Joe only answers softballs. If you need to know what flavor ice cream he bought---Joe can deliver an answer. If the question is about any major issue---Joe needs either a teleprompter or a few minutes for he and his staff to plagiarize something.

RE: Yikes! Hunter Biden's former partner has flipped. New emails.
Quote:Hunter Biden profited from his father’s political connections long before he struck questionable deals in countries where Joe Biden was undertaking diplomatic missions as vice president. In fact, virtually all the jobs listed on his resume going back to his first position out of college, which paid a six-figure salary, came courtesy of the former six-term senator’s donors, lobbyists and allies, a RealClearInvestigations examination has found.
One document reviewed by RCI reveals that a Biden associate admitted “finding employment” for Hunter Biden specifically as a special favor to his father, then a Senate leader running for president. He secured a $1.2 million gig on Wall Street for his young son, even though it was understood he had no experience in high finance. Many of his generous patrons, in turn, ended up with legislation and policies favorable to their businesses or investments, an RCI review of lobbying records and legislative actions taken by the elder Biden confirms.
That the 50-year-old Hunter has been trading on his Democratic father’s political influence his entire adult life raises legal questions about possible influence-peddling, government watchdogs and former federal investigators say. In addition, the more than two-decades-long pattern of nepotism casts fresh doubt on Joe Biden’s recent statements that he “never discussed" business with his son, and that his activities posed "no conflicts of interest."
No fewer than three committees in the Republican-controlled Senate have opened probes into potential Biden family conflicts. Investigators are also poring over Treasury Department records that have flagged suspicious activities involving Hunter's banking transactions and business deals that may be connected to his father’s political influence.
U.S. ethics rules require all government officials to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest in taking official actions. The Bidens have denied any wrongdoing.
While most of the attention on Hunter has focused on his dealings in Ukraine and China when his father was in the White House, he also cashed in on cushy jobs and sweetheart deals throughout his dad’s long Senate career, records reveal.
"Hunter Biden's Ukraine-China connections are just one element of the Biden corruption story,” said Tom Fitton, president of the Washington-based watchdog group Judicial Watch, who contends Biden used both the Office of the Vice President and the Senate to advance his son’s personal interests.
In each case, Hunter Biden appeared under-qualified for the positions he obtained. All the while, he was a chronic abuser of alcohol and drugs, including crack cocaine, and has cycled in and out of no fewer than six drug-rehab treatment programs, according to published reports. He's also been the subject of at least two drug-related investigations by police, one in 1988 and another in 2016, according to federal records and reports. A third drug investigation resulted in his discharge from the U.S. Navy Reserve in 2014.
This comprehensive account of Hunter Biden’s “unique career trajectory,” as one former family friend gently put it, was pieced together through interviews with more than a dozen people, several of whom insisted on anonymity to describe private conversations, and after an in-depth examination of public records, including Securities and Exchange Commission filings, court papers, campaign filings, federal lobbying disclosures, and congressional documents.

Here is a perfect example of the opposite...
I worked at Merrill Lynch with a young man named Bill Farish. For anyone who doesn't know, William Stamps Farish IV 'carried Bush Sr's wallet' during his presidency... and Sr spent a lot of time at the Farish ranch in Texas during his presidency. The guy made 2k/month to start. We all laughed when he got his first car after returning from DC where he didn't need a car... a Volvo for $399/mo including all maintenance for the 3 year term. He could have afforded anything he wanted, but not on 2k/mo (before taxes). How many single 20 something year old wealthy people do you know who drive volvos? I don't know what he made as an aide to Sr, but I'm sure it was disclosed publicly.

His Dad was who's who in Houston. Who's who in the horse racing business as well. As tied in with the Bushes as the Bakers.
I worked with one of Jim Baker's sons. Very down to earth guy.

Yep. By and large good people by my experience... who could have similarly sold 'access'.

Wowow, I sure wish my dad had political buddies. My first job where I had to pay SS was as a custodian in a grade school during the summer between my junior and senior year of high school.
It's no fun scraping off boogers from under the desks or cleaning toilets. But, hey I was proud that I was able to work in a real job and not delivering newspapers or shining shoes at local bars. I was getting paid a whopping $1 dollar an hour. Whoopee.
