Biden to lay out vision for post-Trump America as he accepts Democratic nomination

[Phoenix Rising]

'As Biden prepared to accept Democratic nomination for president, a furious Trump took to Twitter'

 

"As Joe Biden prepared to take the most important step in his political career thus far, on Thursday, President Donald Trump was having an entirely different kind of day.

Trump's former strategist, Steve Bannon, was indicted for fraud Thursday, and court documents show that New York prosecutors are working to reinstate an indictment against another Trump associate: his former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, for mortgage fraud, and earlier on Thursday, a federal judge rejected Trump's motion to block the Manhattan district attorney from obtaining his tax returns.

To add to Trump's grief, more than 70 former Republican national security officials, including some former members of the Trump administration, came out in support of Biden."

Of course, one of the reasons it's been praised so highly is that thanks to Trump and his fellow-travelers, expectations were so low. Looks like that senile-dementia meme, and not Biden, is past its expiry date.

He seems a nice but sometimes creepy old man.  Pity he losing his marbles as he seemed OK 5 or so years ago.  I wonder who is writing this vision for him, clearly he is not.

spoke too soon.

I do wonder how someone is nice  but sometimes creepy. But if you want creepy, you got it

Yep.

 

Oh, sorry you meant Joe was creepy? Really? Why is that?

 

[mtls2005]

The Jay Leno video is better...

 

but Joe loves his '67 'Vette - he received from his father as a wedding present, new in 1967. 

 

Marbles appear fully intact.

Sleepy Joe? Could you at least try to be less lame with the name calling? Anyway, these guys disagree with you:

 

'Chris Wallace believes Joe Biden’s speech ‘blew a hole’ in Trump’s characterization of him'

 

"Presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden closed out the Democratic National Convention with a powerful acceptance speech on Thursday. In fact, the speech even impressed the hosts and Fox News Democracy 2020 analysts like, Brit Hume, Bret Baier, and Chris Wallace."

Democrats and "vision" in the same sentence?  Surely a typo.  Dems will do the same as every other time they've fallen in to power - spend other people's money recklessly, and achieve precisely nothing.  More likely is 4 more years of whining and calling for endless pointless enquiries while President Trump carries on with his mission to make America great again.

Yeah, but not with their daughter. I hope.

 

trump is an 11 out of 10 on the Creep-o-meter. He said as much on the Access Hollywood tape.

 

Joe is a ZERO out of 10 on that same meter.

 

Just waiting for the photo of Joe consoling his grand-daughter at his son's (Beau) and her father's fuenral. That one makes the rounds on the right-wing-nut sites.

You haven’t been paying attention the last 31/2 years, have you?

Why, because he won't give big tax breaks to corporations and 1 %-ers?

I am extremely thankful to the heavens, for this upcoming change. A man of decency replacing a 14 foot crocodile. The world will rejoice, when Trump is unceremoniously and against his will, ushered out of Washington. Potentially by federal marshalls, if he puts up enough resistance, and continues living in total denial of reality.

Contrast that to trump's rage tweeting during this address.

So much for the Trump narrative that old Joe couldn't put a sentence together. Expect a nice poll bounce from tonite's performance. Unless buddy Putin can pull off a  miracle things don't look too good for Trump. Might be best for Joe to have someone taste his food  and drink before consuming it up to election day.

Perhaps you missed this part of Biden’s acceptance speech:  There has “never been anything we’ve been able to accomplish, when we’ve done it together.”

So Joe gets a pass on this, because he’s a Democrat?

A passionate and impressive acceptance speech. Leave the GOP in a bind. If Trump read from the telepromter, we can be sure of a tortured medicated low energy speech. If he is allowed to speak freely, it will be a disastrous lies laden and incoherent. Perhaps he should taped his speech.    

maybe Trump should take a page out of the Bob Dylan playbook of effective communication:

Given Joe Biden has accomplished nothing in nearly 50 years in DC, I'd say he was being very candid and honest in that moment.

He might even shock and awe and show his official passing grade for the dementia test.  He seems quite proud of that.  It may be one of the few tests he passed without cheating, unlike his SAT.

It's quite obvious his team put that speech together.  He made it through the first reading, but if he gives it a few times between now and the convention he'll be bored and go off in the usual manner.

The acceptance speech he gave in 2016, which went on for about an hour, was strictly from script.  Hey Sean, did you see his teleprompters?

 

I don't see why he even bothers with this voting business, his overall strategy is to have this election come down to cheating and lawyers, the way he's handled things his whole life.

I had to take a version of that test a few weeks ago, part of my annual health exam.  It's somewhat insulting to be asked to do it.  But it makes DT so proud!  hmmm....

Joe Biden certainly has my support to do exactly what happened last time and that was to increase the odds of The Donald winning the presidency. The odds are increasing by the day and I'm 'Biden' my time.

This probably sounded better in the original Russian?

 

"lick China's ass"?

 

"the man is senile", trump? yeah, you got that one right.
