I'll give you Andrew Johnson and raise you a Warren G. Harding who I would rate as truly the most corrupt in our history. It will likely take a couple of decades for the partisan dust to settle before we know if and where Biden (ant to be fair - Trump) actually fits into that club. Despite his personal issues (quite similar to JFKs), I don't think that Clinton can be considered corrupt while in office. Afterwards, exploiting the Global Initiative against a potential Hillary presidency is another matter. For sheer incompetence, I think the title would have to go to James Buchanan.

My vote goes to LBJ, he bought his first congressional seat, was involved in Jacks demise.

That's a lot of corruption to pack into what...2 and a half years?

Did you mean Jan 6?
Or did I miss something on Jan 8?

Yes but too late to edit.

 

[CoElkHunter]

Yep, Biden is now in Angola. Wonder whose idea that was.

Good for him. Maybe he'll stay there FOREVER! LOL

 

[Tanks]

Wonder if Hillary and Epstein are also on that list.

Epstein is dead, Hilary is safe, if Trump wanted to go after her he'd have done so at his first term.

Has anyone heard of about the real-life Rambo?

This is a big maybe...

What if to gain the Trump's admiration's favor, Zelensky spills the beans about all the Biden crime family's illegal deals and money made from Ukraine.

Maybe old Joe and his criminal relations would not go to jail, but it would ruin the historical record of Biden's presidency!

Small victories...

We could have more than a small victory is all their dirty laundry--proven beyond doubt, of course, were truly aired out through as many outlets as we can manage--it would force all the dumbos who believed the propaganda of "Russia, Russia, Russia" to face the fact they had been hoodwinked. Might deal the MSM blow as well, since they were massively complicit. It would show the Democrat machine for what it is. Kash Patel might claim that as his magnum opus.

A little sarcasm on Epstein, a little humor. It wouldn't be the first time a posthumous pardon was issued.

As for Hillary, as far as I'm concerned, ref: Benghazi, ( and the unsubstantiated rumors/accusations), I believe murder still has no statue of limitations.

If not for Patel and Nunez we would have never known that our own FBI had colluded with the DNC to remove a duly elected president.

Then take it further. If they were successful in removing Trump. We would not have shed daylight on the laundry list of malfeasance and waste.

I’m old enough to remember how the Biden, Ukraine, Russia, China corruption story was Right Wing conspirator nut jobs. Now it’s just. Ho Hum. Biden pardons his son for that whole period.

The Rot is so deep and wide spread. The real concern and reaction in DC isn’t that a Vice President was selling influence. The outrage is that Biden was stupid enough to get caught and shed a light on one of DC politicians many streams of revenue, money laundering and stock trading inside info.

Has anyone heard of about the real-life Rambo?

Yes, my first unit was 1/1 SFG, on Okinawa. Most of the older guys at that time were Vietnam vets and knew many of the guys that did cross border ops. Some brave men in that unit.

Edit: Believe it or not, we actually had a guy whose last name was Rambo, and he eventually became an SGM.

 

[gearguywb]

I remember Rambo when he was a SGM in 7th.

 

[Altitude sickness]

My friend led that group for years.

Biden in Angola. Wonder how much the Big Guy is making off of these deals.

The US International Development Finance Corp. has approved a $553 million loan to the Trafigura-led Lobito Atlantic Railway SA for work on the line. The State Department says the US government and American companies have committed almost $5 billion to projects along the corridor in agriculture, energy, telecommunications and more.

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

Isn’t it a shame that our first instinct is to suspect that these payouts to corrupt regimes in corrupt countries now include our own corrupt regime. Biden has permanently damaged what remaining integrity was left in DC.

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump is considering dropping his nominee to lead the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, and nominating Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in his place, the Wall Street Journal and CBS News reported on Tuesday.

Hegseth's nomination has run into trouble on Capitol Hill over allegations about his personal and professional life and Trump allies increasingly think Hegseth may not survive further scrutiny, the Journal reported. DeSantis, who lost his bid for the Republican presidential nomination to Trump, was on an earlier list of potential defense secretary candidates before Trump decided to go with Hegseth.

CBS News, citing three sources familiar with the transition, also reported Tuesday that Trump is considering selecting DeSantis as a possible replacement for Hegseth.
