Joe Biden was never smart.
When I interned in Congress for two summers many years ago, other congressional members openly referred to him as one of the dumbest men on Capitol Hill. Staffers and interns, including ones who worked for Democrats, made fun of him.
Old age and dementia have done this dull man no favors. That was apparent over the weekend when Biden, stupidly even for him, went off script and called for regime change in Russia. It also was apparent a few months ago, when Biden may have precipitated the war by, according to President Zelensky's account of their phone call, encouraging Ukraine to apply

No, he wasn't. The man has always been a racist and maybe even a segregationist in his youth. He's on record saying some less than polite things. Then to give a speech in a presidential race that you attempt to pass off as your own? Wow.

No.
I remember Bidet's Presidential run when he was lying about his resume and plagiarizing speeches. Back then Demonrat leadership knew the fool they had and told him to get the hell outta the race, which he did. Fast forward and leave it to Obola to pick a doofus clown for his Veep. In hindsight I'm wondering if Obola wanted Bidet just because of the crime family. I'm also wondering just how much Obola knew about Joe's "business" and when he knew it. Same question about Hillary too.

Don't forget the most open and obvious racist bigot since LBJ.
And he gets a pass, as they all do.

The only thing Joe is competent at is corruption.

No. Not very smart ever. Insecure, he had to make up stories to bolster himself, never realizing that those who heard them knew they were made up. He was a bully when he headed the Senate Judiciary Committee. Although he hung on to being a Catholic, he had no core. No real belief. Just something more to put on with his suit and tie. He is and always has been weak and untrustworthy.

#2, please give the Kennedy family their share of credit for choose Biden as VP for Obama. It was Caroline Kennedy who "vetted" him and recommended him. Obama and the Dems are so caught up in the "Kennedy mystique" and Camelot fantasy, that her word was valued, when, in fact, she seems to have very limited experience outside her elitist society bubble.

He can't be that dumb. He was able somehow to convert a public service job into multi millions for his family, friends, and political cronies.

Joe Biden entered the Senate the year I graduated high school. My entire adult life I have watched Joe Biden be the laughing stock of the Senate. Democrats brushed off all his stupid comments with "Thats just Joe being Joe". This guy has been a buffoon for 50 years.

A valid indication of his true degree of competency, and his own Party's awareness of it is...He never ran, because he never could have been elected, in his actual home-state of Pennsylvania.
(he only ever talks about Penna, seldom if ever even a mention of Delaware)
In NONE of his dozen or so elections since the age of 28...he has never had a Job outside of elected office... has he ever received more than 165,000 votes, most elections he was around 114,000. Mid sized city mayors need more than that to win.

He's been competent enough to launder money from the US Treasury to his family via investments in other countries.
10% for the big guy.

The 1988 presidential campaign proved that Joe wasn't only stupid, but a plagiarizer. It sunk his campaign and led to his exile in the senate where he continued to exercise his stupidity. We knew. But... Mean Tweets.

If by "competent" you mean prickly arrogant, vicious asshat prone to bald-faced lies and gaffes, yes.

Biden is called Mr. 1%. That explains him politically, but not in the money corruption department....he's Mr. 10% with millions of $$$$ made over the years. So he's smart enough to rake in the bribery money.

As long as Biden remained in the US Senate, which is an old boys club, it did not matter if Biden was dumb as a stump, as the Senate “UniParty” takes care of their members. That is as long as the big banks incorporated in Delaware ensured that Biden, their political tool, kept being re-elected, Biden was home free. Clearly one of the most important tasks that Trump accomplished during his sojourn in DC was to “out” the “UniParty” vast operation in DC.

Not only stupid by slimy as well. I saw video of his behavior at the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings and he was cringe worthy; an oily smile on his face while he insulted and assaulted Thomas.

He is the kind of stupid who used his Senate seat to peddle influence and line his pockets. He has been selling us out for almost 50 years. I think the REAL stupid is the electorate of Delaware for keeping him around for so long.

As someone who has spent the majority of my adult life in the DC area and has always been a keen follower of politics, I know who these politicians are, and during the election I told everyone I could that Joe Biden is, always has been, and always will be a blithering moron. But I guess too many were willing to take a blithering moron over a mean Tweeter who was otherwise competent. We're paying the price for that now. And as I've posted before, put a re***d in power and re*****d schiff is gonna happen.
