When your father is a blue collar worker a newspaper doesn’t describe his pitfalls in life as “business reversals.” You don’t go sailing on yachts at any time in your life, especially in the economically stratified early 20th Century, if you’re a blue collar worker. His Dad was obviously a blue blood from a wealthy family who lost his standing in society because of alcohol abuse, but even with his alcoholic history he was able to have a job as a sales manager at a car dealership. My point is is that he trumpets his “blue collar” upbringing, but I don’t know many blue collar Dad’s who go yachting or are auto dealership sales managers. |

Would you agree that someone who cleans boilers is blue collar? |

Is that your argument against Biden - that he didn't grow up poor? I think there are plenty of ways to attack him but that one probably isn't a winner. He's just been around too long for that sort of thing.
We aren't trying to figure out WHO is this new guy on the scene and is he who he says he is - Biden has a record going back decades. Don't be so lazy in your attacks, if you're trying to undermine him. Come on. It just makes you look bad. |

| I wonder if the media will look into the whole Ukraine thing and his involvement in having a prosecutor fired who was investigating a firm his son has ties to............. |

see there you go - try harder. conspiracies! the media! "the whole ukraine thing" - much better stuff than going after him for not being poor. |

Probably they will. Even the pro-Dem NYT is not about hiding some news when they can help sell papers and get clicks... |

How do you know about this if the media hasn’t looked into it? And if they actually have, care to link something? |

Didn't you hear the part that his father is a "failed capitalist"? A failed capitalist is very much middle class and Biden certainly didn't grow up rich even if his father had for a brief time enjoyed success. |

Biden's father used to go yachting before drinking himself into a sales manager position at a car dealership and then all the way to cleaning boilers. His Dad was a upper-crust drunk who drank his way down the socioeconomic ladder. He might have "cleaned boilers" for a brief time but when you're dad is the sales manager at an auto dealership and used to go yachting you are not some "working class," "blue collar," "average Joe." My point is not that his background disqualifies him and I need someone who has an authentic working class background to vote for, but that one of his selling points that he constantly makes is how he had such a salt-of-the-earth working class background. Biden always struck me as a smarmy, insincere fraud who's gained a lot from this "white working class" act that he puts on, which is a bunch of BS. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie, to name a few, actually had working class backgrounds and they come through as authentic when they talk of it. |

| Biden will be through when the lying media realize they have to report on his kids million dollar sweetheart Ukraine business deals while dad looked the other way as russia interfered in our electoral process. Nobody will be able to help him. |

Well, well. What do you know? The NY Times finally picked up the story. Of course, in true NYTimes fashion, they blame Trump for bringing up the story. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/politics/biden-son-ukraine.html |

Lol. In May of 2019 the NYT runs this story. How courageous. What groundbreaking journalism. |

Threads colliding. This is why Barr was not willing to say whether someone in the White House suggested that he start an investigation? |
