PLEASE DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T LIKE JOE BIDEN

I feel I have been blessed with a keen ability to detect BS when I smell it and can call on my God-given common sense when necessary. I'm going to support a dear man outside my own personal political persuasion, and this evening, I'm watching an interview with Howard Swartz with Bret Baier today because I want to see what a reasonable leftie has to say. I'm quite open-minded, but the BS is a big problem that makes me wanna puke. My brother, a devoted leftie, says I was born with a propensity to smell it a mile away (bullshit).

If you're bored, move on please. This isn't entertainment.

Joe Biden and I have much I common, having been born of the same generation and having experienced much tragedy in life. Three for him and three for me. He has lost three precious close family members, and I lost a daughter, and have had two family betrayals that nearly cost me my sanity, tons of money, and two businesses. Legal fees added up to $90,000, and settling with the government (fines and 3/4 of a million$ in judgments, which we did fulfill to be free of a lien on our home. No one else in the group of those indicted paid their judgments, so it almost wiped us out, but we freed the lien on our property and owe the government nothing. We're FREE! We have to really watch our pennies today. Material goods matter very little to us now. We feel fortunate to have a roof, food, clothing, and loyal family and friends. Those betrayals taught us many valuable lessons in life and to not take foolish nothingness so damn seriously, so we just don't.

This crap going on that started with the "me too" movement is nonsensical, BS, and attention getters. Joe Biden was likely raised in a loving home who were demonstratively shown love. Are these women AND MEN who've been shown loving, kind physical gestures by Joe Biden really so hurt? Why did they wait till now? Were they afraid to say something at the time and take care of it themselves? I did.

I very narrowly escaped rape when I was 16. I managed to wriggle out the car door on my back and get myself together while he had his pants down. I said to him, "Zip your pants, dumbass." That was a real 'downer' so to speak, but it was the end of my immediate problem. Did I report it? No, and I never did. He was a family friend, and I handled it then and there. He's dead now (was it something I said?), and I won't divulge his ID with respect to the family name. I don't believe in trying to "cash in" on something that one didn't take care of at the time, and most of those times, it's one's own responsibility.

I can hear it now---"women must be heard." Yes, but grow a pair and say something to the man at the time. Women with a pair are maybe not liked but will be respected and won't be bothered again. Or better yet, go to the cops so there is a record ("see something, say something") In my not-so-humble opinion, why would Uncle Joe rub noses with a woman, smell a woman's hair, take her shoulder and run his hand down her back affectionately---all with many around and cameras running---if he thought it inappropriate? These "safe spaces and personal spaces," etc. have become crippling. I know women have suffered at the hands of men throughout time, and that should be dealt with harshly in the prisons, but this crap is ridiculous! It's petty, and I feel very sorry for its victims---good and decent men with experience, service for our country, and knowledge. I have a great deal of respect for that, and I'd like to think our culture hasn't forgotten how valuable that really is
