And what does that have to do with corrupt, nepotism or anything else? Hunter Biden has problems He's admitted that. As has Joe. Joe actually loves his kids.

As for UNI88's both sides truths - this is what has alloweed Trump's excesses to flourish and would have allowed Hillary's excesses to flourish if she had been elected.

FTR - I have called out Trump's BS so I'm not sure how my approach has allowed his excesses to flourish? How hard did you come down on Hillary's excesses (Clinton Foundation, e-mail server, Benghazi, undermining the victims of Bill's sexual exploitations, etc.)? Or did you try to minimize or rationalize them because she was the candidate of the party you supported? Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
Amen to that. I'll go one further, actually. The one-sideness of partisans like dback, who only call out excesses for the party that they oppose, are the ones primarily responsible for the excesses of partisans who rise up in opposition to their political extremism. The whole equal and opposite reaction thing - it's true in science (since both sides just cherry-pick science when it's advantageous to do so and ignore it all the other times), and it's true in politics. Folks like dback and MJ made Trump possible. For shame, dback and MJ, for shame. :kisswink:

Yeah - but they're brown and socialists so they get a free pass.

I think.. Isn't that how it works?

The only thing I know for sure is that, as a white man, I'm wrong on everything and it's ok to be racists towards me.
It’s not that you’re white so much as it’s about you being a southern.

So the Jerusalem post thinks she’s anti-Semitic with zero supporting quotes (even out of context quotes) other than the Benjamin’s one?

Vox - The Ilhan Omar anti-Semitism controversy, explained - “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.”

She and the Squat condemn Israeli attacks on Palestinian militants (who launch their attacks while hiding among civilians) but ignore Venezuela's attacks on pro-democracy supporters? Oppression and killing by "zionists" is bad but oppression and killing by socialists is ok?
Should listen to some of her local speeches she gives in her district.

The National Media downplays her thoughts/ideas and she is everything she has been accused of (anti-semtic wise).

My brother (who lives in St. Paul and in her district) sent me some local articles covering her speeches/rallys that I will try to find.

What conservatives don't seem to understand is that Facebook and Twitter cause problems for sources they like because the sources they like lie a lot. It's not an anti-conservative bias. It's an anti-falsehood bias.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are

Do we really know that the Hunter Biden story was fake? The information and sources were questionable but should it have been completely dismissed and ignored? There was definitely some smoke there and the reality that Joe Biden did nothing to prevent his son from profiting off his name and position does not speak well for his integrity or how he will allow people to benefit from access to him as the most powerful person in the world. As Ibanez has said, character matters and the Hunter stuff reflects poorly on Joe Biden's character.

The parallels between the Hunter story and Russia collusion are interesting. All it took for the Russia collusion hoax to gain traction and become newsworthy was for the US House or Representatives to legitimize it by using it to pursue impeachment.
Far more credible corruption stories involving Trump and his cronies (Like Turkey) have been swept under the rug.

You know that the main "source" for all of this has admitted he made it all up, right?


If you are so concerned about Hunter making money off of his name, you must be nuclear at all the cons and millions the Trump Spawn and Spawn-in-laws are making off the Trump name.

yet not a peep about the family criminal enterprise in the mainstream media :ohno:

The Media's afraid that if they expose the Trump family criminal enterprise they might have to continue pulling on the string and expose other political family criminal enterprises like the Clinton Foundation, the Manchurian Boxers, etc. Fortunately, Hunter Biden was too incompetent to establish a criminal enterprise and all he could do was stumble through life shaking down people using his father's position and living life large like a meth addict in a trailer park.

(CNN)An Arkansas police chief who posted calls for violence against Democrats on social media resigned from his job on Saturday.

Lang Holland, who was police chief of the roughly 1,300-person city of Marshall, Arkansas, drew outrage from both local residents and people around the country after making ominous comments online in recent days. In addition to repeatedly saying Democrats should be killed, he shared memes from conspiracy theory QAnon and claimed that the election was being stolen.

"Death to all Marxist Democrats," Holland posted on Parler, a new social media site popular with conservatives and used as an alternative to Twitter. "Take no prisoners leave no survivors!!"
One image he shared depicted a group of Democrats, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, wearing prison jumpsuits. Under the image he wrote: "I pray all those in that picture hang on the gallows and are drawn and quartered!!!! Anything less is not acceptable
