Biden calling anybody dumb?
Calling even a rock dumb?
Bwahahahahahaha!
The dim-bub cats have a real classy set of top enders...the Hillabeast, sloe Joe, and the clueless commie.
And the repulsicans still will blow it. Just wait.
Hillary’s people are really slow if they want to make a preemptive attack to keep him out of the race. Everybody in DC, in both parties, are convinced he is going to run.
Just remember...Joe lost the nomination to Mike Dukakis. That tells you something right there..
Typical democrat behavior.
Old Joe has a vulgar streak in him, that’s for sure.
Any you’re right - Repulsicans just don’t do smart.
This idiot has never polled out of single digits in any national campaign.....and this is who the democrats are betting the farm on!!
hillary figuratively throws her lamp.
My BIL and his NEA wife say that Joe is smart and a great speaker.
OTOH, my BIL said the other day that Cruz and Carson are *stupid*. That is the word he used.
You can’t talk rationally with libs.
Yeppers. The Hillary! attacks begin in her press corspe.
Funny that she does NOT attack the socialist, but it is ok to attack the sitting VP. Remind me about this when they accuse repubbies about ANY criticism of Obola.
Hillary attacks Joe by saying "He's crazy and an obnoxious boor - just like me."
The new book about the Secret Service,,,First Family Detail..tells how Plugs repeatedly swims in the nude in front of the Secret Service and just about anyone else.
What an uncouth buffoon.
And how is he any different that any other long-term Washington pol?
Well, it really is hard to compete against a guy that can drive a tank. ;-)
Well, you would have to be pretty dumb to be part of the Biden team. So, I guess, crude as it was, it was the truth.
They will try.
The goal now is to not be the party in charge when the last straw is added to the camel's back.
Hard to drive from the commander’s position.
I got my Abrams license on a weekend drill and that was pretty much all the advanced training I got in the national guard.
“Hillary attacks Joe by saying “He’s crazy and an obnoxious boor - just like me.”
The Pot meets the Kettle!
He didn’t just plagiarize speeches. He was caught doing it in law school too (from Wiki page) ............
“During his first year there, he was accused of having plagiarized 5 of 15 pages of a law review article. Biden said it was inadvertent due to his not knowing the proper rules of citation, and he was permitted to retake the course after receiving an “F” grade, ... “
I didn’t need to go to law school to know the rules. The rules were taught to us very well in undergrad.
