Biden: George Floyd's death must prompt action, police reform
Joe Biden continued his de facto listening tour on race issues in America on Thursday night, telling a virtual town hall that the tragic death of George Floyd in police custody must be a moment for action.
"I see you, I hear you, and I'm angry as well. But we have to turn our anguish into purpose," Biden said during an online town hall hosted by The Shade Room, an entertainment media company focused on the African American community.
"If we just let this wound scab over again, it's never going to heal," he added during the event, which was moderated by actor Don Cheadle.
Repeating lines from his speech Wednesday about Floyd's death in police custody, Biden called the Minneapolis man's death a "wake up call for all of us" and called for policing reforms like the review of hiring and training practices in city police forces and the need to "hold bad cops accountable."
He also spoke candidly about how he didn't totally anticipate what would follow the election of the first black president, Barack Obama.
"What I didn't realize is … it's a constant pull and tug in America," he said. "America is not a fairytale … It's a constant struggle between good and evil."
He added that, "I thought you could defeat hate. I thought you could kill hate."
"But you can't," Biden said. "Hate only hides."
The town hall came amid nationwide protests against police brutality and racism in the aftermath of Floyd's death. All four officers involved in Floyd's death have been charged.
In recent days, Biden has held several events that he's used to respond to the killing.
In addition to his speech Wednesday, he spoke on Tuesday to African American leaders and visited a church in Wilmington, Delaware. On Sunday, he visited a site in Wilmington where demonstrators had protested Floyd's death.
A short while after the event, President Donald Trump tweeted about the 1994 crime bill Biden supported — criticism he has faced throughout the campaign, including from other Democratic presidential candidates — calling it a "total disaster."
"It was mass incarceration for Black people, many of them innocent. I did Criminal Justice Reform, something Obama & Biden didn't even try to do - & couldn't do even if they did try. Biden can never escape his Crime Bill!" he wrote.
No wonder law enforcement prefer Trump

Joe Biden warns that President Trump ‘is going to try to steal this election’

Joe Biden on Wednesday night had a blunt warning about President Trump and the lengths he would go to limit access to ballots in November, sharply escalating his rhetoric about his Republican rival five months before voters head to the polls.

“This president is going to try to steal this election,” Biden said in an interview on “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.” The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee said of ensuring that the voting process is fair: “It’s my greatest concern. My single greatest concern.”
Biden was also asked whether he has considered what would happen if he wins but Trump refuses to leave office.

“Yes, I have,” he said quickly.
The interview appeared to be edited at that point, but Biden resumed by speaking about the number of high-ranking former military officers who spoke out over the past week about Trump’s response to the protests.
“I’m promise you, I’m absolutely convinced they will escort him from the White House with great dispatch,” Biden said.
The remarks are some of Biden’s most forceful and far-reaching to date about the anxieties many Democrats feel about the potential for interference in November’s election. It is playing out amid concerns about ballot access, long lines to vote and how Americans will cast ballots if safety concerns over the novel coronavirus are still widespread.
Two months ago, Biden said that Trump would attempt to delay the election, even though Trump doesn’t have the power to do so and had not suggested he would attempt to do so.
“Mark my words: I think he is gonna try to kick back the election somehow, come up with some rationale why it can’t be held,” Biden said in late April...…...

…………..Biden said that attacks on him are more difficult, because he is well known.
“People know me and they know me, warts and all,” Biden said. “I have weaknesses, for real.”
Asked what they are, he said, “I always say what I think.”
He also said that his “old stuttering days occasionally come back,” briefly mimicking a stutter.
“I sometimes make political gaffes,” he added. “You know the old expression, a gaffe in Washington is a politician telling the truth.”

I wonder what 'Ol Joe said where they edited the video?

I believe Joe is right. Trump will do anything to avoid this election and it will be underhanded, to say the least. I don't think voter suppression will be enough to avoid getting his ass handed to him, so he will fabricate an excuse, like marshal law or war with Iran or some other such dumbfukkery.

The Low Road is going to be awfully busy for the next few months.

I cannot imagine an outcome to this election that will not result in a chaotic dispute.

Don't think so. Much of his stuff is really funny. I guess it is how one interprets it.
If you find putting down the thoughts and opinions of others fun I guess . But Christians and Republicans are fair game , every one hates them .
