Joe Biden, Senator from Citibank (oops, DELAWARE), to Run for President

it's basically his version of Hillary's "no promises, we've had enough of that"

The USA was founded upon the proposition that all men were created equal... and that's a problem we know how to fix.

By Biden's tweet numbers, single payer would cost 2,1 trillion a year which is really nothing terrible for the US, pretty affordable even.

trillions though, with a "t"! (this is the argument, far as I can tell)

60$ per american per year for coverage, wowee.

Biden, the President for Loss Aversion.

6k per person I think

Yeah I’m way off haha. Still there’s enough money in the US to have both a fully funded US defense and single payer.

6k is what my premium is per year (I pay half, company pays half)

my family (2 + kid) is 16k

also it doesn't have to be 6k per person if RICH PPL WERE TAXED AT REASONABLE RATES

You prob have deductibles and co-pays too. So out-of-pocket healthcare costs are higher if you, yanno, actually use healthcare services at any point.

That $6K per capita figure is predicated on simply dividing the whole M4A program cost by the population of the USA, which flat rate (as ums helpfully points out) is not how the tax burden would be distributed. As it now stands, there are over 40,000,000 uninsured people and the cost of health care is still about 18% of USA GDP. For comparison, France and Germany spend about 11.5% of their GDP on universal health care.

hey Joe your dipshit son made $50k A MONTH to do -- and let's be really real here -- fuck all. maybe he can pay for it.

Healthcare would also contribute greatly to productivity and provide lots of new jobs

ffs

At a DC fundraiser, Biden again slammed Warren for saying he should be in the GOP primary due to M4A criticism. "God love her. That's not the way you get things done, man." Instead GOP pols will have "epiphany" once Trump leaves, he said, per pool report.

the 'epiphany' will be that a Democrat won so they are required to halt all forward progress on any bill of any descrption so as to deprive Democrats of 'wins'

yup

it's weird how his GOP buddies in the Senate are clamoring to completely and extra-legally fuck him and yet he still thinks "oh sure, they'll come around"

Folks,

one thing that's particularly amazing about the video of the bite is just how much finger he actually managed to get into his mouth in that split second pic.twitter.com/geSwNt7CnX

Wtf
Who would do that

That’s impressive

Truly an apex predator

The Democratic Party is doomed because it’s run by people who think Rodney Dangerfield is the villain of Caddyshack. https://t.co/0lYo8Sc4pt

this is not an ad that would change a single trump voter's mind

as has been covered at great length elsewhere i see

im beginning to think this biden fella is a real piece of shit!

don't really see him that way

and he may end up being our candidate

Rodney Dangerfield is the villain of everything he's in!

you’d be a villain too if no one gave YOU any respect!

rodney dangerfield IS the joker

*joe places both hands on your shoulders, looks you right in the eye*

'son, you can't do good things even if you want to, and if you think you can, please don't vote for me'

Here's a thought, @JoeBiden. Maybe your climate policy advisor shouldn't be somebody who has taken a million dollars from the fossil fuel industry 🤔

Otherwise your commitment to averting the climate crisis sounds like a bunch of...well, malarkey. pic.twitter.com/JnfRvOer45

"our candidate"

I have no candidate but Sanders

it's wild, Joe really does act like every single part of running for office and trying to persuade people to vote for you is a gigantic pain in his ass.

guy cannot sell his stance on this. obviously you can ban fracking nationwide, right now. you dn't need to transition away from that. it would be much harder to do that with oil. so biden torpedos the argument by inflating it to include obviously problematic things and stating 'you can't do any of it'. uh, alright.

yea the fact that he's still polling well is nuts to me, I do not get the sense whatsoever that this man actually wants to be President and his whole appeal seems to be rooted in "well, Republicans like him so maybe we can go back to a more civil time" which is just....lmao dude

do any current republicans even like him though?

he and mitch mcconnell are TIGHT

Yeah, Joe would be calling Mitch from the Oval Office about Mitch torpedoing every single bill that came from the House, and Mitch would always be telling him, "Gee, Joe, you know I hate to do this to you, but I have to. That's politics for you." And Joe would always be answering, " That's OK, Mitch. I understand. Do what you gotta. So, how's the wife?"

hey Mitch, some enviros are on my back because I don't care about getting rid of fracking because i'm going to be dead soon anyway. can you just shut the door on that whole deal so i can say i tried?

Gee, Joe, you know I hate to do this to you, but I have to. That's politics for you.

thanks Mitch. i tried to put both of my hands on their shoulders as i told them no, but it didn't work. i love you

how many times in the last month has biden publicly told someone to vote for another candidate

*puts hands on both of your shoulders*

look at my record

this is kind of weird but i thought of a good VR idea - find a POV picture of joe biden holding both of your shoulders and looking into your eyes while lying. that's the VR experience, but when you agree with what he says, the background slowly morphs into a ballroom. the more you agree with him, the more you find yourself slowly waltzing around a ballroom in 1972

everything is fine, and a one, two, three, everything's fine, and-a two, two, three, look at my ♩ ♪ recoooooord ♫ and-a three, two, three, ♫ loooooook into these biden eyeeeees ♫, last time-a four, two, three..

my eyes tunred "Poser (Karl" into "President Keyes" and i was like this is weird, these are really good Karl Malone posts

FALSE: there are only 3 good karl malone posts, and they all happened before 2013

hey he John Kerry's endorsement today!

I can't decide what that says about Warren. Or Kerry.

Bros before Massholes.

Biden’s strategy of telling people to fuck off seems like something that would have been a bigger deal before Trump

Examining the full exchange and especially what the old Iowa guy said, Biden's urge to slap the guy silly must have been overwhelming.
