when i meet someone i shake hands and say, “Hi, it’s nice to meet you” I don’t hug strangers.I should not have to hug anybody I don’t want to touch. Even if it is family, my decision.
Biden’s a creep. I don’t care if he needs human contact- that’s what his poor wife is for.

I was never the huggy type, however twenty years ago at my workplace the women there would come up and hug the stuffing out of me and a few would hunt me down and tell the dirtiest jokes you ever heard. Most of these ladies have retired and the new ones keep to themselves. They were from a different generation.

There are two of three women that I know at work that I will hug, mainly because I have been friends with them outside the workplace for 30+ years, otherwise I never instigate a hug. Outside these three women I hug my wife, Mom, mother-in-law, sister and daughter and usually my nieces will come up and hug me when they visit, otherwise no hugs. Today’s women have lost their minds, it is just not worth it.

Amazing how fast some people adopt every single concept and argument of the RadFems because they hate Biden politically. He should be nowhere near the white house because he is corrupt, awash in Ukrainian money, supported Obamacare, and a plagarist. But spare me the drama created b first job with her legs in the air under y a bunch of women for political reasons.

Ever think its funny (odd) that the hyenas are after Biden for a hug onstage, or putting hands on a kid’s shoulders onstage as the Grandparents stand there smiling at him, when the rest of the Dems are total perverts?
Gillibrand is eyeballs deep in that sex cult that brands women, Booker and Buttgig take it right up the poophole, Kamala got her first job with her legs in the air under a married man 40 years older than her. Hickenlooper took his mom to see Deep Throat.

But yes, lets all run to the fainting couch over Biden.
And lets parrot all their arguments about power dynamics, intersections, etc.
Idiotic

I think he is fully aware of what he’s doing and knows from experience that he gets away with it because of his position...

Think about Sessions slapping his hand away from Session’s grandchild...

“...putting hands on a kid’s shoulders...”

If you’ve viewed the photos of Biden and these kids, you have to realize it’s more than just “hands on shoulders” that Biden does...

If he did some of the things he’s shown to one of my grandchildren, I’d surely go to jail because I’d kick his ass to tomorrow...

I think you would do the same if it were your kin also....

RE: As I stated in the previous post; It requires a tortured rational to classify the listed behaviors that he has exhibited to COMPLETE STRANGERS as “harmless sign(s) of affection?”

Except, I don’t think the author is saying that or excusing Joe Biden’s behavior.

He said this:

“When saying that Joe’s actions are “wrong and unwanted,” half of that conclusion is fair enough. Using the word “unwanted” is acceptable because each individual is responsible for defining what they want or don’t want.”

and also this:

“When it comes to non-family members, it’s definitely fair to define your personal space if you’re not a hugger. When someone approaches you (particularly somebody with Joe’s reputation for physical contact) you have options. When you see him leaning in with his arms outstretched you can easily take one step back and politely say “sorry. I’m not a hugger” and reach out to grasp his hand for a handshake.”

He in effect AGREES with her. He however asks another question:

” If you tell someone not to hug or kiss you and they push their way in over your objections and do it anyway, you have a legitimate complaint. (And possibly even a simple battery claim.) If you say nothing and don’t correct their behavior, how are they to know they’ve crossed a line?”

THAT is relevant and not crap. Unless you want to say that we are not supposed to hug anyone, EVER.

Probably true, which makes him all the more corrupt and evil.

Let's say your daughter's boss is 'affectionate'...

...and he likes to hug his female employees... and smell their hair...

Your daughter's uncomfortable with it but she doesn't want to make waves - and besides the other young women put up with it.

The same people making excuses for tacky Joe Biden would NOT do the same if the man was an editor in their office, the cameraman in their TV studio, or the guy who comes in to fix the office copy machines.

Joe Biden's NOT hugging women he's close friends with, or children he's known since they were born... he's hugging women he has no business hugging - and we all know the difference.

Children aren’t old enough or brave enough to use this “option”...He is a sick bastard for the way he hovers around children... Just my opinion....

I wanted to brush up, so I bought “How to Hug.”
It’s what I get for buying books unseen. Turns
out “How to Hug” is the eleventh volume in a set
of Funk & Wagnalls encyclopedia.

Since it’s considered impolite to point out that she was a Bernie Sanders staffer and remains in his corner

This statement is a lame attempt to skirt around the writer's own previous statements about how all women must be believed and should not have their motivations for coming forward attacked.

As if the snide slightly sideways nature of her attack on the victim makes it somehow less hypocritical and vicious.

Which sentence in this article was that? I must have missed it.

Are you referring to this book:


BRIEF DESCRIPTION ( FROM AMAZON ):

Hugs can be tricky! But you can learn how to hug. Never hug anyone too tight—ouch! And don’t hug too many people at once—uh-oh! You can be a leg hugger or a bear hugger or a surprise hugger. If you don’t want a hug, it’s okay to say so. But if you learn how to give a hug and do it just right, you might get one back...so be ready! Jana Christy’s digital illustrations provide a charming twist to something everyone loves to do.

I have no idea how you could have missed it, since I included it, in italics, right in my post.

The words in italics that you wrote are these:

Since it’s considered impolite to point out that she was a Bernie Sanders staffer and remains in his corner

How does the above italicized statement make one conclude that ( see words bolded ):

"a lame attempt to skirt around the writer's own previous statements about how all women must be believed and should not have their motivations for coming forward attacked.

Where did he say that all women must be believed?

I've read Jazz Shaw's past articles and he did not even believe Christine Blasey Ford in her accusations against Justice Kavanaugh.

I would not lock him up solely based on these videos ( and there are many more) but I sure as heck would not let any children anywhere near him.

Yea but when my iPad pisses me off I can shoot it without ramifications. Humans not so much.
