1. Language Joe.

We don't want to get down in the mud with them.

[beachbumbob]

25. like wtf? You gotta to speak the language they understand

[Butterflylady]

32. Gotta laugh at that one, but you're right.

That's what gets thru to them. They understand that and don't like to be talked down to like most politicians do. I understand most people do not like that language and I don't either but that's how it is.

[beachbumbob]

33. yep, politness works at afternoon tea. This is not an afternoon tea. High time democrats take

gloves off. GO JOE

[True Blue American]

35. That guy was yelling in Joe's face!

He deserved what Joe said.

[beachbumbob]

37. x1000

[Cha]

62. My first reaction was to laugh.. not tell him "language Joe"..

[beachbumbob]

63. foxnews distorting the clip and the report, you would have thunk that? LOL

Can't wait for Joe to tell trump to kiss his mutherf*cking ass

[Cha]

65. Joe of the "BFD" Joe might

just do that.

[PatSeg]

67. Yeah

If he'd said, "you're full of malarkey", people would have just made fun of him. Usually "malarkey" is the word he uses to avoid swearing. Once and awhile, it just isn't enough.

[geardaddy]

36. Exactly.

Otherwise they won't listen.

[Skya Rhen]

2. That's the Joe that I love - let Joe be Joe...

[BeyondGeography]

3. Yeah, I'm totally fine with that

[Pepsidog]

30. Yea me too. Call BS what it is. Dems gotta tell people they are not anti-gun. Fox nut.

[still_one]

10. +++

[onetexan]

28. agree, young buck confronting him is a lightweight. It's clear he didn't want a cogent discussion.

He wanted to insult as is evident on the video. Glad Joe put him in his place.

[William769]

54. +1

[patricia92243]

4. Short, sweet, and to the point :)

[stonecutter357]

5. good let's go Joe !

[samnsara]

6. yay joe!!!!

[dalton99a]

7. Perfect.

[still_one]

8. Hats off to Joe. He sure didn't mince words, and the guy obviously wasn't listening, he has been so

brainwashed it is pathetic

[HarlanPepper]

9. That's how it's done

Notice how the gun nut tries to obfuscate in the conversation about what an AR15 is etc. The NRA trains them on those techniques. You can spot it a mile away.

[sweetloukillbot]

11. I didn't even hear him misstate it

I heard him noticeably stutter when trying to say it. But hey, anything to keep the "Biden Is Senile" storyline going.

[HarlanPepper]

13. Yeah

He tried to get Joe bogged down in the minutiae. That’s what gunners do because they know their arguments are terrible. Didn’t work on Joe, though.

[FailureToCommunicate]

12. Translation from anglo-saxon: "Good sir, I find your argument totally without merit"

There, Joe, fixed it for ya.

[Skya Rhen]

14. Or as the Irish would say: You, Sir, are full of malarkey!"

[True Blue American]

40. Yeah, right!

That is exactly what my red haired Irish Grandpa would say! In a cold day in hell! Kindest, most lovable man ever but never make him angry.

[True Blue American]

38. Yeah, that would work!

In a Fairy tale!

[StarryNite]

39. LOL!!!

[RKP5637]

15. Sometimes, you just gotta say what needs to be said,

because that's all some people understand. Go Joe!!!

[Cha]

64. Especially when they accuse that NRA brainwashed LIE that

Dems want to take away the 2nd Amendment.. their guns!

[Politicub]

16. I don't mind the language. It cut to the point: that guy was full of shit.

And his agenda became evident when he started ranting about a viral video he had seen.

The guy was full of shit. What he was saying was full of shit. And Joe was right to call out his bullshit.

[LakeArenal]

52. Horse shit, actually.

[evertonfc]

17. Love it

get tough

[BidenBacker]

18. Dear Mikey Bloomberg,

Please take a little of your super PAC budget and hire a few security guards for Biden until he can get a Secret Service detail assigned to him. Makes me a little squeamish to see Joe going nose to nose with a gun nut.

Thanks,
BB

PS Thanks for dropping out. I probably woulda voted for you if I had to, but I wouldn't have liked it much. No hard feelings.

[Skya Rhen]

19. +1000

[FailureToCommunicate]

42. Welcome to DU!

[BidenBacker]

56. Thanks!

Fortunately I was able to come up with the admission fee even with Trump trashing the stock market.

[FailureToCommunicate]

71. Lucky you! And I got in gratus under an affirmative action program for

lefty boomers.

[SunSeeker]

43. It is scandalous that the likely winner of the 2020 Presidential campaign has no Secret Service.

[BidenBacker]

57. Hopefully they correct that soon

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/03/05/secret-service-prepares-protect-presidential-candidates/2120032001/

I read somewhere here on DU that Trump has to approve it but I hope to hell that's not accurate.

Until then, we'll just have to hope that Jill Biden was as fast as she was the other night. But I sure would prefer a bunch of professional guys with earpieces, sunglasses and guns.

[honest.abe]

20. Excellent reply!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

21. Wonder how many in that crowd are spreading the virus?

[Chainfire]

22. He was right...

The guy was full of shit.

[Sunlei]

23. Biden did well, stood up for himself. To mention machine guns was a good idea.

A segment of our population are so disconnected from reality by years of disinformation. The man did quickly understand machine guns are illegal, a good point to bring up to the 'take my guns away crowd'.

[Chainfire]

29. The problem is

It is not illegal to own machine guns. If you can afford the purchase price (starting around ten grand and rising quickly). Pass the enhanced background check, pay a $200.00 tax stamp, you can have all the machine guns you want. There are some additional restrictions that comes with ownership, but it is nothing that is particularly difficult to deal with.

If I wanted an MG today, I would drive 25 miles to my nearest dealer, pay for the gun, do the paperwork for the background check, and wait probably around 60 to 90 days for the results to come back before I could take possession of the weapon. For a non-felon is is mainly just a money issue. They are as expensive to shoot as they are to buy too. You could easily spend $20.00 a second airing out a machine gun. That is usually more money than a construction worker or truck driver can stand.

Machine gun crimes are rare because they are generally owned by professional people with deep pockets and a lot to lose. I spoke to a dealer about who his clients were, and he told me that the were mostly doctors and lawyers. Go figure...

The point of this is that if Joe chooses to carry out arguments with people like the man in the video, he needs to know a little more of what he is talking about. He would have been better served to have just laughed at the guy and walked away rather than fall into a trap. Right wingers get a great thrill of catching liberals in an error when they are talking about guns. The right rejoices in being able to point out how dumb Libtards are.

[HarlanPepper]

51. No they get a thrill out of obfuscation which is what they are trained to do by the NRA

Millions have been spent teaching the art of the gish gallop over the last 20 years.

[Chainfire]

66. That is certainly correct

But, if Joe decides to argue with them, and I think he should, he should be willing to prepare himself. No need in giving them talking points to use against him.

[honest.abe]

24. That's not a gaffe!

[blueinredohio]

26. If that's all these guys have to worry about is guns they are better off than me.

I have a lot more worries than that.

[Hoyt]

27. After trying, there is no other way to talk to ignorant white wingers, particularly gun-strokers.

[ismnotwasm]

34. Exactly

They elected Trump so apparently it’s what they understand

[Schmice3]

31. Watch FOX's reaction

I bet they will excoriate Biden for his language and then claim it was an attack on all decent Americans. They too are full of shit.

[rockfordfile]

58. Watch my reaction, "I could give a rat's ass what a Nazi Network says."

[PaulRevere08]

41. A low information voter basing his argument/vote on a viral video he saw online. Sheesh.

[Fritz Walter]

44. Warming up for his upcoming debate with Agolf Twittler

As in “You are so full of shit,...”
Right to his pudgy, discolored face.
On live TV, with millions watching. And most of those viewers jumping to their feet and cheering out loud.

[BidenBacker]

60. Did you come up with that name yourself?

If so, I genuflect in your general direction! Awesome. Mind if I use it, or did you copyright it?

Agolf Twittler...too damn funny.

[Fritz Walter]

61. Wish I could say I did create that name

But I found it here on DU several months ago.
It’s one of my favorites, too. Saved it for special occasions.

[Doreen]

45. What these people like that don't understand

is that our Democrats are not against guns totally, they just want people to be accountable for their ownership and make military guns unavailable and against the law. That is all.

Oh yeah, GO JOE, YOU TELL EM!!

[Mr. Ected]

46. Trump has blasphemed decorum in politics and proudly flipped it off

While his psychophants tell us they love him for that.

If Biden is criticized for coarse language, that's a pretty weak attack to say the least, particularly in light of the current resident and his filthy mouth and mind.

Remember, these MAGATS project their ugliness on everyone around them, so a stab at Joe for language would be feeble and sad and snowflakelike.

[lastlib]

53. "psychophants"--it's not according to Webster, but I LIKE it!

very appropos to the psychos we're dealing with here! ---

[Mr. Ected]

70. Thanks - maybe I coined a phrase!

It fits to a T, doesn't it?

[wryter2000]

47. He doesn't have to insult the person

I don't mind the profanity, but the personal insult is a bad look, IMHO. "That's a crock of shit," works better. Maybe I'm splitting hairs.

[rockfordfile]

59. The guy was a right-wing pos. It looked like he was reading off of his phone.

[lambchopp59]

48. Absolutely FOS

One would surmise after 50 years of "They're coming to take our guns" bullshit most of the anacephalic RWNJ's would have figured it out the fear-scam by now.

[Hekate]

49. This was no gaffe. This was pure Joe, plainspoken and honest.

[Historic NY]

50. Your full of Malarkey wouldn't have worked.

meanwhile the other guys are like okay its enough to their union member

[slumcamper]

55. Such extremism is incompatible with the premise of "responsible execrise" of rights.

Nutters like that guy are absolutist in their belief that that particular right is inviolable.

Did they fail 9th grade Civics? Somebody needs to remind them that attendant with individual rights is individual responsibility.

I realize this is condescending, but they need to learn this lesson. Until they understand THAT, they ARE full of shit.

[LiberalFighter]

68. These guys are construction workers. Not secretaries or CEO's

I didn't see any women in the video that might have been construction workers but there might had been some out of sight. The ones in the video were likely media or part of Biden's staff.

[ibegurpard]

69. No idea whether this will help or hurt him

but I fucking agree!

[highplainsdem]

72. Good for Joe.

[cwydro]

73. President Obama would never do that.

Smh.

[Permanut]

74. Okay, let's compare..

President Obama signed two laws relating to gun rights:


One of the laws allows gun owners to carry weapons in national parks; that law took effect in February 2012 and replaced President Ronald Reagan's policy that required guns to be locked in glove compartments of trunks of cars that enter national parks.

Another gun law signed by Obama allows Amtrak passengers to carry guns in checked baggage, a move that reversed a measure put in place after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Both of these laws expanded the rights of gun owners.

Mango Mussolini, on the other hand, signed a new regulation in December of 2018 banning bump-fire stocks. Next thing you know, he'll be coming after my guns.
