Delusional to the end.
Fifty years of sucking on the public teat!
Well...he DID keep our boys out of Ireland. 🙄
“Biden: I Hope My Legacy Is I ‘Did What I Said’ — I Ran for Office to ‘Reduce the Prospect of War’ after Vietnam”
Actually I believe his legacy will be:
Enriched Iran so she could incite wars all over the Mid East
Emboldened N Korea to engaged in aggression against S Korea
Allowed Russia to engaged in war with Ukraine
Helped China become a super power with an army that is ready to declare war on the US
Allowed the Mexican Cartels to declare war on the US
“Actually he ran for office to fleece the public and fill his multiple bank accounts with tax payer monies. He has never done anything to benefit the greater good of this country and that is all documented.”
Exactly right.
This old interview I ran across is telling.
“Let me say for the record, clearly, clearly Democrats are as immoral as Republicans, and maybe in big cities, a good deal more immoral in the traditional sense,” Biden said. “But as a practical matter, politicians as a whole, in my opinion, having practiced law for four years, are a good deal more moral than lawyers, for example, or doctors or businessmen as a whole. So, you know, we’re no different.”
More:
“I think the two-party system, although my Democratic colleagues won’t like me saying this, I think the two party system is good for the South, and good for the Negro and good for the black in the South,” Biden said. “Other than the fact they still call me ‘boy,’ I think they’ve changed their mind a little bit.”
Biden himself two years later questioned the concept of institutional racism, according to the Washington Post.
“I do not buy the concept, popular in the ’60s, which said, ‘We have suppressed the black man for 300 years and the white man is now far ahead in the race for everything our society offers. In order to even the score, we must now give the black man a head start, or even hold the white man back, to even the race. I don’t buy
that,” Biden said to a weekly newspaper in Delaware in 1975. “I don’t feel responsible for the sins of my father and grandfather. I feel responsible for what the situation is today, for the sins of my own generation. And I’ll be damned if I feel responsible to pay for what happened 300 years ago.”
Biden’s legacy : Pedo In Chief. Dog Faced Election Thief.
smh
That photo is his true legacy even the kKK hated some white people.
They burned farms and homes to make them obey.
Unfortunately, his legacy should be “arrested and tried for treason”.
YES
My only brother was in Vietnam '66-67. He said it was a good thing that the VC were such poor shots, because if he was ever shot, it would likely be by friendly fire.
Vietnam was nothing more than another proxy war with Russia and China. Nobody wins proxy wars, except the people who have big investments in the military industrial complex.
Joe had five draft deferments during the Vietnam War.
NO Win in Vietnam, for the US.
No Win in Korea.
No win in Afghanistan.
Everything changed after WWII and with the UN being created for the benefit of Multi-National Corporations.
Well in "Stripes", Bill Murray said we were "10 and 1".
“because we’re talking about over 50 years of public service,”
The Great Compromise is the only mistake in the Constitution. Little did the Founders know that someday senators would be running with and for their political party rather than the good of their own perspective state.
Repealing the 17th would be a start.
Reduce the prospect of war? What utter balderdash. Biden
sent carloads of our defense money to a foreign country.
FR thread—— Biden Admits Massively Undercounting Ukraine Aid
When conservatives in Congress pressed the Biden admin to provide the real cost of the Ukraine war in Jan 2023, the lawmakers estimated the U.S. had spent “a minimum of $114 billion.”
<><>Now, with added OMB information, Cong Vance and company estimate the current total to Ukraine amounts to at least $125 billion—$14 billion over what the OMB had previously claimed.
<><>That’s not all......the Biden administration could give Ukraine around another $4 billion in the form of weapons transfers from U.S. stockpiles under Presidential Drawdown Authority.
<><>This would bring the total amount to Ukraine to $129 billion.
When Biden’s OMB got around to responding almost eight months later, the OMB claimed, through an opaque and admittedly incomplete data sheet, that Ukraine aid totaled $111 billion.
<><>“The deficiencies in OMB’s response were numerous,” the Tuesday letter said of the OMB’s Sept 2023 response.
<><>“It did not account for hundreds of millions of dollars in base appropriations for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.
<><>It omitted the administration’s ‘$6.2 billion in ‘freed-up’ authority’ to send weapons to Ukraine,
<><>which meant that ‘certain numbers in OMB’s spreadsheet, as well as dollar figures the administration provided for at least some previous Ukraine-related drawdowns, are outdated.’
<><>It did not allow us to determine ‘what obligations, apportionments, and outlays the administration has undertaken for other countries in response to the Ukraine conflict.’”
Cong Vance and company concluded Biden OMB’s Sept 2023 response was “nonresponsive.” In a follow-up letter sent September 28, 2023, they added that
<><>“If OMB’s spreadsheet is to be relied on to produce such a figure—and we believe it cannot be—it is around $111 billion.
<><>It would appear likely that the data you have yet to provide would raise this figure by an indeterminate magnitude.
“Every one of these assertions has been validated,” the Tuesday letter claims. On March 8, 2024, “nearly six months after we again requested a full accounting of Ukraine spending, more than a year after our original request, and one business day before the OMB director was scheduled to testify before the Senate Budget Committee,” the letter notes, OMB finally decided to hand over “another tranche of information.” What it included was shocking.
<><>The latest OMB data dump to Congress revealed, according to the lawmakers’ letter,
<><>Biden failed to report at least another $684 million in appropriated Ukraine spending,
<><>left out another $900 million in DOD assistance connected to the Ukraine war,
<><>and a number of other pitfalls that has undercounted the total amount of Ukraine aid by a magnitude of billions.
There could be more, too, as lawmakers included a list of 14 probing questions and information requests in their latest correspondence with the OMB director.
No surprise—it’s not Joe Biden’s money at stake........ just the American people’s tax dollars.

Biden on VIETNAM
Circa 1970’s———Joe Biden didn’t offer any moral objections to the Vietnam War and thought protesters were “assholes,” but he said the war was a “tragic mistake” based on “lousy policy.”
JOE BIDEN FIRST ran for U.S. Senate in 1972 as the Vietnam War was entering its waning years. He was not a tenacious anti-war voice, nor did he embrace the anti-war movement, saying he was “not big on flak jackets and tie-dye shirts.” Biden described himself at the time as being married, in law school, and wearing sports coats.
He professed a “lack of moral outrage” at the war. He described walking through campus with law school friends one day and seeing other students occupying office buildings in protest. “They were taking over the building,” Biden said. “And we looked up and said, ‘Look at these assholes.’ That’s how far apart from the anti-war movement I was.” In Biden’s words, “The war had just been a tragic mistake based on a faulty premise.”
Biden, who was of draft age during the war, received five student deferrals. A spokesperson said in 2008 that Biden was “disqualified from service because of asthma as a teenager.” In his own words, Biden did not oppose the immorality of the war, which took the lives of as many as 2 million Vietnamese civilians and 58,000 U.S. soldiers, as much as he believed that it was “lousy policy.” Other political figures from his generation “felt more strongly than I did about the immorality,” Biden said. “My view of it was it didn’t make sense.” This posture would become a consistent theme of Biden’s positions on war: With some notable exceptions, Biden has emphasized strategic considerations and constitutional and legal arguments over questions about morality, sovereignty, or foreign casualties caused by U.S. militar
