Wait, what? This isn’t a conspiracy and it’s hilarious you would characterize it as one. Hunter Biden rode on Air Force 2 to China with his dad and his firm comes away with a $1.5 billion deal over established brands like Morgan Stanley and Golden Sachs. Are you saying this didn’t happen?
No, not happy. As was expected due to the senate cover up.
I am unfamiliar with them but it sounds sexy, like Elle McPherson as a young woman, sunning herself in the nude.
Let’s stipulate it did and all of it is as bad as you think. Where then have you been with Trump, Don Jr., Ivanka, et al.? This isn’t to be argumentative. I’m genuinely curious.

Your method of jumping to conclusions here is similar to the methods used with Seth Rich, Hillary Clinton ("Emails!", "Goldman Sachs!"), James Comey, and dozens of other conspiracies which have failed to materialize into tangible results.
I’ve been opposed to the impeachment all along. Preferred that the Dems just vote the corrupt, ignorant, racist, petty, entitled, criminal buffoon out of office.
Good question, and thanks for asking. First off you have to look at each individual here. Don JR and Ivanka have never been to rehab as far as I know, Hunter has been a dozen times. Don JR and Ivanka have never been arrested for cocaine and crack, Hunter Biden has at least 3 times that I know of. He has also had several other arrests in his like that were expunged. I can’t find a single arrest of Don JR or Ivanka.
You didn't answer his question.
I consider it, and I am a fine shot. Alternatively and most immediately I take cover and then assess my tactical options. Two things. First, you did not ask me. Second, maybe shooting at is a bad analogy. Maybe the question is, if a vile person is preparing to hang themselves do you demonstrate to them the folly of doing so by hanging yourself, or do you give them a nice, stout, rope, pretied into a proper noose? Or maybe there are other analogies and other options.
When was the last time you rewarded with your vote the side that plays by the rules? When was the last time you wrote eloquently about how no matter how flawed one side is that you must vote for them when they are night and day better than the other side? When was the last time you didn't find an excuse to cast your vote to those that have the luxury of setting no example at all?
The unfortunate reality of modern day American politics is that Democrats are expected to live up to a higher standard, and are therefore punished by the electorate when they fail to do so.
Probably already answered, but they didn't spend months and months in frivolous court hearings to prove the Constitution says what it says.joffer said:
I am. The House did their job. Is it "well invested"? You'd have to define what you mean when you say those words. I can't say they have moved us forward, but they did stop the free fall if even for a split second. The first thing you do when you are trying to get out of a hole is to stop digging.
What do you call setting a precedent where the President can use his office/power for his personal advances?
That wouldn't be all that smart given the VP doesn't have that power. It would have to be something different.
No. Donald Trump should have been removed.
Corruption. Looking the other way while someone commits an impeachable offense.
Yep I just agree with @cobalt_27 and it’s good to see that the whistleblower statute worked as intended and even better than. Worth noting that Sen. Rand Paul himself was one of the original champions of that law.
Man, Rand may be the biggest loser in this entire thing.
So he was impeached in the House and we now see Republicans Senators (Sasse, Rubio, Murkowski and other will follow) agreeing with Sen Alexander that what Trump did was wrong but that misconduct doesn’t rise to the level of removal. The President will spin it as a victory but historians and his legacy will be forever stained. That’s not to say he won’t be re-elected in 2020 as there will be many like you who will also spin it differently.
Plus Trump got caught. Like saying the bank suffered no damage because the bank robbers got caught in the parking lot.
Separation of Powers. Likelihood of less corruption. Legitimacy of Congress.
I did, but you Bidenguys don’t want to hear it. And it’s not my fault that Hunter is a drug addict with a long criminal history and Don JR and Ivanka aren’t. If he used Chelsea Clinton as an example instead I would have said the same thing since she’s an upstanding citizen. Hunter Biden couldn’t even get a security clearance to work in the Capital snack bar, yet he’s running around the world with his dad on Air Force 2 doing billion dollar deals in China. See the problem here?
You’re forgetting the Trump U, Trump Foundation, and Condo lawsuits here, aren’t you?
Hmmm, pretty sure there were some other "kids" that were initially denied security clearance for things much more important than the snack bar, but then rules were bent to give them it...
How are you saying things like this and ignoring Trump personally overriding denials of security clearances for Kushner? Hunter Biden will be nowhere near the WH unless it's social. Kushner is a white house executive senior counsel.
Yes, and technically sort of a democratic republic. Those are not mutually exclusive (France, and others, says hi)
But Kushner comes from a good, law-abiding family with absolutely no history of political/criminal shenanigans.
