    What I like about Trump is he exposes the way most politicians really are. He shows that deep down they are the same as him.
    All these politicians are corrupt with the trading favors for donations, foreign sketchy entanglements and blatant hypocrisy.

    Trump is not a good person but has exposed all these government plutocrats for the frauds they really are.
    A vice president of the US's son peddling influence for meager sums by Russians, Ukrainians and the Chinese
    is just the way things are done in Washington.

    Trump is showing that all of Washington is just as dirty as he is alleged to be and no Americans will forget that unless
    they have blinders on and think Biden is anything but another duplicitous, hypocritical politician that sold his influence
    for big bucks.

    Except the VP's son didn't peddle influence. There was none peddled, and while Trump has tried to make it seem like that happened it didn't. We can play this game if you'd like, or you can just re-read the thread.

    But if you want to rehash the same thing that's already happened, go ahead let us all know what you believe has been exposed that Hunter Biden did, and what influence was peddled? Tell us what Joe Biden did that helped him and the Ukrainians.

    agreed- Trumps only redeeming feature is his ability to create a safe space for others to beclown themselves.

    Has the video where Hunter has sex with a minor been released yet? Maybe that comes tomorrow.

    Why would Joe put his family through this?

    This is a smear campaign based on nothing - that's what is evil.

    A desperate ploy to manufacture a scandal but no one is falling for it.

    Didn't peddle influence? ... ok. He was thanked for making the introduction. His text message implies his dad gets half his salary. That is, if what Rudy is putting out there isn't fake. That's a strong possibility. It would be good if the FBI weighed in so the American people can know if it's bullshit or real. If it's real, the Biden family is going to be put through hell.

    Just for giggles: I see a crack pipe in Hunter's mouth. Let me guess: You see an asthma inhaler? It could be like the blue dress/white dress image.

    I don't care about Hunter smoking meth. That has zero to do with Joe.

    Tell me... Who got what out of the introduction? What influence was exerted?

    To be a politician at that level, you need to make compromising deals, spin facts, dismiss inconvenient truths, etc. They all do it to varying degrees, and the higher the level of power/influence they reach the more likely they will do it retain that power/influence. I think it would be naive to believe otherwise. I sometimes try to imagine a politician who is pristine ethically and in terms of sticking to principles of honesty, and I just don't see such a person's political career surviving very long and that's a shame.

    That said, it doesn't follow that all politicians are equally dirty, or equally willing to put aside principles and moral integrity for their own personal gain. Trump and his cronies are on another level when it comes to corruption and sliminess. It is strategically important for them to portray everyone to be as bad (or worse) than them, and they've succeeded in convincing a segment of the public of this. I think this is a shame. People lose sight of behavior that should be considered abhorrent when you have these attempts to put everyone on the same level like it's some kind of game.

    LOL you want the fbi to chime in. Remember when FBI chimed in 2016 and released that damn'ing report that helped save Trump the election. What did trump do a few years later? Call Comey a corrupt swamp rat when in reality it was Comey who saved Trump's campaign. It's hilarious how the GOP and right-wing cult members ignore that the FBI is stating that the Russians are interfering with our election as noise but somehow if they came against Biden it would be the truth.

    You're nothing but a joke don't forget that.

    They already investigated him to death and found nothing. It's such an obvious bs story why should the FBI waste its time on something that is so weak?

    No not really because I'm assuming you are implying bias from Comey to not get Trump the presidency.which contradicts his actions.

    Getting someone fired with the backing of the international community is not lying. Think smarter(if that is possible)

    They are not just as dirty as trump. Trump is the bottom of the barrel. He is so lonely that he trying to get people to join him. There is no equivalencies here. All presidents before him divested control over their assets but trump. Presidents before him released their taxes. He has done neither.

    The FBI has weighed in on it, what do you think this durham business has been about?

    Name on person who has come to the defense of Hunter Biden?

    I have no idea what that last line was for.

    I actually like the O's persona better, at least then you posted sometimes interesting stuff.

    You people are deluded if you don't understand how dirty politics is. Favors, lobbying, campaign donations for
    special causes, peddling influence by family members, land deals before a highway comes in, the legal up until a few
    years back insider trading, the revolving door between government and lobbyists and companies pushing for influence.

    Its a dirty cesspool of mess. Trump isn't much different but he exposed the others for the slimeballs they are with their
    porcelain veneer. I mean does anyone think people from Ukraine, China etc. would hire a guy with no influence that
    was a druggie if it wasn't to buy influence? That's politics 101.

    I understand Trump's flaws as many do, but people's inability to see the same in other politicians like Biden are just
    deluding themselves. You sound like sports fans that are deluded with emotion.
