Joe Biden mixed calls for unity with jabs at President Trump Saturday as he officially launched his presidential campaign in Philadelphia. Speaking on a Philadelphia stage accompanied with screens that encouraged supporters to text “UNITED” to a campaign number, Biden appeared in his signature Aviator sunglasses to cast his White House bid as an effort to “restore the soul of our nation.” “Our politics has become so mean, so petty, so negative, so partisan, so angry and so unproductive, so unproductive. Instead of debating our opponents, we demonize them. Instead of questioning judgement, we question their motives. Instead of listening, we shout. Instead of looking for solutions, we look to score political points,” he said.

“Instead of debating our opponents, we demonize them.”
“For example, the way I demonize Trump”.
“Our politics has become so mean, so petty, so negative, so partisan, so angry and so unproductive, so unproductive. Instead of debating our opponents, we demonize them. Instead of questioning judgement, we question their motives. Instead of listening, we shout. Instead of looking for solutions, we look to score political points.”
You’ve succinctly described the modern Leftist douchebag to a “T” Sparky. LOL. He has brain damage, obviously.
Unity to Democrats means everybody who’s in lock step with them. Just like diversity means everybody who thinks exactly as they think.
Can’t we all just get along.
“We’re gonna have unity no matter how much we have to tear the country up to do it!”
Unity is overrated.
You know what country had unity? Nazi Germany.
Joe really is one stupid motherf*cker.
He’s failed so many times at running for President.
A dog should know when it’s beaten
No, I will not be unified with leftists who threaten my faith and liberty.
Yeah he said he can work with Republicans, by which he means that he favors RINOs who will vote like a Democrat. Never once would he ever vote for any core Republican policy.
Two things come to mind when I think of Joe Biden. They are plagiarism and hair plugs.
You forgot rocks. And clowns. And shirt lifters. And so on and so forth
Would punishing people with the IRS, FBI and CIA be considered unifying Joe?
....This from an arrogant @sshole hypocrite who recently called all Trump supporters “the dregs of society.”
I’m surprised he didn’t call us irredeemable deplorables.”
Don’t be too hard on Creepy Joe.
He said a lot of things that will make liberals hair catch on fire. Like that we were “One People”....stopped short of saying “under God”, but he was trying to be patriotic in his own “center Democrat” way.
I for one will grab a glass of lemonade and wait for the liberals to rake him over the coals before doing anything.
On a different subject, I’d pay to watch the young, cool Democrats stage a cage match with Plugs & Sanders. Yeah, it would be short but I’m not sure who would collapse first.
Joe Biden can’t even unite the Democratic party, even though all Democrats hold the same views — that taxes should be raised, abortions should be allowed at all stages of pregnancy, that climate change is an existential threat, and that Donald Trump is the worst human being ever to walk the earth.
As Joe Biden was delivering his speech today to a small crowd of supporters, 25 other Democratic presidential hopefuls were also delivering speeches to their own small crowds of supporters. Democrats don’t want unity. Every Democratic voter wants to support the candidate who best promotes his or her favorite interest group, ethnic group, gender, sexual preference, or favorite kind of failed left-wing Venezuela-producing policies.
Old, boring, moderate White male Joe Biden is the last person most Democrats would want to unite behind, although if he continues to be the front runner, he will become the candidate most Democrats want to unite AGAINST. Then Joe will have his long-sought unity.
Crazy Joe draws a “crowd” of 500-1000. Meanwhile, the President draws thousands in arenas while thousands are outside cheering. Trump will also have a rally in Philadelphia next week too. The crowd size comparison will leave Biteme & Democrats quivering bowls of jello
Thanks for posting. So we can ridicule.
I pulled up NBC’s live video from a previously recorded string. Here are my observations.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpprgcB4cj0
Saturday afternoon, nice weather, in Phillie. Biden drew about 80 people that got free t-shirts and stood behind the stage as backdrop. There must have been around 200 in the audience.
NBC didn’t even have their sound plugged in. Could hardly hear when the first couple manly women took the stage. When the lady choir took the stage, couldn’t hear them either but it looked like they had several baritones.
The audience was 90% white, and I’m being generous. I saw one black dude, one guy in a yarmuka, and one dude with a muslim hat. Otherwise, all white.
At around 20 minutes into the 1:16 video, they start bringing up white people to warm the crowd up. But they have sound system problems.
The chick is done talking at about 23 minutes, but no one can hear what she’s saying. The suit comes on stage with at least 10 roadies over the next minutes.
At 35:00 they clear the stage.
At 38:00 a woman, I think Jill Biden, approaches the stage. No one can hear her. She’s wearing a yellow knee-length summer dress with a man’s black blazer with “LOVE” in glitter on the back.
At 45 minutes, creepy joe makes his appearance. Tries to take two steps at a time to get up on the stage. Takes one, maybe two, and he’s there. Trying to look energetic in blue suit, open collared shirt, and signature aviator sunglasses.
He doesn’t sniff Jill.
He starts talking, but again, no audio mic only the mic from the back of the crowd. Chants of “Joe” from the anemic crowd. Creepy child molester starts talking. Will die with Philly in his heart, Trump bad, climate revolution, every American will vote for him because climate, barack and Joe love women (well, half right), beat Donald Trump, American factories will literally be underwater and close due to global warming flooding, defeat Donald Trump, beat Trump, threat to democracy by torch-carrying Trump supporters, in three years (sic) Trump’s only accomplishment is instilling fear, Trump is a tyrant and dictator, Trump hates Mexicans, Trump thinks he is above the law, neo-NAZIs, white supremacy, Trump hates children and loves dictators.
In summary, he invokes Lincoln at Gettysburg. Implies that if Trump isn’t defeated, “democracy will perish from the earth”. We’re better than all the world combined but without leadership, the workers will be stifled. Hope over fear, truth over lies, unity over division. Show who we are, beat Trump.
Crowd clears as soon as he’s done in about 20 seconds. (1 hr 15 into video). appearance by creepy looking young ladies, like the twins from The Shining. Dark-circled eyes. Other children come up, obviously coached to give a hug and kiss. He grabs the ass of the woman in the black blazer from earlier. The other kids give him a one-armed hug and try to get away. Very awkward.
Video cuts one and a half minutes after he’s done speaking. The crowd is already mostly gone. Close shot only by NBC cameras.
Observations.
1. Biden drew a crowd of a couple hundred in what should be his territory. Especially on a nice Saturday afternoon in Union-town.
2. The whole thing was a fiasco, visually. If the news shows any of this expect it to be in a day or two once they can edit the tape. Mostly for audio.
3. The speech was global warming and beat Trump. Nothing else.
4. He’s got pig-eyes from too much plastic surgery. He probably has nose hair on his cheeks from getting pulled back so tight.
5. He sounded like a high school kid in a debate contest defending a position he doesn’t believe. No passion, just platitudes on topics that don’t matter.
There. Now you don’t have to watch the video.
If this is the leading dem, then they’ve got a hot mess on their hands.
