David87 thinks it's a "non story" when the vice president's son sits on the board of a major energy company in a country the VP's admin is heavily involved with

 

Sigh.

I heard they found some new emails on Anthony Weiner’s computer from Hunter Biden.

 

Are you claiming that Hunter Biden never sat on the board of Burisma, a natural gas company, and that during that time Joe Biden never visited the country as Vice President, and pushed it to change its sourcing of its natural gas? That would be weird considering that's much more true than the made up Weiner emails

 

if this is not really Tom Delonge: shut the fuck up

If this is really Tom Delonge: can i have some money

 

It reeeeeally looks to me like David’s the one who didn’t learn any lessons from 2016 in this conversation.

 

Nothing suspicious about Hunter who secretly dated his brother's widow

 

why can't this take out both trump and biden

 

Exactly

 

Wharf’s point was that these “BS narratives” aren’t going to disappear when Biden is the nominee. And if beating Trump is at all something you want, a Biden nomination should be something you actively look to avoid at all costs. Deflecting any sort of criticism of him ahead of the primaries—regardless of who it’s coming from—in the name of protecting the “most likely” Dem nominee is not going to save us.

 

It’s a nothing story.

 

From the same thread:

I’d also add “deflecting any sort of criticism” is different than “pointing out that some of the criticism is right wing bullshit fake scandals” and desperate left wingers trying to latch onto it now after watching what the media did in 2016 with their coverage and the huge mistakes there is pretty depressing.

 

This is a story about Joe Biden pressuring the head prosecutor of Ukraine to stop investigating his son, which is nonsense. His son did sit on the board of a company that was paying him $300k over 5 years during a period where the Obama/Biden administration pressured that country to shift toward domestic natural gas producers like Burisma and generally was very involved with that government.

 

Because one of them is a completely made up scandal that’s been relatively thoroughly debunked at this point and people playing along with it is really really bad.

 

Of which there is zero proof they did so just to help Hunter Biden. There is, however, plenty of proof Obama/Biden wanted to hurt Russia and Russian oil exports while also continuing their “all of the above” climate goals of pushing natural gas as a ‘clean’ alternative to oil around the world.

But yeah, despite the obvious policy motives there, it was definitely about making Hunter Biden an average annual salary for a teacher or something.

You’re all in on Uranium One aren’t you?

 

“Invite me on stage to sing you coward!”

 

Lol you're right my bad it was $3M, $50k/month or $600k/year. You're giving a comically narrow set of qualifications for corruption and you know it. A family member using your name to get a job he's not qualified for where he and the people who hired him are poised to benefit monetarily from the policies you're going to push for is absolutely corrupt even if you were going to push those policies anyway. That's silly

 

great and enjoyable thread you guys are both doing great thanks guys it’s nice im

 

What’s silly is you acting like THIS is the story, especially when it’s something that’s already been investigated

 

Where the tulsi stans now tho?

 

Him?
