    Ya it sucks when a major media outlet just throws unfounded claims out at you smearing your name in public, doesn't it?

    Wake me up when you have an executive producer admitting to fabricating news out of spite.

    Cause only then would your outrage be warranted.

    That Had NOTHING to do with Biden "Influence Peddling"...:bored:
    ^A FACT Which has been PROVEN (ad nauseum)...
    And, Everybody KNOWS it is BS...
    "Biden Getting the Ukrainian prosecutor fired" is Total BULLSHIT!
    ^It falls in the Same Category of BS found (below):
    Just another one of those Ridiculously Idiotic MISCHARACTERIZATIONS that make the rounds at partisan websites...
    Complete BULLSHIT...
    Things like:
    People saying Harris called Biden a Racist...
    ^THAT Is Complete BULLSHIT....
    Harris NEVER Called Biden a "Racist". Period!
    Harris prefaced her attack in the June 27, 2019, debate by telling Biden, "I do not believe you are a racist."
    The Exact Quote:
    "I do not believe you are a racist.”
    _________
    Then, there are the Utterly Misinformed Purveyors of Ludicrous MISINFORMATION...
    For Example--That take THIS Statement by Hillary:
    Here is what she said, in Early September 2016:
    You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables..."
    FACT : The US Population in 2016 was 323 Million
    FACT: Trump received almost 62 Million Votes in 2016
    FACT: HALF of that Amount is 31 Million
    FACT: 31 Million is LESS Than 10% of 323 Million
    ^And, even given those FACTS:
    Every now and then, people are observed...
    ...making the Luducrous, Embarrassing, Self-Owning "Claim" That:
    Hillary called "HALF The Country Deplorables"
    Conclusion:
    In General Terms (and, this applies to BOTH Sides RW and LW)
    Repeating Mischaracherized Bullshit is a Complete Self-Own!

    Did she play the race card and imply she was that little girl who suffered by Biden’s racist policies? Is Jill Biden, you know her as the woman who wears dresses made from old Volkswagen van seat covers, pissed, and still pissed, that Harris dealt the race card?

    I would go even farther. Is it ok for someone in the federal government to accept anything from a foreign government?

    What say you?

    Tucker is giving his opinion on an event that happened. For this to be comparable to what CNN had done, January 6 would not have even happened.



    Willfully ignorant.

    If the 'business dealings' were legitimate then why wasn't the money wired direct to one of the Biden's accounts. Why the run around through Walker?

    Maybe they were completely unrelated transactions. Did that ever occur to you?

    Two words. Full disclosure. I'd even be willing to allow them to keep some of the gifts. But in exchange they would have to recuse themselves from any policy decisions relative to that country. Which includes lobbying for them.

    But this isn't in the same category of profiting from influence peddling. Especially when it appears a family is profiting from the name recognition of a single government employee, like the Biden family. China gave money to Hunter (either directly or through a shell company) and coincidentally China stands to become rich due to Biden's policies on energy (if not other businesses). I call that suspicious and therefore worth investigating.

    If you believe he was corrupt then the conclusions he declared over Burisma and Hunter is suspect.

    No, that was a conclusion pointed out in the report. A conclusion based on the evidence. Hunter's dealings with Burisma may have influenced policies/actions of the Obama/Biden administration.

    Innuendo, guilty by suspicion, hearsay, and so forth. But not one shred of evidence to say the wire transfers were not legitimate transactions. Robinson Walker, LLC is a law firm specializing in Business Law, litigation, estates, and government regulations. So far, the only thing that is common is they do business in China. That is it. But doing business in China is not a crime. just ask Trump, or better yet, ask his daughter Ivanka who had a manufacturing business there. If you think Hunter and Joe are guilty of business schemes, then so is Trump, Ivanka Trump, and other Trump family members who have had business dealings.

    Actually it does if you want to make the argument that doing business in China somehow is illegal or compromised because they had dealings with the CCP, which Trump, Eric Trump, Donnie Jr, and most definitely Ivanka Trump. YOu just can't ignore the one side and then go about and condemn the other side of the same thing. We call that hypocrisy.

    You have to realize, Blues is just another George Santos in the making. And that is not a good thing at all.

    Do you mean like lobbying?

    Corruption, under US standards, indicates either something illegal or nefarious. Either way, neither applies here. This is a fishing expedition by the GOP who have no idea what they are doing.

    Trump tried and failed to get a casino and hotel in Macau, the Las Vegas of the East. Meanwhile, Ivanka Trump had a manufacturing firm that manufactured her clothing and perfume line and then sold those products in the US and Europe. I can guarantee you both had dealings with the CCP there. It is par for the course when doing business in China. Then you have KMPG which has an office in Beijing and I think some additional offices in Shanghai and other Tier 1 and 2 Cities. Are they suspected now? Unless there are sanctions with individuals of that country, like what we have with Russia and to some extent China, it is not a question of who that person is or their political affiliation.

    I would beg to differ. When Trump had his Washington DC hotel when he was POTUS, foreign governments paid far above the FMV of hotel rooms and suites at that hotel. the question you need to ask is why would they do that? I can think of several possibilities, but even those possibilities is not evidence. But one thing is for sure, he had motive, means, and opportunity to make sure those payments, or a "finder's fee" would get to his personal account. Furthermore, the foreign governments had to do that in order to have a chance at talking to Trump or meeting with him on certain issues and to get him to agree. Trump is the type of guy that looks at everything that he thinks is his or potentially his. We saw this with his statements about classified documents when he alluded that they should belong to him as personal documents even though they were government documents, namely those Kim Jung Un letters to him.
