Bill O’Reilly has reached a conclusion that has probably occurred to many people recently, namely that although Joe Biden always represented himself as a moderate regular guy with blue-collar sensibilities from Scranton, he “fooled a lot of folks, including me.” For, O’Reilly observes, Biden has recently been full of praise for extremists, saying that he agrees with everything Rep. Maxine Waters says, which includes, after the George Floyd killing, justifying violence and praising “one of the biggest haters on television,” Joy Behar.
Although I certainly understand O’Reilly’s reasoning, I must disagree. My view is that the situation is far worse than he envisages. O’Reilly’s mistake is that he is attempting to understand Joe Biden as if he is a normal person pretty much like the rest of us. The reasoning goes like this: If an ordinary person like the rest of us were to do a sudden political about-face like Biden has done, it would probably be because he had been fooling people all along and is finally showing his true face.
This is, however, a mistake. One must never forget that most politicians are not like ordinary people. Most of us are such that if we told a big public lie, for example, that we had finished in the top half our law school class when we had actually finished in bottom 11% of the class, or that we had been arrested protesting for civil rights with Nelson Mandela when we had not, or that Mitt Romney had not paid any taxes for the past decade when we knew he paid taxes, or that one’s political opponent had colluded with Russia in order to steal the 2016 presidential election when we knew that is false, or say under oath that the southern border is secure...

Dennis Kucinich who was pro-life for decades but then when he decided to make a long shot attempt at president he suddenly became pro-choice?
Like the bully LBJ.
That explains a lot.
Biden never had any ideology. He had a method which has always been to sell his political position to the highest bidder regardless of ideology. He’s a small-time crook who discovered a way into big-time elected positions.
Biden “fooled a lot of folks, including me.” O’Reilly observes. What are you saying, Bill? LOL
Seriously. Anyone with half a brain could always tell that Joe was dishonest and stupid. Ask Clarence Thomas or Robert Bork (rip) how nice lunchbucket Joe is.
He’s a very good puppet for the Deep state as they are the ones that installed Joe. He has done a good job for them
Yes I remember that. And I remember how the media celebrated gay marriage week for Obama. I’ve seldom seen the media celebrate a decision by an American president as much as the media did that week
Bingo!
And the world-class Team's power over Biden is that they guaranteed him and his family absolute immunity or protection in whatever criminal money-making actions he wished to pursue.
All they had to do is point out they held most of the agencies and institutions that might harm him.
He also is much easier to control than Kamala.
Once again, apparently NOT PAYING ATTENTION.
For years I have been telling people to stop listening to what the politicos say and watch what they are doing.
This is apparently too hard.
I don’t think Biden is even aware of what he is doing. He just has acquired the habit from 50 years in politics of saying whatever his staff tell him to say. He was always an idiot and basically a factotum for whatever oligarchs put him in power. Nothing different about that now, just that it’s the Presidency and his senility is now publicly visible.
He didn’t go anywhere. He is just reading a teleprompter and going where they tell him to go.
Whomever pays the piper Presidementia, calls the tune. He also taught his crackhead son well!
This most accurately sums it up.
Biden, like Bill Clinton, doesn't really have a core belief system beyond doing what's best for Joe Biden. He'll say and do whatever garners him the most power and money at the time. At the present time his path to greater power and wealth lies in tacking far left because that's what plays to his base and pleases his political overlords. He'd be to the right of Marjorie Taylor Greene tomorrow if it served his purposes. The guy's a snake, he doesn't believe in anything other than what he can grab for himself and his family of half-witted derelicts..
Then you see some cockamamie executive order come out of Washington. Does anyone think it came from Biden?
No! Obama is pulling Biden’s string.
Biden is an extreme case of entrenched power-mongering who has been at it and nothing else all his adult life. To speak to such an individual of The Truth is to receive a blank stare in return: for them no such thing exists, only expediency. He's hardly the only one - look, for example, at Beta O'Rourke's laughable vacillation on the gun control issue or Kamala Harris's law and order posturing with respect to everything but genuine law and order. It is worse than nihilism; a nihilist believes in nothing, they believe in power to the point of worship. Nor is that an individual failing - every congressional staffer I've ever met, and that's a few, are junior versions of senior exemplars. It's systemic at this point.
This has been a feature of leftwing politics in particular for a very long time. Truth is what serves the Party, nothing more. Truth is whatever serves the inevitable progress of history. Truth is bendable in favor of the Greater Good. This, heaven help us, is categorized as idealism, but there is no real ideal behind it but power.
joe biden—beginning in at least the 1990s—was a MONSTROUS Serb-hater!!!! So was his so-called “good” son Beau!!!!
With that sort of mentality, it was very easy for him to go far left!! Then add his dementia, which makes him a puppet for whoever is “behind” him!!!!
Like BJ Clinton in 1992, Xiden was in the right place at the right time. Perot won it for Clinton. For Xiden, the puppet masters knew that Trump was going to thump them big time. Xiden, friend of Pence, Collins, Burr, Graham, Mitch and Romney, was their go to Trojan horse to make the fraud and rigging have a chance of being overlooked. None of the other clowns on that stage could have done it without the help of the media, the FIB, big tech, etc.
In Massachusetts, the ‘Kennedy mystique’ was established with the JFK assassination. After RFK was killed, Teddy received a free pass for life. It is irrational. He was a louse at home, a drunkard, he killed that girl and walked away from it scott free. Even his asshole son Patrick got away with stuff that is impossible for most others. The Kennedys always walk around these parts. The most amazing thing that I have seen in my lifetime was the latest Kennedy actually losing a Senate Seat to a freaking idiot such as Ed Markey, who does not even reside in the state he ‘represents.’ To me none of this stuff makes sense.
I cannot understand what magic the Bidens used in Delaware, but I will always avoid that place. Send them some ‘Illegals.’
