Surprisingly, Joe Biden was the one who first brought up Donald Trump’s recent attacks on him and his son.

President Donald Trump and Joe Biden delved into the pandemic, health insurance and energy in their final debate Thursday night. But for 11 minutes, they detoured down a labyrinthine path of personal charges and countercharges that voters likely struggled to follow.

Biden shot back, painting Trump as a tax-dodging plutocrat whose henchmen rely on Russian adversaries trying to dirty Biden’s name. Biden, for his part, said his release of 22 years of tax returns disprove the idea that any questionable income came his way and that he did not do anything with regard to Ukraine but carry out U.S. policy toward the country.

“His own national security adviser told him that what is happening with his buddy — I shouldn't — actually, I will,” Biden said. “His buddy Rudy Giuliani. He's being used as a Russian pawn. He's being fed information that is Russian — that is not true.” Trump also said that Biden was “selling pillows and sheets” and “I sold tank busters to Ukraine,” but it’s not clear what the president was referring to.

It was a reference to a charge Biden’s campaign has denied: that he held a meeting with an official at the Ukrainian company where Hunter sat on the board. The New York Post claimed the alleged cache of Hunter Biden emails supplied by Giuliani includes evidence of this, but theTrump didn’t go any deeper before the former vice president got to answer. Biden volleyed back with an attack on Trump’s taxes, leaning on reporting from“Russia's paying you a lot.

Welker interjected by posing individual questions, confronting Biden over Hunter’s business in Ukraine. Biden again contended that nothing his son did was unethical and that it didn’t affect Biden’s role in U.S. policy. Biden pointed to testimony of witnesses during Trump’s impeachment proceedings as evidence that “not one single solitary thing was out of line.”

Must have been in his mind. This started with the impeachment

It’s a last attempt of damage control from Biden. Look around you. The tracks of Biden’s connections to China is all in the open because that’s were he hides it. He’s always apologetic about China’s doings - Xenofobia during the outbreak of the pandemic and so on.

Joes position are hard to follow... I’ll repeal the tax cuts but worry not your taxes won’t increase! I would have been better in this crisis but I blame the economic situation in you, also I said the travel ban was xenophobic... I won’t tell voter if I want to pack the courts...

As well he should. He should have laid into him with a pole axe.

Trump never did anything to Biden's children a crack pipe didn't do to them.

He is a fighter who will not put up with Malarky

So what! Where’s Hunter? The $183,000/mo?; 3.5M from Moscow, etc, etc,..Biden evaded it all!
