I think some of us

were wary of that when a certain candidate was being touted for being "the first one to sign it!!".

That's not the way I look at it..

If trump starts on his lying gaslit insults to Joe Biden.. then challenging him to put up or shut up might be a way to stop that.

This isn't about "machismo", imo. It's about stopping trump's insults about Biden's age and the insult he throws at him.. "sleepy".

A man just shouted "Sleepy Joe" at Biden, Biden ran up to him and asked him to race...

I totally understand why Biden would want to do that.. as someone posted in this thread.. one way deal with trump is "ridicule".

Yes, I didn't mention it.. but you so eloquently

reminded me that.. also one of the best reasons I like Joe Biden is his humanity and all around niceness!

I like nice people.. I got used to that with the Obama-Biden Admin, too. Thank Goodness so many of us appreciated them every single day while they were in Office.

Most of the time I don't even think of them as "gaffes".. it's just what detractors like to pile on whether it is or not.. it loses its potency after awhile. Yeah, Biden's not perfect but he has the whole genuinely, compassionate, and empathy persona going for him.

Thanks for your take on what happened on the stage with Harris and Biden..

I think it was full on compassion for what she went through as a little girl. I miss that in Obama and him. In the height of an attack on him he found salience in the just right thing.

Joe Biden can now tell voters he wants to fix the health care system without blowing up what works.

YES! Some Sanity!

Those are desperate people to compare Biden's plan to the.. "terrorism of 9/11".

Mahalo for the article, ucr, YES!

Overall, the Biden health care plan would cost about $75 billion per year, which Biden would pay for be repealing some of the Trump tax cuts for high earners and raising the capital-gains tax rate. . . . But the Biden plan is more realistic than Medicare for all, which would move 150 million people out of employer-provided plans most enrollees like, and force them into a government plan. If Biden ends up as the Democratic nominee, his health care plan could provide a big advantage over President Donald Trump—who doesn’t have a health care plan.

Exactly, GC.. It's not

a macho thing with Biden. I think the Challenge is to shut the Psycho up with his gas lit insults.

Put up or shut up, traitorous squatter. trump started this shite.. Biden wants to end it.

Exactly! That's why BS hired them.. they're

doing exactly what he wants.. shame on all of them comparing Biden's Health Plan to build on ACA to 9/11 terrorism.. Of course, Turner Retweeted it.
