Joe Biden's 2020 Ukrainian nightmare: A closed probe is revived

Two years after leaving office, Joe Biden couldn’t resist the temptation last year to brag to an audience of foreign policy specialists about the time as vice president that he strong-armed Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor.

In his own words, with video cameras rolling, Biden described how he threatened Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in March 2016 that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if it didn’t immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.

    Stupidly, this isn't what will sink him in the primaries, if he runs. He can't resist fondling little girls, and his "apologies" consist of saying "times have changed". In the #metoo era, he appears incredibly insensitive to female abuse as objects of male interest. I hate to say I agree with progressives, but I have enjoyed the female form as much as any man, but would never treat them with anything but respect. I'm offended by Biden's crooked abuse of power with respect to Ukraine, and I am disgusted by his lame excuses for groping women as "innocent affection."

    Biden has a reputation in and out of DC for not being the sharpest tool in the shed.

    maybe they just want to destroy everyone who doesnt obey them. They would like to put us in concentration camps, but they cant quite get away with that now. So the first step is to keep us quiet

    I agree: the polls tend to skew to Dems. If they Dem candidates can't even beat Trump in a skewed poll that only emphasizes what terrible candidates they are in the first place!

    Yep...although, like all poles...I seriously doubt it...maybe on the demo side but not independence or repubs.

    And what is funny is that according to polling, he was the only candidate who was beating Trump. Of course I doubt the voters knew about this particular extortion scandal - which is precisely what this was regarding his son.

    We are all hoping to see the perp walk, we are already seeing indictments being unsealed with Comey, hiltery, brennen...even obobo under investigation.

    Time will tell but I'd advise, having popcorn and a soft drink ready just in case they are the perps that walk.

    Joe, take your swamp creature groping appendages along with that foot oft in your mouth and slither back into the slime where you came from.
    As long as you don't overspend, you'll be fine living off your veep of Hussein pension along with whatever else wealth professional politicians manage to adsorb somewhat as do amebas.

    Biden is a member of the OLD GUARD (OG) used to using these tactics to get what they want, just like Hillary and Obama have done. There is a reason he never got more than 1% of the vote in the previous two attempts at the presidency.

    He might get the anti-trump vote, but he wont get the millenial democratic vote. He is too much OG.

    The only power the collectivists have is the GUN. We are seeing that more and more in the USA. Political Correctness is only an extension of the GUN, and its aimed directly at free speech.

    Just like Hillary.....he will never serve a day. I would so love to see one of these bastards take the perp walk.....but even though Trump is that second coming.....I don't see it happening.

    It seems to me children should be 'off limits', as should 'first ladies'. They didn't run for President! Mean, ugly, pitiful people picking on family!
