1992 : Biden Said Bush Should Not Make An Election Year SCOTUS Nomination Posted on February 22, 2016 by stevengoddard In 1992, Joe Biden said that Bush should follow the practice of the majority of his predecessors, and not make an election year SCOTUS nomination. And if he did make a nomination, the Senate Judiciary Committee should not schedule hearings. https://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2016/02/22/1992-biden-said-bush-should-not-make-an-election-year-scotus-nomination/

Thank you so much for posting this article, Brumar. It paints a grotesque picture of a heartless shyster, who has absolutely no compassion for the innocent everyday Americans whom he bilked out of tens of thousands of dollars of their hard-earned money. Just as he appears to be doing in his campaign promises, in the hype with which he attempted to enroll (and succeeded in enrolling) people who wanted nothing more than to better themselves, the depth of his own personal 'endorsements' of his so-called university amounted to statements such as, 'We’re going to have professors that are absolutely terrific; terrific people, terrific brains, successful, the best.' [Remove the words 'terrific', 'gigantic', 'best', and 'great' from this man's vocabulary, and you would be left with someone pretty close to mute.] He claimed, over and over, to be completely involved with the university, having hand-picked the 'professors', and having kept a close watch over the formulation/content of the curriculum, and yet most of his 'professors' turned out to be people he had never met, and, worse than that, they were simply sales associates, with absolutely no educational background at all. Two of these 'professorial experts' even filed for personal bankruptcy during the time they were teaching at this so-called 'university', and few of them were even in the midst of their own business bankruptcy proceedings when they were hired to teach classes on how to get rich in business. As if the empty promises weren't bad enough, and as if bilking hundreds of ordinary Americans (many of whom are plaintiffs in the suits filed against the university) out of tens of thousands of dollars each weren't enough, Trump, to this day, claims that this entire endeavor was nothing more than an altruistic, charitable venture, and that all of his profits would go to charity ... yet Trump himself pocketed $5 million of the $40 million poured into the organization by unsuspecting 'average Americans', enriching his own personal many-billion-dollar coffers at the expense of the 'little people' whose votes he is courting by means of his faux compassion for the American middle class. The 'university' also used constant bait-and-switch tactics, conning their 'students' to invest in more and more expensive 'classes', and instructing them to arrange with their banks to dramatically increase the credit limits on their credit cards so as to be able to afford the (useless) 'classes'. I don't know Donald Trump, but I have listened to his campaign rhetoric. It's very telling. If you take the emotion and passion out of his campaign rallies, remove the signs, the adoring looks, and the mania, type out a written transcript of his spoken words, and then read them to one of his adoring supporters, I strongly suspect that supporter would be highly insulted at being addressed as if she were experiencing her first day of kindergarten. The words 'great', 'best', 'awesome' and 'terrific' go only so far. But for the lack of rhyme, that transcript would read like something by Dr. Seuss. And, when accompanied by nothing more meaningful, the empty words are the sign of a flimflam artist ... a snake oil salesman ... who, like his phony, non-existent hands-on connection to his 'university', bases his candidacy on nothing more than grandiose promises and angry tirades aimed at those who dare question the sincerity or viability of snake oil cures. Just ask the 'students' of Trump University. They'll tell you an earful.
