    In "legalese" terms, you're right! Oh, hell, Hunter himself made it pretty clear that Daddy was "Big Guy" in a whole series of influence-peddling rackets around the world, but the legal "Mt. Everest" that Republicans have to climb is in finding evidence that will stand up in Congress (for impeachment), and/or for other actions that would be undertaken in an American court of law. The "legalese" is all that matters, so, advantage goes to Joe Biden!

    It gets even worse for Republicans, because even though the alleged influence-peddling was handled in a rather stupid and careless way, "Big Guy" was given a modicum of 'plausible deniability' -- and -- as far as "impeachment" is concerned, Repubs must prove "high crimes and misdemeanors" committed while Joe is/was a sitting president. That means that all the influence-peddling and corruption crap he's supposed to been involved in (one way or another) as VICE-president doesn't matter! :eekeyes: ..Republicans can base impeachment charges only on events from January 20, 2021 onward....

    Oh, and then, even if by some miracle Republicans were actually able to get Joe impeached in the House, the whole "removal from office" thing would die a very quick death in the Democrat-controlled Senate, no matter what kind of evidence the Republicans could provide....

    Yes there is hard evidence the family was engaged in illegal activity which he helped facilitate and profitted from it even though that is not a requirement under the federal bribery laws. The House JUST RECENTLY started their formal inquiry so to claim Biden and his family innocent because the Reps haven't filed their final report is utter hogwash.

    Okay, hot shot, what is your evidence that Joe was trying to protect his son by getting Shokin fired? The evidence will have to show that Shokin was investigating Burisma corruption and that corruption implicated Hunter.

    I'll be waiting. And, just a hint, it had better be something other than Shokin's word for it.

    These 'lies' as you call them are trivial nitpicks. When Joe Said he was at 9/11 'the next day', though technically it was 9 days later he visited, note that on the 9th day it looked EXACTLY as it did on 9/12, which IS the salient point, and this is the kind of making hay out of straw you are doing out of HATRED for joe Biden, but compared Trump, who has shaken confidence in American Democracy to some 74 million people, Biden is as choir boy in comparison.
    All trivial pursuits, all presidents hype.

    Clearly, we get it, you HATE Joe Biden, it oozes out of every pore in your body.

    Nothing Comer and his clowns have produced implicates Joe Biden.


    Nothing. Don't believe me, put something up and I will explain it to you. I've looked at all of it.


    Not knowing the nature of Hunter's business does not implicate Joe Biden.

    Do we know the nature of the business of every 'consultant' in the land? No. Are they guilty of something? There is no way to draw such a conclusion. Same goes for Hunter.

    There is not the slightest thing wrong, let alone unlawful, for a president or his companies (or for that matter a congressperson and their companies, or a judge and his companies) to receive payments for services from a foreign entity. The question of the Bidens is not whether they received payments from foreign entities, it is whether they were compensated for bona fide services. Whether Trump's or Bidens' payments look bad is just a question of political whore-mongers.

    In spite of all your dancing around. Biden is a liar. He lies frequently, sometimes for no good reason.

    Everyone? you mean right wing partisans.

    He isn't the problem, Trump is.

    Biden's fibs are trivial and hurt nothing.

    Biden's deeds are rebuilding America.

    Trump's lies destroys democracy.

    Trump's deeds create chaos.

    I focus on the real danger to America.

    Donald Trump

    That's what you call, 'substantive'.

    They are not "fibs". They are lies.

    The definition of lying is saying something which is not true and knowing it is not true. Either he either knows his stories are not true or he does not know his stories are not true. If he knows they are not true, that is lying. If he does not know they are not true, he has severe dementia.

    Who is "we"?

    It is not complicated. Whether I hate him or not changes nothing. He lies a lot.

    It's like people read something in English and translate it into an entirely different language.

    Why strive so hard to put words in other people's mouth?
