    Typical trumper glib response when there’s no substance behind it. keep on trumpin in the shallow pool with the rest of them.

    And for the record, I won’t be mad. It’s a 50/50 toss up. This is a referendum on America. On Facts. Science. Truth. Decency. If trump is re-elected, well, it reaffirms what his presidency has already shown. The country is far uglier and more ignorant than any of us previously thought and far worse off than we had hoped.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/18/business/media/new-york-post-hunter-biden.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=HomepageNew York Post Published Hunter Biden Report Amid Newsroom Doubts
    Some reporters withheld their bylines and questioned the credibility of an article that made the tabloid’s front page on Wednesday.

    I try to spend as little time on stories like this, which seem to be the type of stories cable news wants us to thing about constantly rather than more substantive stuff, but you need some resistance to this almost sure bs from the Repugs.

    Fair enough. I’m willing to wait it out and see if the truth comes out. It ‘feels’ like dirty pool to me. But if it’s true we have very serious problem if Joe is elected in spite of this info. The email from Burisma is problematic and frankly it re-affirms Trumps push for an investigation.

    We’ll see if Rudy is the dirty one or has been had. Hopefully this gets a proper investigation and people are held accountable whichever way it goes.

    the source for all those "intel community investigating laptop as russian disinfo stories" appears to be Adam Schiff. DNi Ratcliffe slaps this idea down.

    Irrelevant and desperate.
    Trump and Bannon soon to be relegated to The World's Ugliest Humans TV show.

    also, some of y'all don't seem to understand the difference between the "intel community" and the FBI.

    Perhaps choosing someone honest to cite would have been more compelling as opposed to someone that got the job just because he is loyal to trump...

    So you actually are trying to argue that a person with child p*rn is gonna drop of his computers to a random guy 1000 miles away and then not go and pick them up?

    To think that people actually took you serious at one time.

    Tulsi?

    Yeah that 1% she got in the primaries would have been a huge boost.

    Inside the shady private equity firm run by Kerry and Biden’s kids

    Joe Biden and John Kerry have been pillars of the Washington establishment for more than 30 years.

    So their sons going into business together in June 2009 was not exactly a bolt out of the blue.

    But with whom their sons cut lucrative deals while the elder two were steering the ship of state is more of a surprise.


    What Hunter Biden, the son of America’s vice president, and Christopher Heinz, the stepson of the chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations (later to be secretary of state), were creating was an international private equity firm. It was anchored by the Heinz family alternative investment fund, Rosemont Capital. The new firm would be populated by political loyalists and positioned to strike profitable deals overseas with foreign governments and officials with whom the US government was negotiating.

    By the summer of 2009, the 39-year-old Hunter joined forces with the son of another powerful figure in American politics, Chris Heinz. Senator John Heinz of Pennsylvania had tragically died in a 1991 airplane crash when Chris was 18. Chris, his brothers, and his mother inherited a large chunk of the family’s vast ketchup fortune, including a network of investment funds and a Pennsylvania estate, among other properties. In May 1995, his mother, Teresa, married Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts. That same year, Chris graduated from Yale, and then went on to get his MBA from Harvard Business School.

    Joining them in the Rosemont venture was Devon Archer, a longtime Heinz and Kerry friend.


    The three friends established a series of related LLCs. The trunk of the tree was Rosemont Capital, the alternative investment fund of the Heinz Family Office.

    The small fund grew quickly. According to an email revealed as part of a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation, Rosemont described themselves as “a $2.4 billion private equity firm co-owned by Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz,” with Devon Archer as “Managing Partner.”

    The partners attached several branches to the Rosemont Capital trunk, including Rosemont Seneca Partners, LLC, Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners, and Rosemont Realty.


    Of the various deals in which these Rosemont entities were involved, one of the largest and most troubling concerns was Rosemont Seneca Partners.

    Rather than set up shop in New York City, the financial capital of the world, Rosemont Seneca leased space in Washington, DC. They occupied a building on Wisconsin Avenue, less than a mile from John and Teresa Kerry’s 23-room mansion, and just two miles from both Joe Biden’s office in the White House and his residence at the Naval Observatory.

    Over the next seven years, as both Joe Biden and John Kerry negotiated sensitive and high-stakes deals with foreign governments, Rosemont entities secured a series of exclusive deals often with those same foreign governments.

    Some of the deals they secured may remain hidden. These Rosemont entities are, after all, within a private equity firm and as such are not required to report or disclose their financial dealings publicly.

    Some of their transactions are nevertheless traceable by investigating world capital markets. A troubling pattern emerges from this research, showing how profitable deals were struck with foreign governments on the heels of crucial diplomatic missions carried out by their powerful fathers. Often those foreign entities gained favorable policy actions from the United States government just as the sons were securing favorable financial deals from those same entities.
