Working Class Dude Biden!
Back when he was VP
Image
WASHINGTON—Taking advantage of the warm spring weather Monday, Vice President Joe Biden parked his 1981 Trans Am in the White House driveway, removed his undershirt, and spent a leisurely afternoon washing the muscle car and drinking beer.

Vice President Biden ditched a day of presiding over the Senate to "give the twin cannons some sun."
"This baby just needs a little scrub down," said Biden, addressing a tour group as he tucked the sweat-covered top into the belt loop of his cutoff jean shorts. "Gotta get her looking good so I can impress the chicks when I'm cruising down Pennsylvania [Avenue]."

White House aides said that Biden pulled into the driveway shortly before noon, the chorus of Night Ranger's "(You Can Still) Rock In America" blaring from his car's stereo. According to witnesses, Biden spent several minutes maneuvering the Trans Am into the perfect spot, and was observed drumming his fingers on the steering wheel until the song came to a close.

The shirtless 66-year-old then entered the executive residence and greeted employees with a round of high fives and a variety of nicknames.

"Hey, hot stuff, looking good," Biden told a passing aide. "Would you know where I could get a little bucket and sponge action? My mean machine needs to be cleaned."

After acquiring the necessary washing materials, the bare-chested second-in-command returned to the driveway, where he spent several moments staring in apparent awe at the Firebird decal on the hood of his car.

I'm at the auto shop getting the old car serviced. The TV is on Fox, as are most TVs in this state at this hour. They ran a summary of the Dem debate. It was fairly accurate. Would gave saved time not watching it. A good portion of voters have lost interest. Just boring candidates left. "Just give us your candidate, then we will listen again."

Sanders or Biden. Steyer not likely.

Biden responded to that Onion piece to affirm that he prefers Corvettes to Trans-Ams. ;)

'Real Joe Biden Calls Out Fake Joe Biden Over Corvette V. Trans-Am Love'
In perhaps one of the most Bidenesque moments ever, the Corvette-loving real Vice President of the United States Joe Biden called out the fake Trans-Am-loving version of himself from The Onion, who at this moment is giving a real fake iAMA on Reddit.

I was at my auto place for service, and they run Foxnews all day. They had a woman working the desk before and she picked rather neutral shows, like all those home shows.

Anyway, they ran clips of the Democrats last night and then Trump at his rally. Democrats have problems, and need socialism to solve them. Trump says we are winning. The crowd at the rally maybe. He was giving the old positive Reagan message. And the Democrats just argue. "Why change horses in midstream" and all that.

If you have no problems getting by and are actually very proud of "never taking anything* from the government" you may go for that message.

*they get plenty, they have no idea

I had the remote in hand and just silenced the channel finally. No other customers.

... former Vice President Joe Biden reportedly asked advisors Wednesday how much longer he has to go through the routine of acting confused and doddering in order to avoid criticism. “Please, guys, I’m so tired of putting on this whole song-and-dance of stumbling over my words at every public appearance and painfully wincing so it seems like I’ve completely forgotten a foreign leader’s name,” said the presumptive frontrunner, looking at each and every one of his advisors with clear, thoughtful eye contact, while stressing that although his consistent lead in polling showed the strategy had worked spectacularly to shield him from any critique of his record, he also longed to drop this “entire frail-old-man act” and speak to audiences in full sentences that allowed him to robustly articulate his vision for restoring America’s soul. “Just give me a date when I can start fully enunciating my words in TV spots. That’s all. Obviously, I can keep doing the simple stuff like biting my wife’s finger or challenging audience members to push-up contests seemingly out of nowhere. I know you think that’s helpful. I get that it would sink me in the polls if I were held accountable for past statements and actions, but frankly it’s just exhausting to be constantly acting this mentally confused when I know I can be so much stronger out there.” At press time, Biden was begging his advisors to at least never again make him punch himself midway through a debate to give the appearance of his eye filling up with blood.

I don't understand the arguments surrounding healthcare. As far as I'm concerned insurance is a fucking parasite.

I'm happy to make health insurance a significant expense month to month provided it covers my family. But it doesn't, and everybody knows it.

What it looks like instead is that we all throw a lot of money into a pot for a select few to come skim off the top.

They would rather go bankrupt, get expensive care the last month you live (no cure) than get "socialism."

It's worse, healthcare isn't a right. A young man recently told me that if healthcare is a right then healthcare workers are slaves! :sigh:

Senators may try to use a soft approach to the election, and their own re-election. But Trump's instinct is to go down fighting, tweeting, insulting, bringing up all the items that get the base angry (guns etc)
And while GOP elders like McConnnell and several senators facing tough reelection fights might think he needs to cut down on the tweeting and provocative behavior to have a hope of winning over swing voters in November, there’s little sign that they’re right. Given his strong, consistent negative ratings and the implied futility of his trying to win crossover voters, Trump’s best hope is to gin up his base as aggressively as possible while shaving down turnout of Democratic groups even slightly — as worked for him in 2016.

Polling in some key states seems to confirm the merits of this calculation, though Democrats have plenty of time to change the dynamics before Election Day. The president has held steady, and even slightly ticked up, in the crucial purple state of Wisconsin running solely on the base strategy. A poll released this week found the highest job-approval rating for Trump in Wisconsin since he took office.
