Official Drinking Game, “The Speech Joe Biden Has Been Preparing For His Entire Life” Edition

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Start your Livers”.....
The DNC drinking game Monday night was so painful (and Tuesday was worse), that Ive decided to shorten the game tonight to cover Joe Bidens acceptance speech only.
I watched Biden speak probably a half-dozen times during the primary campaign, and perhaps a half-dozen times before. He has definite tendencies, and his stump speech hits the same six or seven notes every time, but convention addresses are different. Every line, every word, will be scripted. There shouldnt be ad-libs, freak-outs at hecklers, etc.
Guessing what an unscripted Joe Biden will do at any given moment is pretty interesting. Here were basically trying to guess what Biden and his handlers have decided to put on a teleprompter.
Biden will be speaking sometime after 9 p.m. I will be live-streaming with Katie Halper. Details to follow.
Drink EVERY TIME:
Biden says, Folks.
Biden says, The United States of America. Double-shots for any multiple-America construction, e.g. The best America is an America where Americans believe in the American dream.
Biden says, Middle-class.
Biden says, Get up! as in, Folks, youve got to get up! This is the United States of America!
Biden says, You guys.
Biden says, Barack or references the Obama-Biden administration.
Biden says, Soul of America.
Biden points out a surprising percentage of something, e.g. Look, folks, seventy-four percent of venture capital goes to four cities.
Biden says, My Mom used to say or mentions one of his fathers relatable jobs, e.g. He sold a hell of a lot of cars!
Biden makes a self-deprecating joke about his age or his tendency to say puzzling things.
Biden finishes a section of his speech with a rhetorical flourish, and he sounds angry, and you cant tell why, because hes talking about something non-angering.
Biden tells a story about a rewarding interaction with an ordinary person, as in, I walk over to the guy up in the bucket. And theres seven guys around him, all with hard hats on. I yelled up and said, Hey, man, thanks!
Biden references a job youve never heard of, as in Why is a sandwich maker being forced to sign a non-compete clause?
Biden says systemic.
Biden tells us theres nothing we cant accomplish.
Drink the FIRST TIME only:
Biden begins a sentence with, Look.
Biden mentions Scranton.
Biden says something that sounds sort of inappropriate.
You may FINISH THE BOTTLE or QUIT if Biden combines any four of the above in one sentence, e.g. Look, folks, weve got to get up if were going to be the kind of America we know America can be.
Malarkey, as always, is an automatic drink.
Again, apologies to Substack subscribers. Back to grownup content soon.
Take small sips and hydrate. Good luck, America!
