Joe Biden's Iowa road trip comes as his campaign faces the reality that he could lose Iowa -- and possibly finish as low as fourth place.
Algona, Iowa Joe Biden is nearing the halfway point of an eight-day tour through rural Iowa aimed at helping him regain the momentum he's lost there, on a bus emblazoned with an old-school Bidenism:"No Malarkey."
The term recalls the time the former vice president told Republican rival Paul Ryan in a 2012 debate that he was espousing"a bunch of malarkey."

I Honestly Love Horny Joe Biden Biting Jill Biden's FingerJoe Biden, along with his wife Dr. Jill Biden, have given us all an incredible early Christmas present, one I almost missed while on my media blackout during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend: Joe biting Jill’s finger during a campaign rally in Iowa on Saturday. It happened mid-speech—Jill’s right hand waved perilously close to Joe’s face and Joe, suddenly confronted with her finger, extends his head and takes a little bite. It’s the most indelible moment to date from the 2020 election season, one I cannot stop thinking about, and while I am horrified at the idea of Biden being the Democratic nominee, I unabashedly and wholeheartedly love horny old Joe chomping on his wife’s finger in public.
