Maybe Biden has a side hustle as a part-time neurosurgeon with Sanjay Gupta, Joe seems to have some steady hands!

Mansion? It's a big home but I think we have vastly different definitions of a mansion.

His speaking fee was roughly 100k and he made about 4 million that way. His book royalties were about 10 million.

So yes, that’s it. Most ex-Presidents and vices make similar speaking fees. Perhaps you should do the most basic research and rail against them, also? Or is that not as fun for you?

Biden is doing well, but nothing outrageous. Neither of his homes are what I would call "mansions". There are plenty of what are basically tract houses in my are that are worth well over $1 million and $2.7 million doesn't get you much of a beach house in Delaware. I have more than a few coworkers who are much younger than Biden whose net worth are close to his. Two married software engineers in their early 50's would typically have a household income of $500K, which is more than enough to own a few million dollars worth of real estate and a couple of Corvettes. I don't see anything particularly suspicious about Biden's wealth. He's still a worthless air head, but his net worth is fairly easy to explain.

Agree. Neither of Biden's homes qualify as a mansion. Too nice to be called a McMansion, but far from an actual mansion.

Jared and Ivanka story, but nice try!
At any rate, Trump did take advantage of hotel stays for staff, but I'm not talking about Trump. He deserves criticism where it's due.

But tell us about Biden, since this thread is dedicated to that clown.

Too much wealth. He needs to downgrade his lifestyle and move to a rowhome in inner-city Wilmington (preferably a high crime area, and preferably without a car so he can depend on public transit), so he can live the Democrat dream -- which is what they want for the rest of us.

Practice what you preach, and all that.

Thats a great cover to explain a politicians wealth. LOL


Its common sense that no one goes into public service to get rich, it also doesnt take a rocket scientist to see how these lawmakers obtain this kind of wealth either...they are 'bought and paid for' by special interests...its that simple.


Im not sure why anyone even tries to suggest there is no corruption in our govt? The US is the most corrupt nation on the planet.

It is obvious that corruption paid for that house. The man has never worked a day in his life. He produced nothing, he provided no service, he invented nothing, all he has ever been is a politician.....50 years of lying and cheating.

This is why we must have term limits folks, Biden is the poster boy for their necessity.
Nailed it!!!
