Think about Joe Biden's state of mind right now. He spent his entire adult life trying to become President and now his own party is begging him not to run for re-election.
Biden first started talking about his goals of becoming President in the 70's. He spoke of how it was his destiny. He started calling Reagan a racist in the mid 80's. He perfected one speech, a speech of division. In preparation for his 1988 campaign, Biden memorized speeches given by a politician from England, banking on the fact that nobody would realize those words were not his. He lied about his academic record, he even plagiarized MLK Jr. and RFK. He was found out and forced to drop out.
After the 1988 race Biden staked his entire career on law and order. From the moment he dropped out of the 1988 race Biden began preaching "more cops, more prisons." Every speech he gave on the Senate floor in the following years was about locking people up and being tougher on crime. He proudly claimed that he had added 50 new death penalties and 100 new minimum sentences for drug offenses. He bragged that every single drug or crime bill from the 80s and 90s had his name on it.
He began his campaign for the 2008 race for the Presidency by having to apologize for racist remarks he had made about Obama. During this campaign he bragged about his crime bill, opposed government healthcare, argued for the need to build a wall, and stated multiple times that illegal immigrants were destroying American cities. He was fully against sanctuary cities. He called them dumps. His campaign got no traction and he dropped out early into the race.
From the moment Biden dropped out of the 2008 race he began vying for the VP spot. Even though he disagreed with many of Obama's positions, once he was selected as VP he engaged in an unprecedented amount of ass kissing. "Yes boss. Sure boss." That's how Biden spent his eight years as VP. Biden sucked it up because he thought it would bring him closer to the Presidency.
Unfortunately for Biden, Obama chose Hillary over him as his successor. Biden absolutely wanted to run in 2016. His son died in 2015 and two months after Beau's death Biden leaked to The NY Times that his son's dying wish was for him to "prevent the Clintons from getting into the White House again." Biden campaigned heavily in the summer of 2015, right after his son had died. The support, however, was not there. In 2016 Biden announced that he would not run because he was still grieving the loss of his son. This was complete BS as he had just campaigned on his son's "dying wish."
Before the 2020 race Biden made a decision to say and do anything needed to get elected. His 2020 campaign was one of the most pathetic campaigns in American political history. He made ridiculous claims and ridiculous promises.
From 2017-2019 Biden had repeatedly said that he was not running for President in 2020. Charlottesville happened in 2017 and Biden spent the two years after claiming that he was not running in 2020. In the summer of 2019 his story changed and he claimed that he had to run because of Trump's comments on Charlottesville. Before this, Biden had little support among Democrats, they were actually begging him not to run. He needed an excuse to run and his team found the perfect one, knowing that the Trump hating media would not call him out on the Fine People Hoax.
Biden advocated for taking out Saddam well before the Iraq War. As Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee Biden blocked the testimonies of anyone opposing the war. Years after the war began, after no WMDs were found in Iraq, Biden went on TV and defended Bush. Biden argued that all administrations lie a little to gain support for war. In 2020 however, Biden claimed that George Bush had tricked him into supporting the war. Even Bernie Sanders laughed out loud at this claim.
In 2020 Biden disavowed his signature crime bill, the literal crown achievement of his 45 year political career, claiming that he never supported minimum sentencing or building new prisons. This was obviously a lie as he had spent an entire decade bragging about instituting minimum sentencing and building new prisons.
In 2020 Biden promised anything to anyone that would get him support. No more deportations. Free college. Free healthcare for illegals. A completely new criminal justice system. Defunding the police. Tearing down Trump's border wall. A pseudo apology for allowing Anita Hill to be harassed. In 2020 Joe Biden disavowed his entire political history. He gave multiple eulogies for George Floyd. During the debates he told Kamala Harris that he never opposed busing. This was a lie. Biden said anything, no matter how ridiculous, to get himself elected. He even reinvented his son Beau's "dying wish" to help him get elected. Biden knew that running for President would bring exposure to his son Hunter's criminal past but it didn't matter to him. Joe Biden had to become President.
Two months into his Presidency Biden claimed that he had united the country. During his first speech outdoors he was greeted with a "Fvck Joe Biden" chant. He was visibly angry. His dream of 48 years was to be greeted as a savior of this country and from the beginning of his Presidency, the American people rejected him.
Biden set his Justice Department on taking down Trump and yet he has watched as every indictment of Trump has brought his opponent more and more support. Biden is now up for re-election and his own party is begging him to drop out of the race. His opponent is deeply loved while he has been rejected by his own people.
Biden spent his entire career claiming that his was poor. He accumulated massive wealth while in office and instead of being home enjoying it with his family, he is being rejected and humiliated by his own party. Biden's legacy will be a lesson for future generations on the dangers of becoming addicted to power.

"President Trump let the Bush wing of the GOP run all of his agencies.": Was Ben Carson part of the "Bush wing"?
"All of Trump's support for farmers went to Big Ag conglomerates.": This is not true. A large portion went to conglomerates but at a very minimum, by all accounts, at least 50% went to small farmers.
"We got a tax cut for Jeff Bezos.": This is a Democrat talking point. Even The NY Times looked at it and determined that Trump's tax cut reduced taxes for almost everyone.
"Rioting and Looting: Trump inflamed tensions.": How exactly did Trump do this? Because the media said it over and over? Biden ran on the Fine People Hoax, a lie meant to inflame racial tensions. He performed his dishonest routine almost every single day. RFK Jr. has no issue with Biden though. Outlets like CNN repeated the Fine People Hoax even though they knew it was a lie. Why? To inflame racial tensions. Democrats wanted the country to burn before the election so why is RFK Jr. pretending otherwise? Day after day Biden told Black Americans that they are not safe in the streets because of white supremacy. While Trump was calling for the end of the violence, Democrat politicians were cheering the riots on. It was Biden who claimed that Antifa was an "idea" as they tore the country to pieces. And under his presidency, HATE CRIMES HAVE SKYROCKETED UNDER BIDEN. They have reached an all-time high. In other words, there was much less racial tension under Trump than under the current President. Why doesn't RFK Jr. talk about that?
"Trump bragged about arming Ukraine more than Obama did.": He sure did, and you know who approved of his decision? Joe Biden. In 2018 Biden said that Trump's decision to arm Ukraine was the right decision and claimed that he was begging Obama to do it. RFK Jr. did you know that? But Trump giving Ukraine weapons wasn't a deterrent claims RFK Jr. and that it caused Russia to attack Ukraine? RFK leaves out everything that happened during the Obama administration including the coup America completed in 2013. Russia went into Ukraine during the Obama presidency and the Biden presidency, not the Trump presidency, but RFK Jr. blames Trump. Does that make sense to anyone?
Trump did appoint some neocons like John Bolton but he also fired them. It was John Bolton, the neocon, leading the charge to impeach Trump. Remember that?
"Trump killed an Iranian general.": Yes. So what? What did that cause? Biden gave them 6 BILLION dollars. Did RFK Jr. complain about that?
"Trump failed to fulfill his promise of ending the war in Afghanistan.": Didn't Biden blame every bad thing that happened during the Afghan withdrawal on the fact that Trump made a deal and had the withdrawal planned and scheduled for 2021? Biden gets to blame Trump but Trump gets no credit for scheduling the withdrawal?
"Trump invented lockdowns.": This is the craziest of them all. There is not one human being alive who said in 2020 that Trump was fighting to lockdown the country. Everybody, from Chris Cuomo to Fauci to RFK Jr. complained on TV in 2020 that Trump was trying to open the country too soon. During the Presidential debates Trump was asked repeatedly why he was fighting to open the country. Biden repeatedly accused Trump of not listening to Fauci's recommendations to keep the country closed. You will never find a clip of the media accusing Trump of wanting to keep the country locked down in 2020 but there are dozens if not hundreds of clips of Fauci going on TV and complaining that Trump was ignoring his orders. Regardless of the few times that Trump talked about lockdowns that folks like to point out, Trump explicitly stated that he was leaving it up the governors. I've posted dozens of clips of governors saying that Trump left the decision to them. Meanwhile Fauci now states that he never called for lockdowns, even though there are so many clips of him doing that exact thing. The fact of the matter is that every human alive knew in 2020 that Trump based his re-election chances on opening the economy. Everyone knew that he wanted to open the country. I have posted clips of DeSantis explicitly stating that Trump left the decision to him but it doesn't stop Trump haters from blaming Trump.
"Trump did nothing to stop the opioid crisis.": That's another lie. In 2019 he allocated 1.8 billion to combat the opioid crisis. If RFK Jr. is not a Democrat trying to help Biden, why has he not addressed this issue as it has continued to skyrocket under the current President?
"All of Trump's support for farmers went to Big Ag conglomerates.": Not true.
"We got a tax cut for Jeff Bezos.": The NY Times analyzed it and disagreed.
If there were ever any doubts that Joe Biden uses his son Beau's death for political purposes, this thread should put an end to it.
How Joe Biden used his son's death during the 2016 and 2020 election cycles.
Beau Biden died on May 30, 2015 from brain cancer. It's no secret that Joe Biden was thinking about running for President around that time. Unfortunately for him, Hillary Clinton had decided to run and was by all accounts the favorite to win the Presidency. She announced her candidacy in April of 2015 and had already gained plenty of momentum.
On August 1, 2015, just two months after Beau's death, Maureen Dowd wrote a piece in The NY Times entitled "Joe Biden in 2016: What Would Beau Do?"
In the article Dowd gave the details of Beau Biden's dying wish. It was "leaked" to her that Beau's dying wish was for his father to run for President in 2016 because Beau didn't want the country to fall back under the control of the Clintons. She actually wrote that.
Shortly after, the source of the leak of Beau Biden's dying wish was revealed. It was Joe Biden himself who told Maureen Dowd that his son's dying wish was for him to run for President to prevent the Clintons from regaining power.
JOE BIDEN, JUST TWO MONTHS AFTER HIS SON DIED, USED HIS SON'S DEATH TO PUSH A STORY ABOUT A DYING WISH, TO TEST THE WATERS AND SEE IF DEMOCRATS WOULD SUPPORT HIM INSTEAD OF HILLARY.
The leak had served its purpose. Immediately afterwards people started contacting Biden about running and he began the process of putting together his campaign. Unfortunately for Biden, his campaign never gained traction. Democrats were still rallying around Hillary and in October of 2015, Biden announced that he was not running for President. He said that his family was still dealing with the death of Beau.
