Biden Coughs Up a Storm During His Speech, Sets Tongues Wagging
2020-12-15
BLUF:
[RedState] To cap the day, Joe Biden came out to talk to the nation, to say that now was the time to "heal," that voting for him was battling for the "soul of the nation." And just as it was throughout the whole year, he spent more time attacking President Donald Trump than he did actually saying anything about what he would do or doing any actual "healing." The whole speech was actually pretty nauseating.

Maybe it was the end of the day, maybe at the end of a very long year, but sufficed to say, Biden was struggling and squinting to read the teleprompter for what should have been an easy speech.

But what people noticed first after the discombobulation of the speech, was the fact that he kept coughing and clearing his throat throughout the address.

#14  saying "I'm sorry" when he keeps trying to clear his throat. It's the Resident Evil inside him trying to come out and strangle him. "Sorry" won't cut it now, Joe!

#13  And Leo Tolstoy said:

#12  Biden is just a slogan in a suit. He will be discarded like so much trash when his expiration date comes up.

AP nails it at #6. Useful idiot for Soetoro. Useful idiot for Miss Kam. He'll be gone in six months, or less. Who she or her Deep State handlers pull in as her VP will be very interesting.

The same cut of moron voted for FDR four different times. As Samuel Clemens (a.k.a. Mark Twain) was quoted as saying:

"History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes."

#10  Further, someone smarter than me might know, but as I recall, every news outlet that uses the public airwaves, both television and radio, has a license from the federal government. As a condition of that license I seem to remember they have certain public service duties, amongst which is a requirement to provide news. In years past that was considered a duty, not a corporate profit center as it has become on cable. Can we not use this licensure regulation at the FCC to threaten their ability to broadcast for their failure to tell the truth and provide honest, factual, complete information to the public. The editorialized, omission-filled partial truths and outright lies of the "fake news" has become pure propaganda for one political side. Short of buying NBC, only the threat to their licenses seems to offer remedy for their in-kind political contributions to our national news landscape.

#9  I have struggled with how to impact-fully begin some non-violent action for every American that feels disenfranchised and violated by this election fraud. Consider the impact of 50 million envelopes mailed to the Office of the President Elect with just a picture of a teabag inside. No words, no threatening image, just a symbol of disbelief and refusal to accept the greatest political theft in our history. How do we create such a groundswell of refusal, making them know they cannot think we accept their efforts to legitimize their criminal act.

#8  Biden is nervous as hell. Hoarse, dry mouth, coughing as a result, saying "I'm sorry" when he keeps trying to clear his throat. Bastard is starting to feel the heat. Keep pouring it on the left. What you don't see in many negotiations is the behind the scenes panicking when the road unexpectedly gets the least bit rough than what they imagined it would be.

#7  Kamala has done well for herself. For this dame to bail early from the Dem primaries with little support in her own state to became a future president...not bad. Of course, the fix was in.
