I’ve known who Joe Biden is since my high school years in the 1980’s.
I have never changed my point of view in regards, to him.
1) He is of low intelligence.
2) He is a deeply loathsome human being of even lower character lacking in even the basics of morality.
He is a shameless liar and always has been.
Examples include saying he was a truck driver, to being raised in a Puerto Rican neighborhood to even more recently claiming his uncle was eaten by cannibals. Even Walter Mitty would be shaking his head
Biden is a man who has lived his entire life on the premise that he could convince 200,000 people to vote for him every six years in a small backwater state on the border of much larger neighbors.
Never once in all of his many years, has he paused to consider whether or not it was ethical for members of his immediate to extended family to make money based on nothing other than sharing his last name.
He has no core beliefs evidenced by the many contradictory positions he has taken in over 50 years of public life.
Like a weathervane, he has always blown in the ever-shifting center of the democratic party, wherever that might be found.
He has never failed to say whatever was politically advantageous at any particular political moment.
in 2008 he was relegated to the sidelines when selected by Obama to run as vice-president. Obama did really want Biden and thought him a fool, but what he wanted even less was Hillary Clinton. He knew Biden could be controlled, sit in a corner with his aides from the Senate and be seen rather than heard.
Now democratic party apparatchiks are bewailing that his disastrous debate performance will send him down a path of devasting defeat but tarnish, (to use a word all the rage in politics) his “LEGACY.”
Biden has no legacy and never has.
He has always been the stupid and goofy best friend within the democratic party. Never the leading man.
But unlike those characters in television and film…he’s never been smart enough to figure that out.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Until next time, be good or be good at it.
