Joe Biden's "No Malarkey" bus tour.

Who says malarkey under the age of 95?

Shenanigans.

Malarkey? Really? What the fuck. I swear, every day after Trump's been elected has been a deeper and deeper descent into an unreality.

Who approved this slogan? It's a disaster.

23 SKIDOO!

Old man lingo. The "reach across the aisle" candidate most locked into the status quo, desperately wanting to keep the same old same old in place. Ugh.

"You there, fill it up with petroleum distillate and revulcanize the tires."

Yet he's still polling higher than all the other candidates. Guess who votes?

(HINT: it's not rubes offering hot takes on Twitter)

Why the fuck does a bus tour need a slogan, anyway?

r8 He's polling higher nationally; the primary process is not national.

It should read Joe Six-Pack

The Straight Talk Express

"No Hooey!"

Also the title of his new album.

Obama’s Grandpa

Other options Joe and team considered:

Enough with the chin music, ya empty suit!

No baloney served here!

Don't sell me a dog, sir!

We are so fucked.

Even the bus slogan is a gaffe.

I believe that's technically called an oldcootism. Same as "dagnabbit."

Silence, hooligans!

Joe is old. He knows it and he's owning it. Good for him.

Hullabaloo!

Hellzapoppin’!

Biden is an idiot who believes cannabis is a gateway drug and should remain illegal for recreational use, so this slogan fits him and his campaign perfectly.

He's purposely doing it to appeal to his older base in Iowa, which is a calculated and clever move...he knows those are the people who actually come out and caucus above all others when the time comes. He has a lot of younger campaign advisors , its not like he just stuck this on a bus by himself overnight without forethought or consideration. Hes leaning into his base, and it's intentional.

Great googly moogly.

Ok Whippersnappers!

He really owns it.

I'm sorry. I'm trying to envision a malarkeyless world and I can't. I just can't.

Oh phooey to this slogan!

TIPPECANOE AND BIDEN TOO!

"Don't take any wooden nickels" bus tour!

Fiddle Dee Dee!

That was going to be my slogan!

We must put an end to this regime-change malarkey!

Rechannel Malarkey!

No one should be denied health care because of malarkey!

Joe Biden is the cat's pajamas, pal!

Listen bubs, Biden's the bee's knees! The real hot socks, daddy-o.

I really cannot believe that this is who we are putting up against Donald Trump. I just cannot believe that this is who the Democrats are going to run next year. It boggles the mind.

Love that slogan, Dad!

Well, that'll solve the malarkey issue but what about all the hogwash, balderdash and hooey that will still be floating around?

[quote] I really cannot believe that this is who we are putting up against Donald Trump.

I kind of like the fact that Joe is embracing his pre-WWIIism. What else is he going to name the tour -- "the Lit AF" bus tour?

This man needs to be locked in an insane asylum pronto!

GET OFF MY LAWN 2020

MSNBC would like this thread.

MSNBC Anchor: People Already Snarking at Biden’s ‘No Malarkey’ Slogan as ‘The Ultimate OK Boomer’

Has the Pro-Malarkey faction weighed in yet? I, for one, would prefer there be some sort of consensus on such definitive stance.

Jive Turkey!

Biden should make an old leprechaun his logo.

Stop jumping on the diving board, Ester!

He should go for something a little more butch....

"Darn Tootin'!"

Would he consider the abhorrent behavior by Hunter Biden - namely hooking up with his brother's widow and then knocking up his stripper side piece while smoking crack to be Malarkey?

He's almost as sleazy as Trump.

R50 Nobodyis sleazier than trump and his children. Nobody

Hunter isn't running for president, r50. And if children are fair game then let's talk about Jr..

I think cockamamie has a better ring.

I originally thought Biden as using it as a play on words. Mar A Lago........Mar Lar Key

Only Joe will put a stop to the shenanigans!

It’s cute, whatever.

I wouldn’t vote for him regardless of the slogan.

TOUCHED BY ANGEL

Now figure this one out.

𝑱𝒐𝒆 𝑩𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝒏𝒊𝒃𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒏 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒇𝒆'𝒔 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒃𝒊𝒛𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒈𝒏 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒑 𝒎𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕

It's an anagam for 'Ya, Markle'.

R58, I love Jill. She was feisty and entertaining throughout the Trump inauguration. She could kick Melania's ass in a fight.

R55, lol.

No malarkey, indeed.

[quote]Biden, in an interview with print reporters on his bus, pushed back against suggestions that Warren has broad enthusiasm in the party. “You don’t see that with Warren. Stop kidding a kidder, OK? C’mon man. Give me a break. Look at the polling everywhere, OK, tell me, tell me where this great enthusiasm is manifesting itself? ... She’s advertising millions and millions of dollars in New Hampshire. Why shouldn’t she be known there? So tell me, beyond that, where is the enthusiasm?”

[quote] Joe is old. He knows it and he's owning it. Good for him.

Bingo.

That's his charm. He's not trying to sound like funt. (fun aunt. SNL fans will get that.)

Quickly, someone, shut him up!

[quote]Biden suggested that he doesn't need Obama's endorsement but also didn't ask for it/understands why Obama isn't getting involved: “I’ve been around in significant positions long enough to handle consequential issues that I didn't need sort of a verification that the guy’s ready,” To Obama's suggestion that Biden lacks intimate relationships with voters, Biden says: “If you notice in our campaign I was the one that had the intimate relationships. I was the one that was sent into Pennsylvania ... Colorado ... Virginia ... Florida..."

Or, you know, let him talk some more... 😄

R1 I do. It's one of my favorite non-swear words. Considering I can make sailors blush, that's some achievement in salt-free language.

"The bitch stole my healthcare plan!" 😅

[quote]On Buttigieg's ACA + public option plan, Biden said: “He stole it!” Had he put out the same health care plan as someone else, Biden asked reporters, “What would you have done to me? Torn my ears off. Absolutely. I’d be a plagiarizing no good, old man who did bum-bum-bum."

Let's be a "No Malarkey" campaign bus tour in the Midwest!

Great thread starter?

Laugh all you want fellow DLers, but he's our best bet to get rid of Trump next year and you and I both know it.

The voters will determine who our best shot is during the primary process. No votes have been cast yet.

R66 fucking malarkey

it's *his* plan, but old man can't even get the details straight

[quote]That's his charm

It's an act. This is the same guy who has made a career out of doing Wall Street's bidding and being friends with the likes of Strom Thurmond. P.T. Barnum really did say it best.

Straight white male privilege really does cover up a multitude of shit.

You know, I've changed my mind on the biting finger thing and now find it endearing. Having said that, can you imagine if Warren or Kamala or Pete did that to their respective husbands? Straight white guys really do get away with anything.

[quote]Straight white guys really do get away with anything.

Please, the media, particularly the right wing media was all over it. Even DL has a thread going about it. If Warren or Pete did it, DL and the media would think it's adorable.

The good news for Biden is the media seems to be out of step on this and people found it adorable that two old people genuinely love each other as opposed to Trump and Melanoma.

[quote]If Warren or Pete did it, DL and the media would think it's adorable.

Pretty sure people would label either of them as unpresidential overnight. Of course, we'll never know.

None of them have the baggage that Biden has concerning women's issues.

Now if Pete did it with Anderson Cooper then people might think it's adorable.

[quote]None of them have the baggage that Biden has concerning women's issues.

Another non issue that only Republicans and the media seem to harp on.

Joe Biden's "No Malarkey" bus tour?

Heavens to Murgatroyd!

I keep seeing Irene Ryan as his campaign manager...

[quote]Another non issue

Sexual harassment in the workplace and abortion rights are non issues? Is this the Biden voting mentality?

Barack never would have did that to Michelle. He would have extolled her intellectual virtues in a passionate speech. It's called treating women as your equals. They're not simply a pair of breasts that can jiggle at your command.

Get back to me with something this decade, r80.

The second part of your post has zero to do with Biden. Bye, bitch.

[quote]Is this the Biden voting mentality?

Supporters are a reflection of their candidate.

[quote]Get back to me with something this decade,

The abortion issue and the Anita Hill incident have both come up within the last year . And he fence sat on the one, and refused to apologize for the other.

[quote]The second part of your post has zero to do with Biden

It was to show how many democrats don't humiliate their wives on stage like that.

[quote] Bye, bitch.

You poor deluded thing. He's never fucking you, so pick the gunt up off the floor and finally take a fucking shower. We can practically smell the stench from here.

Yup, more stupid ass talking points.

I thought you left the thread?

What happened, your ass get wedged in the door on the way out?

Never said I leaving, asshole. I was being dismissive of your stupid ass.

Grease the door somebody!

Well get him out. Two of you on one side and two on the other.

Push! Pull!

Oh, look sockpuppeting.

REMEMBER THE MAINE!!!

Biden 2020

Anybody is better than the racist/rapist currently in the White House.

Biden on the tour yesterday talking about his days as a lifeguard letting children feel him up.

[quote] “I got hairy legs that turn blonde in the sun and the kids used to reach in the pool and rub my leg down and watch the hair come back up again..and I tell ya what the men, the guys I worked with down here, they were all guys at the time”

No Malarkey is an Irish saying. Being Irish I know what the saying means. He is grabbling for something to stick. He really isn't presidential material.

This guy is too fucking old and out of touch.

Go Pete!

FINGER LICKIN GOOD!

Faith and begorrah!

He’s going to beat trump
