Biden says he would consider 2020 rival Warren as running mate

WaEx:

Joe Biden said that he would consider Democratic presidential primary rival Elizabeth Warren as his running mate should he win the Democratic presidential nomination.

“I’d add Senator Warren to the list. I’d add all — but she’s going to be very angry at my having said that,” Biden said in an Axios on HBO interview that aired Sunday. “The question is, would she add me made to her list. You know?”

“The issue for me will be, if I’m fortunate enough to be the nominee, is who am I most comfortable with that I’m confident that if I turn over responsibility, I’m not going to be surprised,” Biden said.

Warren, a Massachusetts senator and bankruptcy law expert, has a long-held disagreement with Biden over a 2005 law that made it more difficult to file for bankruptcy. Warren advocated against the bill before she was an elected official while Biden championed the legislation. read more

    No, because you were already Vice-President for a maximum of 8 years you duffus!

  2. …you know, my wife hates Democrats and everything they stand for, but is pretty convinced the reason they’re doing all this, including now “treason” charges of all things against the President, is that they KNOW da election fraud fix is IN, and they WILL take the House, Senate, AND Presidency in 20 by dint of massive election shenanigans…and they all KNOW it. That’s also why most “Republicans” STILL don’t call them out, because THEY know it TOO.

    Given what we know about Democrats, voting, and the Communist predilection for taking power by any means necessary…

    she most likely is RIGHT.

    NONE of them have paid for massive, OBVIOUS fraud over the last 3 Presidential election cycles, so why WOULDN’T they truly again? Even the Ohio precinct judge, Melowese Richards, who was CONVICTED of stuffing the ballot box for Obama, got a wrist-slap and is now a sought-after celebrity at Democrat confabs.

    After all, Hillary was just a miscalculation, they wanted the “election” to look somewhat legitimate, so they simply didn’t have enough car trunks of precast Hillary votes ready to go, and they won’t make THAT mistake THIS time.

    …my answer to her is simply this. I’m not worried about it, because I won’t live to see it.

    Should such a one be foisted upon this Nation as an obviously illegitimate leader, I would consider that as an activation order of my Constitutional duties as one of millions of similarly appoined final guarantors of liberty under the Second Amendment, and act accordingly. I am old, but not so old I can’t wield a brand. The details aren’t important. All that matters is that I won’t see Communist truly rule this Nation because they will either be forced from power, or I will die in the attemp to prevent it. Either way, it won’t be my problem.

    I owe as much to my Nation, and I could do nothing else for my son and all those that come after.

    Rule they may, but never will it be in peace. There’s an old saying that “All that is required for evil to succeed us for good men to do nothing”.

    I have never in life done “nothing”. Ain’t gonna start NOW.

    Some would call that foolish, that my son’s generation os fatally flawed and will willingly submit. To them, I give THIS answer:

    “ides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.”
    -JRR Tolkien “The Return of the King”.

    …I’m Klingon enough to consider dying in battle to be preferable to living in chains anyway. Alone, if needs be, but I don’t believe I WILL be. The ONLY One I fear is the Lord, and I will not stand before His judgement and tell Him I did NOTHING before Satan’s onslaught. Even Hillary Clinton can only kill me ONCE. HE can make my death ETERNAL.

    “If you’re in the battle for the Lord and right,
    Keep on the firing line;
    If you win, my brother, surely you must fight,
    Keep on the firing line;
    There are many dangers that we all must face,
    If we die still fighting it is no disgrace;
    Cowards in the service will not find a place,
    So keep on the firing line.”

    …and, to those that say I’m a tactical fool, that tge Enemy will sieze all weapons to make resistance impossible, I would remind you the Jewish people of the Warsau Ghetto in Poland were disarmed WELL before Hitler’s troops decided to elimiate them, disgustingly as a birthday present to him. It was supposed to take a day.

    It took a MONTHS.

    Unarmed people with no tradition of, or training in, fighting gained arms by taking them from dead German soldiers, and put up a FIERCE resistance. It was only put down because they were cut off and surrounded, so it could not be sustained.

    Would that work in a NATION? Perhaps future history will tell…

    …I’ll leave you with this to consider, from one who KNOWS what’s to come. The choice is yours.

    “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

    “He just wants to smell her hair.”

    Ew. Probably smells like bitterness, broken dreams, and the beer vomit that leaks into it as she lies on her pillow every night…

    > “to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till”

    When the only seeds they have, the only things they will deign call seeds, are dragons’ teeth… well… wizards’ speed, Mr. Nightshade.

  6. ^^^the words are appropriate for the situation, my brave @anon, despite their origin. I am no wordsmith, so I do borrow well-written lines that crystallize thougts from others, with appropriate attribution. The wizard is not the point, our debt to the future IS.

    …if you don’t understand the use of allegory to make ethical points, you must be in REAL trouble when you come tothe parables of Jesus 8n the Bible, and I pity you for that…

    …I did truncate that quote a bit by mistake, so just because it seems to piss you off, here it is in full…

    “It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.”

    …just so you know, LOTR was heavily informed by Tolkiens Catholicism…

  7. (Cont) …just so you know, LOTR was heavily informed by Tolkiens Catholicism, and was ITSELF allegory. I’m not going to walk you through it, but if you can’t figure it out from the NAME or when Gandalf defines himself as a Steward, or the role and origin of Sauron, I don’t thing lil ol me can help you over the line…

    …now do Solzhenitsyn next. I can’t wait…

    All quotes are truncated. If not understanding the allegory of the reply pisses you off… well… meh.
