Joe Biden, historic figure edition

Joe Biden's reputation is in tatters, thanks in large part to his dishonesty. Early in his political career, he was known for his plagiarizing of Neal Kinnock's speech. That knocked him out of the 1988 Democrat presidential race. Throughout the years, he's been so dishonest that the media that's protected him the last 4 years have called him gaffe prone. Actually, he's just been a corrupt lying SOB.

Now onto Mr. Baker's brilliant article. Mr. Baker opens his article by saying "It turns out we didn’t have to wait until Jan. 20 for the tyranny to start. The Democrats were right all along when they warned that a bad outcome would give us a president ready to abuse power to serve his own interests and lie about it. But it’s Joe Biden leading the way."

Democrats aren't about preserving democracy. They're about gaining power, then maintaining power. Joe Biden has been about corruption since his early days in the Senate. He's used his position on influewntial committees to enhance his financial position.

He's also used that position to become an historic figure. Joe was the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee for Clarence Thomas's confirmation hearings. Those hearing will forever be famous for this:

For one thing, it pre-emptively collapses expected Democratic criticisms of Mr. Trump’s behavior when he returns to office next month. Accusations that Mr. Trump abuses his office to help friends and family will ring even more hollow after Biden Jr. has been relieved of any accountability for his crimes.

For another, it erases any vestige of trust Americans may have had in their outgoing president. He and his aides repeatedly insisted—during an election campaign—that he wouldn’t pardon his son. That he then went and did it after the election raises political cynicism to a new level.

The larger problem, though, is that the Hunter pardon reinforces the case that the Democrats, for all their claims about the unique threat Trumpism poses to American democracy, have no more respect for basic democratic principles than Mr. Trump does.

They have spent four years in a prosecutorial pursuit of Mr. Trump, much of which was a nakedly political lawfare campaign to undermine and ultimately lock up their political opponent. The Hunter pardon represents something like the inverse of lawfare: the use of executive power to shield the Democrats’ favorites from the reach of justice, thereby upholding the worst sort of double standard and undermining respect for the rule of law itself.

During his attack against President-Elect Trump, Joe Biden repeatedly insisted that 'no one's above the law.' Apparently, he meant that nobody's above the law ... except if they're last name is Biden. Then they're protected from the law. How convenient. It's' time to admit, as a society, that the Biden family is exceptionally dishonest and corrupt. It's just a matter of time until Joe pardons his brothers. They're just as big of dirtbags as Joe is. They just didn't have the high profile that Joe had.

Jimmy Carter was a presidential disgrace who turned his reputation around by his post-presidency through his work with Habitat for Humanity.

Joe Biden's brain is mush. There won't be another act to Joe Biden's tragic saga. History won't treat Joe kindly. He'll forever be known as the chairman who led the high-tech lynching of Clarence Thomas, one of the greatest Supreme Court justices ever. He'll forever be known as the man who pardoned his entire corrupt family. Now that's a legacy.
