Biden:
◾Drafted the core of the Patriot Act in 1995
◾Voted for the war in Iraq
◾Is one of the key politicians inflaming the Ukraine crisis and provoking Russia … and his son stands to profit handsomely from the chaos
◾Falsely claimed there was “no doubt” that the Syrian government had used chemical weapons on its own people … when the facts were otherwise
◾Is the consummate insider, defending Wall Street bailouts and the Trans Pacific Partnership, persecuting whistleblowers, trying to outlaw encryption and privacy, and backing other corrupt policies...
◾Backed bankruptcy legislation that made bankruptcy much harder to do
