But Hunter

Biden is corrupt because he has a son who served on the board of a company who’s business he was not expert in...that’s the theory

But NikkiHaley serves on the board of Boeing...is she an aerospace engineer?

Ivanka and Junior served on the board of an actual corrupt foundation.

Jared somehow got bailed out of 666 Fifth Ave by the Arabs.

You’re being conned.

Only an idiot would fail to discern the difference in the examples PeteF has served. Yet PeteF pretends these are parallel universes. The dude is desperate and tired. Also a little fried.

Morons are incapable of independent thought or critical thinking.
They only seem to have intelligence because they learn to repeat things they have learned by rote.
And they are really fried.

If the argument is that a coke fueled loser who banged his dead brothers wife and then knocked up a girl only to deny it and then get proven differently only to not pay child support despite the fact he made millions from the job his daddy got him then I guess we can call it even. Gotta love the liberal superheroes.!
But continue with your critical thinking snowflakes.👍🏿

Floridaman's checklist:
☑️Cheat your way into office
☑️Install children in top spots
☑️Steer $100s millions of govt money to family businesses
☑️Repeatedly declare fake emergencies to expand power
☑️Incessantly attack rivals, dissenters
☑️Praise, promote other tyrants
☑️Run up mountains of debt
☑️Disable accountability mechanisms
☑️Ride state media propaganda
☑️Corrupt "Justice" to allow lawlessness
☑️Deploy military for domestic purposes
☑️Assassinate inconvenient foreign leaders
☑️Invent dangerous "other"
☑️Denigrate free press
☑️Do dirty foreign deals for personal benefit
☑️Have "trials" w/o witnesses/evidence
☑️Attempt to rig re-election
☑️Investigate/jail rival crushing you in the polls
☑️Position child as benign successor

And if he successfully corrupts the Senate trial, all that will really be left on the Floridaman's checklist is:

☑️prevent a legitimate election in 2020, paving way for dynastic rule.

So you're admitting that Biden is as scummy as what you think Trump is?

Wow. The Dems really missed out on the real reasons you present here for impeachment. Wrapping all these babies up in some nice articles would overwhelmingly lead to conviction.

Do you think this game is over?
Lamar Alexander said Floridaman is guilty, given the documents that have come out since the acquittal of Floridaman how do you justify not allowing witnesses, Senator?
How did you choose to let a guilty man remain as President?

A Senator can consider a President guilty, but the charge not rising to impeachment level.

Ivanka and Jared made 82 million last year working for the White House. Ivanka just got 6 more trademarks from China our largest financial adversary. Don Jr. and Eric are off making business deals in the Middle East while dad is arranging for our kids to fight Saudi Arabia’s war for them. But let’s pretend Hunter Biden is the corruption problem.

Keep thinking this is about America first, this is Trump family fame and fortune first, I will give him high marks for conning and brain washing the republican base. That party is like the dinosaurs, they reigned large until they vanished, the changing demographics and youth coming into the voting ranks will shrink that party. I’ve voted both parties over the years, but this time around it’s any democratic candidate gets my vote.

did anyone on the planet claim that Hunter Biden is “the” corruption problem? Who are you responding to?

i do agree, It is asinine that the trumps didn’t divest their personal stakes in these businesses.

Youth always votes liberal.. then they switch, once they have experience and wisdom. Academia does a really good job of planting the seeds of liberalism.

As of right now, the GOP has the white house, the senate, and a majority of governorships and state legislatures. Not sure the party is quite in the tatters you’d like them
to be.

trump claimed
it was worth looking into. The democrats, despite patting themselves on the back about desiring truth, had zero desire to find out how Hunter got that job in if all places on the planet, the one country where Joe was point man.

GS, because trump is so polarizing, i was also worried that he’s hurt the gop. And i believe that if the dems
nominated an attractive moderate with populist positions, that candidate could have won 45 state in 2020. I really believe that and feared it. But look how the democrats responded instead, they sprinted to the left as far and as fast as possible, embracing positions that 70% of the country hates.

there’s a real chance that if bernie wins Iowa, it will
unleash a full blown civil war within the party. The most energetic democrats want to run on positions that probably can’t win. The establishment folks who run he party want biden or bloomberg, and the AOC knows this and rejects it. A real comeback was well within reach, low hanging fruit. They completely blew it.

IMPO both parties need new leadership, we need term limits and we need to put severe restrictions on lobbyists, this political system works as well as Boston’s mbta.

completely agreed, time
to flush the toilet in the elites who rig the system to benefit themselves, applies to both sides.
