Biden tells autoworker he’s full of ****

[William Thornton]

...give the candidate a trophy.

[Joseph Patrick]

From Gerry Milligan ... considering the context, while he used language not used in 1st Baptist of Podunk Holler, was the autoworker trying for a reaction? If so, he was successful.

[Tim Bonney]

You need to read the whole story. The autoworker accused Biden of intending to takeaway everyone's guns. But Biden happens to be a gun owner and has no such intention. Biden has always been a straight shooter, so to speak. He calls BS when he sees BS.

I got several hits on the video, but this was the only one I could get to play on my computer. It is a minute and 29 seconds and apparently cover the entire exchange.

Noting that the Republican, Evangelical "good" Christian response at a Trump rally to something equally as crude would be cheers and applause for five minutes, followed by chants of "you're full of ----, I say, good for Biden. It's about time someone challenged all of the lies and propaganda floating around.

It doesn't appear to have affected the fact that Biden crushed the Michigan primary.

ABC affiliate WXYZ-TV of Detroit has posted a video of the exchange on YouTube. Here is a link. Wouldn't want JP/GM to defile himself watching it on a RW web site, so here you go.

You guys have it made. Anything your candidate can do or say, Donald Trump has done worse and more often. You will never admit any wrongdoing on their parts, just point out "What about Trump". Easy peasy.

Au revoir.

This will be my last post in this forum. What you refuse to see is that I this is not about comparing Biden to Trump, or Schumer to Trump, but that I am talking about YOUR reactions. You have no need to investigate or criticize your star players, because Trump gives you an eternal out. Just say, “What about Trump.” Practically every political post you make proves that to be the case.

With sadness I just deactivated Robert Vaughn's account. I would strongly urge all of us to make a real effort to discuss matters in this politics forum with respect for our interlocutors. I understand where Robert is coming from on this, and I can't blame him for leaving.

Robert has previously made it clear that he is not an apologist for Trump, did not vote for him, etc. But he left more because he sees the discussions here as pointless than because they are pointed. He has better things to do with his time and has gone off to do them. So to speak. I don't think anybody here attacked him, nor that he felt they did. But he did feel that some, perhaps most, of us here see Trump's failings as an appropriate excuse for not criticizing our own favorites. And I can see how he might feel that way.
