Biden was not an “idiot” in the context you said, he knew what he was doing. He was an opportunist and a criminal.
Since the late 70s, we have been negotiating with the Chicoms. We have obviously not been negotiating very well, hence the present push for trade fairness. Was this due to negotiator corruption, i.e. foreign money buying influence for a sub-optimal deal from the US perspective?
Rush Limbaugh, and many other establishment media types have pointed out they all operate in this fashion.
Let the chips fall where they may; this type of corruption must be exposed and punished.
You are correct. I was speaking ‘politically’. Biden is an amoral twit, politically-speaking. He does have a nose for making a few extra million via extortion. He learned that from observing the Clintons at close-range.
