I would have characterized it as a disconnect between mouth and brain rather than lack of the later.

While this story certain has its considerable humor there is a terribly sad part as well. First, there are a large number of voters who believe it. Second, our leaders, as a group, are cosmically pathetic in their considerable lack of ability. In an adult world these guys would never be taken seriously and even exposed for what they are. In fact they’d not be given such a broad forum to air their shallow thoughts. We seem to be in an Age of Stupid where adults are no longer welcome.

What’s up with all of this over-the-top language by Dems? It’s like one cliche after another in propping up their man.

It is a very effective tool for their simple minded supporters. Seriously.

“What’s up with all of this over-the-top language by Dems?”

Their preaching to their base. MY GOLDEN RETRIEVER has more brains than their base.

[dfwgator]

I seem to recall there was once a leader who took his name from the term "Man of Steel".....ah, yes, good old "Koba" himself.

[DooDahhhh]

That is down right laughable.

[tgusa]

“Their” = “They’re”, first time.

"This man has a spine of steel," Biden said.

[trustandobey]

Sure! Spine of steel, what happened to his wrists?

The main difference was that Stalin wa actually masculine. A blood-lusting and power-mad ghoul, to be sure, but a masculine one. Barry is as manly as a Teletubby.

[ilgipper]

I thought it was “a backbone like a ramrod”, not a “spine of steel”. Biden is a goofy b@st@rd.

I didn’t know Jello had come out with a “Steel” flavor . . .

". . . he wasn't going to give up a million jobs . . . ."

But, in order to impose coercive government control and gain union support, he was willing to take money out of the pockets of millions of citizens and destroy millions of other jobs and potential jobs and do irreparable harm to many citizens.

Spine of steal, for sure. Haven’t heard a peep about the bondholders or dealership owners who had their property seized. Are there lawsuits brewing, or is everyone intimidated?
