    Heard on the internet: Hunter Biden was so personally offended by the Russian military adventurism in the Ukraine that he sent a million dollars back to Putin.

    Well, the OP certainly demonstrates that you rely more on internet rumors than any actual news.

    It's almost impossible to recognize sarcasm here.

    Learn that satire has to actually be based on something in order to be meaningful.

    Sounds more like the left is so consumed with sucking at the teat of Biden they can't even recognize sarcasm when they hear it no matter how ridiculous the claim.
    You actually thought there was a internet story about that?
    Pretty funny

    I read the "report." It's just that I actually did my homework . . . unlike the parrots endlessly copy/pasting this fake news. What the Senate report actually showed (and, note, the report provided NO sources for this . . . NOT A ****ING ONE) was that a guy who used to be a municipal leader died and then later his widowed wife spent 3.5 million on a contract with a company that had a similar name to a company cofounded by Joe Biden's son . . . spawning endless fake news, idiotic conspiracies, and zombie propaganda. It's not the dumbest conspiracy theory Trumpists have invented, but it is one of the worst.

    Sarcasm only makes sense if there is something to base it on. Oooooh, I get it. So this thread is about mocking Trumpists for being idiots for falling for the "Putin paid Biden" lunacy in the first place? Okay, well in that case you have a good point. Everyone who mindlessly and slavishly swallowed this bull **** should be ashamed of themselves.

    Excellent. Then maybe you are interested in the facts. That would be rad.

    The "connection" was that a guy who used to be the mayor of Moscow had a woman who used to be married to him who bought a contract with a company that had a name similar to a company the Hunter had once-upon-a-time cofounded (and even all of those "connections" were unsourced). Anyone with two brain cells to rub together can see why those "connections" are dumber than a sack of hammers.

    That is why you need the /S. Sarcasm is easy to spot when you say it to another person with body language and inflections but extremely hard to interpret from reading a written post on the internet.

    It is common knowledge that Hunter got close to a million dollars from the wife or widow of a top Russian official and oligarch.

    So this woman gave a million dollars to Hunter because she got a company name mixed up?????? Anyone with two brain cells to rub together can see why that logic is dumber than a sack of hammers.

    Nice to see you got the mostly joke. The left have no sense of humor. Too hateful, I guess.
