    Hunter Biden and his uncle literally ran a mutual fund that he sold to investors as giving access to Joe. The FBI shut it down.

    Dems are showing their true colors on this. Ivanka and Jared were rightly called out for years but Hunter does almost the same shit, just worse, and even approaching it with that level of analysis gets shouted down. Could political parties give a fuck about their own team’s corruption, please? Dems are supposed to be different but boy howdy the us vs them mentality is so fucking strong.

      Amazing. Not one word of that was true. Impressive accomplishment.

      No, Hunter wasn’t doing “almost there same shit.” No, it wasn’t “worse.” And the reason it gets “shouted down” is because it’s lying bullshit, and we’ve got no reason to put up with that.

      This “both sides” garbage - as if Hunter name-dropping his dad is identical to Trump’s kids literally selling access to theirs - with his enthusiastic involvement - is reprehensible. It’s disgusting, it’s sick, and it’s disingenuous.

          From that article since we are talking Trumplestiltskin the CheetosRaper endorsing his KorruptoKidz:

          There’s no evidence that Joe Biden used his power inappropriately or took action to benefit his relatives with respect to these ventures. These entanglements could pose problems for Democrats as they seek to draw a contrast with President Donald Trump, who they accuse of corruption for mixing politics with his own family’s business ventures.

          I left the rest in there since this is from 2019 and pre-Traitor Sedition. I do not like the Bidens anymore than the Kennedys or Clinton’s but these do not compare.

              “Hunter Biden and his uncle literally ran a mutual fund that he sold to investors as giving access to Joe. The FBI shut it down.”

              But you were. That was you. You brought up Joe Biden. Which again, where is the evidence for that? Because your article has zero evidence for actual “access” being sold and granted.

              The other person quoted your article saying that there was no evidence Joe Biden used his position to benefit any of his family’s business dealings. Even if Hunter was going around saying “do you know who my dad is”, if Joe Biden didn’t have anything to do with it, it didn’t do anything. We don’t throw people in jail for name dropping.

      Dollar per dollar, what the trumps did is literally worse. They literally made billions off of foreign deals, meanwhile hunter funneled how much? Math is math.
