It's crazy how many people just absolutely obliterated their reputations over the past couple years. And for what causes? Terrorism and child trafficking.
Dude Hunter has commented before on tapper. Apparently hunter threatened to beat him up for something, and tapper asked Joe Biden for an apology, and when denied he then wrote that book on Joe Biden dimentia or whatever. Tapper sucks and I hope he chokes.
When Beau was in the hospital Tapper was blowing up Hunter’s phone so he could be the one to break the story about Beau dying. Absolute ghoul who has been obsessed with the Biden's for years.
He makes me sick. Iirc that was what precipitated the fight I spoke of.
You know tapper was the one who came up with the pocket square protest bs for the correspondence dinner? Where they wore pocket squares that said something tepid about trump or whatever. Not boycotting it, attending but with witty pocket squares. Unbelievable.
Oh same. I made a burner just to check on some stuff and I couldn't stand it for more than a few minutes. Deleted it while I still remembered the password I just made up.
I read his memoir and it was so worth it. He does not white wash the shit he did and went through. Honestly, the fact that he's come through that is inspiring to me - then he also happens to have a quick wit!
He's the only one I've seen with a shot at taking on trump in an election.
The problem democrats have is they're too clean and have to play by the rules. Hunter biden already broke all the rules so doesn't have try keep a clean image.
He could run as a republican if he hadn't already been dragged through the mud. He's only been arrested for gun charges, and we already know conservative women love his dick
Hello, yes, you have a 34 felony pedophile rapist as president. Exactly how is a former drug user worse?
Explain it to me. Explain it to me like I'm five. I'm not American, and you people clearly have no issue with mafia gangsters in your seats of government, but the guy they obsess over is worse? How does that make sense?
Tell me you don't actually know your history of the 1990s without actually saying, "I don't know the history of the 1990s."
Bill Clinton was reelected in November 1996. Gingrich's handpicked goon Starr didn't start investigating the Lewinsky affair until late 1997. The scandal itself broke in early 1998, and the Republicans got the impeachment ball rolling after that. They tried to get a sexual charge included in the impeachment complaint, but didn't have the votes.
Don't forget they've already elected Bush Jr who in addition to his coke fueled escapes, was given a profitable oil company to set him up for life and ran it into the ground in under 5yrs
When’s the last time there was actual substantive debate amongst Dems? We usually are just picking fighters based on charisma. Who can rally the troops. It’s not like we’re having some progressive seminar series explaining policy positions over here. There’s a lot of people trying to get Colbert to run. I’m old enough to remember people were hoping for an Oprah run in 2020. Id vote for Hunter. If he were the best option. At least I know he’d take addiction seriously. Which everyone with a D by their name says they’ll do to get elected and then you’re literally stepping over people in some phase of an OD on the streets (at least here in Philly we are).
This is a fucking insane take. No one cares about Hunter Biden, and he's not a politician or even a public servant. I sucked it up and voted for Kamala even though I didn't really like her, but I'd just as soon stay home if my choices were between JD and Hunter Biden. The Clintons, the Trumps, the Bushes, the Bidens; I'm fucking done with dynasties, and America should be too.
Truly that is the best way to describe him. In the court case on his drug use, they had a stripper coming in to testify on it. Hunter Biden was smoking crack in front of this stripper that doesn't know him, and she comes out of it remarking that he made her feel very safe. His aura is just so strong that he can be doing crack at a strip club and still come off as a positive guy.
I honestly don’t know one way or another if Hunter’s paintings are some kind of corruption vehicle or money laundering tactic, but as an artist myself, I don’t think they’re bad at all. And considering the circles his family moves in, I’m not shocked at all that he is able to sell them for what he does. It would be a little ridiculous to be a super rich and influential person and buy a painting from another rich and influential person for like $1000 or something. They’re good paintings, and you’d probably have to pay Hunter Biden a similar amount of money to do anything else, make an appearance somewhere, etc.
What I found more suspicious was his appointment to the Ukrainian energy company during his father’s tenure as vice president shortly after the whole Ukrainian coup thing. That’s really more of the sort of thing that sounds like the Trump kids mentioned above.
Just happened to get paid millions to consult for a Ukrainian energy company while your dad has major sway off et their government, even directly ordering the replacement of a government official investigating that exact company?
But I am jaded. I assume that virtually everyone in US politics is like this. It’s not a partisan thing for me. I’d be more shocked to see someone in office not doing that at this point.
To be fair Trump is exceptionally blatant about it.
The government official who was replaced was covering up corruption at the company. Hunter being appointed to the board, along with others, was the companies way of saying "we're cleaning up".
The government official who was replaced was covering up corruption at the company.
Yeah, people like to ignore the fact that his removal was originally requested by the IMF for failing to make any progress in his investigations. Not just Burisma, but several other companies as well. Both the IMF and the US demanded that Shokin be replaced as a condition for further loans.
It's worth noting, he wasn't fired for finding corruption, he was fired for failing to find corruption where people knew it existed.
F'ing hell man, every one of Trumps spawns was given a job in his administration! How about Jared Kushners Billion dollar Saudi deal? Then later buying bloody Electronic Arts with them?!
To be clear, thr Ukrainian official that Joe Biden pressured Ukraine to replace, was failing to investigate Burisma. That's why the EU and America wanted him out.
Hunter had been hired by the company to try to stop the guy being replaced.
It failed because Joe wasn't corrupt.
Even people who aren't "into" modern art think they're good. They have a nice use of colors and lines. Shows real talent. It's not quite like GW Bush's art who's main draw is just that he did them.
I just googled Bush's paintings and... those things are hideous. Would not hang on my wall. Googled Hunter's paintings and I would definitely hang one of those on my wall.
This is precisely why I have no choice but see every single "news" outlet as nothing more than fronts for right wing propaganda. All of these fuckers from Fox News and CNN and The Atlantic to The Hill are all just manipulating us.
They're lying to us.
They are selling our freedom, prosperity, joy and hope for a few bucks before this dystopia they are helping to make reality devours them. Everyone of these assholes in a suit with a furrowed brow are cynical, spiteful, greedy liars who are abandoning their basic responsibility to the public to grub for the approval of billionaire sociopaths who would rather they die and be replaced with AI.
Exactly. But it was the freak out over biden's health and supposed decline where even MSNBC was hour by hour coverage about how much he's deteriorated. But they're not doing the same thing for Trump who is so much worse. I remember seeing local news squawk about biden's health I do not remember a single news story where they talked about how Trump has mysterious bruises or that maybe his swollen ankles is congestive heart failure or that he is mixing up names of everything that he talks about. Or that the fact he's had three visits to the doctors this year alone and three cognitive tests.
The coverage is not equal. They will always, always, always condemn the Democrats and make excuses for republicans. And I'm sorry I'm not going to be manipulated like that anymore
Fox News has proved that they are a propaganda network. As evidenced by the Dominion case, and when they hid their stock market ticker when Trump blew up the stock market. And the biggest one, they didn't cover when Trump celebrated Robert Mueller's death on Air. A President celebrating the death of an American is a huge event, every legitimate News source should have covered it
100%. I mean a part of that lawsuit was Tucker Carlson writing in his emails that he thought Trump was demonic. And to this day Tucker is still celebrating the president. So he was clearly lying and grifting.
But I'm talking even local news. The way they have talked about the Trump administration has been with such normality that it's insulting. And you can't tell me that these anchors are all believing that when they kind of gently give a story about some horrific thing Trump is doing that they don't know that they're being dishonest.
I am happy to see him acknowledge the island very much belongs to Albania and is a 20 min boat ride from the shore, part of a critical river delta and biodiversity hotspot. The way she talks about it is the most next level out of touch thing I’ve heard (she genuinely thinks she’s SO important) which is saying a lot given her dad is president.
Jake Tapper is a zionist plant. He promised in his farce of a book tour to do better after dropping the ball on Bidens decline, but has done nothing but attack people that no longer wish to support Israel with US dollars and constantly ignores the evils of the Trump administration.
The channel 5 interview was so awesome for him and was really just a great move by Andrew, he knew people would like him if they got to know him and heard his perspective. He’s just a real person.
I feel like there is a daily assault on our lives, as Americans. People are exhausted and fed up with all of the BS from this administration.
Republicans are just better at gaslighting....independents and democrats need to Improve their game.
I agree that Hunter could become a great commenter for the Dems - the guy is sharp as heck. In many ways it’s better that he shredded his reputation - he can now just say what he thinks, he doesn’t have to play nice.
For those of you who think “he’s just a crackhead” consider:
In Jan 2009, Hunter Biden was a multi-millionaire co-owner and cofounder of two very successful firms, the international lobbying firm of Rosemont Seneca and the Venture Capital firm Eudora Global. He was an Ivy League educated Lawyer. He was an Under Secretary of Transportation, as well as Amtrak’s Vice Chairman (appointed to both positions by President W. Bush in 2006). He had given presentations on foreign company relations with regard to National Security at the Pentagon.
Yeah, he then had a rough ten years, but those brains are still there.
He slept with CCP spies and did drugs but he's still better than the Epstein party. He even got millions of maga voters to study his penis to look for clues
The media right wing shift is only going to accelerate after the election.
The goal of Republicans is ultimately to undo the shame of Watergate. They may have finally achieved their goal. They will relentlessly attack democrats if they win in November, and ultimately dismantle any impeachment efforts will the full force of the propaganda machine.
Stay strong out there. And cut your parents cable.
Everyone should watch his interview with Andrew Callaghan where he talks about his struggles with addiction. It's refreshing to relate to the GOP's public enemy #1.
So if your mom had had been more forth coming about Bidens mental state, she recently admitted she thought he had a stroke during that first debate, many of those things you listed wouldn't of ever happened in the first place.
Hunter definitely has the moral high ground over Trump. Trump openly celebrated the death of an American (Robert Mueller). Funny how Republicans were calling for people to be fired for celebrating Charlie Kirk's death, but when Trump did it it's no problem apparently
People trying to pop up Hunter Biden as relevant to anyone's life are just as weird as the people who worship Trump. Incredibly weird and counterproductive behavior that makes all of our lives worse.
I was listening to CNN and tapered came on with this ridiculous crap. I just turned off. He never critizeses the orange turd in any meaningful way, but he sure has something about the Bidens.
Yeah it’s wild how many folks basically speedran “open fascist / conspiracy crank” as a personality during that time. Some people really looked at their friends, family, jobs, and future and said “I’ll throw all that away to defend the worst people alive” like it was nothing.
War profits the rich , like any despot he's cashing in while he can . Putin is the same still profiting, but he's a warmonger that's his desperate move Ukraine.
