https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/08/22/the-untold-history-of-the-biden-family In 2019, I wrote a piece for this magazine about Hunter Biden, the younger son of the current President, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. Hunter, describing his childhood in Wilmington, Delaware, told me that after church his father would sometimes drive him and his brother, Beau, through wealthy neighborhoods, where they would sneak onto empty estates that were either abandoned or on the market. If the front door was locked, the boys’ father would hoist them through a second-floor window, and they would run downstairs and let him in. If a real-estate agent arrived when they were there, Biden, who at this point was a senator, would charm the agent into giving them a tour. Hunter insisted that he grew up middle class, but his family lived on an estate of their own—a ten-thousand-square-foot mansion with a ballroom. (His father, on a tight budget, would close off large sections with drywall to save on heating costs.) “Even as a kid in high school I’d been seduced by real estate,” Biden wrote in his 2007 memoir, “Promises to Keep.” The fixation seemed anomalous, almost self-defeating, for someone who wanted to be known as Middle-Class Joe. One of Biden’s skills as a politician is his ability to connect with working-class and middle-class Americans. In speeches, he often emphasizes his modest upbringing. “I grew up in a family where, if the price of food went up, you felt it,” he said in his 2022 State of the Union address.“I remember when my dad had to leave our home in Scranton, Pennsylvania, to find work.” And yet the anecdotes I heard about Biden’s father, Joseph Robinette Biden, Sr., told a different story. He was working at a car dealership when his son was elected to the Senate, in 1972, but according to Jimmy Biden, one of the President’s younger brothers, his father’s idea of casual attire was a sport coat and an ascot. Biden, in his memoir, wrote about opening a closet and finding his father’s polo mallet, equestrian boots, riding breeches, and hunting pinks—items that suggested a past life of privilege. It’s nice Hunter was able to break and enter nice neighborhoods with his dad as a kid. I wonder what would happen if they were black doing this. These are the stories the mainstream media need to tell folks about the Bidens. They would lose lots of votes if people only knew how lawbreaking that family always was |

He’s proud of Hunter. He called him the smartest man he knows. Seriously . This is what the anti Trumpers don’t want to face. Trump raised better humans |

If the smartest man you know, is a convicted gun loving felon who has smoked crack for 20 years and both of these men are running the White House, what can you even say?
Nothing I guess. They aren’t Republicans |

Biden isn’t fit to be president by your own standards because he like Kamala was a non threatening dud and clumsy /gaffe machine VP |

| Biden believes in monarchy not democracy. He’s not passing anything down to soul except Hunter. Hunter Biden will be president for term 2 as he helps his incapacitated aged father |

I don’t need to hear about it. I hear about it every day. What I don’t hear is the monarchy Biden is building in office right now . Jill and Hunter are running the show much like Nancy Reagan was the shadow president when Reagan first started showing signs of Alzheimer’s |

The Dems told us Biden was competent, healthy, strong, aware. The dementia stories were fake news coming from the right wing .
Remember how they lied to us for 2 1/2 years or more? He is not well. Who are you going to believe: the news or your eyes? |

He was never meant to be president and when he agreed to the placeholder president while the Dems worked on finding a good candidate, it was only to be for one term. The Dems sat on their hands and couldn't find anyone. So here we are, scrambling to convince everyone that Harris isn't really that bad. |

Most Democrat voters have been concerned about Biden's age for a while. The problem is none of the leadership/advisors was willing to get him to step down so here we are. |
