Honestly he recanted the story pretty well for it happening so long ago, but who knows how many times he's repeated it.

This thread is a perfect illustration of why "Fake News" logic applies to everyone. Y'all come in here with a Biden hate boner and so are ready to lap up anything presented as "senile Biden" irregardless of any truth.

I don't get it. His story made sense but it feels like you cut off the start of it to make it a bit confusing.

He used to be a lifeguard at this public pool. A guy named Corn Pop, real name Esther Williams, who lead a gang of tough guys, was messing around on the 3 meter board and Joe kicked him out of the pool, calling him by his real name. Corn Pop told him he'd be waiting for him with 3 guys with straight razors when he left work. A co-worker told Joe to take a pool divider as a weapon to threaten Corn Pop with. Joe walked out to his car to face Corn Pop and apologized for calling him Esther Williams instead of Corn Pop and Corn Pop forgave him.

I didn't realize this was unearthed and questioned by theroot. I guess it could be true

I'm not a Biden fan but calling this dementia is ridiculous. He's an old dude telling a rambling story from when he was a kid.

I'm with you on this for the most part but just want to point out that irregardless is a portmanteau of irrespective and regardless and ends up becoming an antonym due to the double negative of ir- and -less. Don't mean to be a grammar nazi but that's one of the rare words that actually make my eye twitch lol

his only offense is thinking anybody would give a shit despite it's a semi-interesting story that took place on his old stomping ground. but some of the crowd lapped it up so maybe that was the "read of the room" who knows

Are you guys for real?

Even with only this clip I understood.

When he became lifeguard at that pool, some local "though kids", one named Corn Pop, wouldn't listen to him and wanted to fight him. Corn pop waited for him at the parking lot after his shift. Biden asked the mechanic who worked there what to do, the guy gave him a chain to fight with. When Biden got to Corn Pop, he didn't back down but apologized to him for how he talked to him, so he got Corn Pop's respect who put away the folding razor blade he had (which, Biden says, they used to contaminate with rust to make cuts more dangerous). This was a story about the importance of apologies.

Eat some crow. No wonder ERA is always flabbergasted at him polling well if this is the kind of lens you're seeing reality through.
did everyone clap at the end?

I don't understand. This is a fairly well told story. I ramble more than that when I try to tell a story and my stories aren't half as interesting. He stayed on topic and all of his asides were brief and relevant. What about this is "trumpian" or supposedly some sort of spectacle?

This is all a misundestanding, it just used to be called like that back when a young Joe Biden first eat him some corn pop

Corn pop is the realest street name.

Any doubters in here think they'd ever fuck with a dude named corn pop? Hell no you wouldn't.

Biden surely crushed those debates yall, record players and making the kids hear words.

Oh and we cant forget that in response to him being an out and out racist in the 60s, his answer was to tell black parents to raise their kids better.

You can think the story was comprehensible...but that's a pretty low bar to climb considering what Biden has been running with thus far.

So apparently troublemakers calling themselves the romans led by a boy called corn pop is real.

But it's interesting Marty said him continueing to show up earned their respect and didn't mention anything about a chain vs rusted blade street fight. Maybe the whole thing sounds fake because Biden set them up as some badass gangbangers and not kids doing dumb kid stuff.

People claiming Joe may be senile and using their inability to follow this story as evidence may actually have a learning disability. Seek help.

I don't like Biden as a politician, think he is definitely too forgetful and gaffe-prone for the office of president, and that the media is obviously ridiculously biased for him.

But this is not an instance of "senile Biden lol". He's telling a pretty coherent story here. Let's criticize his actual weaknesses, policies, and gaffes, huh?

I didn't frame this thread as "senile" Joe Biden whatsoever. It was just an extremely random story that I thought was humorous.

He was making a timely reference to a popular female swimmer, Ester Williams, and apparently he forgot that he's old and no one knows who that is anymore.

This. I used to think that wasn't true. This new "far left" is showing that's not the case. Biden is going to win the nomination you nuts. Get the fuck over it already. No one in the real world cares about your "cancel culture" nonsense or any of the other craziness. Bye.

Wow, that's a post if i've ever seen one.

Calling out a candidate being borderline incomprehensible on the good days is apart of that new "far left" craze, they should just shut up and let him lose to Trump already, cause we are not in a democratic primary or anything. Fuckin hell man

...how in the world did you infer this from the thread?

I'm not trying to "cancel" Joe Biden at all. It was just a random story I thought was funny.

This story is completely coherent, there's just a few weird asides because Biden is not a good public speaker.

I don't know if he'll get the nomination, one can never count their chickens too early. I, for one, would prefer Bernie or Warren. But, I'll obviously vote Biden if he ends up getting the nom. Still, I'm not an irrational fool that concocts a narrative of "senile Biden" and then mindlessly agrees with every "news article" titled "BIDEN LOSES IT!" to support my narrative and preferred candidate. It's one thing to not want the man to win, it's another to buy into every false story to justify your dislike of him as candidate.

...I would vote for Biden too. I wasn't commenting on Biden's mental capacity in any way. It was just an extremely random story that I thought was funny.

Yes, I too read the title as "porn cop" and was expecting something wild. Well I guess that almost getting in a straight razor/chain fight is pretty boss.
