Stop the Presses: Joe Biden May be Corrupt!
Ok, so it looks like there is a new, big pile of evidence that Joe Biden is corrupt, and has been for years. Biden and his family are all Democrats, so I don’t think anyone expects any of them to go to prison. The question is, will this affect the election in a couple of weeks? I can’t believe that any Democrat or Republican voter had previously thought that perhaps Joe Biden was not corrupt. But perhaps this latest pile of evidence makes that open secret more difficult to ignore. I guess. But we’ve been ignoring even worse behavior by this guy for years. So honestly, how could this new evidence change anyone’s opinion of him?
So I don’t think it will change the election, because I don’t think anybody is voting for Joe Biden (or Kamala Harris, if they’re honest). I think some people are voting for Donald Trump, and others are voting against Donald Trump. But nobody is voting for Joe Biden. Trump is a big personality – you love him or you hate him. Biden is, well, the other guy. Whatever. So I think Biden will win about half the vote, like other Democrats. And I can’t imagine anything that could possibly change that. What do you think? Will this corruption scandal have any impact on the upcoming election?
One last thought. Let’s presume that Biden wins about half the vote. Ok.
Now, try to imagine who the Democrats could possibly nominate who would not get about half the vote. Who on earth would that person be? Heck – that paragon of virtue, achievement, and personal warmth named Hillary Clinton won about half the vote!
Who could do worse? Maybe Harvey Weinstein with Vladimir Putin for Veep? I really think even he would win at least 45 percent. The Democrat nominee will win about half the vote. Every time.
It doesn’t matter what Joe Biden did.
In my opinion. What do you think?

Biden is so sure he’s gonna win, he’s already posed for his official portrait:
My take is Obama never wanted The Big Guy to run for POTUS, not because Biden is old, addled, and a bit of an idiot even without the old addled thing, but rather Obama knows how compromised Joe Biden is in his corruption as VP and because of Biden’s (probably limited) involvement the Obama Admin Russia Gate malfeasance.
I believe some of the inventors had once owned slaves, and will soon will be erased from the historical record in the near future.
The history erasers have indicated a desire to erase the Electoral College as well.
These last few comments are filled with insights. I would use the expression that Trump supporters favor his positions, performance, and view towards America but that his detractors are densely populated by ‘haters’ of the American ideal. The real threat to America is those ‘haters’, many of whom occupy positions of influence in the Democrat Party, and they are allied with the Marxists fomenting all of today’s violence in America and they exercise extensive control over the policies that would be implemented in a Democrat Administration.
And yet Obama promised to be “flexible” with Russia after reelection–and favored other enemies too. Furthermore, Obama was very comfortable in corrupt Chicago politics and became quite wealthy as president.
Obama’s concern would likely be centered around how investigation of Joe would reveal unsavory details about Obama.
Love the portrait Stad. Mebbe there is a new career ahead for you.
They’ll be replaced by the blacks who really invented everything, like the electric light bulb . . .
It’s too bad that we have people on this site who actually voted for Antifa…. I mean BLM….I meant Joe Biden. I thought that this was for knowledgeable conversation?
I think you’re right, but couldn’t help but notice the irony in your headline. Isn’t that what Twitter tried to do? Stop the presses?
Exactly my point.
I know … I Joe Biden’ed your point.
You sniffed its hair? Rubbed its shoulders? What?
Plagiarized it …. then sniffed its hair and rubbed it’s shoulders
Politics is the only career in which the likes of Joe Biden can succeed. Without that, he’d be a cash-strapped lawyer failing to catch the ambulances he was chasing.
Without plagiarism, he probably wouldn’t have been a lawyer.
He’d be an assistant manager at Denny’s*, constantly telling his customers about how he went to law school.
(* My apologies to assistant managers at Denny’s who went to law school.)
If this is just a smear campaign and none of the Biden’s have done any of the things contained in any of these allegations, then we are some really bad people. But as far as I can tell, none of the allegations against Biden’s have been investigated. On the other hand, President Trump and his associates were accused of some bad acts, there was an extensive investigation, and nothing was found. But the accusations against Trump continue unabated. Biden and Trump exist in different worlds.
I envision Biden being a good bartender.
Investigations on the Biden matter are unlikely to happen, mainly due to fear. Trump got impeached for bringing it up.
Nah. Too much math.
And his employer might actually care about him sniffing womens’ hair and stuff. Lawsuits!
Will he sniff and nuzzle lovingly your drink before he hands it to you?
Does he manually massage the mint in my mint julep?
He would never shut up. Bartenders are supposed to listen.
Yeah, he would probably talk about how he went to law school.
They are supposed to appear to be listening.
Is he any good at that?
I’ve never seen it.
