Apparently it's real. As I keep saying: the next few months are going to be interesting!

I've mentioned here a couple of times my long-standing antipathy towards Joe Biden going back to my time in the mid-80s living in DC and watching him in his role a Senator from Delaware.
Now that he seems to finally be about to rid the country of the long national nightmare that has been his prominent position as an elected member of the Democrat Party, I want to summarize in bullet point fashion what his 6 decades DC have represented:
1. He a despicable human being. He has exploited the accident that claimed the life of his first wife and daughter, falsely attributing fault to the truck driver she collided with.
2. At the age of 35 he marries Jill, 26 at the time. But Jill was first married in 1970, and Jill and her husband worked on his 1972 Senate campaign. After Joe's first wife was killed, the 21 year old Jill started helping babysit Joe's sons Beau and Hunter. They have both lied through the years about having first met on a blind date after her first marriage ended, but that has always been BS to help keep the real story covered up. The 31 year old Joe started an affair with a 22 year old who was then married. 31 year old Joe had the hots for the babysitter barely out of her teens.
3. With the exception of Beau, his children are trainwrecks. Hunter starts an affair with Beau's grieving widow and turns her into a crack addict like he was.
4. Joe gets nicknamed "Senator MBNA" -- a "bank" that is really just a credit card issuer based on Delaware, part of an industry he could never find it within himself to say "No" as long as the campaign funds kept coming. Did I mention that Hunter's first job out of law school was as a "Vice President" at MBNA? Cashing in on the power of his elected office was never a problem -- it has been a Biden family vocation/tradition for 50 years. He sees NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.
5. He has ALWAYS been a liar, braggart, and blowhard who is the central actor in the fantasy life he has fashioned for himself in his brain. He is the walking embodiment of the "Walter Mitty" complex. This was made plain by the story just published last week where he lionized himself as the "most influential" politician in the world -- "Ask anyone!!!" -- who had put NATO back together, blah blah blah. Yet US citizens remain as hostages held in Gaza and he never mentions their existence.
6. He was DONE with politics after being a distant also ran for the Dem. nomination of POTUS in 2008 -- his third try. After 36 years in DC, he polled at less than 5% nationally. He withdrew after receiving less than 1% of the vote in Iowa. Some guys never take the hint.
That should have been it for him. But Obama wanted a VP who did not have the initials HRC. Biden had the attractive quality of being someone they could park in the corner and tell him to be quiet. That is the ONLY reason at 81 years old we've been consumed by the drama of "Will he or won't he" in the 2024 race.
The two epitafhs he deserves to have on his headstone are:
1. Robert Gates writing in his book that Biden had been "Wrong on nearly every major issue" involving foreign policy for 40 years.
2. Obama's comment "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to fook things up."
In my lifetime he has been the single worst politician in the country -- both as a person and on issues of consequence.
Good riddance Joe Biden.
Ian@HbbkkUk · 1h Forgot to mention his high-tech lynching of Clarence Thomas. But then, there's so many other things you could have mentioned that X might have gone blue screen before you finished.
KK Berd 🇺🇸@keny_berd · 43m I agree. Good riddance Joe Biden.
KK Berd 🇺🇸@keny_berd · May 19 I have zero sympathy for Joe Biden
How do you lose a wife, a child, and have two injured small children and go on to with your thirst for political power? Throughout his whole career he used their deaths and Beau’s death to garner sympathy and portray fake empathy.
Not to mention, he showered w his young daughter and all the other horrible things he’s done.
IMO, he’s a really bad man.
“Joseph R. Biden Jr., whose wife and infant daughter were killed in an automobile accident last month, will be sworn in Friday as a United State Senator from Delaware at a Wilmington hospital where his two sons are recovering from injuries suffered in the crash.” x.com/mirandadevine/…
Cliff Snyder@sylvester204 · 1h Plus, the lawfare that landed Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon in federal custody, the over-charging of the January 6 defendants, and the federal prosecutions of Trump in Florida and DC. All despicable. #purplepol Following Trend @FollowingTrend · 1h I first met Biden back in the 80s when he didn't have hair, had bags under his eyes and crooked teeth. He was unimpressive even when he had all his marbles. I knew him because he was close with a mafia controlled union where I worked (and where I kept my mouth and eyes shut). CappyAmerica 🇮🇱 @safisoft · 1h Well said. Joe Biden is a despicable human being. Good riddance. Stoaty Weasel @sweasel · 51m Yes. Also short-tempered and nasty. I've been watching him since the Thomas hearings. Carl Peterson @dcw244 · 59m I find this to be actually rather kind to him. There's of course so much more Flint Michigana @Muh8675309 · 22m Ope, you dropped this.
