In this campaign, we’ve seen Biden often get stories mixed up, mislead about his record or tell tall tales. He was talking about Trump, but somehow slipped in an attack line against Bloomberg, even using the high-dudgeon word “immoral.”Biden often gets stories mixed up....
Trump has sought to tighten [food stamp] eligibility, but he has not required fingerprinting. That was an idea briefly in vogue in the 1990s, but it’s an idea whose time has passed. Meanwhile, Bloomberg still defends the practice, so it’s not even as if he’s flip-flopped on the issue.
Meanwhile, "Biden oddly suggests '150 million' people killed by guns since 2007."
He gets off the hook for lying because we're so sure he's just so mixed up.
And yet, after all this years-long ordeal, we're left with him as the best chance to avoid having an committed socialist as the major-party challenger to Trump. How the hell did that happen?! Well, I know how it happened, because I've been watching it happen every single day. But I still find it very, very weird.

The trick to getting a socialist elected is to pretend that the word doesn’t have any meaning. Socialism and fascism could both describe Bernie’s economic policies pretty accurately.
Lately the left has re-branded fascist economics as “nudge-ocracy."
Glenn Kessler keeps a running count of how many times Trump “lied,” but for Joe Biden, it’s that he just happens to “often get stories mixed up, mislead about his record or tell tall tales.” Kessler’s audacity is breathtaking.
Biden is almost as big a liar as Chuck, Inga, Howard, Ritmo, or a half-dozen other people here. Sad.
"How the hell did that happen?! Well, I know how it happened..."
Proximate, or ultimate cause? Because things don't go "very, very weird" in the space of a few years.

If Biden were savvier, I'd call "150 million" a Trumpian lie. Go ahead, point out that it's only 400,000. See where that gets you.
Slippery slopes. How do they work?
You saw this outcome becoming likelier at Wisconsin, didn't you?
It's like the handicap system in golf. Biden is awarded many handicap strokes, and this election is 'low net'...
Biden is clearly senile and no longer mentally fit to be president.
Trump's attacks on the demented is no virtue, dementia in the attacks on Trump is no vice...
"Biden is awarded many handicap strokes”
Not just strokes, but aneurisms.
Joe Dementia.

Giving a pass to the guy they think best advances their position and has the best chance to win. It is remarkable that they could find no one better. They really do fear the political outcome of Bernie being their candidate.
Don’t worry, we have a Jill Stein voter here who clearly has her finger on the pulse of the American electorate who think that Bernie will win by so much that he will put a Senate supermajority in play for Democrats. These Democrats should calm down!
Der Biden Gaffe Maschine...
Biden is not the only geriatric case sacrificing what's left of his dignity on the altar of Orange Man Bad. Bernie is an interesting case: Joe Rogan doesn't know it, but whatever case Bernie had for ideological purity and/or consistency he sacrificed when he flipped on illegal and mass immigration. In the meantime, though, he's gotten really famous and maybe even a bit powerful. The rest have clearly diminished themselves, especially Bloomberg and Warren.

Again?
Fact-checkers are actually truth-checkers, who speak truth to facts.
The Dems don’t have much of a bench since it’s a nest of loons and drooling incompetents. The lefties are nasty little shits, and there are no adults in the room. What’s left is Biden, the former mayor of a small Midwest town who happens to like tube steak, a collection of shrill harpies, and the odd billionaire or two who want to ride in the big shiny jet.

Anyone who thinks that IF Biden were actually elected President, that Biden would really BE the President, is delusional.
Biden's brain is pudding. Bad clotted congealed oily pudding at that.
A Biden Presidency would be one run by the Deep State. Crowds of (heretofore) faceless party apparatchiks would be running the show. Make all the decisions. They would just trot old Joe out and maybe whatever puppet VP they have chosen to provide comedy relief.
Meanwhile the machine would go on in the background. Behind the curtain that Trump has pulled partially back. It is ugly behind the curtain and the people Trump has exposed are furious.
They want Good Ole Puddin' Brain Joe to be their dupe and front man.
Eat your PUDDING. How else can you have your meat if you don't eat your pudding!!!
Can you imagine what 4 years of presidential stress will do to Biden’s mind?
That happened because the party has had no leadership — or terrible leadership, take your pick — since the Clintons were in the White House.
Obama was an outlier and pulled the leader-less party hard left with his Marxist agenda.
And so here we are.
4 years of presidential stress will do nothing to Slow Joe's mind, because between his two ears there is nothing. Nothing.

How is that showing mercy? For a politician it is better to be lying than to be mixed up.
Where were the moderators??? WHY didn't they call him out for lying about 15o million being killed by guns since 2007?? Maybe they should have Fox News moderate Democrat Debates, and the Rabid Left Media moderate Republican debates. That way, the lies can be called out. When both are debating, have a mixture of Fox and Liberal Media (not the liberal Fox News people though (Chris Wallace))
If Biden was a horse, the farmer would have already put the poor dumb animal out of his misery.

Joe is a dementia laden Trojan Horse. First, party leaders get him to name a socialist VP. Then, if elected, high ranking Dems and their media accomplices (which is basically the entire MSM) immediately start a campaign to label him incompetent (which he obviously is). He will then be removed during the first year leaving Dems with their dream outcome without ever having a socialist at the top of the ticket.
Meanwhile, thousands of Democrat and millennial imbeciles believe it.
Waters the co founder of pink floyd came from lefty parents his father was killed at anzio
150 million, what number was Biden supposed to say? 150 thousand?
If it was Trump, the WaPo would be calling him a LIAR for claiming 150 million deaths.
But since its a D, its just a "gaffe". That's our Joe, haha, just making gaffes.
Is he or is he not running for Senate?
Biden's campaign now states Joe meant he was "Separated" during his trip to visit Mandela, not "arrested". He had to go through the "White door" while Andrew Young went through the "Black door".
I'm not sure how that makes sense, but that's our Joe.
I'm more Concerned with Ol' Joe's belligerent attitude toward China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Turkey. He's goin' deal with 'em just like he did with Cornpop. He's an angry old codger.

Actually when you spend 50 or 60 years dumbing down the schools you shouldn’t be surprised at anything that happens.
The WaPo rewords what Trump says all the time. Only fair they should reword Biden.
The Washington Post giving a Democrat a break? That's the first time that has ever happened.
"And yet, after all this years-long ordeal, we're left with him as the best chance to avoid having an committed socialist as the major-party challenger to Trump. How the hell did that happen?! Well, I know how it happened, because I've been watching it happen every single day. But I still find it very, very weird."
And as the old saying goes, "You ain't seen NOTHIN' yet!"
150 million deaths or 150 thousand deaths? But how many attempted murders, home invasions, muggings, robberies and carjackings were stopped by armed citizens during that same time?
To hear the democrats talk, not a single one.
Althouse, you have been voting for socialists all your life. If you are surprised to find that you are going to do it again, that's because this one admits he's a socialist. There's not a dime's difference between him and any of the others, except maybe Bloomberg. They're all socialists, they all hate America, and they all have a plan to destroy it. You are just having a hard time deciding which plan you like best.
Well Joe is getting a little senile these days, but at least he hasn't publically sniffed any gal's hair in a while.
This is who they were catering to, this was clear from the first debate, just fhose the form of your destroyers.
I did not think that Joe was going to make much of a run right from the start, but his "campaign" has reached the point where it is painfully embarrassing. Clearly Joe - on top of his inherent faults - is suffering from advancing senile dementia. I would think his family would gather up the courage ( though that doesn't seem to be a strength of theirs) to have an intervention to get him to retire with whatever honor he has left.
I find it ironic in the extreme that when the Dems aimed their phony impeachment at Trump they ended up killing Biden.
@ Jupiter Your characterization of Ann's voting record , though phrased a bit harshly, is entirely accurate. Given that it is her right to vote for whomever she chooses you would think she could be a a bit more self -knowing about her past.
"I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something I loved from my childhood, something that could never, ever possibly destroy us: Vice President Joe Biden."
Heh, no hes like the green ghost.
These "fact checks" in Washpo are an odd remnant of the GW Bush years. THey would flyspeck each and everything Bush said but when Obama came along they sure were generous on what they called a "lie" didn't they?
After playing fireman for over a year defending Obamacare they would finally admit "If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor" was the "lie of the year" Thanks 'Fact Check', a day late and a dollar shot. Why does that keep happening when democrats are being rated?

___________+++++++++++++
Could it be they were going for 2 birds-1 stone
The betting markets have Biden in third place in SC, after Bernie and Bloomberg. So impeachment didn't quite kill him yet.
Joe Biden has never been very smart. He didn't earn the nickname "Slow Joe" for nothing. Today, he seems to have some form of dementia. I don't have to like the guy to feel sorry for him and his family.
It's time for "Operation Chaos" to switch to supporting Biden, not Sanders.
Yes, it would be elder abuse to keep him campaigning longer. But after all the women he's fondled, he deserves it
And so do the Democrats
WTF. Uncle Joe was only off by three orders of magnitude. That's got to be within the standard error, right?
Yeah he's not dead yet tcrosse, however, they haven't managed to stop the bleeding from that gut shot he took
Biden is set up to win big in South Carolina!
Why he appeals to the black community, I don't know, but on Saturday night, the odds of a brokered convention will go up substantially. Which will have every DNC bigwig sighing in relief.
Kessler uses a lot of words to say “Hey! It’s just Joe being Joe.” Followed by the obligatory wink-wink.
More and more, Biden reminds me of the old cartoon character Bulwinkle, who often remarked:
"I'm so confuuuussed!"

"Biden often gets stories mixed up"
Like, whether he's running for Senate or president?
So, what does it say about Dems that an appreciable number of them will vote for him?
Well, I know how it happened, because I've been watching it happen every single day.
Once upon a time there was a President deemed so terrible anyone could beat him...
So, what does it say about Dems that an appreciable number of them will vote for him?
We have been assured by Inga that everyone in the party can't wait to cast their ballot whoever the Dems decide to nominate.
We've been assured so often, it's been, like, 150 million times.
At this point, I for one would feel much more comfortable if Biden would say that he really REALLY isn't losing his mind.
We’ve corrected the record but will leave this unrated.
Why? It's a blatant falsehood which is easily noted as such.
The whole fact-checking industry was outed when they went from true/false to some kind of 0 - 5 rating scale.
No longer would truth be separated from fiction, but shades of truth would be extrapolated from mountains of fiction in service of the right people and priorities.
Wait until Bernie is the nominee. The entire fact-checking universe will be forced to shut down or implode.
Media fact checkers add nothing useful to any discussion, in my experience. It’s all just more of the predictable partisan garbage — who needs it?
Biden is clearly losing his marbles in real time, in public, and it’s sad and painful to watch. Put that in your “fact checker” machine, WaPo.
Biden: Listen, fat. After I freed the slaves, they were so thankful they wanted to rub the blond hairs on my legs. Then I built the log cabin I was born in with my own two hands. I challenge you to do that.
WaPo: Oh, he's just a little confused.
So who's the power behind Biden's throne? Dr. Jill? Or is it just his ego on autopilot?
So who's the power behind Biden's throne?
An excellent question. Somebody is supplying life support. Who and why?
Biden would be infinitely better than Bernie. At least Biden, confused as he is, has some institutional memory and connection to the country. He doesn't want to burn it all down.
Bernie hates America. Since he never worked a day in his life, has spent a lotta time in his Vermont cabin thinking/dreaming about what he can do to tear down the country. No, per Farmer, he's not gonna line up folks against the wall, and have them shot. But I don't recall Hugo Chavez promising that either. They, like all socialist revolutionaries, cause chaos with crappy gov't policies, that set in motion events that take over the country. Many of these events turn out bad. Duh.

When I visited Vermont, I think I saw Bernie - everywhere. It seemed like every time I turned around there, there was some gruff looking old guy wearing Birkenstocks with white socks getting out of a battered Volvo adorned with at least 20 bumper sticks ("CoExist!" "I Support Planned Parenthood" "Arms are for Hugging!" He was usually on his way to the farmer's market.

That's a FEATURE, not a bug; If you think about it,
It wouldn't be any different that the O'Bama admin
Current Joe sounds a lot like late Reagan, when handlers would pat his back like a draft horse to send him to the microphone.
I give this Washington Post fact check four Pinocchios.
Certain people mistaking the Twitterverse for the Electorate is how it happened. They will live to rue it yet again.

Trump has sought to tighten [food stamp] eligibility, but he has not required fingerprinting.
Why not fingerprint? Is it demeaning? A little bit I guess. 12 days ago we were at Disney, they fingerprint you when you go into the park in the morning. But Disney has more money at risk??? I don't think so.

Possibly.
Right up to the point where the Bernie Bros make the 1968 Democrat convention look like a tea party. If Milwaukie starts burning, teh Dems are not going to be happy
So who's the power behind Biden's throne?
An excellent question. Somebody is supplying life support. Who and why?
Hillary.
Plan A: Biden gets enough support to cause a brokered convention. Hillary steps forth to "save the party and the nation".
Plan B: Biden wins the nomination, but suddenly dies a week later. Hillary steps forth to "save the party and the nation".
Yes, it does sound strange that an avowed socialist could get the Democratic nomination, but there is some logic to it. The second-place finisher in one nomination race tends to be the front runner for the nomination in the next cycle. Romney, McCain, Clinton, Dole, Gore (not exactly, but close enough), Bush I, McGovern. It would have happened to Gary Hart if he hadn't messed things up for himself. There was nobody with the kind of following Bernie had except for two-time losers Clinton and Biden, so logically, he had the advantage.
And it's bizarre that the centrist Democrats put so much hope into Biden, but it also makes a kind of sense. When the campaign started, it was thought that he could push aside the other candidates. Sherrod Brown, say, would have to start as a newcomer, struggling with Klobuchar and Buttigieg and the others, while familiar old Joe could just sweep the other away. Of course, it didn't turn out that way, but the hope didn't look entirely crazy a few months back.
Plan B: Biden wins the nomination, but suddenly dies a week later. Hillary steps forth to "save the party and the nation".
Do you SERIOUSLY think they would Kill off Biden!?!
Ha ha, just kidding, of course they would...
If Trump had said it about Biden it would have gotten 4 Pinocchios. Because Joe said it- he gets a pass.
Do you SERIOUSLY think they would Kill off Biden!?!
Ha ha, just kidding, of course they would...
It's how we know that the bit about Hillary being Bloomberg's VP was put out there by Hillary's camp. No one without a deathwish is willing to name Hillary VP.
