I clicked, wanted to make sure I wasn’t being biased and ignoring news I didn’t like…

That article, what little I could get through of it, reads like it was written by a failing high school student, at best.

Unsure if the author is brain dead, the target audience is brain dead, or most likely both.

Pretty sure both, wow

What specifically did you take issue with?

It’s just poorly-worded and written like a late-night tv infomercial. That should be your first clue, whenever the tone of the content is speaking to you like you’re stupid or gullible.

“Does Joe Biden eat children for breakfast?! Wait until you see what we’ve uncovered. EVERYBODY KNOWS Sleepy Joe is hiding something, don’t let him Destroy America and Take Your Freedom!!!”

This is something that just happened in your mind.

I, too, tried to give this a fair read. But, there is nothing in this article except opinionated media bashing and quite stretching “conclusions”.

Move along, trash.

WordPress favicon is the sign of a truly reputable article.

What a load of crap. It's the equivalent of "If the sun suddenly exploded it would be really bad for Biden!". This is almost literally some GQPs wet dream. There are no facts in that "article" just the same conspiratorial ravings that they failed to prove last time, they're just dusting them off now that Hunter is getting raked over the coals to appease the GOP. This will end the same way, yes Hunter committed some crimes that he's already been tried for and found guilty, but no he's not a government employee and Joe had nothing to do with it.

I'm not getting anything interesting from this article. It doesn't connect any dots.

Is Joe Biden near the end of his political life? Well, yeah, he is very old. I'll be surprised if he makes it through his second term.

Did Hunter Biden benefit from his political connections to get on the board of Burismo? Probably. Is that wrong? Yes, it is wrong in the same way that all rich people and politicians of all stripes find ways to benefit themselves, their friends and relatives, using money and influence.

Was it wrong for America to support the overthrow of the Russian puppet government in Ukraine? No. Was it wrong to advocate to get rid of Viktor Shokin? Seemingly not. Everyone except Russia wanted to get rid of him. Ukrainians seem pretty enthusiastic about shrugging off Russian influence.

So, I'm struggling to see why I should care about Hunter Biden in particular. It seems like a generic case of benefitting from his connections and surname. But who was harmed?

You mean he'll be indicted with 91 charges? Is that a bad thing now?

What an incoherent pile of mental gymnastics. They are all garbage. Including Trump and Biden. Now fuck off.

If Republicans really want the facts to come out then they can vote for an impeachment inquiry in the house. I wonder why they are not taking that route.
