EDITORS—The team discusses Joe Biden’s disgusting career and legacy of racism and warmongering, not to mention shameless corruption. The media is clearly engaged in a rehabilitation job on this genocidal criminal, so it is necessary to expose Biden’s true public face. Ultimately, Biden simply represents the rot that characterizes the US party system, and in particular the Democrats, today’s war party.
