The whistleblower's supposed political leanings have nothing to do with the Impeachable crimes the Idiot committed.  It's just diversionary tactics, just like when Hillary blamed a vast right wing conspiracy, when Bill got caught lying and unable to keep it in his pants.  

R's have reached a new low blasting the decorated war veteran who verified the whistleblower's account of the crime by the Idiot.  

If this Eric guy is the Whistleblower, he is a National Hero.

The clown verified nothing, the transcript is out, we know exactly what trump said, these guys saying "IMO trump shouldn't talk like that" and another guy saying "me too" means nothing,

 

The president decides his own foreign policy, the sole role of the rest of govt is to support him, if they disagree with his decision, they should resign.

He's facing an impeachment inquiry because he threatened to withhold aid to an ally, unless that ally investigated one of his political enemies. Of course, he should be facing many more serious charges then this, but Nancy was protecting him. She finally was dragged kicking and screaming to go along with it because this is so obvious, even to people who don't follow this stuff.

Hunter Biden is irrelevant.

If you really cared about political corruption, and If the Idiot was really interested in Political corruption, he would have resigned on day 2, the day after appointing his family members to high administration jobs. He continues to enrich himself by violating the emolument clause. But yeah, Hunter Biden.

You realize that ally has emphatically denied that accusation multiple times. Right?

 

Hunter Biden went from getting kicked out of the military for failing a drug test to making $50,000/month in a matter of a few months. How much of a pay cut do you think Trump's kids took to work in the White House? Hatred makes people extremely illogical.

Why? What in your life has been negatively affected by Trump's Presidency?

 

You don't think we have a responsibility to investigate possible corruption by Biden? If someone from Trump's family was handed the same position as Biden's son just months after rehab, you don't think it should be investigated? Who is supposed to investigate it? The Democrats?

Then investigate. Don't send your senile fukkin personal lawyer to strongarm another country into doing your dirty work for you.

 

The Doj knows and Trump knows the guy didn't do anything or they'd handle it. Instead Turnip sends Roooty and cacels aid trying to get a foriegn government to make a statement on a closed case.

Anytime the national debt grows everyone is affected.

 

Divisive politics weaken the country. Affecting everyone.

Ignoring Infrastructure affects everyone.

 

The country is not better for Trump. It is worse.

 

A lot more voters believe that then don't.

 

Impeachment is just a show and a waste of time.

 

Trump is done.

Because a military dropout has ever started making $50k/month within several months of being dishonorably discharged. Quite normal.

 

So you think people can just waltz into another country, subpoena documents and witnesses, and investigate a crime there? LOL.

 

JFC.

So you say the US has a responsibility to investigate Biden.

 

And then you say they can't.

 

Perfect.

The Hunter Biden story is a troubling tale of privilege

For all his barking and hucksterism, Rudy Giuliani is having limited success drawing the gullible into his sideshow tent. But the fact that Giuliani’s spectacle involving the Biden family is as phony as a horse that does arithmetic does not mean there is no story worth examining. The real story of Joe Biden and his troubled son Hunter is full of pain and littered with questions and deeply relevant to our populist moment.





I claim no intimate knowledge of this story beyond the soul-baring that Hunter performed with reporter Adam Entous of the New Yorker — an airing of family laundry without precedent, that I can recall, in the rollout of a presidential campaign. To that text I add the widely shared experience of an addict in the family, plus several decades spent listening to Americans talk about the people who seek to lead them.




It’s likely you already know the beginning of the story, at least through Joe’s eyes. The high point of his young life, his election to the U.S. Senate, collided fatally with the low point: a car wreck in which his young wife and daughter were killed. Two young sons, Beau and Hunter, survived the wreck — to live with the wreckage. Because let’s be real, folks, as Joe Biden likes to say: The crash took their mother, but in a real sense, that election took their father. I don’t care how many Amtrak trains the ambitious young senator caught to kiss his sons’ foreheads as they drifted off to sleep, or how many rides the boys took on the Capitol Hill subway as Dad worked. Politics is a punishing life for the children involved — presidential politics especially. And Joe Biden has always been running for president.

Beau Biden coped by making himself into a chip off the old block. That left Hunter to find his own lane. As Entous details it, the youngest Biden tried the arts, law, finance, political influence peddling. The consistent themes are booze and cocaine. The profile groans under a litany of failed rehabs.

There’s an old saying about addiction. The man takes a drink (or a sniff), then the drink takes a drink, until the drink takes the man. It will take the bystanders, too, if they let it. Addiction is ravenous. But there was always someone in Joe Biden’s life to help him out with Hunter. It’s heartwarming when family and friends swoop in to care for the boys while Daddy serves the people of Delaware. But little boys have little needs, while big boys have bigger needs.




Soon enough, directionless Hunter has a six-figure job at a bank run by Biden supporters. When Hunter grows bored, there’s another lucrative job under the tutelage of a former Biden staffer. When Hunter wants a house he can’t afford, he receives a loan for 110 percent of the purchase price. And when he goes bust, another friendly banker mops up the damage.





AD






 


Then his brother Beau contracts fatal brain cancer, and the last wobbly wheels come off Hunter Biden’s fragile self. At this point, the New Yorker piece becomes a gonzo nightmare — much of it narrated by Hunter himself — of hallucinations, a car abandoned in the desert, maxed-out credit cards, a crack pipe, a strip club and a brandished gun.




If, as the magazine headline put it, Hunter Biden now jeopardizes his father’s campaign, the article makes clear Joe Biden feels a share of the blame. Yet, by the time the senator was vice president, the folks still willing to help Hunter were of a sketchier variety. There was a Chinese businessman who, Hunter said, left him a large diamond as a nice-to-meet-you gift. And a Ukrainian oligarch who hired Hunter at a princely sum to do nothing much. (Neither the firm nor Hunter Biden identified any specific contribution he made). Joe Biden’s response, according to his son, was: “I hope you know what you are doing.”




Hope! What family of an addict hasn’t fallen back to that last trench? Denial, they say, is not just a river in Egypt.





AD






 


In sum, the story of the Bidens, father and son, is more pathetic than nefarious. Yet it might do damage anyway. Less privileged Americans can’t be faulted if they wonder why their addicted loved ones are on the streets or in the morgue while the vice president’s son is blessed with diamonds and sinecures. Multitudes locked up for years under Joe Biden’s crime bill might ask why the author’s son traveled the world scot-free. And sober working people making $50,000 a year may be skeptical of a system in which a vice president’s addicted son reportedly collected that sum every month.
