Not to mention the vending machines that accept cash but refuse to give you your change OR your candy bar.

Not only that, but he has to pay the state tax on it, which he can take as a credit against his Delaware personal income tax.

It's Yuge!!! And with those big hands, he's got to be hiding something else...

Maybe he won't report the income, maybe it wasn't 2 quarters, but two Half-dollars, you never know....


I'm going to miss Biden. I am curious to know what his next chapter will bring.
