Still among our favorite mug designs
Old Handsome Joe Biden has once again deliberately violated Wonkette's very clearly-stated commenting policy, speculating that if he got the chance, he'd happily pop that ol' bully Donald Trump one, pow, right in the kisser.
No, Yr Wonkette has not accidentally re-posted a story from October 2016. It's Biden himself who's calling back to that story, virtually word for word; during a speech in Miami Tuesday, the 75-year-old former Veep was still plenty mad about Trump's Access Hollywood tape, and said,
A guy who ended up becoming our national leader said, "I can grab a woman anywhere and she likes it" [...] They asked me if I’d like to debate this gentleman, and I said no. I said, "If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him."
There does at least seem to be at least a tangential reason for this replay of Joe Biden's Metaphorical Hits; the Miami speech was part of a national anti-assault campaign called "It's On Us," which we should note does not actually promote old guys taking to fisticuffs in defense of women. Speaking of Trump's dismissal of the Pussy Tape as mere "locker room talk," Biden said,
I've been in a lot of locker rooms my whole life. I'm a pretty damn good athlete. Any guy who talked that way was usually the fattest, ugliest S.O.B. in the room.
Needless to say, Donald Trump took the taunting with all the grace and cognitive dissonance you'd expect:
For Roll Call, the exchange recalled the 1804 duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton, in which the two rapped with the most sublime wordplay before Burr shot Hamilton dead.
For WaPo's Philip Bump, it was an occasion to fact-check the absurd, a prospect we can always get behind:
Talked to a boxing coach and an MMA trainer about who'd win a Trump-Biden brawl. Both picked Biden. https: //t.co/JySqIq9FOd

Ex-Sheriff With 37 Pieces Of Flair Just Asking If Old Handsome Joe Biden Is Gay Homosexual
He is angry that his thumbs are opposable. He thinks that means they are disloyal.
I kind of agree that MAYBE Joe shouldn't have said this. But it's really the essence of him - he's known for being colorful & unfiltered. And I'll never stop being amazed that Biden, who has endured the unendurable, still has the passion & patriotism - without, seemingly, a trace of bitterness - to fight for what's right, all the goddamn time.
