Remember when Joe said if anyone disrespected the press, he would fire them on the spot!

As the saying goes, he's not giving him a hard time, he's HAVING a hard time

I can't imagine what would happen if Trump did this.

[alexpoor]

It’s just the irony how he ran his campaign on being the old friendly nice guy who didn’t act like that

Glad the adults are back in charge. No more mean tweets. How is your grocery bill?

Take notice that a FOX person rolls w/ the punchs.Unlike many others that would still be WHINE"N about it.In fact he rolls w/ it + busts his own nuts to make the story even funnier.

"poor kids are just as bright as white kids"

[ioncefellfrommars]

He's unprofessional, he's rude, he has a hot temper, and he tries to rule through fear and threats. Never mind, "not a good president " He's just not a good human in general.

There is always another face of a politician. The real face. It’s always hidden.

Hey ABC, we are still waiting for Robin Roberts to "clear the air" about Juicy Smolieu. You know, that french actor. Beautiful!

[TwinGoats]

So tweeting mean things are bad but saying them out loud is cool... got it

[kevinpatrick]

Joey stated back in early 2021 - “I’m not joking when I say this: If you’re ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect or talk down to someone, I promise you, I will fire you on the spot — on the spot. No ifs ands or buts, ” ... I guess that doesn't count if it was Joey actually doing the disrespecting. What a class act we have as our so-called president.

[MrJeronlewis]

That's hysterical. You guys wouldn't stop talking about this for years if trump said that.

[louisfriend]

It’s ok he “cleared the air” everyone.

[ajanderson]

It was not a hot mike! Thats when you dont know the mic is on. He just called him that straight up and the media is trying to make it sound better.

[pauldusharm]

The saying "there's no such thing as a stupid question" might not be true, but talking to your self over an open mike is.

[craighansen]

Just laugh it away, who else is known for maybe the VP?

[loudemaria]

How dare Peter say this. You know that we only want to know Biden's favorite ice cream flavor.

"I am not joking when I say this, if you are ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot, " Biden said. "On the spot. No ifs, ands or buts."

I'm feeling more unified by the day.
