    Did Jared Kushner have relatives that work at the White House? What about his 2 Billion dollar "business deal" directly with Saudi Arabia??

    How many times have you posted in outrage about Jared Kushner's 2 billion dollar deal? How many times have you posted about Hunter Biden, a private citizen, legally holding positions in the international business community that then possibly had interactions with the United States Government??

    Like I get it... sons and daughters who are not in office themselves of elected officials "should" try and stay out of business with potential organizations and people who deal directly with the United States or worse off... with countries who are in conflict with the United States... BUT there is nothing illegal about it as long as there's no evidence of bribery or extorsion, or emoluments... which in this case THERE IS NO EVIDENCE.

    • Does it mean I'd vote for Hunter Biden if he ran for office... no... Hunter Biden doesn't have my vote.
    • Does it mean I won't vote for Joe Biden and instead will vote for Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis??... Hell no.

    Your outrage posting on this when you are completely silent about Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump... or hell... Donald Trump (see Trump Tower Moscow) is beyond hypocritical. The ONLY purpose here is to change the topic and divert attention away from real crimes being committed on the right. As a Trump supporter this is a major sign of weakness since you know you aren't changing minds... you are just trying to play defense for your own party by diverting the attention away from a typical Republican voter who has a conscious but still might vote Republican if only they are distracted enough..... Pretty freaking sad dude.

    There is a better than average chance that even if the White House meetings happened, Joe still doesn't know much about what was discussed. Very similar to his foreign policy meetings occurring in the present day.

    1. I don't know what was discussed when they met, so I don't know that he lied.

    2. If he did lie, that's still well short of engaging in corruption.

    I'm not a republican. I do know my guy didn't win.

    also, you're OT, so feel free to start your own thread on the election.

    at least one of the meetings was with Joe. but given his cognizant state, it's highly plausible he still wouldn't know what was discussed

    I'm not the only person here who has commented that nothing you've posted is evidence. Others were patient enough to post why it wasn't evidence. I'll let you go back and read those posts at your convenience.

    Bottom line is that you don't know what was discussed at the meetings.

    Its an investment advisor....

    Most financial advisors are word of mouth recommendations.

    What is the scandal?

    How is an investment advisor a business partner?

    A meeting taking place doesn't prove what was discussed. A meeting taking place isn't evidence of corruption nor is it evidence of Biden lying about knowing or not knowing about the business dealings.

    well we know Biden is innocent of any wrong-doing because he has told us he is innocent of any wrong-doing

    As an aside... its funny that within D&D, there are three basic political parties. Democrats. trump supporters (OK, mojoman and commodore... did I miss any?). And then there is a large number of people that identify as "libertarians". This last group claims to have not supported and not voted for trump. But... they go way out of their way to defend him at every opportunity.

    If I were to guess, I would put the D&D break down as follows: Democrats 55%; trump supporters 10%; "Libertarians" (or at least, republicans now claiming they are "libertarians") 35%. What is really fascinating... the 2020 Libertarian candidate got less than 1.2% of the vote. A number that actually shrank in half from 2016.

    @basso claimed there was evidence that Biden was lying about knowing Hunter's business dealings. It isn't about what Biden claims, it's about presenting evidence which basso said existed and that he posted it.

    We don't know that he is innocent. We just haven't seen any evidence that he's guilty. If he did anything corrupt I would love to see the evidence. It hasn't surfaced or been presented in this thread yet.

    Biden may well be innocent of any wrongdoing. We haven't evidence to the contrary, so far. He may be guilty. We haven't seen any evidence of that yet either.

    Yeah… I mean that’s a real cute thing for people to say around here but then again I come back to your actions. Again I ask… how many times have you posted in outrage around Jared Kushner getting 2 billion dollars from the Saudi Government? How many times have you posted about Hunter Biden… who is a private citizen???

    careful or the not a republican will tell you you're off topic for bringing up other blatant lies when he's only concerned about Hunters laptop and the Biden "lies".

    But hunter, hunter, hunter....
