I was referring to Larry's post, not something you said, H.

It's just that character is an ephemeral and non-quantifiable thing, so some of us are left to wonder. Actually we all have jobs; character is not the description, unless in a footnote.
Character left the arena in 1992.

My point is that you lack the credentials to judge the man's character, especially in light of the overwhelming number and quality of those who actually do have the credentials to judge his character.
Well, your algorithm to decide whether somebody has the credentials to judge Trump's character seems to be "Credible if and only if (s)he support Trump", so your statement is rather tautological.
I'm sorry, was what I said over your head?

fairness requires me to note for the record that those comments written in 2014 also noted that Mr. Biden was a man of genuine integrity and character. It is also worth noting that I wrote in these very pages that Donald Trump “is stubbornly uninformed about the world and how to lead our country and government, and temperamentally unsuited
tl;dr version: Trump is an incompetent asshole, Biden is an incompetent nice man.
Presumably he saw them as incompetent because they both disagreed with him. I do hope we're not going back to thinking that the neo-cons had it right all along. One of the few things I liked about DJT was his reluctance to bomb the shit out of brown people.
Then get over it, because we're going back to it.

Former SecDef Gates said that when it came to foreign policy, Biden was wrong almost 100% of the time?
By Robert Gates himself:
While it is certainly fair to quote my criticisms of Joe Biden’s record on national security, fairness requires me to note for the record that those comments written in 2014 also noted that Mr. Biden was a man of genuine integrity and character. It is also worth noting that I wrote in these very pages that Donald Trump “is stubbornly uninformed about the world and how to lead our country and government, and temperamentally unsuited to lead our men and women in uniform. He is unqualified and unfit to be commander-in-chief” (“Sizing Up the Next Commander-in-Chief,” op-ed, Sept. 17, 2016).
Heh. Gates speculates as to whether Biden is too old...

Why not put a big red box around the bit where he says he's a man of integrity, and one of those rare people you know you could turn to?
That's actually a really positive thing to say about anybody.
I know, it's less positive after that, but having Robert Gates think he's wrong on foreign policy is also a pretty good recommendation in my book.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

A man of integrity, but a bit age-addled is EXACTLY what this country needs. Is that your point?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

No, I think you need to start electing people who are in their 50's. However, it might be better than a man with no integrity who's a bit age addled.

I know Joe is probably guilty of raking in money from China, but I don't think I'd say he has no integrity.

He’s a man of values...

Oh, wait, you want a man of integrity...

Yep, you can find whatever you want on Twitter.

Nah, you're just busy dragging a fine tooth comb around, searching for messengers you agree with.

I support examining the election for irregularities (read fraud), but I also think that IF the Trump administration is trying to block the transition that is so, so wrong.
I am open to the “big one” in terms of voter fraud but all I see so far is “squirrel”. You can only say that to a dog so many times before it just lays there unimpressed.

4 years ago the democrats had a fit over Flynn speaking to a foreign leader on the phone. Biden just said he had already spoken to 6 world leaders and had discussed things he will be doing with them - not a single word is said.
I don't know who will ultimately be declared the winner. What I DO know is that if Biden is declared the winner, we have just signed our nation's death warrant.

I thought you said in a few days there will be an explosion and all the voter fraud exposures will come to light.
What happens if there is no explosion and all the lawsuits fizzle?
You will actually accept that Biden won? Or still believe the stolen election theory in spite of the lawsuits getting dismissed one by one. Which they are of course.
-
I think we pretty much all know who ultimately will be declared the winner.
And I think we pretty much all know who won't accept this result.
