Yes, Taichi, never truer words were thus spake ! I think crooked Joe Biden maintained very high professional standards as POTUS in office (pardon me while I fart in your general direction....Aaaahhh-that's better !) In fact, Taichi, his virtuous conduct as a politician can be traced all the way back to the start of his political career - when he became Senator for Delaware in 1972. No sooner had "fingers" Biden been sworn in to Congress, he was "carrying water" on the hill for big Credit Card corporations and cigarette machine companies in Delaware in return for cash kick-backs.
Biden was also a psychopathic liar throughout his entire political career. In 1988, while campaigning for the Presidency, Biden was forced to drop out - in disgrace - after being caught plagiarising a wonderful speech by a Welsh Labour MP Neil Kinnock, (that KInnock delivered in 1987). Kinnock was a true, working - class "boyo" from the coal mines of the Welsh valleys, and his speech was one of those rare, magnificent and profoundly moving political addresses that cut across Party political lines (even in the bitter class strife of Margaret Thatcher's radical, economic reforms, and was said ,even, to have had the British police guards in attendance in tears. Biden, of course, HAD to steal it, and pass it of as his own work. (A very arrogant and foolish thing to have done at the time). The public scandal of his plagiarism made his bid for the 1988 Presidency untenable. He was also caught plagiarising at Law School, where he lifted the entire content of an article from a published law review to pass of as his own scholarship. There are other shameful incidents as well.
With respect Biden's moral character, he was a devoted ass-licker of the influential, Democrat power-broker and Party "Grand- Pooba", Robert C Byrd.. Like Biden, Byrd was a hard-wired racist, and was, indeed, a former Grand Cyclops in the Ku Klux Klan. Byrd died in 2010, and at his lavish funeral ceremony - before, the Clintons and Obama all the rest of the Democrat Royalty, it was Joe Biden who read the tedious eulogy, a banal "sermon" that dragged on for well over an hour.
Joe Biden is a psychopath, in the sense he has no real moral conscience or capacity to empathise/feel compassion. The moral terms "right" and "wrong" mean nothing to him. He is also a narcissist, utterly self-centred and egomaniacal. Even knowing full-well that he had pronounced dementia (he was told this years ago by his attending physicians) he refused point blank to stand down after the severity of his condition was exposed to the American public in the disastrous debate he had with Donald Trump. He was revealed to be totally unfit for office but was so selfish he stubbornly insisted on remaining "President" despite being a danger to the nation, and an electoral liability to his Party.
Biden will use whatever means is necessary to advance/achieve his personal ends. And these have basically been to maximise his political power, and to enrich himself (and his immediate family) by taking advantage of his political influence as a: Senator; a Vice President and finally as US President. Biden is nothing more than a "tin-pot" liar and a grifter. He is the very word President in American history, THAT is his legacy. And despite the fact the he was a "non compos mentis" ceremonial puppet for his term in office, he was nontheless still the 46th President of the United States, and DID have some understanding of the appalling things he was doing in terms of rubber-stamping anti-American domestic and foreign policy/Executive Orders. He simply didn't give a fuck.
BTW, Taichiliberal, did you notice BIDEN has just been officially nailed in Congress for "impeachable offences" and for his all of the millions of dollars of "filthy lucre" he used to line his pockets by cutting dirty deals with shady customers from: China Ukraine, Russia and other criminal states when he was Obama's VEEP. Charming, I must say. Also he was in the thick of the OBAMAGATE conspiracy, offering helpful suggestions to Obama and his rat-pack on how to bring down General Michael Flynn in 2017, amongst other things. While Biden was still sane , he "intentionally and wilfully" "mishandled" a shit - load of classified governments documents (that were mostly extremely sensitive). These ended up strewn all over the place (like a mad woman's shit) Although Biden was sane when he illegally removed these classified documents, and had done so intentionally and willingly, DOJ Special Counsel, Robert Hur, (investigating the case) declined to press criminal charges because he deemed that - (to be blunt) - Biden was insane (demented) and would be unable to defend himself in a court of law ( ! !)
So, Taichiliberal,....how would I sum up America's 46th President, Joe Biden. Some people would say he was a "tragic" figure, but if you know your canon, you will also know that there is some of "the noble" in the tragic character (Clint Eastwood's character "Dirty Harry" is a good example) The first fitting line that I would apply to Joe Biden was Enoch Powell's famous quotation from the Roman poet , Virgil, "Those whom the Gods wish to destroy they first turn mad." Biden was sent mad (with dementia) by 2020 at the latest. Over the next four years he was utterly destroyed as a Head of State. He has no legacy but disgrace and shame.
On a personal note, I would describe Biden as a someone who managed to rise to a great status - the President of the United States - but was always nothing more than a grubby LITTLE conniving shit. A petty grifter, at heart; a lying phoney, a reprobate with the moral integrity of a sewer rat, a cheap con-man. The only historical character I can think of that is vaguely familiar to Biden is the notorious swindler, confidence-trickster, liar and fraud - Charles PONZI. Biden was like an elderly version of Ponzi (in the 1920s). Bur even Charles Ponzi had some moral scruples - Biden has none.
Joe Biden was America's misfortune - a (large) shit-stain across the honourable and valorous story of the American Republic.
