    Meantime, while you are spending your time d*ck measuring and trying to equal the dissing, only one party is capable of governing the country.

    I thought the most damning thing from the report was that Hunter had accepted $3.5M from the wife of the Moscow mayor, and had then engaged in abusing women in the sex trafficking world. I bet this doesn't get any air play on MSM. Hunter Biden. Known illegal acts by everyone, including John Kerry, his Dad the VP Joe, and the President, then Obama.

    I think I can guess why CNN isn't even whispering about this now....

    The couple primarily made its money from book deals. Joe and Jill Biden reported about $10 million in 2017 income from CelticCapri and Giacoppa, S-corporations paid for their book deals and speaking engagements.

    The report released today was a big nothingburger (just repackaging the same BS in a different package).

    It won't move the needle in the least, and the only people who even care are people who have been chasing down rabbit holes (for years) looking for nothingburger after nothingburger.

    Tl;Dr--There is nothing new here, and it won't move the needle.:bored:

    Because it’s a nothing burger. A conflict of interest would be the president renting office space to foreign govts. Like he does with Qatar.

    huh? No he made them pay large sums of money to the Clinton Foundation...he didn't provide them with a service or product like a hotel room and housekeeping like a hotel would have.

    It was a clear cash payment, that resulted in larger deals.

    The Saudis got nothing different from staying in a Trump property....actually they have a long history of staying in Trump properties long before he was President, they seem to like the quallifty service....

    Trump was rerouting flights into Scotland to the airport closest to his Scottish golf course requiring the crews to stay and eat at his property. He made Pence and his entourage stay at his Irish hotel golf resort ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE COUNTRY FROM WHERE THERE BUSINESS WAS, IN DUBLIN??????

    Both parties are capable of mismanaging the country. I am not spending my time measuring body parts, but overreach can also be done by those with tiny little hands.

    Nowhere on that link doe it say he got money from a book....it has money he earned via interest from insurance polices, looks like wife's retirement, and senate pension...and money from a pass through company he has.....but where did that money come from?
    According to this link, the S-Corps made millions, but only paid the Bidens a little...where is the rest of the money? and more importantly where did it come from?

    Those are things the 1040 will never show you.

    It’s an obvious conflict of interest. And so is this:

    I bet it doesn't either.... the MSM will consider the sourcing...

    Maybe you can connect Kamala to Benghazi?? I bet that's an angle your side hasn't considered yet...

    LOL... the head of the DHS is unaware of $6 million contracts it is making?

    Well, actually, since he's an illegal head of the DHS, I guess his incompetence is only to be expected...

    Good catch, Mello

    This tool won't even get a mercy vote for confirmation from a Manchin or Sinema, just like Ratcliffe

    EDIT - Just a thought.. I wonder if the Acting secretary has an Acting wife? His boss does...

    Not really 1) he hasn't been confirmed yet, but 2) more importantly your link says the consulting firm has a long history of getting Federal Contracts 3) if Wolf was the one awarding the contracts himself that might be different, but that's not the case at all.

    and there is no conflict between someone staying a hotel the president has an investment in....none at all....in particular because the Saudis have a long history of staying at Trump properties...it's not like they changed the stands

    There is a clear conflict as the US Senate found in what Biden was doing with his son. He was running the Ukrainian policies for the Obama Admin, his son was working for one of the most corrupt companies in Ukraine

    It has a 19.4 billion dollar budget...no he isn't likely aware of a $6 million dollar contract
