Sleepy Joe

The presumptive Democratic nominee is prone to one mistake after the next.

Now that Bernie Sanders has dropped out, it looks like the Democrats finally have their candidate — the guy we knew it would be from the beginning. But what exactly are the Democrats getting? A Hillary Clinton with some public speaking problems and a checkered past.

So let us begin with Joe Biden’s long list of gaffes. But before I do, I understand that all politicians and speakers encounter a few of these embarrassing moments. However, for Joe it seems to happen too often.

“Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”

Imagine if President Trump said this.  He would be crucified by the media and the country–rightfully so. So after that you can see why many Americans feel the mainstream media is a bit biased.

Thankfully for Trump and fellow Republicans, Joe does not even know what office he is running for. In a recent rally Joe said, “My name’s Joe Biden. I’m a Democratic candidate for the United States Senate.” This guy will be great on the world stage negotiating deals with China.

The gaffe-filled candidate seemed to defend China, who is largely responsible for the spread of this disease and for trapping us in our homes, by saying that Trump’s travel ban was just an addition of his record of  “xenophobia.”  Yet doctors and professionals say that the band saved American lives and bought the United States time to prepare, since the medical supplies were not restocked during the Obama administration, according to a USA TODAY report.

I must wonder how we would all feel if we were under the leadership of Joe Biden during this crisis. As he recently said on ABC’s The View, “We have to take care of the cure. That will make the problem worse no matter what. No matter what.” It’s rather hard to make any sense of such a statement.

Creepy Uncle Joe has not made matters better for himself in other areas of his life — from sniffing a baby to having over 8 women accuse him of touching them inappropriately and one recent sexual assault allegation that is particularly disturbing. Whether or not you believe that claim is true, I’d ask you to look back at the Kavanaugh conundrum. Remember when the #Metoo movement were so avid to get to the bottom of the judge’s past? It caused Kavanaugh and his family to endure extreme scrutiny, even though the FBI and other investigative journalists deemed that there was no evidence to substantiate those claims or that she had any credibility . The Biden allegations deserve the same attention.

The New York Times tweeted this, “No other allegation about sexual assault surfaced in the course of our reporting, nor did any former Biden staff corroborate Reade’s allegation. We found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Biden, beyond hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable.” The tweet was later deleted.

To top this all off, it seems Joe has some interesting ties to China, as his son. The New York Post reported in 2019 that Joe Biden had met with Hunter’s Chinese partners and that his son has made millions in the communist nation. “It is in our self-interest that China continue to prosper,” Joe said. Or maybe it is in his own self-interest.

For Democrats, a virtual convention would be beneficial to old Joe. The smaller the live on-air time he gets the better he will be come November. For Dems, the strategy must be to keep Joe out of the media. With the added time, train him for a debate because I do not think the world has enough popcorn for a Trump-Biden debate.

So when you are sitting by the pool this summer, remember that Joe Biden’s leg hair turns blonde, and thank God that you weren’t one of the kids who used to “come up and reach in the pool and rub my leg down.”
