At 76, Joe Biden is one the oldest people to ever mount a presidential campaign, and in his first speech as a presidential candidate Monday, it showed.
The Pennsylvania native and former vice president who just announced his third attempt at a run for the White House repeatedly stumbled and slurred his way through his brief, 27-minute remarks in Pittsburgh Monday. His almost every sentence was peppered with verbal stumbles.
He opened: I want to thank Rich Fritzgerald, the county executive for the baladanny the Alleghengy County executive for being here.
The country wasnt built by Wall St. bankers, CEOs, and hudge heh and hedge fund managers, Biden stammered during what was supposed to be a headline moment.
At various points he stumbled over words like dignity, successful, and hospitals. Occasionally words were entirely indecipherable.

The DEMOCRAT PRIMARY may prove to be to much for SLOW JOE. The candidates and the DEMOCRAT PARTY itself are off the rails.
Joe needs a hug.
SNOPES: The Founding Fathers placed no limits in the U.S. Constitution regarding how many times any one person could be elected (or otherwise serve) as President of the United States. However, in 1947 (after Franklin D. Roosevelt had broken with tradition and the Democrats won five consecutive presidential elections), Congress passed the 22nd amendment, ratified by the requisite number of states in 1951, which created a two-term limit for future Presidents. That amendment (along with earlier constitutional restrictions) would seem to disqualify Barack Obama from ever again attaining the office of President or Vice President of the United States, as he was elected to, and served, two full terms in that office between 2009 and 2017.
However, the wording of the 22nd Amendment doesnt literally say that no one can be President for more than two terms; only that no one can be elected President more than twice:
Doesn't that require a brain?
That freaking reprobate is a damn joke, and no rational person would ever consider supporting him for any public office much less the Presidency of the United States!
Daily Mail tried to make out Biden had a big crowd - mentioning “crowd” about a dozen times:
30 Apr: Daily Mail: I’m campaigning on ‘truth over lies’: Biden rallies union workers in Pittsburgh to start his 2020 presidential run saying he is in the rust belt to beat Trump - and is rewarded by chants of ‘We love Joe’
Former Vice President Joe Biden launched his first campaign rally Monday to the CROWD of blue-collar voters who he believes can put him in the White House
And he rallied the CROWD with fighting words...

Fox’s Peter Doocey said it was 600.
I get that with moonshine
But we let rich old people make the laws that determine such and they'll never do the right thing.
Someone spiked his prune juice?
Pretty much everyone in attendance was a public union employee who was given the day off and told they had better be there.
We need a different system. Cage match between Hildebeast and POTUS Trump?
This is why citizens have no control over the really important things like trade imbalance, open borders, H-1B visas etc.
The only answer I can come up with is secession but I am called a traitor when I mention that perfect solution.
I love Foster Brooks

I looked it up. And by golly, you’re right. There is nothing in the 22nd Amendment that would stop Obama from running as VP, then becoming president if Biden resigns.
That was a careless oversight on the part of the amendment writers.

The Founders were smart people. But they weren’t smart enough to put in the Constitution a peaceful way for states to secede. Secession should be a very lengthy and involved process, but a legal one nevertheless.
The founders weren't psychic, but they gave us enough to survive and succeed. But no matter what they gave, it would never be enough to sustain a people who were to became self destructive because of their self loathing.
Not unlike a wise parent who builds a fortune to take care of his children after he's gone. But if his children are stupid, narcissistic and lazy, the fortune isn't enough. They will self destruct regardless.
Whatever becomes of this formerly great nation has nothing to do with the founders. They couldn't anticipate consequences centuries into the future.
We're imploding because that's our national obsession.
I've watched our cataclysmic fall this past fifty years. Much to my dismay, it's not slowing. It's accelerating.
I hate to imagine what the next fifty could bring.
I’ll always remember what a complete clown Biden was when he debated Paul Ryan.
Happy Hour Joe!
