But that's kind of the point. It isn't "first", it isn't "ground-breaking", it's just comprehensive, fair, factual, and, well...actual news. And very different than what we see out of either CNN or Fox.
It's actually kind of boring. But that's kind of the point too. The actual unvarnished truth often isn't sexy or "the biggest story of all time", as both sides like to breathlessly pant.
It's just...the actual story.

Re: A centrist news agency on the Hunter Biden case
Apr 5, 2022, 5:57 PM

It's rather remarkable that this investigation began in 2018 and is "picking up steam."
Question 1: Do you believe Joe Biden when he said he never discussed his son's business dealings with Hunter? Come on man!
If true, Biden is the least curious father on the planet and the flight Joe and Hunter took to China must have been filled with talk about ancient China and the popularity of the NBA among the Chinese?
Question 2: Why do you think business people from multiple countries gave Hunter Biden millions of dollars despite his lack of knowledge in the businesses they ran? Is it a stretch to think that Hunter promised insider access to Joe or other government officials and either scammed them or indeed delivered?
Nothing will come from this. We haven't been given any facts to implicate Joe or brother Jim, but this whole deal smells. At this pace, Hunter may have to pay back some taxes, but fortunately his artistic skills will provide him the means to do so.
Question 3: Had the same issues been going on in 2020, but substitute a Trump kid, would the MSM not even bothered to investigate the story? The answer is no.

One of the networks said Hunter Biden is living in a 20 or $30,000 per month Malibu home. Who the ufck is paying for that?

Hunter's already (supposedly) paid his taxes back...but from what I'm hearing, that itself has raised some interesting questions about where that money may have come from.
I've heard the words "money laundering" thrown around. Given that he was seemingly taking payoffs from many of the same Russian-aligned oligarchs that Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort was, it wouldn't be terribly shocking.
As for what Poppa Joe did or didn't know, what I go back to is: Poppa Joe had plenty of access to easy legal money and unlike Trump - or even Nancy Pelosi, who's built a $114 million nest egg herself - he was never an empire builder, just a careerist politician. "Comfie" seems to have been good enough for Joe himself; he's 79 years old and never showed any particular inclination towards stuffing his own pockets before. I mean, the man released his financials. Unless somebody can show where those might have been falsified, there's absolutely nothing to see there. Why won't anyone accusing Joe of "shadiness" address that point?
As for Hunter, the guy is obviously shady as all. The guy was also a drug addict, and those guys will do and say anything to feed their habits. I have plenty of firsthand experience watching exactly how drug addicts operate, and there's really no telling what's going on with their lives at any particular moment. All you know about them for sure is they lie about literally everything, money evaporates around them, they oscillate between moments of seeming clarity and moments of rock-bottom despair when they can't hide how bad things are going, and they're so random and destructive everyone backs away from them out of self-preservation.
Conservative media sees political machination there. I see a really awful addiction, and I see a guy who was basically a crack ho who traded on daddy's name to keep the money and drugs coming. Do I think Hunter, in that state, could remotely deliver the access he was promising? I'd say close to zero chance. Poppa Biden doesn't seem under any illusions whatsoever about what his son is, which is why the Secret Service has him stashed under a rock exactly the way all powerful people do with embarrassing relatives.
Hunter may go to jail, or get in some hot water over where he got his money and how. I also seriously doubt it in any way ever links back to Joe though the political fallout won't be good for him.

Do you believe that the American POTUS that released his tax returns to the American people is "corrupt", while the one who had hidden his tax returns from the American people is "honest"?

As predicted, defend the one who hides his returns, yet call the transparent one " corrupt". So broken.

Dude, the guy has less than $8 million dollars. We know where he got most of that, and it was the usual book deal/overpriced-speaking-appearance-tour all career politicos do on the way out of Washington after a big gig.
He's given millions away to charities, too.
I've seen some older Home Depot employees with good stock options who had more than that. If Joe himself was doing crime, he wasn't doing it really well.
But of course, you'll sit there and pore intently over that pile of nothing while ignoring the fact that Trump owes $1.3 billion to Russian oligarchs who fronted it through a bank that was pegged repeatedly for money laundering...for Russian oligarchs.
Rock on.

Getting paid way more than you should because of who your dad is
Apr 6, 2022, 9:01 AM
[ in reply to Re: A centrist news agency on the Hunter Biden case ] |

is not a crime. Being the son/daughter of someone influential opens doors that otherwise wouldn’t be open, and brings a ton of financial benefit. That’s just the way the world works. Same thing happened with Trump’s kids. People made business deals with them because that gave investors access to the president of the US. Even the membership fee at Mar a Lago doubled as soon as Trump was elected, because they knew that people would want to join to gain access to the president. Whole kind of sleazy, none of that is illegal. The real question is was Joe compromised due to the business deals his son made.
I haven’t been following this super close so I admit I don’t know the details, but being overpaid or getting deals done because of your connections is commonplace and not illegal, unfortunately.

more to this than there actually is because of butthurt over Trump. Or they went after us and nothing came of it, and what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
There are plenty of red flags here and there is an ongoing investigation.
There were plenty of red flags concerning Trump and Russian collusion and there was an investigation.

Exactly. I think Hunter could be in the soup. Dude has showed just about zero judgment in any area of his life, and like I said, I've had plenty of experience watching exactly how drug addicts feed their monkeys. It's short-sighted, screw tomorrow or the thought of consequences, just lay hands on money, take care of the next fix, and the next, and the next...if they're calm and seemingly together, it's probably because they just scored big (almost always at someone else's expense), and have an ample stash. Gets so the times you know they probably just did something awful is when they're seemingly doing the best.
Did he do some enough dumb stuff even daddy's Justice Department can't look the other way? Sure looks like it.
And that isn't going to reflect well on Joe...and of course, conservative media and their legion of partisan viewers - see the above - are going to seize on it. And if the GOP takes the House the Idiot Show Pony of Crazy brigade - MJT, Boebert, Cawthorn, etc - are of course going to have a field day running Keystone Cops hearings and screaming about The Big Guy. I'm steeling myself for it already. But if they really get close to Joe I'll be surprised, and he did some low-rent crime really badly for not a whole lot of loot.
Personally, for me, it's just one more proof the Dems settling on a "safe compromise candidate" like Joe who had 40+ years in Washington and obvious sketchy relatives used to the Washington gravy train was a bad idea. "Safe" choices rarely are. The obvious real quality in the gaggle was Klobuchar or Mayor Pete.

The guy who has peddled just about every trump conspiracy theory is now here to tell us hunter Biden's sketchy business deals are not a big deal, and actually quite boring.....
Did that article mention who the "big guy" was? Did they reference the fact that one of hunter's business partners confirmed that the big guy was joe Biden?
Are you really dumb enough to believe that sleepy didn't know about any of this? He flew on Air Force 2 with sleepy to secure a billion dollar deal with China.

Big guy wrote a letter of reference for HB's Chinese business partner's son.
As an aside - The fact that Chinese graduate students are all over every university in this country is one of the more stupid situations the USA has ever allowed to exist. They should all be exported - let them attend universities virtually from their homeland.
