Joe Biden has called for a constitutional amendment to publicly finance elections as he unveils an ethics plan pointed at President Donald Trump. These proposals are to 'ensure that no future president can ever abuse the office for personal gain,' the Biden campaign told NBC News ahead of its formal announcement of reforms on Monday. The ban on private dollars, reminiscent of Biden's first days as a Senator nearly 50 years ago, comes as he has been lambasted by Democrat rivals for his leaning on lucrative fundraising events. The amendment would overturn Citizens United and mean public financing for all campaigns and Biden also proposes to provide

LOL. Obama-Biden busted through all campaign finance limits. Now that his family is loaded - let's change the rules.

The Biden "plan" would leave wide open the real source of big-time corrupt money for politicians (but of course Biden knows that) as set for Peter Schweitzer's book "Secret Empires".

Sorry, Gropey Joe, but the challenger doesn't get to dictate the rules to the Incumbent Prersident.
Now, sit down, shut up, lose graciously, and you will have learned something

Now his pose is no-gain-from-holding-office. Such rectitude! But it is only a hail Mary pass after he was sacked for a huge loss in the campaign bowl.

With government $$$ come government rules and regulations on those dollars.
Democrats want everyone to be like California, particularly when you see their first House bill is to essentially make it easier to cheat, and ensure vote harvesting is allowed throughout the United States.

''FTA: ''These proposals are to 'ensure that no future president can ever abuse the office for personal gain,' the Biden campaign told NBC News...''
Right from the Rat playbook, accuse Republicans of EXACTLY what the Rats are doing. And the ridiculous so-called ''media'' look like a gaggle of bobble-heads going ''yup yup yup, excellent plan. Joe.''

Despite Trump's claims that Biden misused his power in order to protect his son and Burisma Holdings - but there is no evidence to corroborate those claims.
Portion of sworn statement of former Ukraine Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin filed in Ukraine under penalty of purjury.
"The events relating to DF [Dmitry Firtash] and Biden in 2015 reveal the extent of the US Administrations interference with Ukrainian domestic affairs and the eagerness to exercise control with the aim of advancing US interests. An example confirming such interference is me being forced to resign from my role as General Prosecutor solely on the demands of the US Vice President, Joe Biden, because I refused to cease my probe into Burisma (in which Biden had significant interests), and because I never would have agreed to politically motivated, unfounded criminal prosecution [of DF].
There is plenty of evidence of Biden's wrongdoing but nobody has the guts to pursue it so far.

So I get to help finance a campign for candidates I dispise. I lie ina Quota district. I would be helping finance the capaign of a person who blives with all his heart that the only thing wife women are good for is to give him Lewinskis. A conservative in California would have the cinvi duty to finance the campaign of not one but two people they might despise. THis not only rips the guts out of the first amendment but make many of us indentured slaves to those we oppose.

Oh Lordy. A Constitutional Amendment now! That must mean he really, really means it.
Be still my heart.
Here's an idea, Joe. Let people check off a box on their tax return for money they want to donate toward "public financing." Let's see how that goes before you get to FORCE the issue.
Quit, Joe. This is embarrassing.

Back in 2004, I was attempting to schedule an arbitration hearing, and the union representative kept delaying the process.
When I finally was able to hold the hearing, the union representative was apologetic.
She explained that she, along with others in her major union, were assigned to work on the Kerry presidential campaign, but were kept on the union payroll.
Public financing of campaigns would not change that. And Biden, even as brain damaged as he is, knows that.

So, after Joe is caught cheating, he realizes his candidacy is down and time is running out. So he tosses up this hail Mary pass, hoping someone will be persuaded that he's actually ethical. Ha-ha.

Joey must have had a personal conversation with Cuomo who is proposing the same thing, which is nothing more than a waste of taxpayer money and another unfunded mandate. You could even call it the Welfare for Politicians Act. If it wasn't for commie NYC, this state would finally be rid of Cuomo.

Okay, #3- I thought about it and react by telling you to Schiff and fall back in it.
I anxiously await your next order.

Yeah, right. Notice nothing against VP's election. Has anyone looked into Chelsea's or the Obama girls bank accounts? Certainly if Hunter got his $$, they must have gotten something... not to be outdone by Biden.
