You could actually try to debunk the content. Are you seriously expecting left-leaning media links for Biden scandals?

I don't feel the need to debunk "you know they are lying if their mouth is moving" sources. Find something that isn't a far-right dumpster fire if you want any effort put into it.

Then I guess I don't feel the need to sift through "there's nothing wrong because we didn't find any evidence after not looking" sources to try to please you.

Clicked a random link on that list.

404 not found.

That is the maximum amount of work I'm going to do to indulge this.

Fixed it.

Bumber if Biden was corrupt how the fuck has he been in politics for so long and still isn't that rich?

He became a multi-millionare after leaving the vice presidency, using book deals and speaking fees.

Claims made regarding corruption usually have his family members receiving the money, then buying things for Joe.

but her emails his laptop!

Russia! The pee-pee tape!

I wish to mention that I keep being shocked by the fact that we have slow news days now. That Biden is communicating. That we haven't had a single scandal yet.

As for the Biden administration itself:
Biden's reopening of a Texas "overflow facility", putting "kids in cages" again
Due to Biden admin policy, thousands of border-crossers were released into the US without COVID tests
Biden's CIA pick may have ties to China
Biden's pick for an unemployment program lost 600M of tax payer money to Nigerian scammers
Biden appointed a close associate of Hunter Biden's defense lawyer as Assistant Attorney General

Decided to go through these. A bit quick, so I didn't look for too many sources outside these articles. Feel free to correct me.

Top one isn't kids being taken from parents, it's the reopening of a facility for holding unaccompanied migrant children.

Second is overcrowded facilities forcing migrants to be released without a COVID test, though it seems that additional test kits are being sent to help deal with it.

Third is Biden's new CIA director being the former head of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. They deal with numerous countries, the article simply draws focus to their work with China.

Fourth is technically true, though it wasn't a traditional Nigerian scam. In this case, the scammers were literal Nigerians using stolen identities to falsely claim unemployment and COVID relief. Further, much of the money was later recovered.

Fifth might be a potential conflict of interest if he doesn't follow the usual ethics rules for situations like this.

They're still being "put in cages" as they were with Obama and Trump.

Multiplying, wut?

By the point even the fraudsters peddling that shit more or less dropped it, the hunter laptop count had hit like three or four of the bloody things and was involving claims of chinese intelligence agents and child pornography. It was one of the biggest bloody farces of the election cycle, and horseshit of such magnitude the people pushing the claims would have been on the hook for federal felony charges of they hadn't been lying out their ass.

It didn't get traction with credible news organizations because it was about as legitimate as my tortoiseshell cat's left nut.

But they said it a lot of times, really loudly.  That makes it true.

These aren't really the same situation. The original "kids in cages" scandal was about family separations. Some children being arrested is an inevitable consequence of having immigration restrictions. Taking an absolutist stance against it would require open borders. Since Biden isn't expected to do that, it hasn't been widely reported as a scandal.

The difference is one involves kids being arrested after being sent alone to the US, the other involves deliberately separating families.

All politicians influence who gets access to the money. At the federal, state, county, and town levels... The important thing is that transparency and representation is maintained and not squashed.

To say that Biden or his family or associates benefited from Biden's political influence means nothing without comparison to similar activities by other politicians. It is easy to have a clean record when you have someone scrubbing the records for you.

They're totally still being separated from their parents at the boarder. Biden hasn't gotten around to ending that, yet. What he's done is create a task force for uniting them with family that's already here in the US, if they have any.


Does this count as a scandal?

Biden said on Inauguration Day, "If you're ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot."

A Biden aide did just that to a Politico reporter. Politico discussed this incident with the the White House on Jan 21, the day after Biden made his commitment. It took until a Vanity Fair article reported on today (Feb 12) for him to face consequences: A one week suspension.

Edit: Looks like he just "resigned".

So, if separating kids is a morally objectionable thing, why didn't Trump end such a thing at any point in time?  He had four whole years to reduce it in any way, yet if anything it expanded.

That's the Democratic and media stance, though, not Republican. Trump's stance was that they might not actually be the parent, and are using the child to get in, then send the child back and repeat. Or worse, they're human traffickers. Better to care for them separately, since it's illegal to detain them with adults, and the alternative is to set them both free into the country.
