Well, I have, including three of my own and, I promise you, I never had lecherous thoughts while I was holding them that way.
Not a new thing, unfortunately...... look up pedophiles that abuse infants and toddlers, and you will be horrified by what you find, @Shirley Martin .
I respectfully disagree that Joe Biden is abusing that child. If he was going to abuse one, I doubt if he would do it in front of hundreds of cameras. Don't pedophiles usually do their dirty deeds in secret?
It is hard to say what was in the mind of Joe Biden. It could just be an innocent way of trying to hold the child, but you can see that the mother is actually the one holding the baby, so no reason for Biden to have his hands on the little fellows body like that. The child looks positively upset about it, too. I can understand what you are saying about picking up our children, and like you said, I am sure that I also picked up my children in whatever way worked best at that moment, with no thought of anything else except picking up my child. As for most of the dirty deeds happening in private, that is probably true, as far as actual pedophilia. However, most of us remember some kind of relative or friend’s father, (when we were kids) who was just way too “touchy” with his hands when he had the opportunity, and that often happened at some kind of family gathering. If the inclination is there, it is going to show up to some degree in everyday behavior, in my opinion.
You have got to be kidding me!!!!!!! What kind of sick person would accuse another of something like that. I have held my children and grandchildren like that. With the baby reclined against your arm it is a very secure grip. My colicky babies were always soothed lying on my forearm on their tummies, my hand grasping their groin. and the other stroking their back.
I must admit to a certain amount of pity for Joe Biden these days. I honestly believe the man is in the early stages of dementia and the DNC is sighing with relief that the pandemic is keeping him in his basement out of public scrutiny. A concern I have is who will be his running mate? If by chance he is elected, I don't believe he will be physically well enough for the rigors of the office, so whoever is vice-president is extremely critical. In my opinion, that Stacey Abrams is pathetic has no business being named as a possibility. I hope that the vetting process will eliminate her early on. I also wonder if the pandering for women/minorities by insisting on a female VP candidate is a good move? So far I am totally unimpressed with the names in the hat so it will be interesting to see how that unfolds.
I do not think that Biden is intended to make it all of the way to the elections in November. As some have mentioned, I think that he is possibly a placeholder for another candidate who will be brought in once Biden has been disqualified either for health reasons, or for the sexual abuse charges against him. I am not sure who the Democratic Party will choose, and I think that they are still trying to see who they think has the best chances. Otherwise, I agree with your concern about who Biden chooses as his running mate, because if he were elected, I think that something would still happen where the VP would have to take over as president, and then could appoint a new VP. The person that I see being the most likely at this moment would probably be Michelle Obama, because she has been a party favorite, and would have the best chance of carrying the vote. Some people have said on facebook that it would not matter how many women Biden had molested or raped, they would vote for anyone on the ballot just to get Trump out of office; so anyone that they pick will probably get the anti-Trump voters. However, many of the longtime Democrats have become very disgruntled with their party, and are apt to vote for Trump now also. My friend in Idaho said that she has been a democrat all of her life, but when they started supporting abortion so hard that she vowed right then to never vote for any democrat ever again. Some people who feel that way, but don’t like Trump, are likely to not even vote, which also happened in 2016.
I have made no secret of the fact that I do not like Trump as a person, but I will never be able to support the liberal agenda. As much as it grieves me I will vote for Trump this fall. I actually feel pity for Joe Biden; he should have put his ego aside and stepped away from the limelight.
