“Asked by Robach what his qualifications for the job were, Biden said, “Well, I was vice chairman of the board of Amtrak for five years.”
The way I read it, Amtrak was (is?) perpetually in the red. Biden brought the clout to get the bucks. That is all he has ever done aside from his debauchery. In a bit of sympathy, I believe he has had a very sad, miserable life and if he told his true story, The Big Guy would be at the root of his destructive choices.
Wonder if the big guy got 10% during his son’s Amtrak years?
“Amtrak Joe” has long had a personal 1:1 scale toy train set, and some of the craft labor unions have given him big help (votes, money, muscle) over the years. But here is the thing: you think there is easy money that can stick to a person’s hands when it goes to defense contracts? Well, that trick was old hat to railroading before the “last spike” was daintily tapped by a guy in a good suit at Promontory. Amtrak Joe wouldn’t know a magnet valve from a compromise bar, but he has made it clear that all (rail) roads lead to Bidenville. Crack Boy getting put on the Amtrak board was slam-dunk nepotism and a great way for the Biden Family to manage their little “transportation consulting” business.
Yes, in a way, I feel sorry for Hunter, but he is a grown man now, so he needs to take responsibility for his own actions.
