WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden’s brand as a family-oriented public servant has been a signature political asset that for more than 50 years has helped him win the argument that, when judged against “the alternative” rather than “the Almighty,” he stacks up pretty well.
He’s never lost to a general-election opponent in a political career that’s taken him from Delaware’s New Castle County Council to the Oval Office.
But the burnish on Biden’s brand is being tested like never before, ahead of a close 2024 election. Some of the president’s Democratic allies are worried about potential fallout from a confluence of family drama that’s spilled into public view and from Republican attacks that cut at the bedrock of Biden’s longtime political appeal.
The GOP-led House is investigating the extent of Biden’s role in helping his son Hunter Biden earn millions of dollars from foreign business interests during his time as vice president.
Republicans also say Biden’s Justice Department tried to give Hunter Biden a “sweetheart” plea deal on federal tax and firearm possession charges — a deal that fell apart last month after a judge questioned its terms. At the same time, a federal special counsel is investigating Biden’s handling of classified documents following his two terms as vice president.
In a matter of a much more personal nature, Biden recently acknowledged for the first time that he has a seventh grandchild — Navy Joan Roberts, the 4-year-old daughter of Hunter Biden, who wrote in a memoir that he doesn’t remember his “encounter” with her mother.

Guy is exposed as probably the most corrupt politician of all time, and the best they can come up with is: “his brand is being tested”?
How about this one
In fact it's FJB
And available as a cattle brand
2 inch size for the forehead, chest and arm.
“Brand”.....la cosa nostra by any other name.
The left has always been deceitful in the way they “rebrand” their evil.
“planned parenthood”
“inflation reduction act”
All total bullshit and the exact opposite of what it really is.
Can we call Joe Biden the “Godfather” of the “Biden” crime family?
Biden responds forcefully to allegations his brand is being tested.
I like it. Clever.
Biden’s been an incompetent POS for 50 years and wrong on everything. He symbolizes the left.
Democratic allies push back, noting Biden’s longtime
political appeal centers on formidable tasks he’s taken on:
<><>his perfect grooming,
<><>taking regular naps
<><>doing favors for a price for our foreign adversaries,
<><>sucking up to the Chinese
<><>opening secret bank accounts,
<><>enriching his crime family
<><>phoning 6 out of his 7 grandkids everyday,
<><>working ceaselessly at his various mansions in Delaware,
And his most ambitious task....remaking his whoring
cokehead son, Hunter, into some semblance of a human being.
This is how they set up the “overcoming adversity” narrative.
-The GOP-led House is investigating the extent of Biden’s role in helping his son Hunter Biden earn millions of dollars from foreign business interests during his time as vice president.-
WTF? earn?
nothing could be clearer than the fact the entire Biden family should be locked up. the bank details, the LLCs, video/email/other evidence etc. it’s all there.
this pretense that it requires months? years? of further snail-paced investigation is infuriating.
I really don’t know how these shameless propagandists look at themselves in the mirror.
“ family-oriented public servant”
Har har har…if your family name is Biden or a connection!
Tested by who? Certainly not the media.
Gold Star families testified to Congress on Monday, I have seen barely a mention. Probably because the Gold Star families ripped Sleepy Joe.
Network clowns— did they mention it? Local Miami media has been silent. Yet when one Muslim “Gold Star” dad took issue with Donald Trump, the “journalists” gave him tons of attention.
Biden has made a public spectacle of his closeness to his son—parading him around in the WH, at state dinners on AF One—while continually denying knowledge of Hunter’s business deals w/ our adversaries. Yet, Joe has never divulged, and few people know, how helpful Joe is to Hunter’s influence-peddling. Read on.

Obama-era emails reveal Hunter’s extensive ties
to nearly a dozen senior-level Biden admin aides;
Hunter was deeply connected to Biden’s inner circle
By Jessica Chasmar, Cameron Cawthorne | Fox News

Nearly a dozen current and former officials serving in the Obama/Biden administration, including the president’s national security adviser and the secretary of state, have extensive ties to Hunter Biden, who is accused by Republicans of selling access to his father, dating back over a decade.
A Fox News Digital analysis reveals the extent of Hunter’s potential reach in the White House, while the corrupt Hunter skates away charged w/ only two alleged misdemeanor tax violations and a felony gun charge.
The contacts includes:
<><>two members of Biden’s Cabinet
<><>one former Cabinet member,
<><>a top aide to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin,
<><>a national security adviser,
<><>five top Obama/Biden White House aides,
<><>and a top Biden campaign aide on leave as communications director for Jill Biden.
Via her aide, Jill could have been privy to all the dirty doings but she has escaped scrutiny, so far.

Hunter, who started serving on the board in 2012, and Sullivan both served on the Washington-based nonprofit’s board between 2017 and early 2019, according to internet archives captured by the Wayback Machine.
During that time, Hunter was also serving on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings and the Chinese private equity fund BHR Partners.
The federal investigation into Hunter’s foreign business dealings, which is still ongoing, also launched during the same time frame in 2018.
Sullivan was recently accused by former White House official Mike McCormick of being a “conspirator” in the Biden family’s “kickback scheme” in Ukraine when Biden was vice president.

The greedy Bidens travel on China’s Silk Road Paved with Cash:
Court records confirm millions flowed to the Biden family from China.
A Prosecutor’s evidence trail in the Hunter Biden sweetheart plea case
directly contradicts denials which have been made by Joe Biden for years.
The humongous payments to the Bidens from Communist China
and Joe Biden’s efforts to conceal them raise larger questions
about whether such monies to his family caused Biden
to take actions harmful to Americans like:
<><> refusing to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon
<><> shuttering the FBI’s main Chinese counter-intelligence program
<><> failure to root out Chinese spies in U.S. academia
<><>among many.
His “brand” is = to Bud Light
