'You lying - dog faced - PONY SOLDIER!'

Gypsy Nirvana · Feb 11, 2020

Presidential hopeful Joe Biden recently directed this 'insult' (if you can call it that) at some voter that was criticising the voting at the Iowa caucus -

As a non-American - I was wondering what exactly a 'dog-faced pony soldier' is? - can someone describe it to me -

insults are art, its all subjective

Yes shawk - I did find it rather unique in construction - and also quite clever for a Presidential contender to use - since it is confusing as to whether or not it is a serious attempt at putting someone down - or he was just trying to be humourous - and create a talking point - as we have here -

*Maybe it was Joe's inner voice criticising himself even?

'A lying, dog-faced pony soldier': just what was Joe Biden talking about?
Biden called a woman a ‘lying, dog-faced pony soldier’ – but no one can find the film he thinks he’s quoting from

Concerns for the former vice-president’s 2020 bid were mounting after he was caught on camera calling a woman a “lying, dog-faced pony soldier” at a campaign stop in New Hampshire on Sunday.

When Madison Moore, a 21-year-old economics student, asked Biden whether voters could remain confident in his campaign after his poor performance in the Iowa caucuses, Biden asked her if she had ever attended a caucus. When Moore said yes, Biden responded: “No you haven’t! You’re a lying, dog-faced pony soldier.”

There didn’t seem to be any hard feelings – footage showed the audience laughing at Biden’s quip, and even Moore seems to be having a little giggle.

But his remark has still left people wondering what on earth Biden was referencing.

It’s not even the first time Biden has used the phrase. At a 2018 campaign event, talking about the Republican senator Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, Biden said: “As my brother, who loves to use lines from movies, from John Wayne movies … there’s a line in a movie where an Indian chief turns to John Wayne and says: ‘This is a lying, dog-faced pony soldier.’”

Biden’s spokespeople said the line comes from a John Wayne film – but it’s not clear it does. There is a 1952 western called Pony Soldier, but it does not star John Wayne, and no one is called a “lying, dog-faced pony soldier” in it, according to Slate. There is, reportedly, a line in the film in which a chief says: “The pony soldier speaks with a tongue of the snake that rattles.”

Swings and roundabouts; dogs and rattlesnakes, I suppose.
For those worried about what the misattributed quote might do to Biden’s support, fear not. A recent video of Biden’s supporters chanting his name to the tune of Everybody by Backstreet Boys proves love is not only blind, but also deaf – they probably haven’t even noticed.

The woman was from another camp. Biden was accusing her of coming into his camp and lying.

At least Joe didn’t grab her by the pussy and kiss her without asking.

Gypsy Nirvana · Feb 11, 2020

Funny you should mention that - as I did see some recent montage of Joe Biden hugging and kissing a few people - apparently he's known for showing 'public displays of affection' -

*I will try and dig it up - Hmmm - now where was it?

**Ahh - found it - one of them meme sites - so probably not exactly accurate - view with caution - lol

Yeah they can't do bacon, whiskey, or weed.

But if you want a stack of flapjacks and real syrup you could do much worse.

Oh yeah, police don't shoot you just because you stopped when they told you to.

I doubt Biden has any John Wayne traits.

But I would enjoy watching the Red Green Show before I popped Cocoon or Rio Bravo in the DVD player.

There's a good reason he's known as Creepy Uncle Joe.

Because Trump started yet another nickname to take focus off of his own creepiness?

Trump is a master at branding, and you are a sucker or a pathetic troll if you really believe that.

you know, trump & Biden neither one would be known for unwanted approaches if the first person they did it to knocked a few teeth out. were none of those women married? no "significant others" standing nearby? i would put someone in the hospital for grabbing my wife...boundaries, my friends, boundaries. millionaire or politician, no different than drunken street bum in my book.

Trump may have coined the term, but Joe definitely has boundary issues with women.

Dozens upon dozens pictures of him getting a little too close.

If any of those had been my daughter or wife, he'd have gotten a punch in the mouth.

Biden is almost a big a scumbag as Trump.
