Biden’s best vice-president pick is obvious (Tammy Duckworth)
NYT ^ | June 28, 2020 | Frank Bruni, New York Times

Posted on 06/28/2020 4:29:19 PM PDT by Fawn

Whatever his wobbles, Joe Biden has, from the start of his presidential campaign, got one thing exactly right: The 2020 election is a battle for the soul of America. That’s not just a pretty slogan. It’s the stomach-knotting truth — and it’s the frame he should use for choosing his running mate. It’s why he should pick Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois. She’s a paragon of the values that Donald Trump, for all his practice as a performer, can’t even pantomime. She’s best described by words that are musty relics in his venal and vainglorious circle: “sacrifice,” “honour,” “humility.” More than any of the many extraordinary women on Biden’s list of potential vice-presidential nominees, she’s the anti-Trump, the antidote to the ugliness he revels in and the cynicism he stokes.

Susan Rice would be great for the dems, especially if Joe wins.

She is a vicious accomplished liar and an Obama/Hillary sycophant.

Her slipping into the presidency would be a hard continuation of CWll and the uptick of a bloody revolution in the USA.

Some people are, “physical.” Meaning that they are comfortable being touched or touching others. Joe Biden is more than that. His specialty is women and young girls.
He ignores obviously uncomfortable reactions and presses on. If left alone, I’m sure that he would go beyond reasonable boundaries and be arrested. What the charge would be, not my call but there are too many videos, of him in action, to deny his aggressive fondling of women. His actions are, obviously, unwelcome and therefore constitute a crime.

Before she was a senator, Tammy Duckworth took the congressional seat of the late, great Rep. Henry Hyde. He was my friend and mentor when I successfully ran for public office in the district next to his.

This district was in a solid conservative Republican county in the western suburbs of Chicago. Her win was an upset.

Duckworth was elected on her record as a Purple Heart veteran who lost two legs in Iraq when the helicopter she was in was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade.

As a female, a double amputee, an Asian-American and a decorated veteran, many in the Demoncrat party are pushing her for veep because they view her as politically "safe" and a sympathy-vote getter.

And Biden can safely say he picked a "woman of color" as number two on the ticket.

One of my long running jokes with Shibumi [RIP] but we weren’t really kidding.

The History Channel has basically become the Hitler Channel since Trump won.

Beating that dead horse to a pulp.

Senator Hyde was your mentor? Well, from what little I know about him, you must have been impressively smart to be one of his proteges. I don’t know a lot of his life, but I recall a few years before Hyde passed, he did something to make certain Hollywood actors VERY angry.
**
1998, actor Alec Baldwin visits the Conan O’Brian show, and says he wants to ‘stone Henry Hyde to death, then go to his home, and stone Hyde’s wife and children too’.

Alec got a pass on this very violent statement, as he always seems to do. All the Liberals just laughed.

I have that same pic at the ready too.

I’m not saying he’s the guy. Just that he does an awesome impression of what I would expect that guy to be.

In this docu-drama, they show that man being well-loved by throngs of crowds (limo scene - segment starts about 37:14 in).

“They” have said that the Antichrist is already walking the earth and was born in the 60s.

Obeyme was born 5 days after me.

No real proof of his parentage, came from basically nowhere, has a cult following that eerily includes Christians, Jews and Muslims.
[that is a very scary thing, right there]

He’s got that freaky WTF IS THAT?? scar on his head and honest to God, the sound of his voice causes a visceral reaction in me unlike anything else I’ve ever experienced.

The whole time he’s been public, I have not heard more than 5 minutes total of what he’s said because I utterly cannot abide to listen to him.
[he uses Neuro-Linguistic Programming like a pro]

The very sight and sound of him evokes a horror I cannot explain and Shibumi and I both felt that, along with a LOT of people on FR so it’s not something we imagined.

No idea what it means, if anything but I dread what he will do next because I feel in my soul that he is nowhere near done, yet.

I kept telling people he wasn’t finished. Some kept telling me yeah he is.

He ain’t finished.

Interesting that somebody noted he was born (or claims to have been born, anyways) on the 216th day of 1961.

Heh

Me too. I cannot abide his lies and half-truths. I have steadfastly refused to listen to him for years. Very few exceptions.

A “nice rack” is the media’s entire metric for females.
All they care about.

Yep - very possibly so - I have only encountered what I believed to be demon-possessed people 3 times - once just a month or so ago.

FWIW (for thread lurkers) the 216th day of 1961 was August 4th. The supposed day of Obama’s birth.

Now there’s a 216th day every year, of course.

216 = 6x6x6 - heh
