On edit: Please look at the subject line, and the picture.

1. I think this is a good thing

[hlthe2b]

3. On edit, the OP is fake and not at all funny

[A HERETIC I AM]

53. Funny is in the eye of the beholder.

And yes it is.

[obamanut2012]

56. ah

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

63. It's not fake; that's really Joe Biden and he's really throwing a football.

That is, he's passing; he also appears not to be running. Therefore the photo and the statement are not fake. It is, however, very funny. A sense of humor is a nice thing to have but I don't think one can be ordered from Amazon.

[hlthe2b]

64. This isn't April fools day and posting this shit in GD as "Breaking" is NOT funny.

Keep attacking others though.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

66. Whatever. Some people think Adam Sandler is funny.

Some people think Monty Python is not funny. Both opinions are completely inexplicable to me, as is the opinion that this post isn't funny. But whatever.

[hlthe2b]

68. Irresponsible is NOT FUNNY. Immature, yes.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

69. Why is this irresponsible and immature? It was obviously a joke.

No animals, vegetables or minerals were harmed by the posting of this joke.

[DFW]

73. Agree completely.

But, as you know, "get a life" is not enforceable in a court of law.

[DURHAM D]

8. The OP seems to be a joke.

I wish it were true but pretty sure his ego can't quit him.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

2. Wow.

[JuJuYoshida]

4. Make way for Kamala Harris

Hope he endorses her

[vlyons]

5. Good decision

I love Joe; we all love him. But it's time to pass the baton to the next generation. That he is standing down shows me that he has good judgement.

[fleur-de-lisa]

32. It was a joke.

[NightWatcher]

7. On 3rd and 2 he should've ran and not passed.

[jberryhill]

12. I'm getting the impression that most folks on this thread....

...are trying to figure out where that whooshing sound is coming from.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

19. They've been Waltered.

Or waltered. Both versions seem acceptable.

You’re a national treasure, Walter.

46. Well I'm sure for some

English is their second language.

[A HERETIC I AM]

54. ....

[WheelWalker]

18. RPO IMO

[tinrobot]

9. I really like the guy

He would have a made a great president, but perhaps this is for the best.

[fleur-de-lisa]

33. It was a joke.

[tinrobot]

58. Apparently so...

[DonaldsRump]

10. For real or not? n/t

[MrGrieves]

11. Did people really not get the joke?

/Facepalm

[jberryhill]

15. I'm a frayed knot

[MrGrieves]

17. Well don....

[MineralMan]

42. Say, aren't you that piece of rope who was just in here?

LOL!

[MineralMan]

39. Predictably, they did not.

Some folks take everything literally, it seems. Too bad...

[panader0]

13. Now if Bernie will back out too.....

[a kennedy]

24. and I kinda hate to admit that I want him to bow out as well.

[Freddie]

43. Me too

Both too old. Sorry.

[JudyM]

72. I guess you think RBG, 8 years older than Sanders, is not competent due to her age.

[Freddie]

74. RBG wasn't a near-octogenarian

When she took office.
Historically Dems win with a younger candidate. Think Obama, Bill Clinton, JFK, Jimmy Carter (52 when he took office). Our opponent will be 74. I just think a candidate at least under 70 has a better chance.

[a kennedy]

14. I'm kinda glad he's not running as well.......now he can use his talent and name to

help the next generation candidates.

[Renew Deal]

16. Source? I don't see this anywhere

[jberryhill]

20. Do you see the picture?

Did the picture not post?

If you see the picture, what is he doing in the picture?

[Renew Deal]

25. Your post is a lie

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. No, it's a joke.

[Renew Deal]

28. The post isn't the joke

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

31. I thought it was funny.

I caught the pass but lots of fumbles on this thread.

[A HERETIC I AM]

55. That's because, counselor....

you have a sense of humor.

Something on the wane here on DU, methinks.

[JudyM]

71. Good one, VO!

[MineralMan]

44. No, it's a pretty obvious play on words and satirical.

There is a difference between that and a lie. See if you can think of what that difference might be.

Posting satire in GD is a long, long tradition on DU. Recognizing it is a little harder, though, sometimes, for some people.

[jberryhill]

47. My lies are all true!

[LanternWaste]

60. You should try this one day...

"Damn it. I goofed it. I was wrong and won't dig my hole any deeper in an attempt to rationalize otherwise and simultaneously advertise a lack of character. Well, we're all just human. It happens.

You should try that one day. But today is not that day...

[jberryhill]

70. Hey

Seeing you make insinuations about someone else’s character is like finding my girlfriend with another guy.

Now, run along and post some cryptic insinuation about me somewhere.

I might get jealous.

[hlthe2b]

21. Very inappropriate post. Don't we have enough "fakery" from the other side? NOT FUNNY

You should self-delete

[andym]

22. It's a joke. nt.

[jberryhill]

26. BRAVO!

[BeyondGeography]

23. Fun's over

Self-delete already.

[a kennedy]

29. Was totally taken in by this........

[bearsfootball516]

30. This really should be deleted.

[murielm99]

34. Oh, come on.

It's a joke.

[kmla]

35. Well played, jberryhill...

I'm amazed at the number of replies that have not quite gotten the joke as of yet.

Or are incensed that someone would actually attempt to display wit and humor in a post.

[Anon-C]

36. Do you even Lounge, bruh?

[MineralMan]

37. Funny! Please ignore those who are screaming at you

to delete this. Some folks cannot see any way other than literally. Too bad for them.

[jberryhill]

38. The really scary thing, though

Is that I wouldn't really expect DUers to simply believe a completely unsourced statement like that. After all we've been through on the internets...

[MineralMan]

40. Oh...after posting a number of satirical things here,

I'm never surprised that some take things so literally. No matter how hard I try to signal the satirical nature of the post, some become incensed that they didn't get the joke. Of course, if everyone recognized it as satire, it would be poor satire, indeed.

[demmiblue]

45. Umm, no comment on that.

[democratisphere]

41. Joe will be our next President.

He is an expert at pass, punt and kick.

Joe is the right person for these times.

[Snotcicles]

62. Maybe he'll ask Fred Upton to be his VP. nt

[ornotna]

48. How do you know he's not running?

Can't see his legs or feet in that picture.

[peggysue2]

49. You got me with the headline

But then the picture made me laugh.

Well done.

Btw, it seems your plea beneath the pic went unnoticed by more than a few

[customerserviceguy]

50. I admit it

you got me! And yes, I have a sense of humor about it, just like I do when late-night comedians make fun of candidates of both parties during political season.

[Stand and Fight]

51. Isn't this more suited to the Lounge than here?

[JCanete]

52. hahaha!

[nolabear]

57. Thanks for the startle and then the giggle.

We need some laughter. It releases oxytocin to counteract all that cortisol we’re bathing our brains in these days. I’m serious. We’re doing ourselves harm by being so scared and angry with no satirical relief!

[Yonnie3]

59. ...

The OP.

The responses.

[dgauss]

61. Hang on I'm getting something...

Almost there...


yep...



I got it! It's a joke.

[JI7]

67. and at the same time indications Beto will Run
