    Even that graphic shows that some of those meetings were made while Joe Biden wasn't in office.

    Logic and reason? Too many are assuming that the right is being intellectually curious and honest, rather than merely hoping and wishing that there is something here. Opacity is exactly how it becomes easy to operate continuously within the 'there is something here' narrative. Each time that something doesn't pan out, the bar shifts to something else.

    There used to be genuine curiosity and intellectual honesty from the right. Maybe there still are traces, but I don't see them anymore. The entire movement of dishonesty I've seen from the right 'thinkers' has become tedious and tiresome.

    and some of its earlier reporting is coming back to haunt a compliant and Biden-friendly mainstream media

    For Washington Post's Feared 'Pinocchio' Fact Checker, Forthrightness Dies in 'Updates' to Biden-Burisma Story

    https://www.realclearinvestigations..._updates_over_biden-burisma_story_971280.html

    excerpt:

    For the second time in three years, the Washington Post has quietly “updated” one of the most consequential fact checks in the history of American politics – its October 2020 article undercutting reports that Hunter Biden arranged a dinner meeting between one of his foreign business clients and his father, who was then vice president of the United States.

    The original article by the Washington Post’s chief fact checker, Glenn Kessler, was published the same day as the New York Post’s pre-election scoop revealing that Joe Biden had attended a 2015 dinner with a top executive of a Ukrainian energy firm, Burisma, which was paying his son $83,000 per month. Kessler’s fact-check involved interviews with a host of Biden aides who vehemently disputed the vice president’s attendance at the dinner and advanced the theory that the source of the information – a laptop Hunter had abandoned at a Delaware repair shop – was untrustworthy and possibly a Russian plant.

    That conspiracy theory was quickly embraced by 51 former intelligence officials, who signed an open letter dismissing the New York Post’s scoop as having "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” This letter and the Washington Post fact check were used by the Biden campaign, other media outlets, and social media platforms to discredit the information contained on the laptop in the final days of the campaign. The article, Kessler would later boast, was “one of the most read articles in our 13-year history” of the fact-checking feature.

    But Kessler’s fact check has not aged well. Just last week Hunter Biden’s former business partner, Devon Archer, testified before Congress that the article was “not correct reporting." Instead of retracting the article – as the Post did with some of its debunked Russiagate coverage – or running a straightforward correction, the paper has appended a series of “updates” to its reporting.

    The thing that I never understood from these losers is they somehow pretend that Biden isnt POTUS right now? Biden is literally spending more money right now than any POTUS in history is spending and yet they dont have one case of corruption or fraud while hes actually POTUS lol. All their braindead conspiracies stem from the days when he was VP and held no true power. Thats why people like @Os Trigonum are so pathetic. Wheres the corruption now?

    All of a sudden Biden became the most powerful man in the world and is spending trillions of dollars and not one sign of corruption now magically?

    Mind showing me a single spending bill biden passed that has under 50% support? The point of a democracy is to pass legislation that the majority of Americans agree on no?

    Mind showing me which 100+ billion dollar bill biden passed that didnt have majority support? Hes passed 5+ trillion dollars of spending and somehow you trolls dont have one corrupt thing hes done as POTUS even though hes given out over 40000 grants to smaller citities and towns.

    Over 40k+ grants given and not one corrupt deal but he was soooo corrupt when he was VP when he had NO POWER? You realize how stupid you people sound in real life right?

    Whats so difficult? Can you tell me which one of his major spending bills had less than 50% support ? If so I would agree that hes being wreckless and spending money the public doesnt want him to spend.

    Now mind telling the name of the bill you're referring to? I always love exposing how dumb you truly are

    Corruption as VP is still corruption.

    However, I've only observed fragile connections being treated as lawlessness—a narrative that persists endlessly and not unexpectedly. It's all dishonesty.

    When did I say being a foreigner is somehow a bad thing? I said spending time spreading conspiracies about another country's politics all day is pathetic. Nothing is xenophobic about that
