Joe Biden said on Saturday that as president, he would never use the military “as a prop or private militia” and accused President Donald Trump of employing U.S. forces to settle “personal vendettas” and violate citizens’ rights.

The Democratic presidential nominee, in a virtual address to the National Guard Association of the United States’ general conference, said Trump recommended “that you should be deployed to quote, ‘dominate,’ your fellow citizens for exercising their right to peacefully protest.”

“We’re so much better than this,” Biden said. “You deserve so much better.”

Biden is such a putz I’m sure the military would object to being a prop for the Democrat idiot.

Of course he’s lying. Both about the President’s use of the military and what he himself will do. I’m tempted to say he’s scum (his record of lying and ethical violations argues for this), but I have to concede there’s a pretty good chance he’s progressed in dementia to the point that he really doesn’t understand what his handlers are telling him to say.

Perhaps his minders are afraid CIC Biden might get the Anwar Sadat treatment from the military? Difference being Sadat was a good guy.

It’s difficult to tell which would be worse for Biden’s chances in November - just letting him babble on incoherently or pumping him full of stimulants and having him carefully read off the insane Marxist talking points his handlers are feeding him.

Either way - keep it up Joe!

Basement Joe Biden is affiliated with the army of Communist China; just ask his son Hunter who’s the Democrat Communist bag man on the board of Chinese companies.

I spent some time with some members of the media who both had worked for Milley at some point in their careers. Neither had much good to say about him.
