Joe the Biden

It's early and I'm honestly trying to keep an open mind but I can't with this guy. VP was your great 2nd (or 3rd) act, Joe. Just revel in it and move on.

Just 19 more months of this, folks: https://t.co/UpH7SG4aan

This isn't self-deprecation, it's fake self-deprecation aimed at minimizing the actual accusations (and videos). You can think that's all bullshit if you want, but it's a dick thing for Joe to pretend he doesn't think it's all bullshit then mock the whole thing while pretending to mock himself.
