What you're missing is this is not the GOP of old. They've spent our kids and grandkids money with a deficit the likes of which we've never seen. This is truly the party of the uber wealthy now and they care nought about you.

10 Worst Things Joe Biden Has Done in His Political Career

POLITICS LISTS JOE BIDEN
The 10 Worst Things Joe Biden Has Done in His Political Career
It’s easy to forget, but Joe Biden used to be a punchline that very few people took seriously as a major political candidate. In 2008, he couldn’t surpass the immortal Bill Richardson in the polls—never exceeding 5% support—and Biden dropped out after the Iowa caucus—the first vote of primary season. Barack Obama single-handedly changed the course of Biden’s career, and after standing next to the most popular politician in America for eight years, Biden has finally gained the mainstream appeal he never was able to assemble on his own, as he officially launched his (doomed) presidential campaign today while leading in tons of polls.
Joe Biden’s Senate career has been defined by being essentially a center-right Republican. In no particular order, here are the 10 worst things Joe Biden has done in his political career*.
*We’re confining this to the legislative and campaign arena, so the creepy Joe Biden stuff, like the title photo of this column, will not be making an appearance.
1. Anita Hill Hearings
When Christine Blasey Ford testified in front of Congress about Brett Kavanaugh’s attempted sexual assault, it depressingly mirrored another testimony like this from Anita Hill about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s sexual harassment in 1994—when Joe Biden and Orrin Hatch oversaw a disastrous testimony that they structured. Biden called no independent experts and forced Hill to defend herself alone against an avalanche of immensely powerful white men, and Joe Biden has since apologized and said he wished he would have done more. This is an ongoing theme with Uncle Joe, where he royally screwed up in the past, defended himself in the past, and then apologized in a more tolerant future that his political instincts are clearly not geared towards.
2. 1994 Crime Bill
In 2016, Joe Biden defended his crime bill that is as responsible for mass incarceration as any other piece of legislation passed in the last forty years, saying:
”I’m not ashamed of [the Crime bill] at all. As a matter of fact, I drafted the bill. We talk about this in terms mostly of ‘black lives matter.’ Black lives really do matter, but the problem is institutional racism in America. That’s the overarching problem that still exists.”
His speech from 1993 defending the bill is one of the more fascist things you will hear out of a modern Democrat.
This is the legacy of the Biden Crime Bill.
3. Had to drop out of the 1988 presidential race for plagiarism
He got caught plagiarizing in law school at Syracuse, and admitted to it. He failed, but was allowed to retake the class. Biden ultimately had to drop out of the 1988 race after it became clear that this didn’t stop in law school, as he stole excerpts of speeches from John F. Kennedy and other famous politicians.
A big chunk of Biden’s brand is wrapped up in being authentic, but his 1988 run was anything but.
4. Reportedly used his son’s death for his own political gain in 2016
Per Politico:
Joe Biden has been making his 2016 deliberations all about his late son since August.
Aug. 1, to be exact — the day renowned Hillary Clinton-critic Maureen Dowd published a column that marked a turning point in the presidential speculation.
According to multiple sources, it was Biden himself who talked to her, painting a tragic portrait of a dying son, Beau’s face partially paralyzed, sitting his father down and trying to make him promise to run for president because “the White House should not revert to the Clintons and that the country would be better off with Biden values.”
…
But in truth, Biden had effectively placed an ad in The New York Times, asking them to call.
5. He voted to gut welfare
Biden was a 1990s Democrat through and through, as he supported all of Bill Clinton’s most conservative policies, like welfare “reform” that ultimately failed, as Jordan Weismann described in Slate:
The Urban Institute’s Pamela Loprest and Sheila Zedlewski found that during the early postreform era, about one-third of single parents were jobless soon after leaving welfare. Those who did find work often earned no more than what they lost in benefits; studies have concluded that anywhere from 42 to 74 percent of those who exited the program remained poor. Meanwhile, states began enrolling fewer new families in welfare. As the rolls shrank, a new generation of so-called disconnected mothers emerged: single parents who weren’t working, in school, or receiving welfare to support themselves or their children. According to Loprest, the number of these women rose from 800,000 in 1996 to 1.2 million in 2008.
In keeping with that trend, researchers have also found a gradual uptick in what economists call deep or extreme poverty. Johns Hopkins’ Edin and Luke Shaefer, now of the University of Michigan, reported that the number of American households with children living on less than $2 in cash per person each day grew 159 percent, from about 636,000 in 1996 to 1.65 million in 2011. Even if you treat the value of food stamps as cash, the number rose some 80 percent, to 857,000. In their book $2.00 a Day, Edin and Shaefer describe women and children living on the fringes of society, relying on homeless shelters and selling their own plasma to get by. “Some of those people are ending up in very frightening conditions that don’t even look like America,” Edin tells me.
6. He gave Obama a classic racist backhand compliment
Before he became Barack Obama’s running mate, he took a shot at America’s soon-to-be first black president that was just dripping in racism. Per Biden:
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”
Biden went on The Daily Show and apologized for using the word “clean,” saying he should have opted for the word “fresh.” He did not address the “articulate” part of his statement, which is a classic racist backhanded compliment that typically conveys a sense of surprise that a black person can speak clearly and with gravitas.
7. Voted to overturn Glass-Steagall
Glass-Steagall was one of the first things that we did in the wake of the Great Depression, as it created a firewall between investment banking and FDIC-insured deposits, meaning that Wall Street could not gamble with your savings. It is one of the central reasons why so many Wall Street banks are too big to fail. Joe Biden, Bill Clinton and the rest of powerful Democrats in 1999 changed all that, to the dismay of the longest tenured congressman in U.S. history, the late John Dingell, who called our coming crises the night of Biden’s vote in 1999:
I think we ought to look at what we are doing here tonight. We are passing a bill which is going to have very little consideration, written in the dark of night, without any real awareness on the part of most of what it contains.
I just want to remind my colleagues about what happened the last time the Committee on Banking brought a bill on the floor which deregulated the savings and loans. It wound up imposing upon the taxpayers of this Nation about a $500 billion liability …
Having said that, what we are creating now is a group of institutions which are too big to fail. Not only are they going to be big banks, but they are going to be big everything, because they are going to be in securities and insurance, in issuance of stocks and bonds and underwriting, and they are also going to be in banks.
And under this legislation, the whole of the regulatory structure is so obfuscated and so confused that liability in one area is going to fall over into liability in the next. Taxpayers are going to be called upon to cure the failures we are creating tonight, and it is going to cost a lot of money, and it is coming. Just be prepared for those events.
Again, when confronted in the future with the failure of his policies, all Biden could do is apologize.
8. Eulogized one of America’s most famed racists
Perhaps there is no better summation of Joe Biden’s Senate career than the fact that America’s most famed 20th century congressional racist asked him to speak at his funeral. Strom Thurmond staged the longest filibuster in American history, speaking for 24 hours and 18 minutes against the 1957 Civil Rights Act. During his run for presidency in 1948, Governor Thurmond said “There’s not enough troops in the army, to force the southern people to break down segregation and admit the n******* race into our theaters, into our swimming pools, into our homes, and into our churches.” When confronted with this quote in 1988 (by the time Biden claimed Thurmond had changed into a more tolerant man), Thurmond responded with “I was just trying to protect the rights of the states and the rights of the people. Some in the news media tried to make it a race fight, but it was not that.”
9. Opposed school integration in the 1970s
One big reason why Biden and Thurmond were so close was their joint efforts to oppose integrating schools in the 1970s. Per Politico:
Ed Brooke, a Massachusetts Republican, was the first black senator ever to be popularly elected; Joe Biden was a freshman Democratic senator from Delaware. By 1975, both had compiled liberal voting records. But that year, Biden sided with conservatives and sponsored a major anti-busing amendment. The fierce debate that followed not only fractured the Senate’s bloc of liberals, it also signified a more wide-ranging political phenomenon: As white voters around the country—especially in the North—objected to sweeping desegregation plans then coming into practice, liberal leaders retreated from robust integration policies.
Biden was at the forefront of this retreat: He had expressed support for integration and—more specifically—busing during his Senate campaign in 1972, but once elected, he discovered just how bitterly his white constituents opposed the method. In 1973 and 1974, Biden began voting for many of the Senate’s anti-busing bills, claiming that he favored school desegregation, but just objected to “forced busing.”
“Forced busing” was a phrase that Thurmond leaned on heavily to oppose integrating schools, and when Biden embraced Thurmond’s politics on this issue, he also embraced his rhetoric.
10. Biden voted for the Iraq War
The biggest quagmire of millennials’ lifetimes—our Vietnam, sans the draft—was aided along by Senator Joe Biden. Hillary Clinton lost in 2008 because of this vote, while Barack Obama made hay off his opposition to an immoral and illegal war. Joe Biden’s entire political career is proof that he has been behind the times every single step of the way, and there is no reason to believe that 2020 will be any different.

NOW JOE BIDENS 47 YEAR CAREER POLITICIAN BLUNDERS
Please feel free to weep at what he brings to the table.
UNITED STATES – Former Vice President Joe Biden is running for president in 2020, but what does his past record look like?
We previously published an article with the most well known things about Joe Biden’s terrible record, but here is a much more complete list.
Joe Biden on Medicare For All
Joe Biden opposes Medicare For All and instead wants a moderate public healthcare option where people can buy into medicare. He also opposes The Green New Deal. Both have popular support in favor of them, but Biden opposes them.
However, Joe Biden recently said he “doesn’t have time” to lay out his healthcare plan. Although, now Biden has shown his support for a more moderate public healthcare option by expanding the Affordable Care Act (ACA / Obamacare).
But, it is also unclear what Biden thinks about healthcare at the same time.
Joe Biden on Legalizing Marijuana
Joe Biden opposes the legalization of Marijuana, and has a past record of voting to criminalize it all together. Our previous article found that overall, Joe Biden is anti-Marijuana, while many other candidates support legalization.
Joe Biden Supports the Death Penalty
In 1991, Joe Biden boasted about expanding the death penalty for major drug dealers and widening asset forfeiture, as well as restricting judges’ discretion in sentencing. “The government can take everything you own, from your car to your house to your bank account!” Joe Biden said. This was in reference to the 1988 Anti-Drug Abuse Act.
Joe Biden’s 1994 Crime Bill
Joe Biden went on to help with writing the 1994 Crime Bill, which “authorized the death penalty for dozens of existing and new federal crimes.” Biden talked controversial rhetoric around the time before the bill was voted on, it passed, and ended up particularly targeting black Americans being incarcerated at a much higher rate.
According to the Wall Street Journal in 2016, Joe Biden did not regret the 1994 Crime Bill, but instead defended it. However, Biden back-peddled those statements recently in 2019, saying he does regret it and called it a “big mistake.” But which is it? Joe Biden only recently said he regrets the crime bill, and most likely is only because he is running for president.
However, Senator Bernie Sanders has long said he regrets the bill, and only voted yes because the Violence Against Women’s Act was included in the same bill. Joe Biden controlled the bill at the time, and he himself put both the 1994 crime bill and the violence against women’s act into the same congressional vote.
Joe Biden on DOMA
In 1996, Joe Biden voted for and passed the Defense of Marriage Act, which forbid the U.S. government from recognizing same-sex relationships defined by the states. It wasn’t until 2012 that then Vice President Joe Biden under President Obama changed his mind.
Joe Biden on NAFTA
Biden voted for the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and permanent normal trade relations with China. Senator Bernie Sanders who is also running for president in 2020, recently slammed Joe Biden for downplaying China’s economic threat to the U.S.
Joe Biden on Iraq War / War
Long story short, Joe Biden voted Yes for the Iraq War in 2002. There are numerous reasons why the U.S. should never have gotten into that war.
According to the New York Times, not only did Biden vote for the Iraq War, he also gave his full support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He also played a key role in the Obama administration that supported drone strikes. Biden also seemed to support the War in Yemen.
Joe Biden once floated the idea of dividing Iraq into three semi-autonomous regions, says the New York Times.
Joe Biden on Patriot Act
What started as the Omnibus Counter-terrorism Act of 1995, later morphed into the Patriot Act in 2001.
The Patriot Act authorized indefinite detentions of immigrants, law enforcement being given permission to search a business or home without the occupant’s or owner’s knowledge or consent, an expansion on the use of National Security letters which lets the FBI search telephones, e-mails, and financial records without needing a court order, and law enforcement’s expanded access of law enforcement agencies to business records, which includes financial records.
Since the Patriot Act’s passing in 2001, there have been several legal challenges against it, with federal courts ruling that a number of provisions in it are unconstitutional.
Joe Biden introduced and co-wrote the 1995 Omnibus Bill, and has bragged about it being the same thing as the Patriot Act on many occasions. Biden has taken it upon himself to take credit for the bill many times.
Joe Biden on Abortion and Roe v. Wade
Joe Biden voted to advance bills that would kill Roe v. Wade (Abortion Rights) and has opposed abortion many times over the years. He also voted for a constitutional amendment to allow individual states to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Joe Biden on 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act
Joe Biden voted in favor of the NRA when the Senate, and the nation, were very different in 1986. The 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act allowed firearms to be sold by mail and limited inspections of dealers while allowing them to sell at gun shows. The NRA has called this bill “The law that saved gun rights in America.”
However, Joe Biden did later support more gun regulations.
Joe Biden on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas
We previously reported on this issue and wrote the following:
Joe Biden was the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1991, while there were hearings for Clarence Thomas to be on the Supreme Court. Anita Hill accused Thomas of inappropriate sexual behavior towards her. Joe Biden chose not to call in Hill’s three witnesses who would have corroborated the sexual harassment allegations.
Instead, Biden did little to nothing to stop his colleagues from attacking Anita Hill. Joe Biden seemed to almost apologetically give Thomas the benefit of the doubt, which assisted in placing Thomas on the Supreme Court.
This has become an issue for both women and black people, with Hill’s name bringing up memories of a black woman who struggled with attacks by a dozen powerful white men who asked aggressive questions and questioned her character, while Biden did not do much to stop it.
However, Joe Biden brings up the Violence Against Women Act he drafted in his defense, which has currently been reauthorized four times.
Joe Biden on Desegregated School Busing
Joe Biden expressed support for desegregated school busing during his 1972 Senate campaign. However, after he was elected, he took the influence of how bitterly his white constituents opposed mixed-race school busing.
In 1973 and 1974, Biden voted for many of the Senate’s anti-busing bills. Joe Biden claimed he favored school desegregation, but that he objected to “forced busing.”
Joe Biden’s letters revealed how he sought support of segregationists in the fight against desegregated busing.
Joe Biden Endorsed Republicans in 2018
During the 2018 mid-term elections, Biden supported Republicans who were running for congress such as Rep. Fred Upton in Michigan. As did Beto O’Rourke in Texas.
Joe Biden was paid $200,000 by the GOP to give a speech supporting Republican Rep. Fred Upton, according the Splinter News, and Slate also reported Biden’s bi-partisanship.
Bipartisanship is the foundation of a democracy but more than once Biden has proven himself to be the proverbial “Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing” showing that he is more of a moderate Republican than an actual democrat. He even went so far as to recently call the elected left “The new left” showing furthermore his removal from left politics.
Joe Biden on Social Security and Medicare
Biden Says He’s the Workers’ Candidate, But He Has Worked To Cut Medicare and Social Security, according to In These Times.
Joe Biden had a leading role in the Obama administration’s efforts in 2011 to slash the deficit by offering Republicans spending cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
Later in 2018, Joe Biden did criticize the Trump-Republican tax cuts that he said aren’t working, but also agreed with Paul Ryan wanting to cut social security and medicare.
Joe Biden on Student Debt, Climate Change
Simply put, Joe Biden Backed Bills To Make It Harder For Americans To Reduce Their Student Debt according to IB Times.
We also previously reported on this and said: In 2005, Joe Biden voted yes for a bankruptcy law that made it more difficult for students to reduce their debt, and prevented most Americans from claiming bankruptcy protections for private student loans. It was known as The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (BAPCPA)
Joe Biden did not mention climate change in his campaign launch video, and instead made it all about defeating Trump, but Biden will need substance and policies to defeat Trump, not just some big talk rhetoric.
However, Biden has approved of fighting climate change, but has not yet endorsed the Green New Deal and his position on it is still unknown.
Joe Biden on Young Voters
Joe Biden doesn’t connect with young voters and the issues that matter to them, and is quoted as basically saying he doesn’t care about that.
“The younger generation now tells me how tough things are. Give me a break. No, no, I have no empathy for it. Give me a break,” Joe Biden told The Los Angeles Times.
Joe Biden on Bank Deregulation
We previously reported on this, and said:
In 1999 before the Glass-Steagall Act was repealed, it barred commercial banks from engaging in investment banking that had been scaled back while Bill Clinton was President. The repeal resulted in banks being less regulated, and allowing for big mergers such as the $33 billion deal between J.P. Morgan and Chase Manhattan in 2000.

Be careful what you wish for. We once were ruled by a king and that didn’t work out so well.

This is what the GOP does - work up the masses to a fever pitch of anger and then tell them what to think and do. Bread and circus, same as it ever was, and all to benefit those in power.

I asked DuckDuckGo the same question, just a different name inserted.
Has Trump done anything good?
Has Biden done anything good?
8 out of 10 sites had good praising articles for Trump, the 2 that didn't were CNN and aanother on the left called mother Jones
9 out of 10 sites had negative articles of Biden, with one just being Joe's Biography. So Biden had 100% negative articles.
Like it says above, Do your own test.
Bye Do Nothing
