The trials and tribulations of 68’s next POTUS: CREEPY JOE BIDEN

Trump was elected by a base that is mostly ok with bigotry and misogyny, such as bitter divorced lawyers. The early indications I see is that this is going to have a very minor impact on Biden campaign should he choose to run
 
Axios: Biden advisers smell a conspiracy

Joe Biden advisers believe coverage of allegations of inappropriate behavior is being stoked by rival Democrats — a dynamic that could actually fire up the vice president at a time when others see success as increasingly improbable.

Several around Biden think advisers to Bernie Sanders are at least partly behind the anti-Biden campaign.
One prominent backer thinks Biden will run, and "is ready to kill Bernie."

I got this text last night from a source close to Biden:

"VP directed staff this evening to reach out to supporters and donors with a simple message — full steam ahead."
A second woman went on the record yesterday to say that a past display of affection by Biden had made her feel uncomfortable.

Amy Lappos of Connecticut told the Hartford Courant that Biden rubbed noses during a 2009 political fundraiser in Greenwich when he was vice president: "It wasn't sexual, but he did grab me by the head."
Biden spokesman Bill Russo blasted "right wing trolls" from "the dark recesses of the internet" for circulating misleading photos of Biden embraces.

he was one of the most famous people in America for decades prior to running. everyone knew who he was. Someone like Mayor Pete is actually an outsider.
 
He claimed that he was one of the people who bought off politicians. How that would make him an outsider I do not know? Seems like that would be the epitome of swamp. Then he turned around and passed a tax bill that is about as favorable to corporate and Wall Street interests as you could imagine.

He ran as a Republican, who used to be pro-life Hillary supporter...he has been around politics most of his life.

He is an idiot conman who took aim at poor minded racists...and here we are, he is now an abortion of a President.
 
To my eyes the #metoo political hit is de riguer. It is the ‘soup of the day’ among the seasoned operatives and so provides excellent cover for deeper motivations. Who is behind the hit? At first blush it seems all roads lead to Bernie..you have an erstwhile surrogate revive an event and use the prototypical language of a movement that needs, itself, an occasional scalp for sustained momentum and exposure.

Biden’s weaknesses (politically)..what are they? Do they extend beyond hair sniffing and insensitive gaffes?

If Joe were to be the nominee it would ignite a mutual whatabout-battle between he and Trump. Sexual peccadillos would be largely off the table as a weapon against Trump. Biden’s past comments on race would also attenuate any perceived advantage to attack the President.

These aspects appear fairly routine and banal. But what other motivations could there be for D power brokers to clip Biden this early in the game? The answer may be found in the “Russia” investigation which strangely has had more to do with the Ukraine. The Podestas and Manafort..McCain’s Kiev connections with the Nazi’s (real Nazi’s) of the Svoboda Party. Biden could be a gateway to what has previously been laid fully at the feet of Paul Manafort and by implication, Trump.

But any kind of dive - say a perusal of Bare Naked Capitalism will reveal Hunter Biden’s involvement with a firm that has also hired family from other DC brokers (family and friends) who have also acquired curious appointments to boards of companies ultimately listed in Cyprus.

The Hill fires the first warning shot across the bow.. and one wonders what the public will think if it begins to become newsworthy? When people sit down and see for themselves “well, it looks like all kinds of DC hands are in the natural gas bonanza and money laundering machine that is the Ukraine!”

—a little too close to home, methinks :

Two years after leaving office, Joe Biden couldn’t resist the temptation last year to brag to an audience of foreign policy specialists about the time as vice president that he strong-armed Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor.

In his own words, with video cameras rolling, Biden described how he threatened Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in March 2016 that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if it didn’t immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.

“I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion.’ I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,’” Biden recalled telling Poroshenko.

“Well, son of a bitch, he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time,” Biden told the Council on Foreign Relations event, insisting that President Obama was in on the threat.

Trump is certainly an outside the beltway politico. He is upsetting traditional business of Pubs and Dems. The “swamp” is precisely what has been going on in the Ukraine over the past 2 decades. The Panama Papers and Paradise Papers clearly show the western elites fondness for shell co.’s and Ponzi schemes.

Lmao at anybody who thinks Donald fucking Trump is outside of that swamp.
 
Bernie w/ 18 million in 41 days. Impressive.

Expect the attacks on Jane Sanders to begin.. the College, misleading donors by fibbing about future donations. It will become really fierce for establishment Dems who are aware of his isolation as a candidate and legislator. “He won’t be able to get any legislation passed” will be his Dem opponents go-to phrase.

Those aren’t really his circles. He deals with mob elements in NYC and Nevada..I think that would be standard for anyone building or operating in those citiest. He has to deal with Union chiefs and a mixture of guys like Felix Sater. But Trump is not really in these deep geo political nests. The brokers like the Podestas and Manafort’s curry political favors which shades oversight..they are paid handsomely and bury their money in things like art (Podestas). There is gun running and drug running all around the periphery. It’s a pay to play and Kerry and Clinton’s and McCain have all deep ties in the Ukraine.

Trump is more like Kennedy was with guys like Sam G. He likes the spotlight and the fight game so he does have Russian elements around his venues. They are splashy characters and the President has tendencies toward gaudiness..ya think? :)

But as yet..they have not found any links that they can turn into a valid charge. With Joe Biden you have a guy who bragged about getting a Ukrainian prosecutor fired..a prosecutor who just so happened to be investigating massive fraud at a company at which his son, Hunter, sits on the board (along with a Kerry fam member).

https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/201...-new-ukrainian-employer-burisma-holdings.html

Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist nails it. From her list of nine questions, numbers 7 and 9 are worth particular emphasis:

7. Why would a Ukrainian energy company want Devon Archer or Hunter Biden to serve on its board?

Assuming that they have been appointed to the board, the most innocent explanation is that the company wants to increase foreign direct investment and views Archer and Biden as having the experience to make that happen. Archer, for example, is a long-time investor and financier.

The most disturbing explanation is that the company is attempting to curry favor with the U.S. government by enlisting the services of the close family friend and campaign bundler of the Secretary of the State and the son of the vice president.

…

9. This has to be a hoax, right?

It’s so bizarre that you almost have to assume it’s a hoax. It sounds more like a cliched movie plot — a shady foreign oil company co-opts the vice president’s son in order to capture lucrative foreign investment contracts — than something that would actually happen in real life. But the indications as of this afternoon are that the board appointments actually happened, and that a Ukrainian energy company has retained the counsel of the vice president’s son and the Secretary of State’s close family friend and top campaign bundler.

Take question 9 first. The answer could indeed be “yes”.

However, it is not R. Hunter Biden’s appointment that is a hoax, nor Devon Archer’s; nor is it, for that matter, the appointment of the ex-President of Poland, Aleksander Kwasniewski, who is also on Burisma’s board, as of January. No, it’s Burisma itself that looks flaky, even on a casual inspection.

But surely, that would be a failure of due diligence on the part of messrs Biden, Archer and Kwasniewski? Indeed it would, but there is a most unfortunate precedent for such a failure, which you can read about here, at some length. To sum it up: in 2006 or so, two Bidens, James Biden (future VP’s brother) and our R. Hunter Biden (future VP’s son), wildly overpaid a drug-addicted very senior Moonie for a hedge fund marketing operation that was hugely exaggerating its size and success, and turned out to be distributing ponzis, including the giant Allen Stanford ponzi, second only to Madoff, and other eyecatching frauds, such as Ponta Negra, via a sales network that included brokers with visibly very terrible FINRA records.
