The Dude Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 3 mins ago, Nessmuk said: I wonder if Joe knows that isn’t true. I don’t know if Joe is dirty here to any significant degree, but we’ve all known people like Hunter. He’s the stereotype self-destructive dumbass that keeps making stupid decisions because he can’t see himself getting caught. It’s not even necessarily Joe’s fault his kid turned out that way, but Hunter is the bullchitter that we always see his patting himself over his latest scam, just before he gets that deer in the headlights look when he inevitably gets caught. He definitely cashed in on the family name in an unseemly way and had his share of issues, but he's not stupid. The guy has a Yale Law degree. However, I still can't imagine he's the smartest person Joe knows given the circles he's traveled in, but a father is going to stick up for his son.

I agree... Joe shouldn't be peddling this garbage. Lot's of gullible folks longing to hear what they want to hear are going to start spinning like tops, I suspect the Pro-Biden media will be in on the act sooner than later In fact he shouldn't be commenting on the case at all... clearly A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices. – William James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole exchange is entirely reasonable in context. Joe seems to be taking the high road. The president-elect made the comment Thursday night in an interview on CBS’s “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” where he was asked by the host how he plans to deliver on his promises of bipartisanship even as “the people who want to make hay in Washington are going to try to use your adult son as a cudgel against you.” “We have great confidence in our son,” the president-elect responded. “I am not concerned about any accusations made against him. It’s used to get to me. I think it’s kind of foul play. But look, it is what it is, and he’s a grown man. He is the smartest man I know [in terms of] pure intellectual capacity.

Did Trumps Justice Department cook up a deep state plot to frame Hunter in order to bring Joe down ? ~ Trump's 4d Chess game is so good, he set up Hunter before he even announced he was running for POTUS, derp!!

If nepotism and self dealing concerns you, DJT is a much greater offender. I hear that a lot......but not many examples, especially on the tax payer dime. Nepotism is a nice tidy package that may make you sleep well, but the issue of selling out American interest to China for personal gain is pretty difficult to sweep under the rug. Comparing Trump to Biden in this regard is apples to rotten bananas. Most folks that can separate the facts from partisan knee jerks get this.

FishermanTim Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 I think Dementia Joe probably thinks Hunter is himself coming back from the past, and is trying not to do the "Judgment Day"-time travel-Terminator thing and destroy the world? I think some here need to loosen up their tinfoil conspiracy caps a little.... I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy!

While I can agree with you on this in general theory, I have a very hard time believing that Joe was not "at the very least" fully aware of Hunters shady dealings, if not fully involved even if through intermediaries.

Mummichog Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 The lying dog-face pony soldier has hairy legs. He loves it when roaches sit on his lap and stroke his wet, hairy legs. Right before he goes out in the parking lot and beats a black man with a chain. Did I mention he is against letting black kids ride the bus with white kids? Kids like Kamala Harris, they would make it a racial jungle. Even though they’re just as smart as white kids. They just need to have the record player on more.

The Media would be working 25hrs a day if this was Trump and Don Jr. I'm not sure that I'd use the term "shady" to describe the dealings. He was doing private equity deals and consulting. Of course, he likely wouldn't have gotten in the door at most places if his last name wasn't Biden. I don't think Joe had much if any involvement though as there isn't really any evidence of that and one of the emails from the laptop explicitly stated that he had no control over what Joe did and said. Also, the media was working 25 hours a day on the Hunter story as it was first litigated during the impeachment stuff and then again when the laptop of suspect provenance came about. The problem is that there isn't much there to move on. Let's see where it goes though. I seriously doubt any charges come out of it. Even tax stuff doesn't turn criminal unless you understate your tax liability by more than 50%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
