    You gotta give leftist loyal media outlets more credit for creativity. The following was lifted from a meme and serves as a good example: "Joe Biden empathizes with educationally challenged soldiers from single parent homes." Thus . . . political problem solved.

    I doubt it.

    Social media and obscure right wing blogs don’t tend to attract much credibility (except from the willingly gullible)

    Someone should have challenged Joe to a pushup contest.

    Now that’s a laugh; coming from a fan of one of the most openly vulgar men on earth.

    In all honesty, this is why I said out of all the people who ran for president and VP during the last 4 elections, this is why I'd like to go bar hopping with Biden. He really is that nutty uncle who's a lot of fun but can never be taken seriously. Biden can insult anyone, and he's insulted just about everyone, but because he's a flake no one takes seriously, he gets a pass.

    I don't think he was attacking them for being service members. He was just making a joke to people around them. And the audience got the joke. Men in the military often use tough humor and its ok. You don't have to be offended about everything.

    Whether humor is actually funny depends on the context. For example, when Trump mocked that disabled reporter, that was just mean spirited. There is a difference between fun negging and just putting people down.

    If we use Trump's joke about Russia finding Hillary's emails as an example, shouldn't everything he says be taken as him being serious?
    Trump made a joke - people laughed - investigation
    Biden made a joke - people didn't really laugh - it was just a joke.

    If only the MSM took Bidens words as literal as Trumps. If only...

    Context doesn’t matter to Leftists and the MSM unless it applies to their people. Trump hs been sarcastic and boastful his whole life, yet the MSM will just quote the words without any regard for the meaning or way they were stated.

    Always reminds me of My Cousin Vinnie. Only stupid ignorant people or paid talking heads & politicians, Ignore context.

    Totally.

    This is Major Stuff!

    Trump's ACB Announcement is going to be overshadowed by the DNC replacing Biden as the nominee.

    Tuesday's debate is being rescheduled to allow the Dem's New Presidential Nominee time to prepare.

    So long Biden 2020.

    Uncle Joe, we hardly knew ye.:salute:

    As bad as this may look on the outside it really isn't that big of a deal. Biden was obviously joking around and he was simply trying to "talk like they do". You hang around a military unit for a few mins and you'll swear they were all a bunch of vulgar bigots they way they talk to each other. The language in that little snippet could be taken from virtually any speech that Trump has ever made so I can't exactly bash on Biden for talking like that during a speech in jest.

    Even if Biden does have disdain for the troops nobody is dumb enough to stand up there and actually call them names like that. It was a joke. Unprofessional sure but I mean that's how the military routinely talks to each other so...

    I do find it funny however that "anonymous sources" can claim Trump called the troops names with zero context and zero evidence and the media jumps all over it for weeks yet an actual video surfaces of Biden calling troops names and the media is silent. Great journalism right there...See what happens when you just take snippets of something without context and make a claim? If this were Trump the headlines would be "Trump calls service members stupid bastards" with zero context alluding to the fact that it was clearly in jest and you'd have Don Lemon and company running around "analyzing" the video as 100% proof Trump hates the troops.

    Agreed, but the reasoning is much simpler: We can relate to him.

    Joking like this is something all of us do. All of us who aren't uptight and have a sense of humor, that is.

    I mean, he was trying to be funny.

    It sounded cringe worthy because he's old wnd not funny, but I dont think he meant anything by it.

    Honestly you can tell he was trying to make a joke. It was stupid, but that was it. That's the end of it as far as I'm concerned.
