My theory is that Biden needs to stay president because he’s broke and this is the only way he can afford to have housing and benefits

He almost sold his house because he couldn’t afford Beau’s medical bills which prompted Obama to give him a loan lol

Despite being the Delaware senator, friend of credit card companies for 40 years, he never did manage to figure out how to make money from it and just did it for the love of the game

I think that's the most horrible thing about him. He's either so stupid he never figured out how to make a buck for being the trained clapping seal of capital, but then theres the horror answer; he's been a true believer the whole time and never demanded a pay check because all the horror, the slavery, the death, the slaughter, he did it because he believed it was the right thing to do.

Third option: he's never taken the buck because he wanted to stay squeaky clean because deep down he believes he's supposed to be president

"Hey, guys I've been doing your bidding for decades. What will you do for me?"

They tell him they sent $10,000 to a pro-Biden PAC that they control. But did they really? No. Some execs went to Vegas instead. And he sends them a "Thank you" note.
