Joe Biden's History Repeating Itself?

Well, at least he's consistent.

It's hard to guess whether the person flashing the above blue/white button is being persistently hopeful or downright sarcastic.

Every time I'm forced to think about Joe Biden, I recall what was said of him way back since before Obama was elected -- that his foot was more-or-less always in his mouth; that he was, basically, a loose cannon who pretty much had to wear a muzzle during his tenure as VP in the Obama administration.

Back then, I didn't have specifics since I was more concerned about Stephen Harper and his crew at the time -- shocked that the dwindling Progressive Conservative Party could even think of merging with the Reform Party, a motly mix of religious right wingers with "extremist views towards ethnic minorities, women and homosexuals" -- so I knew little and cared less about the misadventures of Joe Biden.

By the way: it's interesting to recall that the Reform Party was "firmly opposed to Québec's demands for special status within Confederation", considering that it came out of Alberta, one of the provinces currently threatening separation -- so how consistent is that lot, eh? 

But, without looking further, I can tell you one thing: if Biden gets to run in the upcoming US election, he is going to make Trump look g-o-o-o-d.

He already has, in fact.  He's made Trump more entertaining, at least: 'Sleepy Joe!': Donald Trump mocks Joe Biden's gaffes during rally [YouTube]

Not to mention that there are other videos equally as enjoyable on the same page as the Trump mock-fest: "Joe Biden's Gaffes, Joe Biden's Greatest Gaffes, Jo Biden's verbal gaffes, Joe biden's Confused crazy rants, Joe Biden's Biggest Gaffes ... 

FoxNews: Joe Biden a 'flip-flopping gaffe machine' benefitting largely from Obama ties
  • "I think there's a false narrative out there that Joe Biden is some sort of political success," [Sean] Spicer told guest host Jason Chaffetz. "He's been saying dumb things since he was first elected in the early 1970s. He has run for president twice and epically [sic] failed.

FoxNews: Biden, on video, lashes out at Detroit autoworker in profanity-laced gun dispute
  • "You’re full of sh-- ... I support the Second Amendment," Biden shot back, stressing he's not going to take guns away.
  • The worker then told Biden, "You're working for me, man," and told Biden that he saw an online video supporting his claim that Biden is hostile to the Second Amendment.
  • Biden, pointing at the individual as they were mere inches apart in the middle of a crowd, said he's not working for him and told him not to be "such a horse's a--."

I'm thinking his latest lapses could be exacerbated by his advancing age. But, maybe not. He ran for the presidency in 1987 and blew that just as handily as he seems to be doing now:

Time: Why Joe Biden's First Campaign for President Collapsed After Just 3 Months
  • “Biden’s mouth is both his greatest asset and his greatest liability ...
  • The seven major contenders were nicknamed the Seven Dwarfs. (Biden joked they should be called the seven deadly sins, saying after Gary Hart backed out amid a scandal over an affair that, “We’ve got an opening for lust.”)

Never one to recognize an opportunity to keep his counsel and reap the reward, Biden, naturally, blew his opportunity to take the higher road.

How did he manage to blow it so badly when even the movie about Gary Hart's downfall got a so-so rating?

And it has apparently taught him nothing, nada, zilch!

Time Mag. offers Top 10 Joe Biden Gaffes during his tenure as Obama's VP.  Take your pick.

Is Covid-19 going to bail him out? There are calls to shut down the debates due to the spread of the virus (Democracy Now), and apparently, only Biden and Sanders are willing to comply:
  • Biden and Sanders called off their planned campaign rallies in Cleveland on Tuesday because of concerns over the coronavirus, which continues to spread, and Trump announced a new rally.

Considering how Trump is already happily dissing Biden, it's clear he's pretty certain that Biden will win the Democrat leadership race since "Former vice presidents usually win their party nominations when they seek them": FiveThirtyEight

He's just Biden his time, eh? Like "The Foursome" (1939):

Do you feel like Biden is going to get the democratic nod so Trump is guaranteed the win?

It's really feeling that way?

Since it's pretty much tradition that a former VP get the nod, they've at least got a good excuse to do so.

And Trump looks so gosh-darned cheery that you'd have to wonder if he's in on it.

Also, if Trump is going ahead with a rally despite Covid-19 fears, that suggests to me that he knows the scare -- which hasn't affected any more people than the regular flu, and the only people dying are already compromised by old age or other illness, as in the regular flu -- may well be just a type of economic warfare.

You're doing an amazing job with your Syria updates! Feels sometimes like this world is just one big looney bin.
