It certainly doesn't take much virtue to be able to empathize with someone who's relatives were murdered in the Nazi Holocaust, and yet you somehow have managed to lack this ability.

Theoretically I could do that. Or...I can stay here and work to democratically affect positive change within the system as is my constitutional right as an American citizen, and that is what I'll do.
Trump Tried to Kill Anti-Bribery Rule He Deemed ‘Unfair’
WASHINGTON — President Trump wanted to strike down a law that prohibits companies from bribing foreign officials, calling the ban “so unfair” to American companies, two Washington Post reporters recount in a new book.
In the spring of 2017, Mr. Trump was at a briefing with Rex W. Tillerson, then the secretary of state, and aides in the Oval Office. At the mention of a bribery allegation, Mr. Trump “perked up” and told Mr. Tillerson that he wanted his help in scrapping the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the authors write.
That law, enacted in 1977 and heavily enforced since around 2005, prohibits companies that operate in the United States from bribing foreign officials to obtain or retain business. It has become a major factor in corporate decision-making about operations abroad.
Mr. Trump said that it was “just so unfair that American companies aren’t allowed to pay bribes to get business overseas,” according to the book, “A Very Stable Genius,” by Philip Rucker and Carol D. Leonnig.

Apparently the President who wanted his Secretary of State to scrap the "Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (1977), would now have us believe that he was concerned about the "corrupt" acts of the Bidens in Ukraine - you can't make this up!

By the way, that "Hill" article was written by John Solomon. Why is that important? Because "Solomon pushed allegations that Biden wanted to remove a Ukrainian prosecutor in order to prevent an investigation of Burisma, a Ukrainian company that his son, Hunter Biden, served on; however, Western governments and anti-corruption activist wanted the prosecutor removed because he was reluctant to pursue corruption investigations.[19]" -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Solomon
See post 45 - this is the same President who wanted his Secretary of State to scrap the "Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (1977) the forbids American companies from bribing corrupt officials to secure foreign contracts - Trump can't have it both ways!
I'm sure former VP Biden was less than pleased about the optics of his son making money off of his father's name, but the same could be said about the Trump children and the fact that Donald Sr. has refused to release his income taxes and/or place his assets in a "blind trust" as every other President has done!
I just saw this in the news after making the above post:
Ukraine court forces probe into Biden role in firing of prosecutor Viktor Shokin
We'll see how this turns out.

Not in the least. Joe is still 100 percent more honest, moral and sane as compared to what is currently in the WH. Of course that isn’t a very high bar to clear.
Under normal circumstances, I would never vote for someone like Berniie because I don’t care for him. His policies are too far left for me, and he, like trump, has a following who resorts to smear campaigns and intimidation.
Also, I haven’t forgotten what the previous eight years of having a moral, family man in the WH looked like. Joe was part of that.
There is nothing Joe could do at this point that would convince me he isn’t worthy of running the country. I cannot trust any of the media on the Right or any member of the GOP to not spread disinformation.
1) Irrespective of his fitness to hold office, the election of Donald J Trump was a harbinger that large segments of American society had lost confidence in the nation's traditional political and economic models - within that context Joe Biden represents "yesterday's man," and finds himself on the wrong side of this divide!
2) On the Democratic side of the political spectrum, 5 years ago who would have predicted that after 3 primaries, the Democratic presidential race would be led by an elderly, self-described "democratic socialist" and a young, gay, married man who has emerged from obscurity with a surname even more unpronounceable than "Obama?"
3} I suspect that his inability to cope with the "coronavirus" threat will put the last nail in Trump's political coffin, while making it painfully evident that America needs a universal healthcare system because the current one is too expensive, fragmented and inefficient!
Any healthcare system is only as good as its weakest link and where a contagious virus is concerned, a system that allows millions of uninsured, underinsured and unregistered residents to slip through the cracks places not only them, but the lives of all Americans at risk"

you mean Obama, who voted to allow the murder of children accidentally born alive during a botched abortion?
that "moral" man?
by all means, let's make sure everyone is aware that Biden served as the lackey of the man who voted to murder children
According to the CIA factbook, a government agency with a Trump appointed director, those communist, atheists in Cuba have a lower infant mortality rate than the Trump Administration - despite all of its empty rhetoric about concern for the unborn!
The United States ranks 175th in the world (behind Bosnia and Herzegovina) with 5.30 infant deaths per 1 000 live births.
Cuba ranks 184th (tied with Canada) with 4.30 infant deaths per 1 000 live births.
Actions speak louder than words, and the much maligned Cuban government has put its money where its mouth is by making reducing the infant mortality rate a priority!

I would never say this about any candidate, especially this far out from an election. If I did, I would effectively be allowing my bias to blind me from seeing facts. I would encourage you to keep your vision clear and your options open.

Using a mental disability as a form of insult says nothing about me, but it says something about you. I would suggest that you get psychotherapy. I don't say this to be passive-aggressive or to return insult in kind, because you really would benefit from it. You appear to have lost touch with some aspect of your innate sense of humaneness due to psychological trauma. Psychotherapy could trigger an emotional release that would restore you to rationality.

Infant mortality rates are a reflection of a nation's commitment to care for the unborn - Roe v Wade doesn't prevent this President and his "prolife" supporters from making the reduction of the infant mortality rate a national priority that both Republicans and Democrats would support!

So you're going to blame anything and everything on the president?
