Late in December 2025, Linda Stevenson, 64, was found nonresponsive at her home, and later pronounced dead. Today, her husband, who was married to Jill Biden in the early 1970s, was arrested for her murder. Further details are skimpy, probably due to the very nebulous connection-to-high-profile status of the suspect and victim. TBH, at his age, dementia is not unlikely, and I sure hope it was a factor.
When I heard about it on NBC News, a reporter read an excerpt of her 2019 autobiography, where she said, in so many words, that she didn’t feel like she could be herself with him. She was just 18 years old when she married him, and thankfully they didn’t have any children.
I had also wondered how The Other Side might view this, and discovered in the meantime that in recent years, he did at least one interview with Newsmax . Go figure.
I also decided not to post this in the politics thread because it really isn’t a political story.
How soon can we expect the first “Jill Biden’s Husband Arrested For Murder” headlines?
Ten paragraphs down they’ll explain it was her first husband.
Seeing that this guy and Jill Biden were divorced 50 years ago, the celebrity connection seems a bit tenuous.
Maybe Trump will try to rev things up with one of his inimitable late-night shitposts on social media. He likes to try to manipulate tragic events for revenge on those he doesn’t like.
He’s not nearly smart enough to think up a clever angle on that, unless one is suggested to him by one of his sycophants. But even that might take time, because intelligence isn’t their strong suit. More likely might be an outright lie, maybe something like “How do we know that Joe Biden didn’t kill Linda Stevenson, and then frame William for the murder out of jealousy?”
From the FWIW department, I just looked on Givesendgo to see if anyone started a fundraiser for his bail money. So far, nobody has, but there was a J6er who said he couldn’t find any job other than Door Dash since he got out of prison for “peacefully protesting” and yeah, he’d raised a(n un)tidy sum.
He didn’t apply to the right places. I’m sure that he’d easily get a job with ICE – this is exactly the kind of “peaceful protester” that they’re looking for!
One wonders if THEY also rejected him!
