Of Course Public Offices Are for Sale

Only a national government as universally corrupt as ours could feign ignorance about the Biden Crime Family's sordid history.

Joe Biden's corruption is outdone only by the mainstream media's commitment to hide it from the public. Why propagandists posing as journalists would feel the need to continue covering for China Joe and his quid-pro-quo mafia family is a mystery (although reporters are so addicted to censoring truth and spreading disinformation that they probably don't know how to behave differently). To be sure, the public has known about the Biden Crime Family's notorious racketeering activities for decades.

When a lifetime politician supposedly living on a "public servant's" salary becomes filthy rich, no thinking person has difficulty understanding that corruption is somehow involved. In Joe's case, the corruption is remarkable, perhaps, because it has always been so brazen. He has not simply become wealthy by using insider knowledge from closed-door committee hearings to effect profitable trades on the stock market (the standard form of corruption endemic in D.C.); instead, he sends family members all over the world to collect checks from foreign companies and hostile countries in return for his continued patronage within the halls of the federal government.

No doubt many venal American politicians play the same shady game (after all, there sure are a lot of Congress-critters who enter office destitute and exit office as millionaires), but the Biden Crime Family's particular brand of in-your-face extortion really takes the cake. When his crackhead son Hunter is awarded a lucrative seat on a corporate board in Ukraine or receives hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Chinese Communist Party, it is not because he is an expert in paying for sex, drugs, and other shameful degradations. It is because he has been taught how to collect bribes from foreign foes

And the people being persecuted are the ones trying to stop the corruption.

There is a scene is an old movie about Cromwell (Richard Harris) in which Cromwell points his finger a member of Parliament and says, “You have enriched yourself through your office, Sir!”

And the Parliamentarian looks startled and says, “Why, of course! Why else would I be in politics?”

The Biden Crime Family is not even in it for ideological reasons. They readily switch their “belief system” to whichever serves their purposes of the moment. It is the money alone that comes along with a total lack of morality.

The Kennedy family differed in that their wealth was accrued through bootlegging, not politics, and Joe the Senior moved into politics once the wealth was built up. The Kennedys could afford to keep an ideology they already had developed, but since they were essentially outsiders, the Deep State that existed then had to wipe them out once they got into positions of leadership. JFK and RFK Senior were both assassinated under circumstances never fully revealed.

Perhaps the same implicit threat is hanging over RFK Junior, which is part of the reason his campaign is still running in the shadows.

No one dependent on a government check will ever care about government corruption. Between SS, food stamps, welfare, unemployment, free student loans……etc, etc, etc…….theses recipients will vote for the criminals over and over as long as the checks keep coming.

He who robs Peter to pay Paul can always count on Paul’s support.

>>>there sure are a lot of Congress-critters who enter office destitute and exit office as millionaires)<<<

First name that popped into my head when reading that line was: OBAMA. Went into office with nothing, left office a multi, multi millionaire. And I guarantee it WAS NOT from the sale of his books.

Wow! JB Shurk wrote a piece as if he gathered the information right out of my head. He even uses the term “Congress critters” like I frequently do.

It’s nice to read something that reflects my disdain for our government.

”He even uses the term “Congress critters” like I frequently do.”

That’s a good one, but, I’m afraid, far tamer than the odious appellation that they actually deserve…

Just imagine what Cankle’s emails contained.

The Biden Crime Family’s particular brand of in-your-face extortion really takes the cake.

Crackhead son Hunter gets a lucrative seat on a corporate board in Ukraine
and pockets tens of millions of dollars from the Chinese Communist Party.

Hunter wasnt hired b/c of his practiced expertise in whoring, drug use, and other obscene
failings. It is because he has been taught how to collect bribes from foreign foes.

Now you know why the congresscritters. Flock to the foreign visits.

The "loving" tight knit Bidens keep it all in the family.
Biden niece, an Obama employee, gets sensitive US govt information to peddle.
She is now a Starbuck’s VP according to Linked in.

Biden’s niece Casey Owens - his sister’s child - aided and abetted Hunter’s influence peddling schemes which benefitted the Biden family’s wealth accumulation.

Casey Owens official US govt trip to China was with Obama’s US Treasury delegation, “The US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue team,” led by then-Treasury Secy Timothy Geithner.

During the visit, Owens was privy to sensitive US govt information WRT China’s multi billion dollar sovereign wealth fund. Owens passed on the info to the opportunistic Hunter as a possible investment contact who soon followed up.

It sure is good that we have a system of checks and balances in place in this government to prevent this kind of abuse of power! Isn’t it?

Politicians at all levels are for sale. Give them enough in bribes, I mean “donations”, and they’ll pass any law you want.

One example of an “etc,” is the massive fraud of collecting Disability payments from the government and not having a disability. Living a normal life, playing with children, golf, tennis and actively working are not the ways of a disabled person.
The Doctors who aid and abet these cheats should be prosecuted with the cheats.

“You could buy your candidates. First, there is the senators. These guys are f***ing cheap. Got 10 grand? You can buy a senator. I’ll give you 500k right now. It doesn’t matter who wins, they’re in my pocket,”
