Ticking gets louder on Joe Biden’s corruption time bomb
American Thinker ^ | 06/20/2019 | Thomas Lifson

People who think Joe Biden is the most likely contender to win the Democrats’ presidential nomination must believe that the mainstream media will remain silent about the way his son Hunter scored lucrative business deals with foreign governments after accompanying his dad on overseas missions during his vice presidency. (They also must believe that his stupid gaffes will somehow end, but that’s a separate issue.)

But as I predicted more than a month ago, neither of these is going to happen.

ABC News is pressing the issue of Hunter Biden’s remarkable luck with foreign governments.

Smell something bad? (ABC News screen grab)

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden declined to answer questions on the campaign trail this week about his son's overseas business dealings in countries where the then-vice president was conducting diplomatic work, an issue his political opponents have already begun to wield against him as he wades into the 2020 presidential campaign.

More than once, after his father engaged in diplomacy on behalf of the United States in foreign countries, Hunter Biden conducted business in the same country. At two separate campaign stops on Monday, Biden avoided questions about his son while his staff blocked reporters from approaching the candidate.

Uh oh it’s ABC and not just the conservative echo chamber. If the compromised media have picked up on this story, the deep state is in the process of ejecting Creepy Uncle Joe from the candidate pool.

Biden is covered under the Kenyanesian Usurpation umbrella of protection.

All other issues aside, Biden has been there for 50 years. He is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

I wonder of Hunter Biden and Justin Amash have some sort of relationship?

Biden’s image, like most Democrats is all smoke and mirrors. Without a compliant media he has no path to the presidency. There are too many in the media who will accept no one other than someone from a “protected class”. The only white male that they will accept this time around is a homosexual like Peter Buttkiss. If Biden wants to get in their favor he’s going to have to start wearing women’s clothing or come out of the closet in some other way. Pandering to the global warmists isn’t going to be enough.

They are ineptly attempting to elevate Biden to king maker and have him support Warren for the nomination. Probably a quid pro quo for Hunter not being investigated.

Rank-and-file mainstream Journ-O-Lists these days are Marxist true-believers. They view it as part of their mission to take out old-school corporate guys like Biden
and make their party more authentically Socialist.

Right here is the best argument for his 20 opponents. And they are going to beat him over the head with it.

I am a little impressed that Biden Jr. figured out how to amass wealth thru crooked dealings without spending a lifetime in Congress like his old man.

The Biden Playbook: hold as few rallies as possible, give short speeches to tiny crowds, avoid answering questions, get anointed by the DNC, have the media run phony polls, and let the media do most of the heavy lifting when it comes to actual campaigning.

Essentially, he’s Hillary Clinton 2.0

This is true of every one of them. Without that lying media system running interference for them and refusing to bring forth the ugliness in their history, none of them could win.

“Biden is covered under the Kenyanesian Usurpation umbrella of protection.”

Not if he’s just in the race to keep certain constituencies in-play for somebody else to join the race later on. Joe might not be thinking in those terms, but I wouldn’t put it past Obama to be orchestrating something.

Joe Biden is NOT the preferred candidate of the DNC or the MSM.

He can not be president. That is a fact.
