    Is this story that if you have the right name you get better options and more likelihood of success?

    I’m glad you admit this is all based on no evidence

    To a degree I will admit people take advantage of opportunities, Biden's brother and son are no different. But Joe Biden, as a politician, should have been aware of the ethical situation he created when he used his influence to help his son and brother in their business dealings. If you work in the corporate world, then I'm sure you've taken classes which state that not only are you required to avoid inappropriate behavior, but you're also required to avoid the appearance of inappropriate behavior. In the case of Biden's brother, the company he went to work for got a $1.5 billion dollar contract less than a year after he got hired and the company openly stated that having a VP as the brother of one of their employees opened doors for them. Now that might be OK in the business world, but it's not if you're a politician.

    After 3+ YEARS (you may want to consider some Fresh Material).

    Nothing personal, or course. Just a friendly suggestion.:salute:

    Anyway, as to the (5 1/2 Year Old) "news" in the OP?

    It is Ancient History and isn't even relevant.

    That said, that 5 1/2 Year Old "news" illustrates how far back that the RW is reaching for anything to pound this absurd (and thoroughly DEBUNKED) Biden/Ukraine Conspiracy.

    May of 2014? :roflol:

    Biden using his office to influence situations for family members is tied to the current event that he’s running for office.

    You used it way more than I have. It was great. You had such conviction, like you always do.

    It's a proven FACT he was making 50 grand a month for a subject he knows nothing about and in a giant "coincidence" his daddy just happened to be the VP.

    Now you can choose partisan blindness but what you CANT do, is change the facts, only demonstrate the power of denial. :hiding::toilet::thumbsdown::rolleyes:

    I find it really disheartening to see Trumpists go nuts about Hunter Biden and his possible corruption while ignoring their hero an his...very telling. Do they really fear his dad that much or is it just a way to avoid facing an unpleasant reality?

    It is more of a way of showing you that the Dems are just as dirty, perhaps even more so, as anyone else.

    ….uh...Hunter Biden is NOT "the dems", and even his Dad is not in office....remember? Let alone the fact that Hunter didn't even do anything beyond taking a sweet job.

    It's news in the fact that the arrangement then is relevant to the claims that democrats are trying to base impeachment on now. The Dems made it newsworthy and something people should be aware of as they form opinions.

    And you see nothing shady in that? 50grand a month, zero experience and his daddy just happened to be VP at the time. You actually see nothing concerning in that? Really?

    Of course he does. But he doesn't care about corrupt politicians that serve his interests.

    Politics: the strife of interest masquerading as the contest of principles.

    I can certainly see Hunter taking advantage of the situation and profiting off his daddys connections...not pristine but not illegal. What I do not see is Trumpists calling out Trump for doing far worse...Hell the guy is peddling his Presidency and you guys defend him. He courts the worst international leaders while snubbing Allies and Cheats on his pregnant wife but it seems that is Okay for some reason so you pick on his rivals son for doing what you would have done so no one will pay attention to what your hero does.....sickening.

    You realize you just gave the Bidens a total pass for profiting from the office? Your little group insult, is petty and childish. And LOL @ you telling me what I would have done. And you really want to judge on infidellity? Have you paid any mind to your own party?

    Just because they are "facts" (that he was paid a certain amount) does NOT mean that they are "relevant".

    It is a "fact" that the Desert contains Sand. That doesn't make it relevant to a conversation about the College Bowl Playoff.

    But, Hey--People are free to "believe" whatever they want.

    If it makes someone happy to believe that there was something "sinister" about Hunter Biden, they are welcome to their opinion.

    If you owned a company, would you want a no name that couldn't add to your value?
    Not me.

    Fact: Biden's brother and son profited from their father's influence who was VP at the time. Do you think that's appropriate on Joe Biden's part?

    No more than Trump's kids making millions off daddy's name, but of course that is nepotism.

    I do it for the same reason you excuse Biden. Trump may be corrupt but I don't care so long as he pursues policies I like.

    Why shouldn't I?
