Joe Biden, future Presidential nominee?

Submitted by Snode on Thu, 01/24/2019 - 7:16am

This is more of a FYI. I might have missed it if it was discussed already, if so I apologize.

I don't have much to add. We pretty much know most politicians are "sell outs". This article in the times outlines how Joe Biden, for a nominal sum, went to bat for a republican candidate, and refused to endorse the democrat.

I didn't follow the democratic campaign, but doubt the candidate had any higher morals than Biden, but it's an interesting article. Also begs the question of what has the Times got against old smilin' Joe? It would be helpful if every candidate had their speech venues and prices as part of their resume, so we know who they really fight for. If we have to hold our nose to vote, I want to know what stinks worse.

It’s HIS turn.

(Assuming it’s not still HER turn. Hard to keep track of these things.)

@Tall Bald and Ugly I was going to steal from, but figured I'd get caught out. Great film, but I don't think it would have gotten past the Diversity Board today.

They need a TOKEN to run.

Someone like Kamala Harris who has a track record of selling out her own people to incarcerate at record rates and use them as free (ie Slave Labor), protecting white collar criminals, supporting Wall Street over main street and more 3rd way crap!

They can't shame people with Biden, but will use identity politics to shame people not voting for Kamala Harris!
