Welcome to politics. You don't reach elite levels without being a self promoter and rip off artist. Trump is just a face in a crowd, with enough Karens pointing fingers to make it appear hes "different."

If only it were just Hunter selling he illusion without Joe's knowledge.

But participating in 2 dozen phone calls (those are just the ones that Archer knows about) is clear evidence that Joe was also actively selling the "brand", not an unwitting participant.

Even for you, this has to be getting frustratingly hard to sell...

when you hear Burisma boys needing help with a prosecutor

They didn't need help with a prosecutor. They already had prosecutor Shokin in their pocket.

There was no active investigation of Burisma ongoing in December 2015. Shokin had already deactivated the Burisma investigation.

Moreover, Shokin had already shown he was in the pocket of Burisma when he kept $23.5 million of Zlochevsky's (Burisma President) money from being seized by UK authorities by delaying providing information to the court.

The Bidens’ former business partner Devon Archer told lawmakers Monday that President Biden’s family “was in the business of influence peddling” and that Mr. Biden’s 20-plus phone calls into business meetings were central to son Hunter Biden’s strategy for cutting lucrative deals.

Then-Vice President Biden was central to securing some of those deals by stopping by or calling into meetings that his son Hunter was conducting with executives from overseas firms.


Where did you get that quote from?

Surely from a Republican lawmaker who was "paraphrasing" Archer's testimony.

How about a link?

BTW kids, this is why the House GOP has no balls. Allowing this Archer hearing to have gone on behind closed doors provides this manner of retardation in the flailing attempt to defend the indefensible.

Per Archer, Hunter Biden was basically just selling his name.

so did Billy Carter and Ron Reagan Jr. Just the latest in a very, very long line of presidential offspring, siblings and collateral relatives who have taken advantage of their position.

as far as I can tell, the only real difference is that Hunter Biden is the biggest trainwreck of them all.



Thank you Hanky. Just when people begin to entertain the idea of you not being the most shitty of posters, with some of the most idiotic takes imaginable, you come off the top rope with a doozy like this.

As far as you can tell, the only real difference is that Hunter Biden is the biggest trainwreck of them all, huh? The fact that Hunter actually had Dementia Joe intimately involved in taking tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign entities like the Ukranian oligarchs and Communist Chinese doesn't weigh into this nonsensical and utterly vapid position of yours?

Feel free to list off the foreign entities and amounts, to the nearest million, that Billy Carter, Ron Reagan Jr., or any other relative received. I'll wait.

You really DON'T grasp that these are not the only options, do you?

Fascinating.

Get through this thread and come back and report to the class what you've learned.

Burisma hired a lobbyist, Blus Star Strategies, to lobby Ukrainian and American officials on behalf of Burisma and its president, Zlochevsky.

Billy Carter sold beer and Ron Reagan Jr. is a radio host and political analyst. They actually earned their money ethically and legally.

Hunter, not so much.

You’re pathetic.

Obviously so. For years here you have grabbed your ankles, carrying water for marxist democrats at every opportunity. But proudly posting today, with Hunter Biden balls deep down your throat, should make you want to crawl into a hole somewhere and die.
