    You've been shown this a million times and you've been shown evidence of Republicans demanding his firing

    https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/03/poli...oed-biden-on-ukraine-reforms-kfile/index.html

    Theres literally a letter with Rob portman letterhead that demands that they fire the prosecutor or else congress would cut aid. You've been shown this evidence many times but you're a disingenuous scumbag and you'll spin the same conspiracy tomorrow.

    You're seriously pathetic for spinning lies. Biden firing the prosecutor was something republicans demanded and therse literally photo evidence of this.

    Biden blackmailed a sovereign government to fire a prosecutor, using US loan guarantees. Basically, using taxpayer money to blackmail a foreign government. Then he bragged about it.

    https://nypost.com/2023/08/25/fired...r-shokin-says-he-believes-bidens-were-bribed/

    Fired Ukraine prosecutor Viktor Shokin says he believes Bidens were bribed

    WASHINGTON — Former Ukraine prosecutor general Viktor Shokin says in a new interview set to air Saturday night that he believes — but lacks direct evidence — that President Biden and his son Hunter received bribes in exchange for forcing him out of office in early 2016.

    “I do not want to deal in unproven facts, but my firm personal conviction is that, yes, this was the case. They were being bribed,” Shokin told Fox News host Brian Kilmeade in an excerpt of the interview released Friday.

    “And the fact that Joe Biden gave away $1 billion in US money in exchange for my dismissal, my firing, isn’t that alone a case of corruption?” added the former top law enforcement officer in Kyiv.

    Dude THERES A LETTER FROM REPUBLICANS ON RECORD DEMANDING HIS FIRING. This is the REPUBLICAN SENATOR AT THE TIME

    "Portman press secretary Emmalee Kalmbach said: “Rob has long pushed for reforms in Ukraine to root out corruption, strengthen its democracy and increase ties to the United States, and this letter is one such example. He remains committed to ensuring America stands with the Ukrainian people in their struggle to reform and secure a democratic, prosperous, and independent future."

    You're literally just a lying scumbag seriously. You claim you're not MAGA yet you spin nothing but low iq braindead right wing conspiracy. You're the same **** as MAGA

    Seriously how many time can you repeat the same bull sh$t? This is like saying Trump “believes” he won the 2020 election and then coming here to present that as if it’s new evidence.

    Stop treating everyone here with such a lack of intellectual respect.

    The idea that you keep playing stupid and somehow keep blaming biden even though you're shown a million pieces of evidence that shows what you're claiming is a lie makes you such a slimly scumbag. Seriously. You're worst than i thought you were

    Do you think Hunter Biden got given millions to be on the board of Burisma because he was so qualified for the job?

    And do you think Joe Biden was not intelligent enough to understand why his son got that job, and that money?

    Do you think he distanced himself from that?

    This is their entire playbook. Throw as much bullshit to the wall and see what sticks. Majority of americans are hard working good people who dont have time to keep up with relevant facts so these folks flood the airwaves with conspiracies and garbage. @B-Bob was responding to his post without even realizing half of his statement was filled with lies and disinformation.

    The worst type of human being is those who spread lies and disinformation. You have to be an absolute piece of **** human being to purposely lie to others and spread disinformation. I dont know why you folks treat @AroundTheWorld as if hes some good faith poster.

    It's not weaponizing. It's being held accountable for trying to overturn the elections. If he was brown and a foreigner, he'd be in Guantanamo Bay getting water boarded.


    Trump should just flip the script be like....... now you care about coups. The US hasn't been attempting but actually overthrowing elected governments for the biggliest of times. Allende 1973, poor man. The entire Reagan administration to Latin America in the 80s. Clinton in Guatemala. Obama again with Guatemala. What is it about beautiful Guatemala? But now an attempted overthrow of elections with a perfect phone call is an issue?

    I'd then get one of you fanboys or my cult associates to buy everyone in the courtroom Burger Kings. Joke is on you if you think I'm paying you back for the burger kings.

    That's how I would handle it if I was 6'3 215

    Republicans talk about accountability, but when it's one of their own who has to face their music for their crimes, it's SOOOOO UNFAIR!

    Your braindead conspiracies have never been able to link joe biden to anything that benefited hunter in any way. I dont think joe gave a **** about what hunter was doing with his work life because Joe was assigned to iraq at this time to deal with ISIS. I think joe thought as long as he didnt do anything that benefited hunter he didnt really think too much about what his son was doing.

    If Joe biden wanted to "weaponize" the doj the first thing he would've done was to fire the us attorney overlooking his only sons case whos a Republican. You think Trump would've allowed a democrat to investigate his son? Are you on drugs.

    You dont have a single piece of evidence that shows joe ever weaponizing **** other than your bs conspiracies you find on twitter from Collin and Greg Price.

    Difference being is that Trumps kids were offical employees of the government while hunter was a private citizen taking advantage of his dads name. The same arent even remotely the same. Trump hand installed his kids in their positions while hunter did what he did on his own. The right wing MAGAts like to compare them because it makes them feel less shitty about the awful human Trump is.

    It depends. I would definitely hire someone like Albert Einstein, who was a refugee to the US. By illegally excluding all refugees from consideration, all qualified refugees are discriminated against.

    The sentiment that refugees aren’t deserving of consideration is discriminatory and illegal when actually implemented as a policy.

    You have the right to refuse whoever the hell you want from your business. The doj has no business telling Elon how to run spacex. The issue is when the company receives federal dollars from taxpayers you have strings tied to the grant which is normal for all federal spending

    If any of you folks are in the health care business you would know its the same thing then. If a doctor or establishment receives medicare/medicaid money then instantly those folks are obligated to follow the stark law and cant give kickbacks or self refer. If you decide not to accept any federal money there's no restrictions on what you can do as a business. You can accept all the bribes you want if you accept no federal money.

    People have no idea how the damn law works and its easier to spin conspiracies then do some reading

    I guarantee you folks that @AroundTheWorld will again post this video again in the future even though he knows its absolutely bullshit and hes spreading disinformation and lies.

    Why do you people treat @AroundTheWorld as if hes some serious honest poster? When will you folks see through his bullshit

    U.S. Code 1324b, which addresses unfair immigration-related employment practices and protects individuals including refugees and asylees against discrimination, applies to all employers in the US, regardless of whether they have contracts with the federal government or not. There are a few exceptions, such as employers with three or fewer employees, but by and large, it applies to all employers in the US.

    Musk is a federal contractor through NASA. The feds routinely audit contractors for compliance with stipulations in the contract.

    There's a difference between a DOJ posting and compliance with a federal contract.
