Biden: Trump Is ‘Sweeping Away’ The ‘Guardrails’ Of Democracy

Former Vice President Joe Biden blasted President Trump on Tuesday for his recent efforts to silence nationwide anti-racism protests with the use of tear gas, flash grenades and military muscle — a move aimed, in part, at dominating peaceful demonstration, but mostly to boost Trump politically.

The Trump Bus has already crashed through four sets of guardrails, and is plummeting off the re-election cliff.

Sweeping away the guardrails of democracy?
Not the pithiest mixed metaphor I´ve ever come across.

Trump and the GOP are losing. Hollow messages from hollow men with empty rhetoric.

like Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE), who occasionally mildly breaks with Trump

He is the pretend nice guy, male version of Susan Collins, that always aligns with Trump.

Ben Sasse is already in the general election.

Ben Sasse will win against the Democrat.

Ben Sasse will win re-election without Trump’s help.

So the one article TPM puts up about Biden’s speech this morning, and they still manage to work in a republican’s statement.

I mean, if you wanted to talk about Sasse’s statement, would it have been so difficult to create its own thread? Was it really necessary to bunch it up with the only article covering the Democratic nominee’s response to current events??

If there are STILL people on Red Rose Twitter claiming that Biden is a racist after everything he’s doing right now to listen to the Black community about police brutality and racial discrimination, there’s no hope for them.

Not much of a competition is it. “Who would you you rather have as the leader of your girl scout troop, Eleanor Roosevelt or Jeffrey Epstein?”

Joe is being Presidential. It is extremely rare for a presidential candidate to say this about his opponent.

But it’s the Truth

That’s why it’s Presidential. There is no “both sides” on this. The entire GOP is included, especially when (1) Trump asks for their support and (2) They freely and enthusiastically give their support.

There is nothing “weak” in this statement, or misdirected.

Ben Sasse will take no chances and will kiss the Dear Leader ass when the time comes.

My guess is that his internals show that, right now, Trump is becoming a liability.
