    The funny thing about you MAGAts is that you don't even bother to do elementary style research. The REPUBLICAN SENATE committee recommended that the prosecutor be fired for corruption alongside the EU chief.

    It seriously blows my mind how effin stupid the MAGA wing of the party truly is.

    You literally just accused biden of firing the prosecutor for taking money yet your braindead talking point falls flat as Republicans in the senate called for his firing for corruption

    https://www.axios.com/2019/10/03/republicans-ukraine-reform-prosecutors-office-biden

    The EU chair literally was threatening sanctions. The prosecutor was corrupt as ****.

    Why are you so brainwashed and ignorant?

    Nope . I never connected those points - If you reread what I said I indicated I wish I had the influence and gave a specific example

    Again the VP holds no real power. The senate which controls state departments budget has much more sway than the VP does. The republican senate panel ranking member recommended to the Obama that the prosecutor be fired for corruption.

    That has nothing to do with biden.

    I'm not a professor - I believe @B-Bob and @Os Trigonum are both professors.

    I also don't "work in a think tank". I'm involved with the World Economic Forum and Bloomberg New Economy Forum (both would be considered more popular "on the left", I think, although of course they are also capitalist - for me, these are mainly good places to meet smart people and learn, doesn't mean that I agree with everything, and I don't find Klaus Schwab or Bill Gates likeable at all). A few days ago, I met a good friend of Michelle Obama at one such event. I am also on certain economic advisory boards of two mainstream German political parties (although I excuse myself from all the meetings all the time, because I don't have time for them/cannot be there).

    As to you being a fanboi of Biden - I am friendly with a member of his family. Do you want me to get you an autograph?

    Difference between you and I is youre in a cult and can't see the truth. I can admit hunter biden is a crook and a scumbag. He obviously has a sex addiction and was a drug junkie. He lied and tried taking advantage of his dad's power. He sold himself as someone with more influence than he really had. Hunter biden 1000% deserves to rot in prison.

    None of that means Joe Biden committed a crime.

    how did you folks let this thread slip to the second page????

    time to rectify that. With the Federalist

    How Did Biden Really Make His Millions? It’s Time For A Special Counsel To Find Out

    https://thefederalist.com/2023/06/19/how-did-biden-really-make-his-millions-its-time-for-a-special-counsel-to-find-out/

    excerpt:

    The questions are long overdue. I first asked, “Where Is Hunter Biden’s Money?” just before the 2020 election, noting that civilian Biden had reported $9.5 million in income for fiscal year 2017 — almost twice as much as he had earned in the prior 19 years combined. A subsequent piece last year analyzed the accepted premise that this money had come from his book deal with Flatiron Books.

    What I found was that “a notable $8.7 million gap exists between (his income tax-reported) $9.5 million net income in 2017 and the $809,709 of disclosed income in that year from book tour and related speaking events,” and “since his disclosure covers only part of 2017, we lack the insight into other income that may explain it.”

    We lack the insight because this money flowed to Joe and Jill Biden by way of two S-corporations that they set up shortly after he left office in 2017, CelticCapri Corp. (his) and Giacoppa Corp. (hers). Despite claims that their tax returns had been released, the truth was that they only released their individual returns — not the upstream S-corporations’ returns. Without those documents, it’s simply impossible to know the sources of this anomalous income. What can be ascertained with basic math is that his dismal book sales could not have yielded that kind of money.

    As I noted, “For analysis purposes, consider that his book had a retail price of $27 for hardcover and $18 for paperback, and assume a reasonable mix of sales so the average price was $23 (with no discounting). On 300,000 books sold, gross revenues would’ve been just under $7 million. As an author, Biden would’ve likely received about 12 percent of that using a blended royalty rate (15 percent hardcover and 7.5 percent paperback typical from publishers), yielding about $800,000 in income. Round it up to $1 million if you prefer. Double it. It’s still not close to $8 million.”

    Your article fails to mention Biden's speaking engagements. He could get 6-figures for one speech because his resume had Vice President on it. The last several presidents have made big bank on speeches, and even lesser lights can also make comfortable livings thereby. Seems suspiciously disingenuous of your article to never mention the speaking circuit and instead insinuate that Biden couldn't make $9 million on the book deal and therefore the rest of the money must be dirty.
