In a rare public address, former President Joe Biden has taken repeated swipes at President Donald Trump — including over his State of the Union address, the Epstein controversy and the war in Ukraine. At one point, he declared, “There’s something wrong with this guy.”
The remarks were made during a 20-minute speech in Columbia, South Carolina, on Friday, where Democratic leaders gathered to commemorate Biden’s decades of public service.
“My friends, I can’t sugarcoat this,” the 83-year-old former president told a crowd of supporters. “These are dark days. The threats we face today are not anything new but they’ve been amplified in the ways we have never seen before. Our future is literally on the line.”
Biden stated that Trump is attempting to “steal the election,” claiming he is putting up barriers to dissuade Americans from voting. A White House spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Independent.

It’s rude to demand among friends, but the link is a voluntary and generous addendum to the original post.
Much appreciation for your work. Thanks. 
Most of the news reports focused on Biden getting on a "commercial flight" and "experiencing delays" (basically blaming the DHS shutdown). But little about the wheres and whats that lead up to this speech in SC.
It's obviously been a busy news morning but I'll try to post that in one of the Video forums. Rhiannon12866 posted a MediasTouch commentary on the speech overnight - https://www.democraticunderground.com/1322107854
They promised to "flood the zone" and they have!!
