Trump is very creative at repurposing negativity — I said earlier this morning...

... here... and now I'm seeing this:

Biden opens mouth, and inserts both feet.

Ace Sullivan said...

He's really mad, that Biden. Showing his non-LowEnerginess. Not buying it

MadisonMan said...

But Biden is a Democrat!

Every time I see Democratic (Facebook) Friends of mine pushing this theme, that's all I can think of.

daskol said...

See Creepy Uncle Joe squirm: he didn't like questions about his plagiarized speeches and misrepresentations of his law school class rank, either. He's 30 years older, but doesn't seem to have gotten wiser in how to respond. Joe Bluster Biden. Nothing more to him than that.

daskol said...

If you can find the clip of him harranguing reporters 30 years ago, you'll notice not only has he learned something, he has more hair now. Benjaman Buttons Bluster Biden.

BarrySanders20 said...

Old Man, with spittle flying, jabbing threatening finger:" "Ask the right question!"

Reporter following up, asking the right question: "Why do you fondle little girls?"

Bill, Republic of Texas said...

Slightly off topic but Biden seems to have a real anger control problem. He grabbed that one girl who asked a question he didn't like. He just snapped at and patronized that female moderator a few days ago. Now he is telling at another reporter to "ask the right question!"

Dementia?

Two really rotten, evil entities,

Biden, both for himself and as a stand-in for Democrats

&

the Council on Foreign Relations.

But the CFR is most certainly the worst, having been in existence for nearly 100 years, spewing its treacherous acts to create world government.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

what's bigger?
Biden's son raking in millions from over-seas business on his dad's coat-tails?
Or- the MSM(D) without any curiosity about it?
Or- my big black dick?

hey - if the Clintons can do it- all D's can do it. The bigger crime is Trump asking about it.

That video is interesting for other reasons. Biden has used finger pointing and physical confrontation throughout his political career. He's a frail old man and it doesn't work for him anymore. But what can he do?

Darrell said...

Joe The Felon Biden should be in prison.

Jersey Fled said...

Joe has the sound of a guy who just got caught, and is trying to bully his way out of it.

daskol said...

Eerily similar: he used to talk a bit faster, and he had less hair. https://youtu.be/D1j0FS0Z6ho

WisRich said...

Words of advice Joe, don't bring a finger to a knife fight.

You cut the CFR talk too soon Biden goes on to grope Richard Hass

I think Democrats in general, not just the media really think that working in an international business with your grown children building luxury entertainment properties is exactly the same as getting your kids jobs with foreign corporations because you have a high position in the USA government. So if it is exactly the same then when you make millions building stuff overseas you are corrupt. But since it's all cool when government does it then making millions from your Foundation is automatically a public service.

Ken B said...

The argument seems to be, yes Obama let Biden strong arm them into dropping an investigation into his son but the real outrage is Trump saying go ahead enforce your anti corruption laws.

That’s an exaggerated way of putting it but the key point is right and fair: Trump is retracting Biden’s interference. He is not Willy nilly talking to governments about investigating his opponents as some seem to think or imply.

Mike Sylwester said...

President Trump is correct.

BlackjohnX said...

Biden is hoist by his own words. Trump nailed him. Too funny .... also, really sad that this lying mediocrity is considered a front runner in the Democrat field. Another failed witch hunt directed at Trump.

readering said...

Wow. All Althouse seems to care about Trump is that he be entertaining. He makes Batshit crazy claim about electric chair for Biden over Ukraine but who cares, guy knows how to put stuff he found on Twitter.

dbp said...

It is so obvious and idiotic.

It seems Burisma hired the VP's son, presumably to steer business their way. The only influence that got exerted by Biden was pressure to keep a prosecutor from investigating why Hunter Biden, (other than being the VP's son, a former junior Navy officer, kicked out for using cocaine) would be suitable for a board membership in a major Ukrainian corporation.

That the VP would brag about using his influence to bully a foreign country, is well, so Biden. He is a man of little accomplishment or brain, but much ego.

Ice Nine said...

I have a fork here...s'got the name "Biden" on it.

stevew said...

Yes, he is very creative and effective. Though it must be said that his opponents make it ever so easy.

The Godfather said...

Yes, exactly! Biden has been ASKING for this. It's devestating. Will the MSM cover it?

Clyde said...

Watching that video clip brought to mind the following musical interlude that originally came out in the same year that Biden was first elected to the Senate (1972):

"Stinking to high heaven!"

bagoh20 said...

To see Biden saying that crap knowing full well what he himself did would be surreal in a nation with a competent and fair press. The election would be a slam dunk for Trump if we could get all the voters to watch just one night of Fox News.

Mark O said...

And, that was the end of Biden's campaign for President.

I see this as a win-win. Biden and his kid go to jail and Trump is hung for treason. No real downside here.

Biden is a criminal. Nice try with the gaslighting theire, Joe.

Michael K said...

I assume you are an avid Twitter consumer. And have the intelligence that is so evident there, or so I am told.

Yancey Ward said...

Biden is finished, by the way. His opponents in the primaries are going to start using this against him through PAC ads. Harris is the one most likely to do it since she stands to benefit the most from Biden's collapse if she can engineer before Thanksgiving.

Yancey Ward said...

But, seriously, consider just how stupid Biden has to be to get caught on camera in those two instances saying such contradictory things. The man might be demented today, but this is the same sort of stupid shit Biden has always done.

Bay Area Guy said...

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that foot in your mouth?
Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that foot in your mouth?
Alright. I'm goin down to shoot my old Hunter,
you know I caught him messin' 'round with a Ukraine man.
Yeah,! I'm goin' down to shoot my old Hunter,
you know I caught him messin' 'round with a Ukraine man.
Huh! And that ain't too cool.

Uh, hey Joe, I heard you shot your Hunter down,
you shot him down.
Uh, hey Joe, I heard you shot your old Hunter down,
you shot him down to the ground. Yeah!

Yes, I did, I shot him,
you know I caught him messin' 'round,
messin' 'round town.
Uh, yes I did, I shot him
you know I caught my old Hunter 'round town.
And I gave him the gun and I shot him!

I hope not! I want to see him debate Trump! I bet his blood pressure goes so high both eyes fill up with blood.

Anyway ever see the chess/gang war movie Fresh? Anyway, taking Biden off the board now cuts off a promising opportunity path to hurt Obama. In fairness to O, Biden’s been a corruptocrat since not long after O was out of his red diapers. Still, the One’s legacy deserves a whack for putting this boastful buffoon a heartbeat from the Presidency. I’m sure lesser men have occupied the office, but I haven’t had to live through it.

eddie willers said...

Trump is hung for treason

We're at war with Ukraine?

GatorNavy said...

I can only hope that the Biden’s fall will be swift, painful and permanent

tcrosse said...

Trump is hung for treason

Never mind how Trump is hung. It's unlikely he will be hanged.

Earnest Prole said...

Saying “Trump is very creative at repurposing negativity” is like saying water is wet. Trump is a ninja samurai jujitsu jedi master redirecting shit so that it splatters full in the faces of those who flung it. It helps that he doesn't seem to mind the smell.

Biden is in 'Vinny "The Chin" Gigante' mode since it became inevitable
that the Ukraine/China/etc dirty dealings would surface.

none of this was supposed to see the light of day

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary of English Usage said...

The distinction between hanged and hung is not an especially useful one (although a few commentators claim otherwise). It is, however, a simple one and certainly easy to remember. Therein lies its popularity. If you make a point of observing the distinction in your writing, you will not thereby become a better writer, but you will spare yourself the annoyance of being corrected for having done something that is not wrong.

Trump knows how to be interesting and has inspired people to look into this "non" story about Hunter Biden.

"The controversy can be traced back to March 2014, when Russia annexed the Crimean peninsula in Eastern Ukraine, setting off an international crisis. As the administration’s point-man on Ukraine,[Joe] Biden led the U.S. response.

That April, Biden’s son, Hunter, was appointed to the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian natural gas company, despite lacking substantive [i.e., any] experience working in Ukraine or the energy sector. He received compensation that was reportedly as high as $50,000 a month.

At the time, Burisma was seeking to build inroads to U.S. Democrats as it faced investigative scrutiny. The same month Hunter Biden joined Burisma, the U.K. government froze bank accounts that allegedly belonged to its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, as part of a money laundering investigation.

Two years later, Joe Biden successfully pressured the Ukrainian government to remove its prosecutor general, Viktor Shokin, who was unpopular with Western leaders, threatening to withhold loan guarantees if it did not. At the time, Shokin's office had open probes of Burisma and Zlochevsky. [Which apparently they did not pursue, corruption being rampant in Ukraine.] Shokin’s successor closed the investigations, but then reopened an investigation of Burisma last year." Why Trump’s Ukraine scandal could backfire on Biden politico

According to Joe Biden there is nothing to see here, move along. Really?

I think that if Biden collapses, Bernie benefits more than Warren. At least that’s where I would bet, were I a betting man.

Jaq said...

Hanged/Hung is a useful distinction. I guess we can pretend it’s not, but it is.

JAORE said...

Biden can explain this away easily. All he has to do is show why his son is the best possible pick to be on the board of directors of an energy company or why he should be given a billion or so for the equity firm. Yep, show the sterling track record of Hunter's astounding successes that justify the largess showered on him and Joe skates home free.

I mean besides the resume filler of being discharged from the Navy for failing a drug test.

Let this Deplorable give ARM a little learnin'.

People are hanged and pictures are hung. Easy.

Progs are always going on about how smart and educated and then they go on and say the stupidest shit.

A little humility would go a long way.

readering: "Wow. All Althouse seems to care about Trump is that he be entertaining. He makes Batshit crazy claim about electric chair for Biden over Ukraine but who cares, guy knows how to put stuff he found on Twitter."

LOL

One of readering's more pathetic lies about Trump. After the collapse of ALL of readering's and the dems previous lies I can understand the clear desperation that has set in.

Trump clearly said Biden would get the electric chair "if he were a republican" and was caught saying what Biden did in fact say.

Good old readering. Doing his/her/xer best to make up for Inga's absence!!

Jaq said...

I seriously doubt any of our trolls can actually bring themselves to watch this pummeling of Biden that Trump dishes out.

It turns out that Joe Biden’s idea of a street brawl is to wag his finger and lie while he gets beaten like a rented mule.

Jaq said...

William Weld seriously suggests that Trump should be executed and readering focuses on a deliberate misquote of Trump.

cubanbob said...

There is a reason ( if not many more) Obama is really keen on Biden running. This is one of them and probably amongst the biggest one. Creepy Slow Felonius Joe didn't have the political juice to threaten the Ukranians if Obama wasn't onboard with it.

cubanbob said...

If William Weld states Trump should be executed then what does he have in mind for Obama, Biden, the Clintons, Comey and the others? Have them drawn and quartered?

Drago said...

cubanbob: "If William Weld states Trump should be executed then what does he have in mind for Obama, Biden, the Clintons, Comey and the others?"

Weld will recommend them for Sainthood.

The Cracker Emcee Refulgent said...

"I have a fork here...s'got the name "Biden" on it."

He really must know by now. He'd have to be in a Jebian state of denial not to.

"I think that if Biden collapses, Bernie benefits more than Warren."

I think Trump benefits more than Bernie.

MadisonMan said...

How can this be good for any of the current Democratic contenders who have never taxed Biden with even a question about this? If Biden falls, how can any of the other contenders also not fall with him?

"Joe gets angry when he's caught.”

Then he blusters and lies and wags his fingers. This is known to Democrats as being a real street fighter. His lies are more transparent than a cheating girlfriend’s.

I'd love to hear how the energy company even came to know who Hunter Biden was, much less why he was qualified for the job.

Bay Area Guy said...

Liz Warren could generate big headlines by promising to ban all fracking, thereby killing jobs in the energy sector and making the US reliant on the Saudis and Iranians.

Oh, wait.....
