Slow Joe Biden was greeted by a small crowd of reporters.

A large crowd the size of a non-crowd.

Mal said...

Find a love that looks at you the way the press looks at Biden.

What’s with the kneeling shit?

Biden couldn’t find his ass even if he used both hands, and a fleshlight!

Putting anyone in danger like that is despicable. Stay in the basement, Joe!

She spelled reporters wrong.

Marcus Bressler said...

We know the polls are as inaccurate at they were in 2016. IF Biden remains the nominee, the Democrat Party will suffer its worst lost since McGovern.

THEOLDMAN

Even Cornpop won't vote for Slow Joe because he's decided he's not black either.

AllenS said...

When the reporters outnumber the attendees, it's a good indication that the star attraction ain't cuttin' it.

Andrew said...

Even if I were a Biden supporter, I wouldn't understand why he's kneeling. What's the rationale? "I'm imitating a police officer with his knee on a man's neck"? If it's a Colin K. thing, what's the point of doing it at his own home? Was someone playing the Anthem in the background? Or was he just reminiscing about playing marbles as a child?


wendybar said...

STILL believe the polls????

I watched the full video. I count maybe 10 actual people from the area.

If two is company, and three is a crowd, they are technically correct.

Rocketeer said...

This has a distinct "Puppet Show and Spinal Tap" air about it.

Howard said...

At least Slo Joe can kneel down and stand up in public while being filmed. President Donald J Cunt couldn't do that without shitting himself, stumbling, then with secret service assistance to his feet.

If joe biden stopped by around our neighborhood, id probably go take a look-see too.

but, as noted, seems like there are more reporters than people.

Hahahhahaha!

The kneeling thing is weird. Why do the kneel in homage to Kolin Kaeperninck, when that same kneel is what killed George Floyd?

Mary Beth said...

She spelled reporters wrong.

They're not all reporters. I'm pretty sure several are staff.

AllenS said...

When Biden kneels, he's trying to let everyone know that he thinks: "I could kill you with one knee tied behind my back."

Tom T. said...

Why is he kneeling? Was the anthem playing?

The best part of your drooling is how we people rise to the bait defending our Glorious Fearless Magnificent Leader, right? As in the previous post, it's true, why even bother.

But if only you could stop showing your ass all the time...it's so fat...it's soooo dirty...don't you ever wipe let alone bathe? The smell! And yet, with familiarity comes boredom. Like walking by a hog lagoon to school every day: what smell?

But it is still right to expect and demand that you (or a Politicoite) act like a human being. Doesn't mean it's not futile.

Tom T. said...

That seems like terrible advance work, to have so few people there for this event.

Dust Bunny Queen said...

Ya...I KNOW. Franklin Delano Roosevelt would have a hard time doing that too.

How you walk, or stand, or drink a glass of water, is sooooo important in being President. Much more important than having a functioning brain. (which Biden sadly does not have)

/facepalm

tcrosse said...

Joe, while you're down there, sing "Mammy".

tim in vermont said...

Notice that he has thrown climate change under the bus already to win PA. “Fracking is not on the chopping block!” That doesn’t sound like a Democrat who thinks PA is in the bag because people hate Trump so much.

So two points, one, he’s selling out the greens, two, there is a “chopping block."

pacwest said...

That is weird. I'm sure there must be some explanation out there somewhere. Inga?

Bay Area Guy said...

Slow Joe is not all there. He makes Grandpa Simpson look like a Rhodes Scholar.

Come November, when their delusions meet reality, this small gaggle of fawning reporters is gonna take it really hard.

Sally327 said...

I think this is designed to give Biden credit for getting out, wearing a mask and observing social distancing, unlike President Trump who does get out but only in poorly staged events like the Tulsa Rally, which will cause millions of people to get COVID-19 and die.

Plus Biden gets on one knee to put himself on the level of those sitting so he isn't towering over them, because he has empathy. He is an old white man, sure, just like President Trump, but he's nicer and more conscientious about health rules. And he has empathy.

tim maguire said...

A crowd of supporter.

Me too. The entourage makes for quite a spectacle.

DanTheMan said...

Thread winner.

Leland said...

The crowd is all reporters, because no one is walking their neighborhood wearing business clothing and id card on a lanyard, even if it is common for people to hold up their phones to record things. When Trump speaks to reporters on his way to Marine One; he is capable of standing up during the entire thing.

rehajm said...

If the SS have to act a mask would seem to be a dangerous impairment.

Rory said...

"That seems like terrible advance work, to have so few people there for this event."

We have to consider the possibility that Biden thought he still lives there.

MayBee said...

This is not related to the post, but the web address I'm seeing at the top of this page starts with draft.blogger.com. That happens sometimes. What is that about?

His supporters all happen to carry microphones.

It is true that the Press is Biden's biggest supporter.

Darkisland said...

Did anyone (looking at you, Howard) notice how many times he touched his mask? Howard, you are the one who told us never, never, ever, do this.

He even took it off for a bit.

Is this a deal breaker, Howard?

PDJT only wears a mask when it makes sense under who guidelines. But when he does wear one, he wears it correctly. At least when the cameras are on.

gilbar said...

if you watch the link Rory gave, with the wider angle;
you can see that a caravan of AT LEAST ten vehicles (including a Press Bus AND Police)

If a caravan of vehicles, with Press and Police, showed up on your street; i'd be surprised if you didn't come out at see... Yet, still NO ONE

Darkisland said...

Howard,

Yesterday you seemed to say that you wear a mask when swimming. You seemed to say you thought others should too.

Did i understand you correctly? Frankly it seems like wearing a mask in the water would be pretty difficult.

I suspect I misunderstood but can you confirm?

Sally speaks TRUTH TO POWER, when she states:

THERE YOU GO! of the 6 thousand people at the Tulsa Rally, MILLIONS WILL DIE

if Anyone, Ever wants to take Sally seriously; consider THAT

currently, the WHOLE WORLD has about one Half of a million covid deaths
But SALLY (who is SUPER SMART!) tells up that MILLIONS WILL DIE because of Trump's Tulsa Rally

That's not what I said.

David53 said...

Reports estimate the crowd between 40,000 to 50,000.

Francisco D said...

Joe may be kneeling because he is starting to lose his balance (a brain and inner ear issue). Standing for long periods of time may be difficult for him.

Dementia is a truly awful thing.

Wince said...

It looked like he knew enough to stay away from the curtilage of his "boyhood home."

Maybe they keep a double barrel shotgun for such occasions as Biden showing up?

Notice the YouTube link begins... "Crzy".

mikee said...

Joe Biden has dementia, and that is the only thing important about his campaign.
Stop this abuse of the elderly. Stop this campaign.

crowd?

exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...

Boy, just feel the excitement!

Why did Joe take a knee? I'm thinking he might have a touch of altitude sickness after coming up out of the basement. Or else he's practicing what will be his customary stance when he has talks with the Chinese

Howard, you losing it. That was Nancy who couldn't get up without half the Capital police helping her.

I looked at the YouTube video and thought may be he was kneeling because there was a kid there but no kid. Maybe an imaginary one.

So, anyone remember the coverage Hillary! got in mid-2016 during her tour around America? It's all proceeding according to plan. But whose plan will win?

PuertoRicoSpaceport.com said...

Tim,

Of course there is a chopping block. As in a block to chop off people's heads.

It is baked into socialism. Read Marx. See esp page 3 (or so, varies with edition) of Capital for a concise explanation of why.

Bruce Hayden said...

“ Why did Joe take a knee? I'm thinking he might have a touch of altitude sickness after coming up out of the basement. Or else he's practicing what will be his customary stance when he has talks with the Chinese”

My follow on question would be whether his handlers somehow thought that a good look for him, esp with the rage of kneeling by protesters and rich Black sports stars. The Dems’ Congressional leadership tried kneeling together, all with matching African motif masks and neck thingies. No doubt some like Palsi and Waddler needed some help to get up and down. Probably several aides to help Waddler. It’s not a good look for a Presidential candidate. This was a bit like Obama bowing to the Saudi king. At that point, leaders around the world knew that they could push him around. Can you imagine the guy he expects to be his Russian counterpart kneeling to anyone? The guy who rides a horse bare chested to show his strength, then has that image of him photoshopped to show him riding a large bear?

And if it wasn’t his handlers, then why did they let him do it? Same bad optics, of Biden sucking up to BLM and AntiFA. I heard him mumbling about this old house he had grown up in. That again is a sign of dementia.

Ok, first, something else holds the "fleshlight".

Bilwick said...

Biden: "Hey, little girl, let me smell your hair."

Secret servicemen: "May Day--swarm, SWARM!"

Yancey Ward said...

I watched the longer clips that are available, I didn't see more than 10 people there who weren't Secret Service or reporters. In the one clip on Althouse, I see exactly two such people.

tds said...

why is he kneeling? Have the neighbors called the police on a black kid who accidentally was walking to a school there, and the kid was shot and killed?

Gk1 said...

Reminds me of the old vaudeville joke "His act was so bad it couldn't draw flies" I think Obama said it best: "Joe, you don't have to do this"

Somehow this came to mind:
Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin
I came to win, battle me that's a sin
I won't ever slack up, punk you better back up
Try and play the role and yo the whole crew'll act up
Get up, stand up (c'mon!) see'mon throw your hands up
If you've got the feeling, jump across the ceiling
Muggs lifts a funk flow, someone's talking junk
Yo I bust him in the eye, and then I'll take the punk's hoe
Feelin', funkin', amps in the trunk and I got more rhymes
Than there's cops at a Dunkin' Donuts shop
Sho' nuff, I got props
From the kids on the hill plus my mom and my pops
I came to get down, I came to get down
So get out your seat and jump around!
Jump around!
Jump around!
Jump around!
Jump up, jump up and get down!
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! (Everybody jump)
Jump! Jump! Jump!…

Waddler was smart enough to not kneel. He was the only one not taking a knee, as they say.

RobinGoodfellow said...

“Crowd”?

Seems to be mostly staffers, security, and press photographers. I mean, sure, there are still more than four folks left after you discount those, but it’s hardly a crowd. And I’m certain that they are just mostly curious neighbors.

jeff said...

Was that a little girl he was speaking to? Lucky for her there’s a 6ft rule, otherwise she’d be traumatized for life, creepy Joe sniffing her hair!

narciso said...

Waddler was one of those who pushed for susan rosenberg's pardon, talk about a contagion,

Rabel said...

On a C-SPAN video of this you can see that he knelt to talk to a small boy who then hid behind his Mother at the sight of the strange man with a black mask.

Big Mike said...

Eliminate Secret Service agents, reporters, and staffers, precisely how large is his crowd?

I already knew that all reporters are Biden supporters. Now it appears that all Biden supporters are reporters.

Known Unknown: You're right, thanks.

John Henry: the crazy people swim group, including me, don't wear masks outside or in the water. Touching a mask ain't no thang. It doesn't endanger others and surface transfer isn't a significant exposure pathway. Hand washing makes it an even bigger nothing Burger.

DBQ: True, but FDR wasn't a bully. It's permissible to personally attack Trump because he is asking for it and has such a thing skin, makes up silly lies to excuse his shortcomings. When you people repeat his lies, it's pure comedy gold. Thanks!

Gk1 said...

I think Joe needs to do more outreach to the inner cities and allow children of all ages to look and feel his leg hair. It's this kind of out of the box thinking his staff needs to start engaging in if they want to turn this around. He could formulate his bus tour into "The Cornpop Tour"

Bruce Hayden said...

“ Waddler was smart enough to not kneel. He was the only one not taking a knee, as they say.”

And I noticed that not all of their masks matched. What they did have in common was their kneeling (except, apparently, for Waddler) and wearing of matching kente stoles.

steve uhr said...

"I couldn't come to Scranton without stopping by the old house" Surprising there isn't always a large crowd camoped there just in case Biden comes to town and stop at his old house.

Ann is playing to her base I guess.

steve uhr said...

And of course one can't tell how many people are there from the clip. Could be 10 Could be 1000.

rcocean said...

Of course, he was surrounded by supporters - they press is always there. one could just as easily write "Trump surrounded by Hostile Mob", that note in the body it was only dispersed at the end of the Press conference.

Its insane that we will probably elect a 78 y/o man, who can't even get out of his basement. He'll be the first US president to be elected without ever taking a tough question.

Gk1 said...

How do you develop enthusiasm for a geriatric who's afraid to go out in public? All partisanship aside, how is Joe going to campaign? The traditional method of mobilizing paid democratic supporters is over. It's hard to bus in paid SEIU union cut outs when they are afraid to get on a bus. Trump has authentic and enthusiastic supporters willing to wait outside arenas. What does Joe have? A press pool and a few stand in shills?

They can try more "spontaneous drive bys" but the Biden handlers are deathly afraid to let their unscripted dementia patient engage with the public without it turning into an embarrassing shouting match. What to do, what to do?

You can tell by the how the "crowd" surged forward after the kneeling part....

15 people tops....and those were just the looky-loos who came out to see what the kerfuffle was.

That's still more than when Trump knelt at Biden's boyhood home. Rewrite!

You remind me of my DIL's story about 2004. She was staying in Boston with a friend on Beacon Hill. They were up late and heard a commotion. It was Kerry's entourage returning to his house. The two girls ran down the street in their bathrobes and slippers to see. They stood and talked to the cops and Secret Service guys for half an hour. Two cute girls in bathrobes collect a crowd at 11 o'clock. They had fun and got all the stories about police calls to the Kerry house for drunken fights with between the gigolo and Teresa.

Joanne Jacobs said...

My father did campaign work many years ago. They'd always get the candidate on Michigan Avenue or State Street (Chicago) at noon, because there were huge lunch-time crowds and it was guaranteed to look like a great turn-out. Failing a guaranteed crowd, a campaign staffer is supposed to make some calls and turn out some locals to greet the candidate.
