As a Pats fan he pissed me off. He should have retired, not like he needs the $ or the rings. Now if he sucks in Tampa people will say it was Bilichick especially if the Pats go to the playoffs without him.

#33. You left out that the GOP created corona. You have it?

All that said, I try to be an ethical person and this was wrong IMHO. But also speaking frankly, Hunter would have been a fool to turn the job down. And what did he or Joe do that was wrong either ethically or legally beyond him taking the job?

Well in this day and age of extremely dirty politics, and digging up dirt has gone over the top in the last 4 years from the left, this is more than fair game especially since Joe is running for POTUS. Look at all of Gal Tues's posts, she wants the Trump's kid put in prison. That's not going to help Biden get a pass.

That's not what reports say. We need to look into it:
'The New Yorker' Uncovers Trump Hotel's Ties To Corrupt Oligarch Family
SHAPIRO: The hotel has never opened, but the name at the top is still there, Trump. The Trump Organization says that branding was the only involvement they had. In other words, they were just a licensor. Adam Davidson of The New Yorker says that's not entirely accurate.
DAVIDSON: They were intimately involved in this building. They had a profit share. They weren't owners, but Trump staff were flying over for quite a while every month to oversee every aspect of the building...
SHAPIRO: Including Trump's daughter Ivanka.
DAVIDSON: Ivanka, she went once, but from New York, I'm told she was involved in every decision. She was - she was intimately involved. And that's really important for legal reasons that they were so involved.

That's what they do when a hotel gets branded. You have people watch it to see if it deserves your brand. And Davidson is a political hack, his stories are based on "people with knowledge", or "it was reported". Reported by who and based on what. He said earlier that Ivanka was involved extensively and then admits she went once.

Here's one: I saw Biden brag that he held up the money to Ukraine unless the prosecuter was fired who was investigating the company his kid worked for. "People with knowledge" have said Biden told Burisma that he would get him fired if they gave him 40 million dollars through his son. I guess if Davidson's "people with knowledge" make it so than my "people with knowledge" do as well.

#41 They were building a hotel and trying to pay Trump to use his name on it like many others around the world. Ivanka's job is to see if it would be worth while. They tried some sample marketing and decided not to do it. Maybe it was because they found out they were dealing with crooks or maybe just because it didn't make business sense. Either way it never happened. But if you want you can say that Ivanka was involved in a major money laundering attempt if it gets your panties in a wad......again.

Joe asked Hunter "Do you know what you're doing?" and Hunter said yes. The rest is history, and of course, Hunter could not know that his father would run for President again and his actions would become a political controversy. But here we are.

Another problem Mr. Grownup, Biden said he didn't know his son worked for Burisma and then this comes out. Why is that? Maybe Joe forgot.

#28 I don't think they were kicked out of the military, left a crack pipe in a rental car with their driver's license, got busted for smoking crack in a nightclub, started a hedgefund and lost it and all the investor's money in a short period of time. And on top of it the other board members at Burismo left and told him to get the hell out which he didn't do. I would take Trump's kids as employees over this mess.

#22 He was the Vice President of the United States and in charge of that part of the world. One day after you grow up you will get some common sense.

#18 Problem is Hunter went on TV, sounded like a dope and admitted the only reason he got the job was because of his father but hey, never mind that. It was dumb, and it was dumb that Joe let it happen.

You try to justify Humpy's criminal behavior By whining about what those vicious Democrats are doing.#14 | POSTED BY DONNERBOY AT 2020-03-06 10:19 AM | FLAG:

We don't justify criminal behavior, we just point out that the evidence of it is made up and then we are proven right. It's become too predictable after 4 years. And why does the left keep coming up with it? Because fools like Donner are so easy mislead.

Trump on the other hand is owned by the Russians.

Keep it up Hillary, worked well for you last time. Idiots are incapable of learning.

Judge Reggie Walton has ordered the Justice Department to hand over to him a copy of the unredacted Mueller report
Yeah, coverup Barr is not going to do that. Fat Nixon and the most transparent administration ever has to keep his crimes swept under the DOJ rug. He was promised the next SCOTUS seat in exchange for ignoring the rule of law and court decisions that are not favorable to dear leader.

Senate Dems have already seen the unredacted version. I am sure if there was more to the report Schumer would have told the world. But you haters can keep dreaming.

There is plenty of dirt on Trump and Biden needs to get busy dredging for it.

#3 | POSTED BY DANNI AT 2020-03-06 06:27 AM | FLAG:

Sure, start digging up dirt on Trump now because it hasn't been done for the last 4 years. Can you be any more out of touch?

The Biden's denials of wrongdoing have been entirely accurate. Hunter Biden should have quit the Burisma board, or his father should have withdrawn from the lead role on Ukraine.

Funny that these two lines are in the same paragraph.

Burisma?

I'm sorry to see Elizabeth Warren drop out but, now that she has, I think she should stay in the Senate where she has shown herself to be a great voice for progressive causes. All of the Senators who have competed and dropped out need to get back to the Senate, we need all of them there.

There is good reason it is an overlooked point. Maybe Biden was running for her senate seat?

It just doesn't feel right to see her lose like this without you hateful deplorables rubbing salt in her wounds.
Come on now. We have come to expect it so we will be so disappointed and we won't know how to act all indignant if you all suddenly stop spewing your hateful venom.

Corkys quick today.

AG Coverup still runs the Justice Dept. and would have her arrested, thrown in jail, and prosecuted. The Trump administration scum didn't have to worry about that because of AG Coverup.

And the blowback from the visuals of seeing that on tv might be worth it.
It would thrill his base but disgust the rest of America. Sadly. There is no saving the deplorables. But angering the rest of America might be worth it.

Maybe with her but I would like to see the Durham report expose Comey, Brennon and Clapper for the crimes they commited. They ruined lives based on lies that they thought they could get away with simply because the positions they held and because they were sure Hillary would get elected and it would be swept under the rug. If the Trump administration did this prior to 2020 the Dems would call for heads.

She should just not show up,

She can show up and give more "I don't recall" testimony.

Funny how Trump makes a joke and Dems go absoluely off the handle. That is why he does it btw, snow flakes are so easily triggered. You really need to get a life, or at least a job.

So what you're saying is the Repubs are trying to cheat in the Dem primary. Ok.
