I believe he is sincere and deluded.
And keep your hands where we can see them!
Yeah, but your victims do.
I will listen respectfully...
And then grope another 10 women.
All the opponents are getting buried before they get out of the gate :)
At this point, the only person left will be...I dont know, they’re all nuts and have a sordid past!
Because Biden, like all Liberals, believes inappropriate behavior is fine when he does it.
Joe sneaks in from behind.
Who writes his stuff? Bill Clinton?
11 individual acts of creepiness does not necessarily a pattern make.
Charles Manson, and for that matter Joseph Stalin, probably also never once believed they acted inappropriately, either. One’s own belief isn’t the correct measure of propriety.
Yep, he may well believe what he says, but there’s so much evidence to the contrary.
I like the one where he is stroking the leg of the big burly policeman. The look on the policeman’s face is priceless.
Well, as long as HE believed/felt he was okay, isn’t that what really matters?
“’Not once - never - did I believe I acted inappropriately’”
Maybe a BIG part of the problem. However, he’s been called on this in the past & apologized, his family has tried to explain it away. He just doesn’t stop. Apparently, he can’t help himself.
Umm, I think I see your problem, Joe.

Most jerks don’t think that they are jerks. That’s why they do what they do.
Biden has no sense of appropriate behavior. For him, that seems to be some sort of “defense”. But I think it just damns him.
