Um, you do realize he was pleading out? Than means they have enough to convict.
Hunter Biden heading for a trial
- Thread starter Butler1000
- Start date
Within the parameters of political ramifications and considering the players the practical effects will be more similar than you think.Funny, where righties think that a president's son going to trial is the same as their actual presidential rapist candidate being indicted on god knows how many counts of fraud and other criminal activity. Grasping at straws has a new meaning with righties.
First of all, who is even saying this as a broad and general statement?
Which legislative initiative are you referring to? And does most of America even follow what actually takes place in DC during the term, except in a vague, half-informed sense?
Biden got legislation through the House and passed. Given the GOP majority in the House after 2022 and the equilibrium in the Senate, that's a commendable achievement.
To the GOP base, politics is a blood sport similar to WWE wrestling. There are "bad guys" and "good guys", a lot of showmanship and crude, clownish conflict and eventually the "bad guys" lose.
It's the trailer trash / National Enquirer / cartoon version of politics and it has to be crude, showy and verbally violent all the time. That's why they love Trump. It's the perception of struggle and of conspiracy theories and of villains that must defeated that drives the MAGA carnival.
That's why MAGA always has to portray the Bidens as a villainous "crime family" and Trump as "saving America". It's dumb, but Republicans are dummies and they love it.
Go for it.
None of those charges and nothing from the 5 year investigation implicate any politicians, including his father.
I actually was thinking hunter linked to Joe -but didnt articulate so apologies you're right on hunter per se.
Apparently, your counter on partisan media is an obsession with Fox News. There are many partisan media outlets that are right and right of center.
Wall Street Journal, NY Post, legacy business-oriented magazines in print and on-line. There are other conservative TV and radio outlets that compete with Fox. For the most part, print is dominated by city papers with liberal editorial orientation. So much so it's hard for them to even criticize Democrats who run their cities. In the past, big cities had a Republican-leaning paper and a Democratic-leaning paper that helped to keep things balanced and honest if not entirely impartial. Some of the right-leaning media I mentioned even have liberal commentary on their pages.
I think we're getting off track from the basic idea that CNN is generally a Democratic friendly outlet. The CNN video stands on its own.

Are you saying Joe Biden is allowing this Special Counsel?
Do you really feel that Hunter was investigated with rigor? Do you think the two career IRS agents who became whistleblowers are lying?
The problem is what happens if Biden wins the nomination, but doesn't face Trump.Funny, where righties think that a president's son going to trial is the same as their actual presidential rapist candidate being indicted on god knows how many counts of fraud and other criminal activity. Grasping at straws has a new meaning with righties.
Contrary to this strange idea presented here by several members, my poor candidate is better than your poor candidate is not a great place to be before the primary season. That would go for any party.
These members are also continually saying Biden's doing a good job. Somebody needs to tell the Americans that pollsters are talking with.

Why is that so commendable? The U.S. system is designed for course corrections and contradictions.
We don't have a system where having a 51% margin one election cycle leads to shifting government policy for more than a few years. Most Western Parliamentary systems give the party in power more time and authority to make policy. That doesn't make a parliamentary party commendable either.
History, distant history I might add, has a way of looking at what was commendable and a long-lasting achievement.
I didn't say that, wyatt, nice try.
I said Biden is letting the judiciary act independently and make their own decisions.
