    And still no one has come up with a reason why the WH told Psaki to lie about something the libs on this board say is meaningless.

    How could anyone know what their reason was? Only those who allegedly lied know why. FYI...people lie about meaningless stuff all the time. That's not an excuse....just reality.

    How do you know they lied? Perhaps the dealer told them that.

    In any case, what's the crime? Because if you're ranting about a politician telling a lie, you can do that about any of them, and you'd be at it 24/7. And none of them will even come close to the lies told by your guy, Donald Trump.

    Take a look at the last sentence I quoted. Psaki said ALL PARTIES made a commitment. Who are the parties? Obviously the dealer wasn't one of them. And who told Psaki to say that and why?

    The dealer said in the 2nd contract that was made, he was not to tell Biden who bought the paintings.

    And you have what exactly to refute him other than your knee jerk personal suppositions and conjecture?

    What exactly is it going to take for you to FINALLY realize how corrupt the entire family is when it comes to the political influence of The Big Guy who claimed to know NOTHING NADA ZIP about any Biden family business. Is that claim still operable?

    Apparently you don't know.........the art dealer gets a commission any "profits" come after the commission is paid. So how much profit did Hunter make? What percent profit did he make. Was it an "obscene" profit as Bernie Sanders would call it?

    They lied about it being done as a blind trust and The Big Guys involvement.

    So how about New York prosecuting Hunter for inflating the values of his paintings that's FRAUD, think they'll do that or will they show how partisan them going after Trump has been. Let's see some equal justice.

    Let's put his millionaire best friend who paid the money under oath as to where the money came from. Then the woman who got the appointment.

    It was a SHAM from the getgo. Nothing even in, the now apparently fake, blind trust agreement would have prevent a buyer from text messaging or emailing Hunter and telling him. It was bogus from the start and we now confirm it.

    Why do you still go for this corrupt business on the Biden's part? They are up to their eyeballs in selling access and influence.

    Anonymizing the buyer seemed to work as the dealer states in the 2nd contract. Do you think Hunter should be prohibited from having a job while his dad is president?

    Take another look at my last paragraph. There is no crime, there us no conspiracy, there is nothing but a mosquito bite that the right is trying to turn into a shark attack. A lot of noise over nothing.

    See the last paragraph in #105.

    And fyi, no art dealer would last long in the business if he or she was not expert enough to determine the value of a painting. The dealer was Hunter's buyer, and the buyer sets the price.

    Seriously ... :deadhorse:

    Anyone who actually believes that any of his paintings could have been worth a half a million dollars and that there was no influence pedaling going on here....well, bless your little heart !

    If Biden's corruption is that obvious how is it the Repubs haven't impeached him yet? They've certainly had plenty of time to have done it by now. What gives? What's the holdup? Lets get this going and get him impeached.

    This is a little stinky. Anyone who thinks Biden is squeaky clean is fooling themselves.
    That being said, the most popular alternative is downright dirty.
    I have a novel idea! Why don't we (as a collective group of voters) vote in the primaries and avoid these embarrassing politicians. I'm convinced that if Trump wasn't running, Biden wouldn't either, so if the Republicans can get someone else besides Trump to be the GOP nominee, either Biden would step aside or the new nominee would beat Biden. For Republicans, it would be a win-win.
    Given the circumstances, it still amazes me that people still support Trump for president. They must want ONLY Trump for president and not care about the GOP getting back in the White House.
    Note: this post is not a what-about-ism. The only point to the original post is that Biden isn't a good choice as president, and I'm only pointing out an effective way to avoid him being the next president.

    I couldn't agree more with you. I would love to see an elections without Trump or Biden as the choice. You would think the Repubs would want to get someone elected who has a chance to be in office for eight years instead of just four.
