The judge in the Hunter Biden case said Wednesday she is not ready to accept the plea deal struck between the president’s son and the Justice Department, and asked both parties to submit additional briefs and return to the court on a future date.
I don’t get the fascination with Hunter Biden that Republicans and Trumpists have. He’s a private citizen; he doesn’t work for his father, or benefit his father in any way. Not that is apparent, anyway; and Joe Biden seems to me to be far too ethical to allow such in any event.
Is it just that Republicans/Trumpists believe that the President’s kids always work for their father (i.e. Ivanka, Jared, Donald Jr.), and therefore what the kids do is always to benefit the father?
If Hunter Biden is a bad apple, that’s fine, such things happen. But I don’t see where his affairs have anything to do with his father, which Republicans/Trumpists seem to think is the case.
This is the answer. Along with Republicans and Trump most ironically coining the term “Biden crime family”.
It all boils down to their guy is slimy and dirty and appears to be breaking laws left-and-right, so they gotta manufacture some stuff about our guy that’s at least as bad. Some of it will stick, true or not.
I’ve seen that. I just wish Republicans/Trumpists would make up their minds.
Joe Biden is either a mastermind Godfather in charge of a crime family, or he’s a doddering old fool, suffering from dementia. I guess that he’s whatever they want him to be when it suits their purposes.
And that’s why they’ll never change. It’s not about facts or logic or consistency. It’s about giving all the deplorables some excuse for not voting Democrat. Some will do it because “Biden is senile”, some because “Biden is an evil genius”, some because “Biden is a secret crime lord”, some because “Biden is a bad father”. Everybody latches onto their favorite excuse, and it doesn’t bother them if everyone else is using a different excuse, even if their excuses are mutually incompatible. “Just so long as we all agree that Biden is trash” is all they care about.
The cries grow weaker as the evidence mounts. Trump is a separate issue. Biden has a lifetime record of lies. I have to wonder if the justice dept and the FBI are simply blinded by bias or does it go much deeper. It seems not many here really want the facts. If the shoe were on the other foot conservatives would be insisting the facts came out.
“To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself – that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word ‘doublethink’ involved the use of doublethink.” – George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four
Can you name a few of them? I am genuinely interested in what people think Biden’s lies are. I am not going to challenge if they are, in fact, lies, but I am interested in what they are? Can you list a few?
You’ve presented no evidence for any of this. It really appears like you just have a deep personal problem with Biden, because I’ve never seen you actually present facts to support what you say about him.
