Biden has nothing to run on except a disgusting record of spending money that is not his own and grifting off the same.

These life time politicians are a most disgusting people.

They make stuff up because they have nothing real to offer except other peoples money.

“such as eating a deceased relative’s body to prevent it from decomposing.”
I’ll pass. Cremation works just fine.

A story from Herodotus repeating on Free Republic:

"When Darius was king [of Persia], he summoned the Greeks who were at his court and asked them how much money it would take to get them to eat the bodies of their deceased fathers. They replied that nothing would make them do so."

"Darius then summoned some Indians, called Kallatiai, whose custom it is to eat their dead parents, and asked them—in the presence of the Greeks, who had an interpreter to explain the Kallatiai’s words—how much money it would take to convince them to cremate their deceased fathers [as was the Greek custom]."

"The Kallatiai exclaimed that he should not even mention such an abomination. Custom dictates such things, and it seems to me that [the poet] Pindar got it quite right when he said that custom is king.

– Herodotus, Histories 3.38

In any event, 2LT Finnegan would have been fine. Cannibals know that if you put an Irishman in the cauldron, he eats all the potatoes while the water is heating up.

Joe is simply reaching out to expand his voter base……he has LGBQT, Blacks, Union workers, drug dealers, women’s rights, BLM, illegals, why not pick up the CANNIBAL crowd.

Papua New Guinea has a literacy rate of 64% and is 95% Christian. Before independence it was governed by Australia. (The western half of the island is still occupied by Indonesia, which never allowed the native population to determine its own future.) PNG has 9.5 million people. I can believe that they have enough well-educated people to run a university.

The Democrats need to send a team to New Guinea to find some local who can vouch that his grandfather told him about eating some white men in WWII after their plane crashed.

Better chance of verifying that story that Biden's story about Corn Pop.
