    You want us to provide you with the details of Biden's life and career, but not talk about Trump??? Hello!~!~! Elections are a referendum on the incumbent.

    But in the event, you are serious about wanting to know Joe's accomplishments, then go right here: https://joebiden.com/joes-story/

    We are seeing the political equivalent of the reach-around. The one with pants up. The same left which RARELY says anything nice about McConnell now produces as the sole evidence this far McConnell doing political boilerplate.

    What did Groper really do, save bleed our Treasury and provide comic relief for Obamatrauma?

    Well he was for everything he is now against and against everything he is now for, so I guess being able to pull off that makes him about as good as a con man as Trump and equally qualified.

    Being a solid, avuncular kind of guy!? Is this not enough to qualify as president?

    How can that be? Your side thinks McConnell is terrible, Nazi, anti-American etc. How can you believe what he says?

    I don't have a side. Independent. And irrelevant.

    You asked for accomplishments, and I provided them. My opinion of McConnell and the voters in Delaware has nothing to do with these accomplishments.

    Biden's greatest accomplishment will be to convince us he is running a serious campaign from his basement while thousands show up regularly wherever Donald Trump chooses to stop. It must be intensely painful for libs to see those crowds around Trump and not around good old Word Salad.

    Libs will say Trump is endangering us all by getting us so close-together. Unity is wrong, they tell us! (And here I thought socialists wanted us all alike!) But now Trump endangers the Constitution, Pelosi claims, and for conservatives this Brietbart story should amuse:

    During a Friday interview on CBS’s “This Morning,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) doubled down on saying Biden should not debate President Donald Trump. Pelosi argued that Trump “has no fidelity to fact or truth” and “isn’t committed to our Constitution,” thus she asked “why bother” holding a debate with him.

    Host Gayle King asked, “You had earlier suggested that you didn’t think Biden should debate. Do you still feel that way?”

    “I do,” Pelosi replied. “Not that I don’t think he’ll be excellent. I just think that the president has no fidelity to fact or truth, and actually, in his comments the last few days, no fidelity to the Constitution of the United States. He and his henchmen are a danger with their comments, are a danger to our democracy. So, I didn’t want to give him — you know, why bother — you know, he doesn’t tell the truth, he isn’t committed to our Constitution.”​

    https://www.breitbart.com/clips/202...ate-trump-isnt-committed-to-our-constitution/

    Liberals want the First and Second Amendments altered dramatically, among others. They definitely have no room to talk and neither does Biden. He's a washed-up goofy-grinning gladhander with bupkis for a political record and only a lack of qualified competition or else Dems would have run someone else.

    It is difficult to go bankrupt when your whole career is in the public sector. He may not be financially bankrupt but he IS morally bankrupt.

    Voting for the Iraq War for one. He also raised $83,000 / month for Hunter by holding $1B in aid to Ukraine hostage for the payment. He also gave China vibration suppression technology they use in their J-20 stealth fighter.

    Obviously Trump saw light and became a Republican. I think many Democrats are disgusted and will vote Republican. How does anyone who is supposedly intelligent vote for someone with dementia to run the US? I wouldn’t allow Biden to babysit my kids either...

    Biden was second fiddle to America's worst recession recovery in history. That's got to count for something...

    You understand that on that page it lists a total of 6 things he’s accomplished in Washington.

    1) Campaign finance reform in the early 70’s (though it doesn’t say he was successful)
    2) Arms control with The START treaty with Russia.
    3) He fought against a 10 lane highway project in Delaware
    4) He organized several hearings on climate change
    5) He took on the NRA twice
    6) Spearheaded the Violence Against Women Act

    That’s over the course of a 47... let me say that again... FORTY SEVEN year political career.

    If those are the most impressive accomplishments in his career then his career has been completely pathetic and he needs to give back his salary for at least 40 of those years.
