Judy Wallman, a professional genealogy researcher in South Dakota, was doing some personal work on her own family tree. She discovered that President Joe Biden’s great, great uncle, Remus Biden, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Texas in 1889. Both Judy and President Biden share this common ancestor.

The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows in Galveston, Texas. On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this inscription: "Remus Biden horse thief, sent to Galveston State Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Galveston & Southern Flyer six times. Caught by Texas Rangers, convicted and hanged in 1889."

So, Judy recently e-mailed the President for information about their great, great uncle, Remus and a few days ago President Biden's staff sent this response back:

Remus Biden was a famous cowboy in Texas in the 1880s. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Galveston & Southern railroad. Beginning in 1885, he dev**ed several years of his life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Texas Rangers. In 1889, Remus passed away suddenly during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed.

Now THAT, folks, is how it's done in politics!

Actually the problem we are currently facing is expertly presented in your post. However it is not as you state “spin.” The problem is the unaccountable spread of lies. This post although a ham handed attempt at humor is presented as fact. It is in fact a lie designed to disparage the presidents ancestors and falsely accuse him of misleading the public about this fictitious claim. None of any of it is true but that aside there are a group of half bright imbeciles who will pass it around like a case of clap in a Tijuana whore house.

Apparently you didn't read the last sentence oh woke one that clearly alluded to the post's humor. Sorry that you're too ignorant to realize that and are jealous that you didn't post something similar about the man that is embedded in you little pea-pickin'n what I would loosely call a brain.
