Biden calls for ‘sweeping new push’ on exposing and punishing corruption -- with a glaring omission
American Thinker ^ | 8 Dec, 2021 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 12/08/2021 5:18:00 AM PST by MtnClimber

And the Washington Post doesn't raise an eyebrow.

With a deadpan face, the Washington Post informs us:

Biden calls for sweeping new push to expose and punish financial corruption The administration said it would work with Congress to bring more scrutiny to trust companies, lawyers and other financial gatekeepers, seek to identify owners “hiding behind opaque” corporations and target those involved in real estate transactions used to hide or launder money.

Notice how Biden says absolutely nothing about corruption among government officials?

Or their families.

And the WaPo raises not an eyebrow. The purported newspaper of record in the seat of the federal government.

They'll start with Hunter Biden's laptop and the White House coordinating the messaging of the press.

WaPo is just a compliant government mouthpiece. It’s like TASS.

He says this while taking 10% off the top of all of Hunter’s business dealings.

Communist Puppet Biden is an utterly repulsive figure in American politics.

The Vidkun Quisling of our times. May he suffer the same fate.

Solid proof once again. Bidung is not there to govern or to guard American values and our global status. He’s there for one reason.....to facilitate deals for the Biden Crime Family by selling our safety and security to the highest bidder.

“Hi there Vlad, ol’ buddy, ol’ pal. My son, the painter, will be calling you soon about that oil deal. Now Ill unmute my phone so we can get this frickin' diplomatic nonsense out of the way.”

The Left attacks others with accusations of what the Left is guilty of. They do this when they feel threatened or simply whenever. Obama was a master of this. Just like they'll scream racism anytime they don't get what they want. Never forget this.

This is a notice to all large corporations that the government shakedowns are coming. Especially those who aren’t woke enough. And can we quit pretending any of these proclamations are actually coming from Slow Joey Plugs? What a farce.

This latest from Bidung is typical con artist stuff.

These shakedown artists always announce their intentions.

They assume the rest of us just fell off a turnip truck.

Resident Biden says w/ a straight face: “I’m proud to say that the typical American family has more money
in their pockets than they did last year, or the year before that, thanks to my American Rescue Plan......”

TRANSLATION......he means The Biden Crime Family got richer... thanks to his American Rescue Plan which picks the pockets of struggling taxpayers.......

Joe Biden calculatedly forces Americans to struggle to put food on the table, heat their homes and keep a job so that the Bidens can live in luxury.

Joe Biden, his son Hunter, were all too willing to aid and abet China.......when the checks cleared.

Daily mail.com

Revealed: Hunter Biden raked in $6M in just nine months from Chinese business dealings - and that doesn’t include the 2.8 carat-diamond he got as a gift

Hunter Biden raked in $6m over nine months from his Chinese business dealings according to a timeline of his affairs which goes into unprecedented detail.

Joe Biden’s son was involved with a series of transactions which were flagged for ‘potential financial criminal activity’, a Senate report has revealed.

The money included a $5m payment from a Chinese energy company with ties to the Communist party and $1m for work with an associate who was later jailed for bribery.

The payments began days after Hunter sent his infamous email to one associate in 2017 talking about money for ‘the big guy’ and deals for ‘me and my family’.

That Joe Biden hasn’t come close to fulfilling any campaign promises, or even that promises were made, at all, is a testament to what he was willing to do to get the job. Just imagine what he’s willing to do to keep it. Even scarier, just imagine how much worse things could be, as he works to do just that.

Biden is a practiced political suckup......obeying the Dem PTB to a fault.

Pretending to be “morally opposed” to abortion, he’s given the blood-thirsty abortion worshippers everything they wanted. Heck, he’d let drJill perform abortions in the White House if that’s what the Dem fringe demanded.

With no moral code, no center, nothing matters. All he has to do is do what he’s told. His handlers and the media take care of the rest.

Bidung knows the drill well:
<><> just read what’s in the teleprompter
<><> disappear by 7:00 PM to count your holdings. And add in today’s take
<><> give your degenerate son govt aircraft, S/S detail.
<><> the crackhead son collects piles of cash for you and the Biden Crime Family
<><> selling out taxpayers safety and security is how its done.

Is this ‘in your face’ we can say or do anything?
These knobs can not believe this?

The Diaper Wearing POTUS who poops in his pants in front of Camilla the future Queen of England should not be lecturing Americans that Corruption is taking place.

Americans of all races are saying what nerve this Dementia Diaper wearing POTUS should say this when his own son Hunter Biden has been involved and has gotten a bunch $$$ under the table with his deals.

Americans are P.O.ed at this Diaper Wearing POTUS who apparently or conveniently did not tell the reporters he has had at least 3 and probably more bleeding Aneurysms in his brain.

Do Americans even know what is involved in one (1) Aneurysm??? We do know now!!!

Partner, you are 100% correct in the Diaper Wearing Dementia POTUS itinerary for the day and every day since he stole the presidential election of 2020.

We have had Carter the worst as POTUS and for the first time I voted for Reagan in 1980 plus I have not regretted my vote ever since.

The DemonRat party has got "The Dawg" as POTUS and I voted for the Republican. We got "Obama" the liar since we got a big "0" jobs for spending and the $1 Trillion dollars was spent on Democratic supporters of the party.

BTW, how is that 2nd part of this spending bill going with the DemonRat party.

We think that they should not spend another dime period.

The Left will not go unpunished for trying to accuse others of criminal activity that they may be guilty of themselves. This hypocrisy is some of the very worst example of criminality and, rest assured, it will not go unpunished. We may not see the punishment in our time on earth and as well the evildoer may not,but be assured that God does not forget. See Romans 12:19
