Joe Biden Explains How He Helped Expose America’s ‘Dirty Little Secret’
HUFFPOST ^ | April 7, 2016 | Melissa Jeltsen Senior Reporter

He’s called it a “public health epidemic.” A “stain on the moral character of a society.” An issue that “cuts to the very core of how we measure ourselves.”

We must, he says, “change the culture.”

Vice President Joe Biden has spent more than 20 years fighting to end violence against women in the United States. In the 1990s, as a senator, he wrote the landmark Violence Against Women Act, which drastically changed how the U.S. responded to domestic violence and sexual assault.

He’s still at it. After Biden became vice president, he appointed the first-ever White House adviser on violence against women. And this week, he’s touring the country speaking about It’s On Us, a public awareness campaign aimed at reducing campus sexual assault.

By my reasoning a “Violence Against Women” bill would violate the “Equal Protection” issue because it doesn’t address the violence against men and is therefore discriminative.

Any time you hear these people using the word “change” you’d do well to protect your wallet and your genitals and your weapons and your ammo.........not necessarily in that order.

What secret? It’s hard to find a social problem that has been more well-publicized.

Interesting that the guy writing a “Violence Against Women” bill enjoys swimming in the nude in front of his female Secret Service agents.

So the extreme leftists are trying to clean up biden’s image for a possible rescue-the- party- from- Hillary run (if Bernie suddenly runs out of gas? I don’t think he will ....?)

With apologies to mr. biden but the text editor didn’t recognize his name in order to capitalize it. NMF

Biden! There! Got it right for once! The text editor capitalizes his name if it’s the first word in the sentence.

We must, he says, “change the culture.”

Code for: We must force it on those who disagree, for their own good, no matter the consequences.

SHOTGUN JOE

I said shotgun - shoot 'em 'fore he run now.
Do the jerk baby - Do the jerk now.

Put on your red dress and then you go down yonder.
I said buy yourself a shotgun now,
We're gonna break it down baby now.
We're gonna load it up baby now,
And then you shoot 'em 'fore he run now.

I said shotgun - shoot 'em 'fore he run now
Do the jerk baby - Do the jerk now.

The vice president exclaimed “groping doesn’t hurt ‘em” as he was lead away. Followed by, “I like cake”.
