Wide spread election fraud 2020

Does anyone remember the stories when Biden was a VP candidate about how he was the the least wealthy Senator or long-time Senator or whatever that claim was? Forbes estimates his net worth a $9 M now (which may still make him one of the less wealthy Senators given they can pretty much insider trade all day with no penalty.)

Yeah I remember.

Given the amount of loot former presidents have been able take down in recent years after leaving office, it shouldn?t be super surprising that a former V-POTUS could do pretty well, too.
 
I wonder if there's a law against giving a Senator money to invest for you.

he would be in the top 35 at $9mm. But that's not really the issue - plenty of wealthier senators were wealthy when they became senators. The issue for Joe is, how did he build a net worth of $9mm when he's spent his life in government and his net worth as of 2009 was reportedly ~$30k. But, as we've learned through the press, that's not suspicious at all, and probably has nothing to do with his family's dealings with foreign governments, which he played a key role in developing and that obviously don't need to be investigated.

on slow days, particularly when a story would hit the tape about "legal" insider trading by politicians, we would joke around about how you could structure a fund to get someone elected and then have that person just trade on inside information. Back then we were na?ve enough to think the people we knew would get disqualified for one reason or another based on something from their past. We were so innocent back then.

I dunno.

According to Forbes, much of the loot came the way a lot of former POTUSes dough after leaving the White House ? speaking engagements and book deals and such.

I think Al Gore probably made an amount of money after being the vice president; maybe Cheney did too; I don?t think anybody cared or paid attention he was already filthy rich.

?Filthy? is idiomatic, I don?t think it?s filthy to be rich at all if a person didn?t accomplish it through nefarious activities.

Some will claim that's the only way to be excessively wealthy.

It's weird you're attacking Biden; I mean the guy is shady as hell, and a simple vessel of corporate corruption; politically you and he are on the same page:




He's your guy! He helped make all the things you support possible in Congress.
 
So 2009, he would have been 67, with $30k in the bank? Worst career-crook ever.
 
That's hard to believe for a guy with a steady job since the 70s. He might be worse with money than Trump is.

that number is odd. I searched for "Biden net worth" and the first article that comes up (using Duck Duck Go) is this one in "town and country" which links to this CBSNews article for the evidence of Biden's net worth in 2009:
The least wealthy administration figure is Vice President Joe Biden, whose net worth is estimated at just $27,012. (President Obama comes in at $3,670,505.)
$27,012 is very precise... eh? But there's just no way that's true. Biden had been in the senate from 1973 (!!!) to 2009... you can look up his annual salary here: Senators were making six figures since 1991. And that was ON TOP OF deliverying on all sorts of corrupt-as-fuck wins and tax cuts for corporate America his whole career... was he doing all that pro bono?

How the hell could an insider like him only be worth that much? Guessing he was hiding & WAAAAY understating wealth.

This is all as shady as any of Trump's dealings.

Like the Democrats doing nothing about Trump's corruption though, the Republicans - being as dirty as their counterparts across the aisle - won't do anything about Biden.

apparently that's what he reported it to be - [URL="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/237-millionaires-in-congress/]you can ask CBS news about it.[/URL]

Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Farce" grossed over $100mm - i'd say he did alright propagating lies and b.s. after leaving the #2 spot at the White House.
 

still trying your hardest to misrepresent my positions or flat out lie so you can pretend to win an argument. You have no credibility and less integrity.
 
we already covered this, special buddy.

apologies, I hadn't seen your post where you say without evidence that Trump is at least as corrupt as Biden so you can pretend that both sides are basically the same. I guess I was still laughing at some of your other posts where you say that there was no election fraud because a judge says there wasn't (despite loads of evidence there was, including video of people cheating), before getting to the post you're referring too where you whine about how corrupt everything is - everything other than the election, that is. But it's not a big deal because Republicans, especially Trump are corrupt too.
