JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: SOME ADDITIONAL REASONS WHY JOE BIDEN IS COMPLETELY UNSUITABLE TO BE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S CANDIDATE

COMMENT – ADDITIONAL ANECDOTES ON JOE BIDEN’S CAREER SHOWING HIS COMPLETE UNSUITABILITY TO BE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE


Biden has a habit of pawing women, including young girls, at many public events, something attested to by many easily-found photographs on the Internet.

Biden’s 1988 Presidential campaign effort was embarrassingly ended by evidence of his having plagiarized speeches of British Labour Party politician Neil Kinnock. He also plagiarized Bobby Kennedy.

Biden supported Bill Clinton’s most conservative policies, including an “end to welfare in our time.”

Biden actually said of Obama in 2007, “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”

Biden voted to overturn the Glass-Steagall Act, an important Roosevelt era law which protected insured consumer deposits from the predation of investment banking.

Biden opposed school integration through bussing in the 1970s, and he was asked to speak at the funeral of Strom Thurmond, unrepentant southern racist politician, in 2003, which he did.

For years, Biden described the driver of the truck which killed his first wife and daughter in 1972, as a drunk, saying things like, “He drank his lunch instead of eating his lunch.” He was not. The official investigation found the truck driver completely innocent. The driver’s family, obviously exposed to great anguish, pleaded with Biden to stop, but he would not, even after the unfortunate driver died.

Perhaps Biden’s most dangerous view is about Russia. He is quoted as saying, “[I regard Russia as] an adversary or even an enemy,” a tired repetition of the warmongering Pentagon attitude. He also repeats the completely unproven claim that Russia works to “subvert democracies in western Europe and the United States.”

Out of 330 million people, the best the two national parties can come up with is Biden and Trump, neither of whom is entirely rational.
