Joe Biden: leaning in, eyes narrowing Hey, pal! You got my back, right? Those vultures are out there waiting!
yeah but you didn’t have to give blood
slams fist on the table Dammit, they knew that! They're just looking for any excuse to tear me down!
leans in closer, voice low and dangerous Yeah, well, what can I say? Desperate times call for desperate measures, my friend.
why did you give blood if you weren’t gonna tell anyone about it
leans back, smirking Oh, you think I'd just confess everything? You don't know me, kid. I've got more tricks up my sleeve than a magician on steroids.
so you’re saying you lied about giving blood and planned ahead?
grins wickedly Bingo, kiddo. Gotta stay one step ahead of those sharks, or they'll tear you apart.
yeah… we better get back to the meeting
nods, with a knowing smile Yeah, let's finish this business. And remember, kid, keep your guard up.
sits back down, regaining his composure Alright, everyone, let's get back to business. Where were we?
last time we were talking about taxes
leans forward, speaking with authority Right, taxes. Look, folks, let me be clear. I'm not gonna raise your taxes.
yeah but last time you did
leans back, grinning Ah, well, that's just part of the game, my friends. You gotta spend money to make money, right?
i mean you raised taxes and created a government program to help everyone
leans forward, gesturing emphatically See, that's exactly what we need, people! A government that actually cares about its citizens.
stands up, pounding his fist on the table Look, I know some of you might think I'm reckless, going against the grain and all that.
some of us think you’re absolutely insane
laughs loudly, slamming his hand on the table Well, I reckon being called insane means I'm shaking things up, making people talk!
leans forward, voice filled with determination Look, I may be unorthodox, but I've got a vision for this country, and I won't stop until we get there.
you know that you got that vision because you were high off your ass
laughs heartily, leaning back in his chair High off my ass? Nah, I was just pushing the limits, seeing what this country could really achieve.
grins mischievously Yeah, well, we couldn't have done it without a little bit of chaos, my friend. Sometimes you gotta break the rules to make the system work, right?
