My take on the Hunter Biden matter...

[Raven]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the General Discussion forum).

If, in the process of deciding whether or not to run for President, Hunter Biden's dealings with Ukraine were not fully vetted by Joe Biden and his campaign advisors; and if there was something irregular about those dealings known to Biden and his campaign, then Joe Biden and his campaign have let us all down. They knew who they were running against and they knew how critical this election is.

1. A DU thread about this cites an Intercept article that suggests the corruption was on the Ukranian

side, not the Bidens. But Trump probably knows this. He was hoping to get powers-that-be to
lie, plant, fudge documentation, round up a tortured witness, whatever.

2. Shame on you for buying into the same sort of conservative conspiracy theories that took down...

...our last Democratic nominee.

3. This was investigated intensely by multiple news organizations, as it was by the Ukrainians.

Why, because Trump has decided to commit extortion in the hopes of smearing and ultimately weakening his potential 2020 rival, have we decided there must be some "there there?" Seems to me that in doing so, we are doing Trump's work for him...

That is all...

5. This

I am done with any MSM that runs with Republicans trying to raise this issue.

11. +1000

Serious opposition to Biden exists not only on the right.

4. This is just another version of the Hillary email story...

...take a molehill and make a mountain out of it. Convince people it is the worst crime that has ever been committed. It doesn't matter if it is true or not. Just keep repeating it.

6. Trump will stoop to anything beyond the lowest of lows because he is a vindictive

Prick.

And besides...he has no other defense.

7. They are highly unlikely to have let us down here. Therefore, ...

...the story is almost certainly a nothingburger. That's the way the syllogism plays out when the premises and conclusion candidates are given their proper likelihood.

8. trump must be held accountable. But, Biden is going to be hurt if there is any truth

that he pressured Ukrainians to fire prosecutor allegedly investigating his son.

As much as I despise trump, we better concentrate on kicking his ass in election. There is too much crap going on, otherwise.

14. And Tangerine Idi Amin would do the same thing

and make excuses for it. We should mention that the Rs cannot talk, they are so corrupt, they can STFU.

[ecstatic]

9. My take? We're taking trump's bait. Don't mention Hunter's name.

If the media starts doing it, they're doing trump's work for him for free.

This is "but her emails" 2.0! SMH

10. Simple remedy...

Vote Elizabeth

12. Hate to break it to you, Republicans will lie about Senator Warren too

It is up to Democrats (including us) to push back on Republican lies told about whoever our eventual nominee is.

13. The problem I have with all this and that Dotard CAN'T TALK

about any such thing. He has done all that and worse. Who is her, and who are his supporters, to claim anyone else did anything shady? If they did it, they would say it was just fine. IOKIYAR. The media sucks for allowing that. I am sure Dotard has threatened people who opposed his evil spawn. I doubt Joe did such a thing. But if he did, who cares, is what we should say. Dotard would do that in a heartbeat.
