It begins at the 25:00 mark.He's the most honorable and honest politician I've ever seen. He's not the standard sleaze-bag who went into politics to line his pockets, like Mitch McConnell. After 40 years in politics, he was so poor that he couldn't even afford to pay for his own son's brain cancer treatments, and Obama offered to loan him the money. Fuck anybody who wants to swiftboat him out of a possible Presidential run.
If it's not possible for somebody as honest and true as Joe Biden to run for office without being slimed, it's not possible for ANYBODY to run for office without being slimed. And we'll just have to learn to ignore it, and tune out the noise. Something we probably should have done a long time ago.
(PS-Since we've been watching two continuous years of this dysfunctional shit show, this is a nice reminder of what a SANE, FUNCTIONAL government looked like. This is what we had, once upon a time, and what we can have again.)

I understand "correctness" and all that, but it seems a shame (IMO) that we are now legislating warmth and a sense of humor out of our lives. Perhaps it's generational ~ the older of us can recall having some pretty fun moments before it all had to go away. I met my husband as the result of a workplace flirtation, and I'm pretty tolerant as long as it doesn't cross the line into harassment.
On another note, BHO using all the pens to sign a document is another of those traditions that tRump is too lazy or too disinterested to continue. Surely he can take the time from his Twitter tantrums to show a bit of humor, tradition, or humanity. What a bozo...
