After awhile, you realize he likes it.

Proving you wrong is the easy part, getting you to grasp what we said was the real challenge, it almost always went well beyond your level of comprehension.

I see your alzheimers has gotten a lot worse.  Brilliant arguement and flawless logic BTW....simply briliant. Must be the diet eh?

And ain't it rather curious that "errors", "miscalculations, "human errors" and "mistakes" were always in the Democrats favor? I've not seen where thousands of votes went to President Trump in error! Also noted is the fact that the machines that had suspicious code also made "errors" that favored the Democrats. Seems rather suspicious to me. I continue to wonder how many elections have been rigged this way?

Que Twilight Zone Music...

Imagine if you will, a war zone, and a not so bright individual in the middle of a firefight, he inadvertently raises into the fire zone, when the guy next to him yells "---DUCK ASSHOLE"!

The not so bright individual stands tall and says where?- ----"Duck sounds better than C- rations..."

Yes, they do walk among us and unfortunately vote.

Yep, and thanks to his ignorance, he's taught these kids that our Founding Documents are fluid and should not be taken seriously.
Gee, what kind of impact is he having on young minds? Again, look no further than your typical blue city shithole.

Tell me something liar, just what part of the Constitution does your gawd trump follow? I understood long ago that when dealing with fools like you all one had to do is apply your lies to you, or your gawds, and the truth would be apparent. You live in a fictional world where truth is irrelevant to you, and it is destroying the country. And your whining will make no difference. Kind of like your claim to be "patriots" when few, if any, of you cowards actually served the country, and not yourselves.

My God is NOT a man, not President Trump, not Vice President Pence and certainly NOT some liberal like you. My GOD is THE God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. My God is the creator of the Universe. My God is author and finisher of our faith. My God is the god of the Bible. President Trump is a man, NOT a deity as you liberal Democrats like to advocate. I guess when you're a liberal Democrat and godless, you ascribe deity to anyone and anything...

You must have been under a rock for the last 10 years, or they still haven't found a cure for stoopid.  Ukraine, Joke bragging about getting the prosecutor fired.  Saving a percentage of the China scam for the "big guy".  A very lavish lifestyle, several mansions on a senators salary.  And don't start with his "dr." wife thing, she isn't a doctor.

James Biden, a family member was appointed executive vice president of a construction company, while Joey was VP. that would shortly receive a government contract "to build 100,000 homes in Iraq, financed by U.S. taxpayers."  James Biden has no background in construction. This didn't happen before and this didn't happen after Joke Buydon was vice president. It happened during his tenure.

Here ya go old socialist:  In the final years of the Obama administration, Joe Biden's net worth was estimated at -$947,987. The minus sign was the most important part of that figure. The negative numbers weren't implausible. After Obama won, Biden disclosed that he was carrying as much as a staggering $465,000 in debt.

But despite being a million in the hole, after his administration was done, he moved into a 12,000 foot estate that looks like a poor man's replica of the White House with 5 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, a wet bar, 2 kitchens, a sauna, 8 fireplaces, parking for 20 cars and a master bedroom on an entire floor.

The estimated rent is $20,000 a month.

That's in addition to buying a $2.7 million vacation home in Delaware and his original lakeside home.

Where did all that money come from? As with Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, part of the answer lies with some very lucrative book deals. The same year that Biden moved into his miniature White House, Macmillan offered Biden and his wife a multi-book contract worth unknown millions. That was quite a lot of money for a retired veep who hadn't even announced that he was running for again.

Biden's previous literary adventures hadn't exactly set the publishing world on fire. On taking office, Random House had paid him a $9,563 advance to record an audio version of Promises to Keep. The campaign book sold some 49,000 copies and netted under $200 in royalties in 2009.

No, there are no missing zeroes there.

Promise Me, Dad, the first of the Macmillan haul, debuted in 2017. On Amazon, it sits at #39,101 in Books, far below Buttigieg's book at #1,387, Kamala Harris' at #12,556 or Elizabeth Warren's at #22,40.

(Though doing far better than Cory Booker's disastrous book, down in the basement at #205,437.)

Even Stacey Abrams is doing better than Biden at #14,018.

Biden's book did debut at the top of the bestseller list. It may be performing badly on Amazon because people aren't really buying the book to read it. They're buying access to Joe Biden.

Joe had gotten better at selling books. Not because of what was inside them. But by selling himself.

When Marty Walsh, a good friend of Biden, won the election to run Boston, his 1,500 inaguration guests all got copies of Biden's book. Mayor Walsh claimed that helping prop up Biden's multi-million book contract so he could afford a 12,000 foot estate with 9 bathrooms was a way of spreading his message about "the importance of the middle class and bringing people together".

The University of Utah hosted Biden as its keynote speaker. Instead of paying him, it bought 1,000 copies of his book to give out to students. Biden's people pushed this story in the media as if it were a charitable act. The book purchase was funded by a grant from the O.C. Tanner Company.

O.C. Tanner spent $160,000 on lobbying in 2018.

Biden's books hadn't become more interesting a decade later. Promises to Keep had faltered because he had been a longshot candidate. Promise Me, Dad copies were moving, not so much because people were reading them, but because they were a vehicle for gaining access to the 2020 Dem nominee.

His book tour consisted of selling tickets to hear him discuss his book and get an autographed copy.

His American Promise tour included a copy of Promise Me with every ticket sold. At a D.C. bookstore, a VIP package of $448 got you a chance to meet Biden and a signed copy of the book. A VIP package in Austin, Texas, got you a signed copy and only went for $325.

Meanwhile, actually hosting Biden was a nightmare. The University of Buffalo paid Biden $200,000 to give a speech. CAA, one of Hollywood's biggest talent agencies, which represents the likes of Robert Downey Jr, Sandra Bullock, and Johnny Depp, had the university sign a contract in which "the Artist" was to receive a "full-length mirror", a meal of angel hair pomodoro, a fridge with 3 different kinds of sodas, and a ban on any "projectiles that can be thrown". Excepting, apparently, copies of his book.

Because, booksellers would be selling copies of Promise Me, Dad on site.

Speakers using book giveaways as part of, or in place of, their honorarium, is nothing new. But Biden, like Hillary, appeared to be blurring the line between public speaking and monetizing a future candidacy.

Biden's book sales promoted his candidacy, put millions in his pocket and allowed individuals, organizations and special interests to potentially trade access in exchange for buying his book. When a company with lobbying interests sponsors a 1,000 book buy, it's indirectly providing a benefit to Biden. Would it be doing so if Biden hadn't been a serious presidential prospect in 2020?

And would Macmillan have signed Biden to such a generous contract any other way?

Promise Me, Dad had sold 302,000 copies by the spring of 2019. The list price was $28 a book, but Walsh had only paid $12 a copy for his 1,500 copies. Bulk discounts probably applied to other sales.

Jill Biden's follow-up, the second book in the multi-million contract series, Where the Light Enters: Building a Family, Discovering Myself, came out in May and sold some 7,000 copies.

Maybe it's just me, but that looks like a flim flam man to me.  Corruption 101.  Joke and Jill Buydon have whored themselves to the highest bidder, including the Chinese.

This post is way too big for Old Socialist. He's never read this much in one sitting.
