It seems like whenever Hunter Biden is in the news, the Biden staff screams, the media screams, “we all scream for ice cream.” On October 19, 2020, the Biden campaign and its protective cocoon of media faced the discovery of Hunter’s presumed laptop with details of his (and his uncle’s) influence peddling while Joe Biden was Vice President. The solution? Joe Biden went for ice cream and the media peppered him with questions about his confectionary choice (Spoiler: he ordered a two-scoop chocolate and vanilla combo) Then they went away.
Now, Hunter is back in the news as new emails surfaced that directly contradict what Joe Biden has said to those every same reporters. Biden and the media seemed to make a beeline for the nearest ice cream shop. It turns out that now Biden now prefers . . . (wait for it). . . chocolate chip.
The only indication that there were still any reporters present was a soft scoop question “Mr. President, what is your message to Republicans who are prepared to block the Jan. 6 commission?” Biden responded “Eat some chocolate chip.” It summed up the state of journalism in America perfectly. The media got their intended scoop. And this time the scoop was actually different!
It is not clear how long the President’s cholesterol or the media’s reputation can tolerate this pattern.
Before the election, the national media and social media companies imposed a virtual blackout on the Hunter Biden story. Even when Biden’s laptop emerged with highly embarrassing and incriminating emails, Democratic politicians and the media pushed a conspiracy theory that the emails might be Russian misinformation, even though the recipients of the emails confirmed their authenticity and American intelligence dismissed the theory. Worse yet, a key business associate of the Bidens, Anthony Bobulinski, confirmed the authenticity of the emails and accused Joe Biden of lying about his involvement. Bobulinski detailed meeting with Joe Biden in a hotel to go over the dealings.
Social media companies like Twitter responded by barring the original New York Post story before the election. The media (which exhaustively investigated any story involving the Trump children) simply ignored the growing evidence that Joe Biden lied repeatedly for months in claiming to have had no knowledge of his son’s business dealings. The media refused to investigate the story even after Hunter himself contradicted his father’s repeated denial.
Soon after Biden was safely elected, the media began to reluctantly acknowledge that the laptop might be authentic while avoiding the obvious questions about millions acquired from influence peddling or Joe Biden’s apparent lying to these reporters.
The laptop revealed that, while receiving millions from the Chinese and other foreign sources, Hunter was an utter mess. He admits that during this period he was a crack addict and alcoholic: “[d]rinking a quart of vodka a day by yourself in a room is absolutely, completely debilitating” as well as “smoking crack around the clock.”
The new emails contain additional information directly contradicting Joe Biden. In addition to earlier pictures from golf trips and references to his involvement or knowledge, the new material refers to an actual dinner arranged in Washington, D.C.
Hunter arranged for then Vice President Biden to have dinner on April 16, 2015 with his Ukrainian, Russian and Kazakhstani business associates. They appropriately chose a private room at Café Milano, a Georgetown restaurant that brags that it is “Where the world’s most powerful people go.” After the dinner, Hunter received an email from Vadym Pozharskyi, an executive with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, to thank him for introducing him to his father: “Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure.”
Notably, the guest list from Hunter three weeks before included Russian billionaire Yelena Baturina and her husband, and Moscow mayor Yury Luzhkov (a notoriously corrupt politician). While one email pitched the dinner as connected to the World Food Program USA, it was a smörgåsbord of influence peddling and purchasing.
Hunter and his uncle in the meantime were reportedly racking in massive amounts. Baturina wired $3.5 million on Feb. 14, 2014, to Rosemont Seneca Thornton LLC, a Delaware-based investment firm co-founded by Hunter and Devon Archer, a former adviser to Secretary of State John Kerry.
Notably, these sources of income for Hunter would largely dry up after his father left office and his value as an influence peddler was lost.
The Chinese files also raise questions over how the Chinese funneled money to the Bidens when Hunter said he was a hopeless crack addict. Hunter worked with Patrick Ho Chi Ping who was a corrupt businessman closely associated with the Chinese government. He was later convicted of bribery in dealings associated with the energy conglomerate CEFC China Energy, the same company that paid Hunter. Hunter’s “renumeration package” included a possible return of $10 million. Hunter reportedly received millions from the company as well as a 2.8-carat diamond from CEFC’s founder and former chairman Ye Jianming.
Some of the emails are from a 29-year-old Chinese-American assistant, JiaQi Bao, who talks about Hunter’s ample expense allowance. On some of his charges, she notes “not sure if the accounting department will let this go.” However, when the company collapsed, she told Hunter to run up charges on the accounts to “keep as much as you can” before the company dissolved.
The record is now rife with individuals associated with foreign governments and intelligence organizations giving millions to Hunter and his uncle as well as luxurious expenses and gifts. Moreover, given the apparent illegal conduct captured in the images, it is reasonable to expect that these foreign governments hoped to have influence that was not just limited to the windfall payments.
That is why everyone is (again) eating ice cream. Call it a comfort food for the politically and journalistically challenged.`
I am commenting just on the title of this little piece of manure. There is no “Hunter Biden” story, other than the one alt-right media are trying to cook up to: 1. unfairly criticize Biden because he beat Trump; 2. To try to offset the endless valid scandals of Trump: fodder for “whatabouism”; 3. and to take a swipe at mainstream media because they do not report on this unproven garbage allegedly derived from a computer. There’s no “there” there.
Nutacha – you spent 5 years trying to find one iota of the damning information that was present fromt he start regarding Joe Biden.
You take pride in the claim that Biden beat Trump. Ignoring the questionable nature of the election – So you are proud of beating someone you lied about for 5 years – and still can not let go of with someone who has a decades long history of corruption ?
There is no “whataboutism” here – There is no credible allegation about Trump that equals what is KNOWN about Biden.
As to “proof” – what you are claiming that the Russian’s of NY Post spend millions of man hours concocting the information that is on Hunter’s laptop ? Information that is corrporated by public records from Ukraine. Information that is corroborated by public records from the US state department.
If you want a hint of the truth – start with Glenn Greenwald – who is pretty hard left, but unwilling to sell his soul,
This article is old. You can find more recent updates by Greenwald addressing further developments.
But this article from Oct. 29, 2020 is DAMNING to the Biden’s and to you.
https://greenwald.substack.com/p/article-on-joe-and-hunter-biden-censored
I would further note that all the worlds journalists, a special prosecutor and AG’s from left wing nut states accross the country have looked under every bush in the world for dirt on Trump and come up with nothing of substance.
No claims hold up to scrutiny. To beleive any of the claims about Trump or his family – you must have “faith” because there is no evidence.
But the opposite is true of the Biden public crime syndicate.
The Biden family CAN be forgiven as small time crooks amoung our political class.
Joe Biden is just not in the league of say the Clinton’s.
But he is inarguably corrupt. The good news is that it is unlikely he is the most corrupt president we have ever elected.
The bad news – he is inarguably corrupt.
Nor will this be the end of the Biden corruption story. It will go on and on for years.
And unlike the Trump allegations – each Biden claim builds on the next.
Allegations against Trump fell apart when facts were checked.
Allegations against Biden get stronger with more facts and more time.
And the Biden crime family provides an ocean of criminal acts over decades to explore.
We fixate today on Hunter and the Ukraine and China.
Those are just the most recent criminal ventures of the Biden crime family..
There is a long long history of public corruption i the Biden crime family.
So are you proud of electing a real crook ?
Calling her “Nutacha” is childish.
Why do you choose to be childish?
Why should anyone bother reading the rest of what you’ve written when you can’t even control your desire to namecall?
John Senile
Good night Ben. Thanks for the fairytale bedtime stories.
We take it you’ve never read the namecalling contained within one of Nuttychacha’s posts?
btw, you should read one of John Says comments only if you want to learn something.
name-calling is an american tradition……..moron.
Thanks for your reply to nutacha. I didn’t have the energy. Just finished reading Barbara Tuchman’s ‘Guns of August’ (events leading up to WW1 and first 45 days in exquisite detail (and irony); The Zimmermann Telegram that was the straw on the camel’s back that got Wilson to declare war in WW1 (or more appropriately made it where he could not not declare war) – and Bible and Sword, an amazingly detailed history of the Jewish diaspora since their the second rebellion against the Romans in 70 AD to the Balfour Agreement and League of Nations Mandate after WW1 and subsequent commissions that have set the stage for much of today’s mideast tensions. These 3 books tie together beautifully. The Zimmerman Telegram is a terrifically detailed example of 10+ years of multinational political intrigue, spycraft, fake news, etc to get Mexico and Japan to side with Imperial Germany and keep American soldiers from making it to europe in time to help if/when they declared war. You simply won’t believe the lengths gone to to contrive these stories in a day where the most modern communication equipment was a telephone, telegraph, radio and printed newspaper. If the intelligence agencies could cause such mayhem with the tools available to them then, you can better understand the multi year Russia Hoax ( and others) that we’ve been fomented by the deep state, established forces and political elites allied against Trump.
The Hunter Biden laptop doesn’t exist because Natacha says it doesn’t exist. Just one problem Hunter Biden does not say that it doesn’t exist. He hasn’t declared that the laptop isn’t his. Hunter doesn’t say that the coke pipe pictures on the laptop are not real pictures. Natacha the Master Magician’s next act will make the laptop disappear. Step right up lady’s and gentleman step right up to see Natacha the great make the laptop disappear before your very eyes. Aside to her faithful assistant. There’s a sucker born every minute.

Didn’t read the story huh?
How sad that you’re as unaware of the real world as you are.
Don’t cross the street or use a blender. You’d be screwed, oblivious lackwit.

Or have someone intelligent explain this to you,
It was good news when unemployment dropped to 13.3 percent which is still 9.3 points higher than when Trump took office.

The federal unemployment rate dropped in May for the first time since the coronavirus sent the economy into a tailspin, the strongest sign yet that the economic damage is bottoming out — although 21 million people remain out of work.
The economy gained 2.5 million jobs in May, the first time it has added jobs since February, as hundreds of thousands of workers flooded back to jobs in restaurants, health care and construction with the reopening of several states in mid-May.

Are you too dumb to review the monthly unemployment figures? Apparently so. That is why you wish to discuss tiny parts that are meaningless.
By not dealing with the accepted unemployment figures you are proving that you cannot back up your contentions. By repeatedly doing so, you are proving yourself to be Stupid.
I’ll say this one more time and maybe it will sink in:
When Obama took office and was fixing the economy destroyed by Bush43, unemployment went to 10%.
As the Obama economy recovered, unemployment descended to 4%.
Trump inherited a declining unemployment rate – from Obama – but then he screwed the pooch and unemployment went to 19.7%.
Those are the numbers, written in gold.
Nineteen point seven per cent.
One-fifth of Americans out of work,
Under Trump.
That rate has declined but it’s still ore than double what it was when Trump took office.
If you don’t believe me, try Fortune:

A sixth grader has enough mathematical skills to look at the U 6 and determine for himself that you are blowing wind.
Did you get past the sixth grade?
Here’s the U6 graph: https://www.macrotrends.net/1377/u6-unemployment-rate#:~:text=U5%20includes%20discouraged%20workers%20and,of%20April%202021%20is%2010.40.
As I said elsewhere, unemployment looks like a megathrust quake under Trump.
Or your pulse when there’s a sale at Walmart.
“Unemployment went to 19.7%” under Trump.
What’s that line about liars and statistics?
First, U-3 (not U-6) is the official unemployment number. But in analyzing Trump’s performance, it doesn’t matter. All types of unemployment dropped steadily under Trump (U-3 to about 3.5%) until early 2020. Then statist governors and mayors closed businesses. That, quite obviously, caused unemployment to skyrocket.
It is dishonest to blame Trump for the job-killing policies of state and local politicians.
“It is dishonest to blame Trump for the job-killing policies of state and local politicians.”
Ben is inherently dishonest.
Okay, you win (not).
The U3 only jumped to 15% under Trump.
https://www.thebalance.com/what-is-the-real-unemployment-rate-3306198
Trump did a bang up job starting with a rapidly descending unemployment rate – because of Obama – and then completely screwing it up X3+.
Trump is a stable genius.
It’s a tragedy Trump isn’t still president, playing politics with the vaccines and lying to the idiot proles and screwing things up even more.
Republicans screw it up. Democrats clean it up.
“The U3 only jumped to 15%” in 2020, under the business and job killing policies of governors and mayors.
One could spend a lifetime correcting your lies by omission.
From the article you cite:
But that all came to a shrieking halt when COVID-19 hit.
I seem to recall it was state governors that shut down their economies, not Trump. He couldn’t very well order them to not do so. Imagine the screams of “fascist” and “tyrant” (and they would have been correct, such an attempt by the president would have been beyond his authority).
Did Obama have to contend with a pandemic? No. You’re comparing two realities that have little in common.
You neglected the CCP virus-bio weapon lockdowns which forced unemployment to rise. That is on China not Trump.
But it was China Joe who did business with the CCP, selling his office and selling out this country for China’s benefit going back decades and decades.
TBS has made you an imbecile.
Ben why are you showing us stats for May, 2020??
The May 2021 stats have not yet been released. But most sources list April’s at 6.1%.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/273909/seasonally-adjusted-monthly-unemployment-rate-in-the-us/
6.1% is still 2 points above when Trump took over at 4%
That’s not a declining unemployment rate.
Ben, we’re on just emerging from the pandemic.
Don’t worry, Biden will fix it, just as Obama had to clean up after Bush43.
Why?
Republicans screw it up. Democrats clean it up.
The only thing Dems clean up are crime scenes.
ENTIRE COLUMN IS A ‘WHAT ABOUT’
Here Professor Turley makes the dubious case that mainstream media’s lack of interest in Hunter Biden is an oversight every bit as sinister as Republican opposition to a January 6th commission.
Turley forgets to mention that Rudy Giuliani’s trip to Ukraine (to gather dirt on Hunter Biden) is the subject of investigation by a Federal court in Brooklyn. It seems that Rudy was quite possibly consulting Russian agents. Which means that New York Post Story about the Mac Repair shop in Delaware was total nonsense. No wonder mainstream media ignored it!
No your flawed thinking misses the point that all they have is Jan. 6 and making Trump the Boogeyman to hide the terrible policies that Biden is doing right now, and look at how the Media just an extension of the DNC is handling things..What Kind of Ice Cream did you get? Chocalate Chocolate Chip…OOOOOHHHH Wow…Fawning Worship emanates from the crowd of so called Journalists. See they want to make ANYONE who disagrees or is a Republican they few kooks that ran into the Capitol and act like it’s the first time, even though they forgot 1954 and 1983.
Pete Poulos, your comment is incoherent.
This response tries to hide the Hunter affair, which contains tangible documents and identifiable testimony, with another case to conceal the Hunter affair from public view. That demonstrates an insincerity of getting to the truth. The evidence on that computer and the testimony are striking.
Unrelated are the assumptions that Giuliani may have done something wrong, yet nothing this anonymous person talks about is reasonably illegal.
The conclusions made by the anonymous person demonstrates an inability to piece together a relationship between Hunter and Giuliani. In contrast, the findings of this unknown person completely disregard the proof against Hunter, Joe Biden, and the Biden family.
Alan, that whole story about the Mac repair shop in the Delaware strip mall was total BS. The truth is that Guiliani went to Ukraine to gather that dirt with the aid of Putin-friendly actors. Therefore Guiliani’s activities are as questionable as Hunter Biden’s.
We can’t have the President’s lawyer acting as an ‘envoy’ while collecting dirt for a bogus ‘October surprise’. And mainstream media knew that story was no ‘surprise’. It was a carefully staged dirty trick planned months in advance.
A poster is once again assuming an alternative identity. It’s a Stupid thing to do so perhaps this poster should be merged with that of Anonymous the Stupid. If you wish to change an alias that embarrassed you, include a new name as well.
“Therefore Guiliani’s activities are as questionable as Hunter Biden’s.”
They aren’t, but that is beside the point. We have actual data on the Hunter computer. It has been posted on the blog. We have a genuine individual with a real story, including his meeting with Joe Biden.
To date, you haven’t provided any law that Giuliani violated nor any facts to prove criminal action. For the most part, you rely on what might have been discussed based on talking heads and anonymous sources.
Hunter’s case can and should be looked at alone. It extends to Joe Biden and the Biden family. You can distract people from the subject, but I don’t think that works anymore.
“It was a carefully staged dirty trick planned months in advance.”
As far as your statement goes, this should have been placed out in the open shortly after the FBI took control over the laptop. Therefore, blame the FBI for the untimely release.
Alan, Presidential Envoys are technically representing the U.S. government. Guiliani represented only the Trump campaign. That, in itself, was legally questionable.
Just last week the Brooklyn Federal court appointed a neutral attorney to look at several points of law that Guiliani may have violated. Said attorney will report back to the court. We’ll know then what laws, if any, Guiliani violated.
Giuliani and Trump both have one foot in the grave.
You really think they care what happens now?
The last four years has been their buttocks-slapping Bronx cheer to the world.
They’re old. They’re almost done.
Giuliani was an admirable shit kicker at one time: Stood up to the Mob and fixed New York City.
Now he’s just a sad clown.
Ben, look at the prior administration any way you wish. It will be Stupid but they are out and Biden is in. Now look at the video’s contradictory statements, emails, etc.
Biden is not honest and that is the question on the table.
Trump committed more unabashedly evil grifts in four years than Biden has done his whole life, if any.
All of this supposed corruption is connected to Hunter Biden – that’s just a concerned father trying to protect his son.
Hunter is a troubled screwup and that’s a shame.
Joe Biden shouldn’t have to deal with that on top of everything else, but he does.
Biden is honest.
Trump is not.
Again: Did Biden lose a $25 million lawsuit for defrauding students?
Did he screw some sad stripper and pay her $130,000 to clam up?
Was Biden fined $2 million for stealing from his own charity?
Is Biden involved in several thousand lawsuits?
No.
Biden has a lot of empty accusations against him, all tied up with his screw up son.
Without those, Biden is clean.
Unable to defend his position Ben runs around like a chicken without its head.
Stick to one set of facts. You are using multiple sets that cause you to conflate things in an inappropriate way and make you look Stupid.
Use the official U 6 numbers and use the fact and proof that have been established.
Joe looks crooked and Trump showed how bad Obama was in lowering unemployment.
Im just going to keep saying it: Obama inherited an ascending unemployment rate from Bush43 that peaked at 10%.
And then as Obama recovered the economy the rate descended rapidly and was at 4% when Trump took office.
Trump inherited that ascending unemployment rate and then it went through the roof, to 19.7%
I don’t know how many times I have to say that before it sinks in.
But if you had any brains or sense you wouldn’t be a Trumper, would you?
The U6 graph is here: https://www.macrotrends.net/1377/u6-unemployment-rate#:~:text=U5%20includes%20discouraged%20workers%20and,of%20April%202021%20is%2010.40.
Find someone with an IQ over 100 to explain it to you, you dumbass prole.
Biden has never been honest. No wonder Hunter has been trained in being dishonest.
Look at some of his friends om the 2013-2014 videos of who Biden palled around with.
Since you choose not to have a name, I will provide one for you though I am pretty sure who you are. I will call you Anonymous the Stupid 2 since the word ‘to’ means also. I don’t care.
State each incident and prove the actions were by a government envoy. Then tell us exactly what was done that was wrong and why it was wrong with appropriate documentation.
We have Hunters computers loaded with emails. We have Bobulinski’s transcript, Joe Biden on tape threatening Ukraine, bank receipts, statements by Joe Biden proven to be lies, etc.
You can do what you wish with Giuliani. He is not in government. By hiding behind Giuliani, you are proving that even you know that substantial evidence exists to prove Joe Biden acted against the interests of the US.
https://justthenews.com/government/white-house/biden-got-campaign-cash-major-russia-lobbyist-prior-refusing-sanctions
Biden got campaign cash from major Russia lobbyist prior to refusing sanctions on Russian pipeline
Richard Burt gave nearly $15,000 to 2020 campaign; DNC has returned the money.
The Joe Biden 2020 campaign received thousands of dollars from a major Russia lobbyist who is currently working on behalf of a Russian pipeline project the Biden administration has controversially declined to sanction.
Biden declined to sanction the pipeline not to help Russia but to help Germany.
Germany is an ally and it’s a good idea not to screw your allies.
And Biden is apologizing to Merkel and crew for having to deal with Trump for four years.
Merkel probably damaged her throat from gagging on all the stupid shit Trump said and did for four years.
There are still anti-Russian sanctions in place in regards to that pipeline.
And Russia is a paper tiger anyway – a dysfunctional kleptocracy with nuclear weapons.
Russia is still stinging from the collapse of the Soviet empire.
California alone has a higher GDP than Russia.
China is the real worry.
Are you that Stupid. It is American forces that are in Germany to protect it from Russia. The pipeline makes Germany and others vessels of Russia. It also is a noose around Ukraine’s neck.
I can go into detail but you don’t care about truth. You deflect from what is said and go onto another topic.
That method of debate is dumb, dumb, dumb.
Vassals, not vessels.
Biden refused to sanction the pipeline because he didn’t want to do damage to Germany.
Simple as that.
He has no interest in helping Russia, but less interest in damaging an ally.
That helped Russia tremendously and may have helped Germany a little bit. It hurt NATO, Europe, eastern Europe and especially Ukraine, and most importantly it hurt the US.
You have proven many of the points I have made. Biden is President of the US not Germany or Russia. He should be doing things to benefit the US. Instead he is doing things benefitting Russia and China our enemies. His family has been enriched through Biden’s influence.
You need to do something about your Stupidity.
You really think Biden wanted to ease pipeline sanctions to help Russia?
He didn’t.
He did it grudgingly, to help Germany, to apologize to Germany for having to deal with Trump for four years.
To apologize to Germany for running a country full of ignorant numbskulls like you.
Merkel understands. Germany is as embarrassed by Hitler as America is by Trump.
Ben, everyone can now quickly recognize you are an idiot.
Russia’s economy needs high oil prices and places to export. Biden has saved Russia’s A$$. Biden is supposed to advocate for America, not the Russians.
Biden is unwillingly advocating for Germany, not Russia.
To sanction the pipeline is to hurt Germany and as much as Biden doesn’t want to help Russia, he wants to hurt Germany even less.
So he has to make one of those presidential decisions that turn presidents gray.
This is how the BBC sees it: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57180674
If you think Biden is in bed with the Russians I have a Golden Gate Bridge I’d like to sell you.
Although I do wonder why Germany and western Europe don’t buy all their oil and gas from Norway.
They have oodles, and are benign.
“Biden is unwillingly advocating for Germany, not Russia.”
It is a Russian pipeline, not a German pipeline. There is plenty of oil from other places globally, which would keep Russia’s economy down while securing eastern Europe. Do you know anything about international affairs? It gives Russia power over Europe.
You so quickly forget how you wanted Trump to sanction Russia, and now you are providing them the pipeline.
Take note of the BBC article.
“But Yuriy Vitrenko, the chief executive of Ukraine’s state-owned energy company, Naftogaz, said Kyiv would press Washington to impose sanctions to stop the pipeline.
Mr Vitrenko said Nord Stream was Russia’s most “dangerous geopolitical project.”
The BBC gave various opinions. It certainly didn’t back up your lack of understanding.
If Biden had a choice, he would not back this pipeline and he would shut it down completely.
This is the guy who accused Putin of being a “killer,” remember?
He’s helping Germany. That’s why he’s doing it.
Ben like you Biden is a big talker but he carries a very small stick.
Biden isn’t a big talker.
He’s not really a good talker at all.
But he’s good at putting his head down and getting it done.
Trump was the talker.
He talked and talked while America swirled down the drain.
Using about as level a playing field that one can get along with an excellent basis of comparison, we see Trump reduced unemployment almost four times as fast as Obama. That was fantastic. It is even more incredible when recognizing that it gets harder to decrease as it reaches normal levels.
Biden’s policies have created wars, increased threats to American security, reduced effectiveness of NATO, permitted China to expand into the areas around them, and now is going to hand the Iranians the ability to have a nuclear bomb. Ben can’t defend any of these issues, so he runs around shooting his mouth off but says very little that is true.
Progressive believe that when conservatives make money it’s evidence of “corruption.” But when Dems sell influence, it’s a conspiracy theory.
Anonymous, there are two parts to your comment that are disingenuous at best. I note the use of the word “possibly” when referring to Giuliani’s working with Russians. You say that Giuliani might have met with the Russians but we know because of information on the laptop that Joe and Hunter did indeed meet with the Ukrainians. The “Russia” narrative is worn out. Secondly, your dismissal of the existence of Hunters laptop is laughable. If you could only get Joe and Hunter Biden to say that the laptop was not Hunter’s laptop then we could go along with your evaluation. You tell us that there is no laptop but Hunter has not denied that the laptop is his. The next thing you will tell us is that the pictures of a stoned Hunter Biden on the laptop are not really pictures of Hunter Biden. Hunter has not denied that the photos are of him. It is clear that in your mind the laptop has disappeared along with reality land.
Okay Hunter Biden is a troubled drug addict and a f******.
Tiffany Trump is an airhead.
What difference does that make?
Hunter Biden isn’t president.
Joe Biden is too smart to do dirty deals. He knows he would get caught.
The Republicans are taking advantage of Hunter Biden”s weakness and trying to cast shade on Joe Biden.
It’s not going to work.
After all their nasty dirty tricks and subterfuges Trump still lost and now he’s on the ash heap of history as the most failed president of the last 50 years.
If only his naive, corrupt idiot followers would commit Mass ritual seppuku.
Joe is too smart to do dirty deals? He denied that he knew anything about Hunters business dealings an then we find out that Joe and Hunter met with the his Ukrainian employers. Then he took Hunter to China to put a deal together. Boy that Joe Biden is smart as a whip.
Hunter Biden tied his father, Joe Biden, into pay for play schemes. It’s documented on paper and in the Bobulinski transcript.
Where’s the pay?
And don’t listen to anyone named Bobulinski.
He’s a paid Trump shill.
You keep talking Ben and making yourself sound more Stupid.
Bobulinski had nothing to do with Trump. You make up stories like you did with regard to unemployment. You are ignorant.
Bobulinski made a sworn statement, under oath. You calling him a liar?
Sure, why not? Trump was surrounded by professional, paid liars.
All his press secretaries lied through their teeth non stop.
Everyone has a price.
The guy looks like a shill.
“Where’s the pay?”
This is where Joe Biden proves he IS GOOD AT THIS CORRUPTION thing. He’s had nearly fifty years to figure out how to play the game.
Are you trying to tell us that Hunter and James Biden didn’t put a deal together with the Chinese worth 1.5 Billion or that Hunter didn’t get a 2.5 carat diamond. Where’s the pay you say. Let’s not forget Hunter getting $83,000 per month from a Ukrainian oil company for knowing nothing about oil. Where’s the pay indeed.
That’s Hunter. That’s not Joe.
He’s a troubled child who was doing lots of things he shouldn’t have been doing, but he did them.
It probably drove his dad nuts, but Joe was loyal to his troubled kid.
Might be CTE or something to explain his behavior.
But hw many dirty deals do you think Ivanka and Jared and Beavis and Butthead were involved in, hmmm?
Thinkthrough, show us where I said Hunter Biden’s laptop doesn’t exist.
The part I’m questioning is that contrived story about the repair shop in Delaware.
Let me say first time an independent In talking about Democrats and Republicans in today’s world that reminds me of Samuel Johnson’s quote about the Irish they’re very truthful people they never speak well of one another. their biggest football matches I had more Carnage and destruction end the January 6 protest turned into a riot. move the Democrats are determined to make this their right stock fire moment. holding some of the rioters for months now in terrible conditions. who do they think they are Abraham Lincoln? Well at least they have a writ of habeas corpus but holding someone for trespassing we’re 6 months without fail seems more than a bit draconian. Obviously, the Republicans to have a point and that billions of dollars worth of damage 20 and 30 people killed any Administration not Willing to investigate that make this an obvious political act. It’s also obvious to me that there Republican party is completely in bed with The same corporate sponges at fund the Democrats. on the border is being completely overrun by the cartels aren’t and basically, slave labor Latinos who will work off their indenture in the food industry that supports both parties. as well as thousands of impregnated 13 year old girls. some of them look like a 19 when they cross their legs so I’ve Been Told.
If Joe or Hunter can be proven to have committed crimes, I hope they are impeached or prosecuted respectively. As far as I am concerned, you can imprison them next to Trump’s cell.
As well he should, Turley points out Joe’s lies. I hope he likewise will acknowledge finally Trump’s/Fox’s Big Lie. I don’t believe he can avoid it because those rioters who stormed the Capitol are defending their conduct by claiming that they were motivated to do so by watching Fox News’ promoting Trump’s Stop the Steal lies.
I trust our resident legal analyst will analyze that defense. Maybe he won’t do so on account of his conflict of interest. The smart money is that blaming Trump/Fox will not excuse their actions. It will be fascinating to watch if Fox will cover these trials. It may call on Turley to appear publicly to claim that Fox is completely blameless because Fox is not responsible for the consequences of its broadcasts. Turley may throw under the bus these most loyal Trumpists in a bid to shift the blame away from his employer.
We shall see what Fox demands of him.
Remember that left wing Bernie supporter (white male) who went to a baseball field to shoot a bunch of Republican Congressmen and almost killed Congressman Scalise and two officers?
That nut was a devoted MSNBC Rachel Maddow viewer who was enraged by what he was being told night after night. And it was all lies.
Did MSNBC demand anything from Madcow, et al, and all their shows full of lies?
No. The media then did their best to bury the story and stop talking about the attempted massacre of Republicans on a baseball field.
Get over your fixation wtih Fox News.
Anonymous, show us coverage, by a recognizable source, saying that shooter was a Bernie Bro.
Anonymous, will time magazine do it for you as proof that the Scalise shooter was a Bernie supporter. You have to go all the way to paragraph eleven to find it but it’s there. https://time.com/4818165/steve-scalise-shooting-suspect-james-hodgkinson/. This is information that the rest of us have known for a long time. You could have easily Googled it for yourself if you weren’t so afraid that finding out the truth might upset your life and throw you into depression.
Thinkthrough, why should anyone be upset or thrown into depression?? Bernie Bros are as rabid as Trumpers. I just wanted to see what source you would post and what it actually said.
Anonymous the stupid 2, you always play these games to waste the time of others. You are not credible and shouldn’t be provided with anything.
Trump was impeached for asking Ukraine to look into the known corruption involving both Hunter and then VP Joe Biden.
Trump was then impeached for what Joe Biden actually did.
Joe Biden should be impeached.
But he won’t be.
He’s a member of the protected political class (Democrat).
Both Joe Biden’s brother and son are under federal investigation for money laundering and tax fraud, among other probable crimes.
They should be indicted and prosecuted.
But they won’t be.
Hunter Biden should be investigated and prosecuted for lying on a federal gun background check and throwing a gun in a garbage can across from a school.
But he won’t be.
Again, because they are members of the protected politcal class. (Democrat).
“Trump was then impeached for what Joe Biden actually did”. That is a lie. You are referring to Biden’s withholding loan guarantees to Ukraine unless they fired the do-nothing prosecutor. No, that’s not the same thing, because what Biden did was further foreign policy in the region, which was backed by the IMF, and Biden personally didn’t get anything out of it. What Trump did was shake down a foreign leader to benefit his presidential campaign, which is extortion and abuse of power.
Right. The “do-nothing prosecutor.” That’s the story and they are sticking to it.
Ukraine is a country with a corruption problem that Joe Biden was tasked with helping to fix. That is the “foreign policy” Biden was tasked with “furthering.”
The corruptocrats in Ukraine all knew that Hunter Biden was an active crack addict and drunk. But hey, daddy was the vice president of the United States so they said let’s see if the Bidens are for sale. Turns out yep, they were. Score!
We were assured that the prosecutor Shokin wasn’t fired because he was investigating Burisma, where Hunter sat on the board collecting a cool million a year for doing nothing but having the name Biden. No, Shokin was fired, we are told, because he *wasn’t* pursuing corruption among the country’s corrupt politicians.
Here they have the VP’s crackhead son actively participating in the corruption of the country, *being paid off* to sit on the board of Burisma, a well-know corrupt company, being investigated by prosecutor Shokin. All while daddy Biden, the sitting Vice President of the United States, was tasked with helping Ukraine deal with *its* corruption problems.
It’s laughable if it wasn’t all so corrupt.
Meanwhile Joe Biden insists he and Hunter did nothing wrong, nothing unethical.
Of course what they were doing was unethical and wrong! Obviously so.
It is technically not illegal, as they like to point out, and that is part of the problem. Why isn’t it illegal? Why was Hunter Biden able to fly around the world cashing in making deals, selling influence, taking bribes, payoffs from some of the most notoriously corrupt players, many of whom are now behind bars?
Because the lawmakers, who benefit from it NOT being illegal, will never change the laws. So the corruption continues.
The whole world knows the Bidens are for sale. The Biden family has made a family fortune doing this. It’s literally the family business. Selling Joe’s political office. Because Joe Biden is an unethical sellout of the greediest sort. Always has been. Anyone doing business in the state of Delaware knows this very well.
And let’s not forget that “10 percent” cut went to Hunter to hold for “the Big Guy,” as we learned in Hunter’s emails.
Joe Biden is worth $9 million. If he’s corrupt he’s not very good at it.
All the dirty dealings he supposedly is involved with have to do with Hunter Biden.
Sorry. Trump is the corrupticon.
Ben, sweetheart, brush that perfect hair of yours out of your eyes so you can see what’s going on. K?
This is what’s going on:
Republicans screw it up. Democrats clean it up.
Bush43 shit all over the table: started two wars that cost $10 billion a month, and left the economy in the Great Recession.
Obama brought in the Dream Team and fixed an American banking system on the verge of collapsing the worldwide banking system.
He salvaged the American auto industry that was on the verge of collapse.
And he gave the Green New Deal a kick in the pants by loaning Tesla $465 million, which has reaped tens of thousands of jobs and hundreds of billions in new wealth.
Obama saved the day and set the table and then the Democrats made a mistake by following a rockstar with Hillary Clinton – a smart, experienced woman who was unlikeable to most Americans – who aren’t ready for a woman president, and who are tired of the Clinton dog and pony show.
America will give a guy a shot.
They gave a shot to a half-black man with a Muslim middle name from a dysfunctional family from nowhere – from Hawaii – and he killed it.
So they gave a shot to a vulgar, greedy, morally and ethically corrupt game show host who lost a $25 million lawsuit for defrauding students and bragged about grabbing women by the pussy.
And true to expectation, Trump screwed it all up beyond imagination.
America elected a phony and a charlatan at the worst possible time.
America got swept by a worldwide pandemic that demanded competent leadership, and Trump didn’t have a clue.
He thumbed his lips with one hand and tweeted about the Bachelor and huffing Lysol with the other.
Trump fiddled as America burned, so America voted him out.
And to ice the cake of what a dirtbag Trump is, he lied about a stolen election and inspired a mob of mullet-headed idiot proles to raid the Capitol.
They destroyed property, threatened lawmakers and got people killed.
And now America has Biden, who will come in and save the day just as Obama had to after Trump shit all over the table.
And that is what Biden is doing, fending off phoney accusations of corruption by idiots who don’t know their asses from a hole in the ground.
Biden will fix the country just as Obama did, and hopefully the Democrats will mold another Obama-class rockstar to run for president in 2028.
All of that is way over the head of an ignorant prole like you, but whatever.
The future will happen without you,.
Reporters Cheer As Biden Takes Huge Bite Out Of Microphone Mistaking It For Ice Cream
https://babylonbee.com/news/reporters-marvel-as-biden-eats-a-microphone-after-mistaking-it-for-an-ice-cream-cone
“And now America has Biden, who will come in and save the day.”
THE END.
OMG. Ben that is such a sweet story you’ve made up.
Hahahahahahahaha HAHAHA HA Oh stop.
I’m laughing so hard.
Anyone else want to take this one and reply to Ben’s fairytale bedtime story? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
He’s saving it right now.
Head down. Getting it done.
Just as Obama saved the country after Bush43 screwed everything up.
Read The American Jobs Plan.
That’s vision. That’s MAGA.
That’s a continuation of the tremendous success Obama/Biden had loaning $465 million to Tesla and creating tens of thousands of jobs and hundreds of billions in wealth.
That’s the Green New Deal and Biden is all in.
Republicans screw it up. Democrats clean it up.
True for Obama after Bush43.
True for Jerry Brown after Schwarzenegger.
Now true for Biden after Trump.
I miss being energy independent under Trump and paying $1.79 a gallon for gas.
Has Biden made America more energy dependent?
Well Biden is gunning for an America that doesn’t burn fossil fuels at all and runs electric cars on renewable energy.
Someone with vision and leadership has to prepare for that future and it sure as shit wasn’t gonna be Trump.
His vision doesn’t extend past the tip of his Johnson.
He’s a guy who doesn’t have a future so why would he prepare for it?
He don’t care.
Biden is going to wean America off fossil fuels as fast as he can.
You should pay a lot for gas, just as you pay a lot for cigarettes and other toxicities.
Joe Biden isn’t saving anything.
His weakness and feebleness does not reassure anyone in the world that Joe Biden is in charge of jack squat.
He is being told what to do, when, and how.
This is Joe Biden’s “Salute the Marines” earpiece moment and it should give everyone pause:
To sum up: What VP Biden did was shake down a foreign country to benefit his own son’s blatantly unethical participation in the corruption, which is extortion and abuse of power.
The left is playing handball with Jeff’s head.
Jeff is saying: “If Joe or Hunter can be proven to have committed crimes, I hope they are impeached or prosecuted respectively. As far as I am concerned, you can imprison them next to Trump’s cell.”
Does he mean that? No. Trump hasn’t been convicted of anything, though the left has been trying to do that for five years. When Hunter’s laptop appeared in front of the nation, what did Jeff say? When Boboluszky gave his statement, where was Jeff?
Do we have to wonder where Jeff was? His TDS was causing him to level complaints at professor Turley.
‘His mental and physical condition cannot be ignored’: More than 120 retired generals and admirals sign open letter questioning Biden’s mental health and backing election fraud claims.

Biden’s Robbin’: 31 favors
The interaction between Biden and the media has degenerated into nothing but pathetic lovefests where apparently unskilled journalists have become so aggressively biased and shabby in their reporting they don’t even bother hide the fact they are running cover or amateurish saccharine distraction fluff pieces and they edit or change simple facts or quotes to hide Bidens true state of mind.
According to anonymous, unnamed, super secret sources, when Biden was asked what would he say to Republicans who are prepared to block the Jan. 6 commission he DID reply they should eat something, but the last word was definitely not “chip.” Just sounded like it.
Pipe dreams, corruption and ice cream . This is your President America. Congratulations!
Joke Buydem and communists (liberals, progressives, socialists, democrats, RINOs) in America can break no laws because they are engaged in nullifying America, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, as they impose the Communist Manifesto, if not merely its dominant principles.
This is a noble, honorable and imperative effort in the eyes of global communism and the treasonous American defectors are to be commended, not denigrated, prosecuted or, otherwise, stopped dead in their tracks.
The Chinese Communist Party of Communist China has paid them handsomely in various forms (the sniveling Comrade John Sena just obtained $136M (USD) by the simple act of groveling on his knees before the communist Chinese “dictatorship of the proletariat”).
No American is capable of or willing to defend America, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Communists (liberals, progressives, socialists, democrats, RINOs) strike fear in the hearts of men.
Where are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Ben Franklin, John Jay, James Mason, Nathan Hale, Patrick Henry et al. when America needs them?
These brave souls signed their own death warrants and bills of attainder in order that Americans would be free, not partially free or free in name only, but maximally free under severely limited and restricted government, in perpetuity.
The Founders were sufficiently prescient, however, to leave a message for the last Americans to heed at the Apocalypse:
“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
– Declaration of Independence, 1776
It almost seems as though MSM and social media are giving in-kind donations to the DNC (and continue to do so) and Biden campaigns through censorship and failure to report on or investigate any scandals involving Biden and other Dems.
