about Joe and Hunter Biden? Seems odd.

Because if you and I ignore it, it never becomes part of our vocabulary and should die off as fast as it started.

(3,678 posts)He's sometimes hard to understand too. And Bill went on a rant about liberals getting over-offended at racism and white liberals being self-loathing.
Actually, the Rushdie interview was fine. :p

Bill is very dicey sometimes to say the least.

Sounds like the Twilight Zone.. what did we do?
It's fucking trump who's committed extortion and an impeachable offense(offenses).

(25,437 posts)Guest Linette Lopez said: "The last time we were hurting Hillary Clinton, who no one liked, and now we're hurting Joe Biden who most Americans like." No one liked Hillary Clinton? Offensive.

obamanut2012
(26,049 posts)He isn't a liberal, nor even a Conservadem. He is really sexist, often racist, has been transphobic, and carries water for the Right. Hell, he is good friends with Ann Coulter. Would you be friends with her?
Dem4Life1102
(3,974 posts)And calling Democratic weak for not impeaching. I thought he would be celebrating but instead he seemed down on it.
Salviati
(6,008 posts)He wants to be the cool guy in the room, the one that is too smart for people to really get. If reality ever starts encroaching on his turf, he's got to move on, to stay edgy...

(3,974 posts)Maybe you should read this: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/07/08/will-hunter-biden-jeopardize-his-fathers-campaign
Hoyt
(54,770 posts)just his name.
In any event, trump is guilty on his own, and his kids have done far worse.
Dem4Life1102
(3,974 posts)Please post a link that proves your accusation.
Hoyt
(54,770 posts)Skip the Fox News and similar articles, but I think the Washington Post, etc., articles are credible and they almost all say his taking the position raised eyebrows. They also said he broke no Ukranian laws. But, it didn't look good and he should have known better.
My post above said H Biden didn't do anything wrong, but it doesn't look good. I'll stick by that and wish that was not an aspect of trump's shakedown in the Ukraine. Again, none of that changes trump's guilt for what he did.

(100,054 posts)Being politically correct and accepting responsibility for your actions and past actions is not the worst thing in the world. It's basically the same thing as not being a dick. It's beating a dead horse at this point.

(2,461 posts)So long as you keep that in mind - take it for what it's worth.
I find him insufferable, but some people are masochists.
And as Rand would conclude: If you like to be shit on, that's your thang.
ps. and not a very far sighted one. Take his endorsement of Sanders (I support Sanders, btw) - all he saw were the social freedoms, and then he realized it would require him to acknowledge that humans are social creatures. And his mind got blown! What? Help that alien other, not a brother? He's a prick. I can totally imagine him and Coulter naked together. And totally get why he's single.
