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...

Oh, Bill. Bless your heart.
Who the hell would be fooled by Joe Biden? He is exactly as he seems - a liar.
Follow the $$$. He’s compromised and protecting Hunter and family.
C’mon, Man. Wake up.
Joe Biden has always been a vicious hack, a dunce and an inveterate liar. He’s followed the same basic strategy throughout his career politics: pander to the lunatic base of his party through vicious and dishonest personal attacks against their opponents.
He barely made it through law school, where he finished near the bottom of his class. He’s never held a job outside of politics. His prior runs for the Presidency were rightly treated as a joke and were literally used as fodder for late night comedy.
Joe Biden as always been about image over substance. It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that his Presidency turned out the way it has.
Agreed. I think the usurper accepted the role of scapegoat for everything they have done and continue to do to destroy America. Same goes for the VP.
Joe Biden is a psychopath, on the level of Dahmer, Gacy, Bundy or Ramirez.
In fact, I’d feel cleaner having dinner with any of those four than supping with Biden.
He does what he’s told to do by his handlers.....yes, all his life.
If they want him to tack right, he does so. If they want him to tack left, he does so.
His true core values are irrelevant, if he has any.
Radical or moderate to the left is temperament, not ideology. They all believe in the same crap.
Biden didn’t go far left. He was nominated to stand in as a puppet to be used however the far-left bosses wished.
Biden, as a loyal liberal, went along with the plan.
But, he’s had no say on policies and decisions, and only serves as a mouthpiece for those that are really in charge.
Sorry, but if you were so easily fooled like this, you ARE a fool. There is simply no other explanation, BOR.
Agreed.
“One must never forget that most politicians are not like ordinary people.”
Wealth sovereigns are largely able to shield themselves from the effects of the destruction they inflict on the rest of us.
Which is why they should be prohibited from involvement in government and politics.
Simple, it pays the bills.
My diagnosis of Joe Biden’s sudden lurch to the far left is that Joe pretty much never believed in much at all. He said what he said and did what he did to secure his grip on power. For most of his career, that meant representing himself as a moderate, good old likeable “lunch pail” Joe. Thus, when President Obama needed an alleged moderate grinning white male vice president to reassure the voters about himself, Biden was more than willing to be the useful prop. However, when, as a consequence of the Democrat determination to get rid of their mortal threat, Donald Trump, “by any means necessary,” power brokers in the Democrat party offered Biden a deal — that they would grant his lifelong dream and install him in the presidency by representing him as good old moderate Joe but only on condition that he agree to implement their entire far-left agenda if elected. Biden did not hesitate to agree. He did not think about the country. He thought about his favourite subject matter: Himself. Similarly, when he thought about choosing a running mate, he did not think about the country. He thought about himself and picked a VP candidate based, not on actual ability but upon his agreements with the far-left power-brokers of his Party.
I believe that biden was told that he would be put into the Oval Office on condition that he obey the wishes of the abortionists, marxists, trans, proponents of reparations, BLM, antifa and other leftists, and give them whatever they want.
He willingly complied. He is repaying them big time.
he has always been mean, not too bright and a political tool
The Clarence Thomas hearings revealed all that is necessary to despise Joe Biden.
Turns out that Biden has no ideology or guide. He is a political psychopath and a political sociopath.

All of the above.
