In perhaps the least-surprising political headline of the day, The Hill reports that a senior Democratic lawmaker told them today that former Vice President Joe Biden will run for president in 2020.
Biden has been leading the polls for months…
“I’m giving it a shot,” Biden said matter-of-factly during a phone call with a House Democratic lawmaker within the past week – a conversation the congressman recounted to The Hill and interpreted as a sure sign that Biden will run in 2020.
However, Biden spokesman Bill Russo refuted the idea that the former vice president is absolutely running:
“He has not made a final decision. No change.”
But, as The Hill notes, at an event with firefighters Tuesday morning, Biden teased a 2020 presidential run as the crowd chanted, “Run, Joe, run!”
“I appreciate the energy you all showed when I got up here,” Biden told an energetic crowd at the International Association of Fire Fighters’ annual conference in Washington, D.C.
“Save it a little longer, I may need it in a few weeks. Be careful what you wish for.”
His entry into the race has been largely expected. In recent weeks, the 76-year-old Biden (would be the oldest President if elected) has been laying the groundwork for what would be his third and final presidential bid, seeking support from Democratic donors, lawmakers and others in his political circle. Biden, who served as President Obama’s vice president for two terms, also has a team of campaign aides already assembled for the moment he decides to launch a White House bid, which is expected in early April.
We look forward to Trump’s tweeted response (and to see whether the liberal cognoscenti goes full Schultz/Gabbard against Biden or supports the septuagenarian’s run).

Give him a shot? He’s already shot. Creepy Joe likes to fondle little girls.
I remember watching a vid clip of some schmuck being sworn in while Biden was manhandling the guy’s wife. Her discomfort was obvious. I kept thinking if that was my wife, I would’ve decked him, VP or not. Some things are more important than an effing career.
Here’s one of many. If he gets nominated by the Democrats then you’ll get to see every one of them on TV framed as GOP political ads.

Creepy Joe -the name alone has heft, like a set of bolas; potential for candidacy. You have to fight fire with fire and two senile morons will make it look like a fair fight.
Should make for great debates against this guy..
I think he had a better chance against Reagan.
Maybe the Dims can dig up Dukas for another run.
and this guy coulda been Prez
The interior of his office looks like his soul; bureaucratic, empty, beige.
Everything in that man’s atmosphere will have to be Kosher or whatever the Mormons call their version of it. It is holy because one of their “apostles” with the 39 wives said so!
Let’s see, the Clinton machine backs Biden, the Obama nation backs Harris. Then we have Bernie and AOC maybe backing O’Rourke. By the time they come together to form a united front against Trump, the USA will look like a butcher’s diagram of beef cuts.
What is truly frightening is that Joe is the best of the lot.
Probably the least offensive.
Cleanest looking turd floating in their punchbowl.
Biden’s biggest problem is that he’s retarded. But so is about 1/3 of the electorate.
Brain Surgeon Told Biden He Had Less Than 50% Chance of ‘Being Completely Normal’
https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/brain-surgeon-told-biden-he-had-less-50-chance-being-completely-normal
And 100% chance of being less than completely normal.
You are being too generous. I would say more like 60%.
So, according to the Democrats, Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election, and “We just can’t tolerate foreign influence or interference in our elections.”
We can, however, tolerate illegal foreigners voting in our elections per their recent House vote.
Are you implying that I am a legal foreigner?
God, I hope so…Hum a few bars of “Dirty White Boy” and we’ll see.

Make it so.
How come there is no mandatory retirement age for federal elected office?
The fossils have done enough damage. It is time for the young’uns to fuck things up further.
I can’t understand how we ever came up with a political class. It’s an insane premise. Holding office should be viewed like jury duty or combat. You don’t want to do it, but you do it out of loyalty and honor, not because it’s a career. It’s wrong on so many levels. I can’t believe the Founders screwed that part up.
JOE BIDEN’S SON ACCEPTED $1 BILLION CHECK FROM CHINA

Remember that kerfluffle that blew up in Ukraine a few years ago?
Guess who?
Joe Biden’s Son Appointed To Board Of Largest Ukraine Gas Company
Kerry Family Friend Also Joins Ukrainian Gas Producer’s Board
“His appointment came a few weeks after Devon Archer —college roommate of the secretary of state’s stepson, H.J. Heinz Co. ketchup heir Christopher Heinz—joined the board to help the gas firm attract U.S. investors, improve its corporate governance and expand its operations. A State Department spokesman declined to comment.”

So this time the Ukraine will be “influencing” the election outcome?
Is this the strategy of TPTB to keep Donald in office another 4 years? i.e. fracture the Dem vote by flooding the field with morons and losers.
“I’m giving it a shot..” – that’s the kind of commitment we like to see in presidential candidates.
Weren’t those Jack Ruby’s words when he approached Oswald?
That’s what A-Rod said about marrying JLo. It worked out for DiMaggio, right?
But JLo isn’t fucking two of the Kennedy brothers.
Just what y’all need, a fuckin geriatric piece of shit that could likely die on the job.
Who in their right mind would want the stress of 4 years of that shit in your 80’s.
Stupid cunt ever think of retirement, fade off into the sunset.
