Biden Inc needs a source of income
2025-05-09

…needs a source of revenue.” Joe’s earning power is not sufficient, and “Hunter does not have great earning capacity.” Joe and Jill Biden’s appearance on “The View” today comes amid these challenges. #JoeBiden #HunterBiden

#17  Remember his little schtick of running onto the stage before a debate? To show how vigorous and energetic he is ? He should bring that back. With a longer runup and a Kramer like skid-stop.

#16  Because of Joe's mental issues, maybe he got scammed.

#14  Daily Mail article has a couple of interesting points, namely that apparently Jill has a secret signal to Joe to shut up when he gets into trouble (anyway is his signature term for either losing his thought or ending a risky comment), and used it to cover for him on the question of cognitive decline.

The second point is the bandage on his hand, the little dot on the vein that can be used to inject an IV when the veins in the arm are too hard to use. It implies they juiced him before the show, and that explains his semi-lucid, spry opening of the performance, and the appearance of Jill midway, to provide cover as he begins to sundown.
This is all about looking for the speaking/book deals and the hint at her "diary" reveals.

#13  Ah, the olde book deal laundry mat.

They should do the Netflix wash as well. Think of it, just a series of 10-15 minute shorts where Brandon is given a Whose Line Is It? topic, and just let him go. I bet the story mapping would be epic.

#11  Report: Bidens Consider $30M Tell-All Book Deal, Including Details from Jill’s Diary

Yeah, they can always get somebody to ghost write a book for them and, sure enough, some friendly publisher will pay for it. Don't count on it flying off the shelves though.

#7  Now that he's been pardoned Hunter could get a boatload of money by writing a tell-all book about who exactly was running the country. But no doubt his sense of honor would prevent him from doing so.

#4  ^ remember, he's got Hunter to support.

#3  His pension from being VP and POTUS plus his pension from the Senate probably comes to over $400k.

But that isn't enough apparently.
