    Just goes to show, Joe is in the job, so the job must be as demanding as keeping the coffee vending machine supplied with coffee.

    So you don't think Trump should run in 2024?

    You people, with your cultish fascination for Jill Biden, remind me again and again why this thread is perfectly placed and pinned in the humor section of this forum.

    Let's remind ourselves why Jill Biden got her doctorate:

    Joe Biden, on the campaign trail, explained that his wife’s desire for the highest degree was in response to what she perceived as her second-class status on their mail.

    “She said, ‘I was so sick of the mail coming to Sen. and Mrs. Biden. I wanted to get mail addressed to Dr. and Sen. Biden.’ That’s the real reason she got her doctorate,” he said.


    Let's also remind ourselves that she got that degree submitting a sophomoric dissertation at the same school for which they named an entity after her husband, the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy and Administration, which is located in a state in which he was a US Senator for decades. She's pathetic through and through, just like her husband, just like her cult-like following.

    The Bidens have senses of humour.

    This is the quote from the article with additional context. Point out where it suggests that Biden is being sarcastic:

    Joe Biden, on the campaign trail, explained that his wife’s desire for the highest degree was in response to what she perceived as her second-class status on their mail.

    “She said, ‘I was so sick of the mail coming to Sen. and Mrs. Biden. I wanted to get mail addressed to Dr. and Sen. Biden.’ That’s the real reason she got her doctorate,” he said.

    Amy Sullivan, a religion writer for Time magazine, said she smiled when she heard the vice president’s wife announced as Dr. Jill Biden during the national prayer service the day after President Obama’s inauguration.


    What is your evidence that he was being sarcastic or ironic in his statement? Where in the LA Times article suggests that he was not being sincere?

    Was Jill Biden being ironic when she referred to Latinos as breakfast tacos:



    And what exactly is a bow-guh-duh? Did she mean bogeda?

    I understood the following to be humorous.
    “She said, ‘I was so sick of the mail coming to Sen. and Mrs. Biden. I wanted to get mail addressed to Dr. and Sen. Biden.’ That’s the real reason she got her doctorate,” he said.”


    Jill Biden may have made mistakes in her Spanish but she was talking about diversity of the community.

    she has yet to claim to be an architect.

    I mean, the predecessor couldn't say origins or unanimous.

    How sad is the person who must denigrate a lovely lady in order to lift themselves up. Can you imagine if she was a soft porn model?

    Yes, it's humorous. That's why this thread belongs in the satire forum, because the Biden's are a joke. But there is no evidence that he was being ironic. If he was joking, surely, they would indicate so. For example, if he were being tongue-in-cheek, they would have framed his quote to indicate so. For example, they could have framed that same quote as so:

    She said, ‘I was so sick of the mail coming to Sen. and Mrs. Biden. I wanted to get mail addressed to Dr. and Sen. Biden.’ That’s the real reason she got her doctorate,' joked Biden. Or they could have phrased it other ways, such as "laughed Biden," "Biden joked," A bunch of ways that they could have written it to ensure the reader that he was not being sincere. But they didn't. You have no evidence--none--that he was joking. That quote came from an LA Times article, not Yellowhammer News. Were he joking, I'm pretty sure the Democrat-supporting LA Times would phrase it so.

    Just like all Democrats, she was pandering. Here's a hint for Doctor Jill Biden, the most doctor of all doctors, if you're going to pander, at least do so correctly. The fact that she doesn't understand how to pronounce the word "bodega," which is not some esoteric word, clearly indicates that she doesn't really care about the community to which she was pandering. It was all "let me say some nice words and you vote Democrat, okay?"

    She denigrates herself. What's sad is that there are people who decide to brownnose Jill Biden. What's even sadder is that Jill Biden did not stop Joe Biden from running for president, given his mental state. But just like getting her degree by submitting a sophomoric dissertation at the same school for which they named an entity after her husband, the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy and Administration, which is located in a state in which he was a US Senator for decades, it's all for vanity. And that is what this thread is: an unironic praise of the personification of vanity, Jill Biden. And that is hilarious. And that is why it is appropriate that this thread is pinned in the Humor & Satire section of this forum.

    Really? Are we going to go there? Let's compare how Biden talks to how Trump talks:

    Biden


    Trump

    All humour doesn’t have to be delivered on a sledge hammer.

    A general observation is not evidence to a specific situation.

    It wasn’t general, it was specific to your post which evinced no awareness of subtle humour.

    What was her dissertation about, and what, specifically, did you find sophomoric?

    Biden shows no sign of mental illness.

    By all accounts, she is a lovely lady. That's not brownnosing; it's just an observation.

    You like reading things that are not there, it seems. My post does not indicate that subtle humor does not exist; my post is about a quote from Joe Biden that says that his wife got her doctorate, so that she could be addressed as "Dr. Biden," not "Mrs. Biden." You are suggesting that he was being humorous. When asked what evidence you are basing that on, you simply state a general truism about how humor is sometimes subtle, which is not evidence that he was being ironic, even in a subtle way. And do you know why you have to say that? Well, it's because you don't have any evidence that he was joking. None. If he was joking, even in a subtle way, the LA Times could frame the quote in a way that would indicate that, such as saying "joked Biden," "laughed Biden," or "said Biden sarcastically," etc., etc. You have none of that. You are making a baseless claim, and you're doubling and tripling down on it. This is pathetic, and humorous. Again, this thread so deserves to be pinned in the Humor & Satire subforum, and each post you make is evidence of that.

    Here's just a snippet from her dissertation:

    "Three quarters of the class will be Caucasian; one quarter of the class will be African American; one seat will hold a Latino; and the remaining seats will be filled with students of Asian descent or non-resident aliens"
    --Jill Biden, a quote with grammar, punctuation, and mathematical errors all in one.

    Wow, what a laughably absurd statement. This month, the man just claimed he had cancer.

    Blah, blah, blah. I didn’t mention irony. “Evidence” that he was joking? you’re not joking are you?

    No, I am not joking. You are the one that made the claim. And this is how you respond. What absurdity.

    Sallyally: *makes a claim*
    Xyce: What is the evidence for your claim?
    Sallyall: Evidence? What, are you joking?

    What a joke.

    Jill Biden is a refreshing real woman compared with her predecessor.

    It’s good that Jill Biden is articulate and able to make appearances and speak.

    The woman compared Latinos to breakfast tacos.

    She can't even pander correctly, which is hilarious, as she is a Democrat. You people are supposed to be the connoisseurs of pandering.
