs who have run for the presidency. Even VPs, like Ford, Johnson, Truman, TR who have gotten into the oval office and tried to get elected in their own right. Or Bush, the first sitting VP in 150 years to get elected and he could not get re-elected.

Biden might be a Nixon. sit out a couple terms, win only to be so massively unsuccessful that he gets run out of town.

I cannot for the life of me understand how anyone can think that Biden could possibly be a legitimate candidate.

Unfortunately, Progressivism is a forward thinking and liberal (i.e. divergent) ideology.

Shouldn't that read Progressivism is a fascist ideology.

Still waiting for someone to tell me the difference between the two.

oops, I should have said "re-elected" in regards to truman and Johnson. Bush as well.

@John Henry, I can. When hard-core Democrats are among friends (or think they are) they recognize that Hillary Clinton flaunted her corruption and was a uniquely unlikable individual who was an all around crappy candidate. So who else was there? Well, Sanders and Biden and not many others that come to mind. Sanders couldn't beat (or maybe wasn't allowed to beat) Hillary, so that leaves good old Joe Biden for them to base their dreams on.

But there never was a chance Biden would win. He's had two previous tries at the nomination and failed miserably. One of my acquaintances, a member of the believed by some to be non-existent but very real Deep State, turned to me at a pary and asked me, well, what about Biden. So I told him to get on YouTube and use the search string "Creepy Joe Biden." That shut him up. Were you aware that one of Biden's Secret Service detail referred to Joe Biden as "Washington's Weinstein"? Jeez, I can't imagine why that was never on the front page of the Post. The money quote:

“We had to cancel the VP Christmas get together at the Vice President’s house because Biden would grope all of our wives and girlfriend’s asses.”

Oh, yeah, Democrats. By all means run Joe Biden.

"[trump] said, 'I can grab a woman anywhere and she likes it,'" Biden said. "They asked me if I’d like to debate this gentleman, and I said 'no.' I said, 'If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.'"

Apart from vowing violence at an anti-violence rally...

"I've been in a lot of locker rooms my whole life," Biden continued. "I'm a pretty damn good athlete. Any guy that talked that way was usually the fattest, ugliest S.O.B. in the room."


Please can we stop taking Slow Joe Biden seriously? He's always been moronic -now he's moronic and senile.

Why didn't he take Bill Clinton or Ted Kennedy "behind the gym" and "beat the hell out of them" - he if loves to "protect women" so much?

And say what you want about Trump - but he sure as hell wasn't "the fattest, ugliest kid in the room".

-I’d love that. I’d love that,” Trump said. “Mr. Tough Guy [Biden]. You know, Biden’s Mr. Tough Guy.”
-“You know when he’s Mr. Tough Guy? When he’s standing behind a microphone by himself,” he said. “He wants to bring me to the back of the barn. Ohhh. Some things in life you could really love doing.”
-“And by the way, if I said that, they’d say, ‘He’s violent. How could he have done that?’ ” Mr. Trump said.

Later Biden responded:

“I was trying to make a point,” Mr. Biden said. “I was a pretty good athlete in high school — played a little in college. People didn’t act in the locker room like he talks about. That’s not true.”

Note: Biden can't stop exaggerating. Yes he did "play a little" in college. He was on the Freshman Football Team as walk-on wide receiver. He wasn't a starter. And the Team was All-white.

Awww... poor baby. I thought you said that going to college is what makes me "an asshole." You always like to whine about how mean we college types are.

Nah, I said you are an assholes because of your racism, sexism, lies and imagined self importance.
You know, pretty much same thing everyone who knows you thinks.

I don't have a "job" I take on projects. I am a winner, opposite of you.
What "job" have you ever had that lasted longer than six months.

I take on projects.

Like marrying some girl with the capital to front the housing down payment. Yep. Grifting and mooching. Quite the projects!

I am a winner.

At checkers, pin the tail on the donkey, marrying the girl you can mooch off of, talking like a four-year old. etc.

Go post a link to your assets and "projects" here so we can compare your demonstrable, "imagined self importance" here with reality, pussy.
