Joe Biden made an unplanned appearance at the Glamour Women of the Year Live Summit in Brooklyn on Monday morning. With his wife, Jill Biden, the former vice president of the United States was interviewed by the magazine’s editor in chief, Cindi Lieve, during which she asked him about sexual harassment, specifically how men in power are defending themselves by claiming they came from a different era and it was “acceptable” in the past.

“Give me a break. I’m part of that generation,” Biden, whose new memoir, Promise Me, Dad, is out on Tuesday, said in response. The politician went on to reflect on the lessons he learned from his father, who used to say that “the greatest sin anyone could commit is the abuse of power.”

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

You give me a break, Joe. I didn't do in private what you do in public.

You know, just like "racism", saying you know what was common in the past "some", I don't want to overstate it, it is true, our "sexual mores" have changed.  Yes, and to an extent, hollywood, pornography, etc. I think has led to some destruction and damage.



Someone like Judge Moore and Biden too, grew up in a world where they might see advertisements like this. These kinds of "sexist" ads are often clickbait but they do exist.

This one is even from the '60s or maybe even '70s:

The brazen hypocrisy of a creepy old man like Joe Biden's coming out to condemn sexual harrassment is almost too much to bear.......

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.
