President Biden thread

Published

Wow.  No one has started such a thread yet?

After promising that most K-8 students would be in schools in the first 100 days,  apparently Joe is afraid to lead on this and has drastically scaled back that goal.

Instead, we're shooting for about half to go to school at least one day a week,  by the end of April.

I don't care if he discussed his son's business affairs or not. Did he take bribes or engage in illegal or unethical activity?  If so, present your evidence, indict and impeach...or whatever.  

I agree.  However, he continues to say this, and you did say you believe him.  

Which,  I do appreciate you saying what you believe.  Others only deflected from the question.

At this point I have no reason to disbelieve the president.  There has been no evidence presented which contradicts his words on this matter.

I guess it comes down to who you believe.  A crackhead or a politician.  It's a toss up as both types aren't necessarily known for their honesty.  LOL

I can't help that you're choosing to ignore the evidence.  But, let's pretend that evidence doesn't exist...

As Tweety said, we don't really care if he discussed with Hunter his son's business dealings.  I'm sure most of us would expect that he would have.  So, I wonder why he wants us to believe he hasn't.

What evidence of Joe Biden's guilt? So far no evidence has been presented.  Maybe you could link to some description of the evidence that you want to pretend about.

"IRS whistleblower in Hunter Biden probe says he was stopped from pursuing investigative leads into "dad" or the "big guy""

.....

"Based on my experience, if this was a small business owner or any other non-connected individual, they would have been charged with felony counts," Shapley said."

That's what he says.  The US attorney in charge of the case (appointed by Trump) disagrees.  Why would Barr or Trump's FBI appointee step on investigation into Biden?

Quote

But three weeks ago in a letter to the House Judiciary Committee, Weiss asserted that he was granted "ultimate authority over this matter, including responsibility for deciding where, when, and whether to file charges."

Quote

When the email became public in 2020, Gilliar told the Wall Street Journal that Joe Biden was not involved. And in one of the interviews FBI agents conducted during the investigation, another partner of Hunter Biden's said the same. "I certainly never was thinking at any time that [then-Vice President Biden was] a part of anything we were doing," businessman Rob Walker told agents, according to a transcript released by Congress.   

Maybe this particular whistleblower will prove to be more credible than the other whistleblowers the republican House has built hearings around. So far it appears unlikely.

Actually, I did already did provide a link to a article that recapped a lot of the evidence we already know about.

You mean an article that recapped the speculation and claims, right? There is no publicly available evidence that Joe Biden engaged in criminal behavior with Hunter.

There's an old expression that if it looks like shite, smells like shite, it's probably shite.  That's how I read the article provided.  But no, actual evidence that has lead to an indictment hasn't happened....yet.  I don't think at this point we can make a leap either direction, or shall I say I can't.   On the one hand circumstantial clues are there, on the other hand, show me the evidence please, but I understand it's ongoing and will wait.

I agree.  

If there was actual evidence we could discuss that, like we discussed Hunter's location.  Suspicion is not the same as evidence.

If there was any actual evidence, it would be shouted from the rooftops. Instead, we have invisible audiotapes recorded by a dead guy and a tip that not even Bill Barr was able to take seriously.  Not to mention a couple of whistleblowers who haven't actually testified to anything yet. (Maybe they're afraid of being shot by Jewish space lasers.)

Yup, definitely smells like shite.
