The mind that never finds its way back



Only ‘Lord Almighty’ can tell me to stand down, says Biden

Joe Biden has said only the “Lord Almighty” can tell him to stand down, as he refused five times to say what he would do if his allies in the Democratic Party turned on him over his health.


The mind that finds its way to wild places is the poet’s; but the mind that never finds its way back is the lunatic’s.

I know Obama is highly thought of in Democrat circles, but I've never heard him called the "Lord Almighty" before.

Plus he's in no position to be invoking the Lord, where he's headed.

I may be mistaken but I suspect that Biden is a politician first and religious belief well down on the list of his attributes. President Joe Biden’s is a Catholic and often speaks of his religious convictions and quotes the Bible, and he attends Mass regularly, yet some of his political convictions seem out of step with his 'faith'.

Perhaps I am being uncharitable but I suspect his religious observances are performative and carried out for social reasons. In which case "Only ‘Lord Almighty’ can tell me to stand down, says Biden" is just rhetoric uttered to impress.

Sam - ha ha, maybe it will come.

James - and his family.

DJ - Biden seems to think he outranks the Pope too.

I guess that when Donald Trump becomes president in November, his senility will be the main reason why he and his awful family will duck out of the limelight and claim insanity...

Scrobs - if Trump wins, I'm sure the Bidens will duck out of the limelight and hope Trump doesn't have them investigated.
