That is a long bow to draw...
If he was a republican I suspect you wouldn't be making these comments...

And consider:
Perhaps Joe skylarks as Santa clause in the holiday season and carries that mindset over... :mrgreen:


Pretty sure JohnPowell is anti all american establishment politicians: Trump, Pence, Obama, Biden, Bush, Cheney, Clinton, Gore, Bush, Quayle, Reagan, Bush and so on and so forth. He can correct me if I've misrepresented him.

Oh...
I didn't pick that up...

Personally, I'd rather be non-partisan...
My priority is objectivity and seeking the truth...
Perhaps in his own way, he is doing the same...<shrug>
I just don't happen to agree with him here...

That's a fair assessment, I think. I'm on the same page.

This reminds me of Richard Dawson when he hosted "The Family Feud."

He used to kiss the women contestants. Most didn't seem to mind.

Oh, man, I can see somebody doing a Family Feud spoof with Joe Biden as the host. That's got great potential!

Lady Liberty doesn't seem to be too thrilled...…

Honestly....I guess it depends on the person. I'm not into people hugging and kissing me---but I'm aware that some people just want to be affectionate without being sexual.

I would guess that a man smelling a woman's hair could be taken as at least a little sexual.

It's all BS and a political beat up...
How can't people see that?

And we all know what trump would be doing to the statue of liberty if he was in this image instead of Biden...he'd probably be grabbing the genital area.

Well there is no court of law that would take a case of 'that random man looked in my direction and didn't even say anything creepy or make unwanted physical advances' seriously. So not sure you have that much to worry about.

People also forget about the reports that he swam in the nude in front of female Secret Service Agents. I have no recollection of that ever being considered just old fashioned affection.

Quote:
“Agents say that, whether at the vice president’s residence or at his home in Delaware, Biden has a habit of swimming in his pool nude,” Mr. Kessler writes, the New York Daily News reported. “Female Secret Service agents find that offensive.”

Well, that'd be a funny image also. We can all enjoy memes that depict sexual misconduct without making it a partisan contest.

If it's his private pool (yes the naval observatory counts) he should be able to swim naked if he wants to. Secret service agents signed up for a job where they had to keep close observation on the most powerful people in the world. As long as he's not making any advances on them, then that's just how the job goes.

Not my point...
It's not my intention to make women feel uncomfortable...
A lot of men are intimidated by PC these days...

Biden jokes about physical contact in first speech since allegations he made women uncomfortable

Quote:
Former Vice President Joe Biden joked twice about having permission to touch people on Friday during his first public appearance since several women alleged he made them uncomfortable in encounters over the years.

After his speech at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Construction Conference in Washington, DC, Biden also said that while he was sorry he didn't understand more about the how his behavior made women feel, he made clear he was not apologizing for any of his intentions, telling reporters, "I am not sorry for anything that I have ever done -- I've never been disrespectful, intentionally, to a man or a woman."

Biden's comments were the most direct response so far to allegations he made women feel uncomfortable with the way he touched them. Lucy Flores, a former Nevada assemblywoman, penned an essay last week detailing a 2014 encounter during which the former vice president made her feel "uneasy, gross and confused" when he came up from behind her and kissed the back of her head. Several women have since come forward with similar stories about Biden.

Biden used humor during his speech on Friday in reference to the allegations. After being introduced by IBEW president Lonnie Stephenson, Biden told the crowd, "I just want you to know. I had permission to hug Lonnie."
Biden returned to the subject with another joke midway through his remarks -- after inviting a group of children at the event up onto the stage, Biden put his arm around one of the kids and said to laughs, "By the way -- he gave me permission to touch him."

Speaking to reporters after his speech, Biden said it wasn't his intent to "make light of anyone's discomfort."
