Really disappointed in TPM for the headline on this one. Its a nonsense thing to report on a respectable news site in the first place, but if you insist on publishing the short story, use an adult headline instead of “Old man Biden vows to challenge fellow old man Trump to a push-up contest.” It just reeks of “sophomore college student who is self-impressed with their ‘cleverness.’”

Hmmmm.
Uh oh. Now the Secret Service is going to be after Joe for effectively threatening to kill the president.

I, for one, would like to see the push-up contest. Why the fuck not? How is it any less stupid that what we’ve had to endure? Let fat fuck fall on his fat fucking face. Sorry for all the swearing … it’s just unavoidable these days. I mean, they’re doing a televised lotto drawing for the Democratic debate, for Christ’s sake.

Perhaps Biden should challenge Trump to a debate on the new dialectics and the political economy, or, better yet, a hot dog eating contest.

Didn’t you mean “Old White Man”, Cabrera? I mean, why only half-ass your derision?

He was asked a silly question, so he gave a silly answer. If you want to blame someone, blame the ditz who asked it.

Next up, Biden revives an earlier threat:
“If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.”

Bye, Joe.

I’m thinking Kamala or Liz could take either one of them -and not just in push-ups.

I’ll certainly vote for Biden if he is the nominee, but this is silly and the reporting on it is silly.

Did you read the post?
However, the former vice president said that he doesn’t plan to “get down in the dirt” with Trump because that’s “the only place he knows how to fight.”
“I’m just gonna continue to talk about what he’s doing. Why it’s so damaging to America,” Biden said. “And as my mother would say, I’m not gonna take any guff from him.”

I think Biden thinks this “tough guy” talk is the way to get through to those non-college educated white males who voted Trump in 2016. He seems laser focused on them instead of the Democratic base whose votes he knows he has if nominated. And he’s counting on the intense anti-Trump sentiment among the base to bring the energy and their vote. After all, basically all of us will vote Biden, even if we have to hold our nose to do so, if he’s the nominee.

Biden is still an old man and not presidential material.
I’m pretty sure Buttigieg’s skinny little military ass probably has it.

Not the cleverest headline ever written, but then the story deals with Biden’s response to a hypothetical Trump jab at his age, sleepiness, and fitness for the job because of it. And Biden’s odd way of pointing out that Trump is not so young himself. So it’s not entirely off topic.
