Biden is known for doing things like this. There are probably thousands of stories over the years about people he's connected with and spent time talking to, even giving out his cell phone number. Drives his staff crazy. But he is a deeply caring, empathetic person. You could see the warmth and love from both sides of the aisle when he left the senate.

Imagine a president who talks to people because he cares, and who actually listens. Imagine a president who care about more than ratings and doing things for show. Biden looked more presidential than Trump has in nearly four years.
You don’t want a president, you want a Jim Jones.

'hard grilling' is asking the President of the USA to denounce QAnon and to stop retweeting false baloney like a crazy uncle. ooooh so tough.....lol.

Biden arranged a great opportunity to further inform voters of his agenda. You don't have to agree with it -- but that's what he did.

Trump -- in an effort to get better ratings -- agreed to go on a Town Hall without much thought and preparation and got skewered by the moderator and nobody is talking about the content of his agenda but the QAnon and the crazy uncle.

Yup......

At least two of Biden's town hall questions are staged

So he stayed and chatted with friends and colleagues after his DNC infomercial.

C'mon, man!

Biden is an ass who cares about nothing other than how rich he and his family can become via selling access and influence while he's in a federally elected office. He lied at his town hall about being endorsed by the Boilermakers (union). They endorsed Trump. So, clearly, he cares NOTHING about union members.

From the Town Hall:
Stephanopoulos: You said you don’t want to ban fracking. As you know, it’s an important issue here in Pennsylvania. Not everyone buys your denial. A member of the Boilermakers Local 154 Shawn Steffee was quoted in the New York Times today saying ‘You can’t have it both ways,’ he says ‘You can’t meet your goals to end fossil fuels without ending fracking.’ What do you say to people like Shawn who doubt your denial because they think you want to keep that promise?
Biden: I’d tell them the Boilermakers overwhelmingly endorse me, okay. So the Boilermakers unions endorse me because I sat down with them, went into great detail with their leadership on exactly what I would do, number one.
Boilermakers actual endorsement letter to Trump:

I don't need to "imagine". Image is fake. I'll take the real thing.
There is a man who is President of the United States of America who has done "town halls" before he even became President, who has helped untold thousands of people who were in need, who heard them, learned of their needy situation and used his own resources to help them. They know who they are. There aren't publicity photos showing these things. There are only individual human beings by the thousands, the "little guy" out there whose lives have improved due to Donald Trump's compassion and generosity and millions of "ordinary citizens, little people" whose lives have improved since Donald J Trump ran for the Presidency in 2016 and WON!

It's a lifestyle, not a campaign gimmick.

Thank you for pointing this out.

Some of the people Mr. Trump has helped were indeed “little guys”—like the man who stopped to help when Trump’s limo was broken down on the side of the road. Trump paid off his mortgage.

Some of the people were those like Sargent Tahmooressi, jailed one Mexico after accidentally crossing the border. Trump sent him money.

He sent $10,000 to a black bus driver who stopped a woman from jumping off a bridge.

He sent his private plane to fly a sick three year old boy for surgery when no commercial flight would take him.

There are plenty of examples like this, and many more we don’t know, and yet the left ceaselessly attack Trump, malign his character, hurl insults at him.....all while holding up a man who believes babies who survive an abortion should be denied medical care. It makes me sick.

To me, “crazy” is the way democrats couldn’t accept the last election, the way they acted like raving banshees when they tried to destroy Kavanaugh’s life, the way they condone rioting and looting as just part of a necessary effort, how they believe everyone must think as they do or they’re labeled racist, will ruin your life, cancel you, destroy your business or get you fired....THAT is crazy. Democrats are telling you they want to change America as we know it, give power to China, pack the Supreme Court, add additional states, all to have a one-party rule in America. No thanks.

Considering what Republicans have done, there is nothing democrats can do that would be any worse.
