Joe Biden, Closet Republican
The New York Times ^ | July 9, 2019 | Frank Bruni

Posted on 07/10/2019 2:09:15 PM PDT by Trump20162020

He’s the liberal Bob Dole, the looser Mitt Romney, the supposedly safe bet who’s owed a shot.

It didn’t come to me right away, but finally I recognized the model for Joe Biden’s unusual campaign, the former president whose pitch Biden’s most closely resembles:

George W. Bush.

I’m referring to Bush’s first presidential bid, in 2000, which is remembered mostly for its surreal climax: the seesawing returns on election night, the Florida recount, the Supreme Court ruling that effectively decided the contest in his favor. To the limited extent that political junkies recall his slogans and stump speeches, the phrase “compassionate conservative” comes quickest to mind.

I saw that. But was it really incorrect?

I know it was correct as spelled. I just wanted to point out that Romney is also a loser.

From The Daily Caller, May 5, 2019

* Hunter Biden was appointed to the board of directors of a Ukranian company [Burisma] as part of an effort to recruit well-connected Americans while the company was under investigation, according to The New York Times.

* Then-Vice President Joe Biden played a role in pressuring Ukraine to oust the country’s top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, who was investigating the company, Burisma.

* Shokin’s successor initially ended the investigation into Burisma, but decided in March 2019 to reopen it.

Burisma is a natural gas exploration and production company owned by Mykola Zlochevsky, a cabinet member of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich. [Viktor Yanukovich was Putin’s stooge in the Ukraine -ETL].

Yanukovich was removed from his position in February 2014.

He [Yanukovich] currently lives in exile in Russia and is wanted by Ukraine for high treason.

Zlochevsky later fled the country in late-2014 as Ukrainian prosecutors launched investigations into his time in public office as well as his private businesses.”

SEAN HANNITY: "Joe Biden literally leveraged a billion taxpayer dollars, demanding in six hours, that a prosecutor investigating his own son gets fired as a result of his connections to this energy company.

Here’s the tape.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BIDEN: We’re not going to give you the billion dollars.

They said, you’ve got no authority.

You’re not the president.

The president — I said, call him.

I said I’m telling you.

You are not getting a billion dollars.

I said, you are not getting the billion.

I’m going to be leaving here, I think it was six hours.

Look, I said [I'm] leaving [in] six hours, if the prosecutor is not fired, you are not getting the money.

Well, son of a (EXPLETIVE DELETED), he got fired.

All right. Busy news night. We continue.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

“Joe Biden, Closet Republican”

Wow! The Slimes is REALLY playing dirty: calling the one semi-sane Dem candidate a Republican ... the left REALLY does not want Bidn as their nominee ...

Biden is the Trojan Horse candidate. If elected President, he will be a mere figurehead. His handlers would run the WH. He could conceivably resign a few years into his term and the VP take over. We should look closely at the VP nominee.

True that; and it would not have been necessary, if the Florida State Supreme Court hadn’t decided to legislate from the bench and tried to throw the election to Al Bore.

Joe Biden Exposed Himself to Female Secret Service Agents

John Nolte | April 2, 2019
-snip-
One agent told Kessler, “Biden likes to be revered as everyday Joe, and that’s his thing.

But the reality is no agents want to go on his detail because Biden makes agents’ lives so tough.”

Kessler elaborated further in a television interview.

“Biden likes to swim nude both at his Vice President’s residence in Washington and also at his home in Wilmington which he goes back to several times a week … and this offends female Secret Service agents,” he told Fox News’s Sean Hannity.

“They signed up to take a bullet for the President as you said but they didn’t sign up to — they certainly didn’t sign up to see Biden naked. It is offensive, it’s abusive.”

Who would do such a thing?

This is like hiring a maid and walking around the house nude because that’s what you did before you hired the maid. ...”

Biden Swims Naked, Upsetting Female Secret Service Agents, Book Claims

By Steven Nelson, Staff Writer 
Aug. 1, 2014

Vice President Joe Biden enjoys swimming without a bathing suit, a new book claims.

Biden, who’s flirting with a run for president in 2016, gives Secret Service agents an eyeful both at his Delaware home and at the vice president’s official residence in Washington, D.C., according to “The First Family Detail” by Ronald Kessler.

The book relies on named and unnamed sources to describe life guarding prominent politicians including Biden, former President Ronald Reagan, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama.

“Agents say that, whether at the vice president’s residence or at his home in Delaware, Biden has a habit of swimming in his pool nude,” Kessler writes in the book – due for release Aug. 5.

“Female Secret Service agents find that offensive,” he writes. ..."

Just alluding to my suspicion that what we don’t see out in the open is probably a lot worse.

Bruni is one of those journalists whose byline alone should set off one’s BS detector.

The exact sort of Left-wing scum that has killed the newspaper business.

Having devoted 25 years to community journalism, I take Left-wing news fakers seriously. Real seriously — like wishing Frank Bruni might have a “terrible accident.”

Maybe this was a back handed compliment to Mittens by implying he was “tight”.
