[@bubbak435]

just get the hell outta here Joe.....

[@jrb5017]

Joey is pumped so full of drugs he does not know where he is

[@JasonMartin-tx5lf]

Trying to use his black card. Didn't you refer to us a cockroachs years ago? Yeah,ya did.

[@Republican-00769]

Is this school the *"racial jungle"* that Biden was referring to that he didn't want his kids going to? 🤷‍♂️

[@hartubmoses6645]

On what platform? References?

Judge Joe Brown on a speech Joe made in front of the Court House in Norfolk,Virginia and Judge Joe Brown was there.

[@savinghistory642]

but you voted for him in 2020 anyways didn't you

What does his life have to do with this college? This was not the time!

[@DarleneWoolard]

SYMPATHY

[@johndonley2450]

What a TOOL!

[@user-mv5yy8xi8o]

Did he seriously spend most of this speech talking about Bo the other half telling them how oppressed they are? Yes, yes he did.

Who ever is continuing to control this man like a puppet on strings has some bad intentions clearly! This is so wrong! W

[@laurietaylor8352]

He's not longer wanted in this country!

[@gutterpup4191]

Well, Pretty much the same stuff he always says. The day is about the graduates not him, but he made it all about him. Just another political speech. Next to no applauses. Complaining about water in election lines? That’s dumb. Keep in mind a few days ago he couldn’t remember the name of the college he was speaking at.

[@kathleencarter7231]

No, all you have to do is promise illegal student loan pay offs at taxpayer's expense!!

[@holystepper6893]

Why are they clapping for him. This is so cringe.

[@janetahlmann7866]

Boy this speech makes you want to get up and run for your life. Graduating commencement speeches are not supposed to be all about the speaker and thier life. It supposed to be a motivational speech to get these young people excited about starting a new chapter in their lives. I tried to watch to the end but I can't.

[@drbnaz8901]

When it comes to Joe Biden, I think Phil Collins best sums it up: "I know where you've been. It's all been a pack of lies."

[@GelcoatTech]

Beyond a disgrace

[@bruceroder3418]

What a joke!

[@jackeroo75]

Sorry for all the graduates as this is not a motivational speech but a campaign speech.

What kind of a President are you when your predecessor is 10 times better than you are?

Not really. I have a fantasy that voters will reject both. (Well, said it was a fantasy!)

[@tommyd9646]

[@DGNTX]

The whole Democratic party needs to be investigated for their corruption. But who would prosecute if they found anything because pretty much every Democrat party official is involved in the widespread criminal enterprise.

Biden's speech; I was in the Cokehouse yesterday talking to Putin about Zelinsky's war in Iran, I fell over my icecream and sandbags smell like white powder, where's my barbiturate milkshake?

[@kaamos79]

"What is democracy if you have to be 10 times better than everyone else to get a fair shot" Perceived fairness in specific social situations has nothing to do with democracy, which is simply the system of government in which the public choose their leaders - one person one vote.
