DNA test shows Hunter Biden is father of Arkansas woman's baby

[brooklynite]

Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

DNA testing has established, “with scientific certainty,” that Hunter Biden is the father of an Arkansas baby, according to a motion filed Wednesday in Independence County on behalf of the child’s mother, Lunden Alexis Roberts.

Biden, son of former vice president Joe Biden, “is not expected to challenge the results of the DNA test or the testing process,” the filing states.

...snip...

Hunter Biden, who initially denied having sexual relations with Roberts, eventually agreed to take a DNA test, according to documents filed by Roberts’ attorney, Clint Lancaster.

What the numbers mean is...
if you bet $100, you would win 100+number shown for each candidate.
For example if you bet $100 on mayor Pete, you would win 100+750=$850

[mucifer]

2. So Hunter Biden is running for President? I remember Billy Carter

[htuttle]

3. And his beer

[mucifer]

4. Poor Jimmy!

[LaurenOlimina]

7. I met him, at his gas station, when I as 8.

It was a hoot.

[a kennedy]

41. and how much do you think one can of billy beer can be for someone who has 5 cans, and needs

my one can to make a six pack. I’m asking for 50.00. He thinks that’s to much. I don’t.



So, how much should I really ask for my one can???

[RestoreAmerica2020]

52. Your kidding me..I held onto ONE can for years! Ha ha you're one can short of a six pack..perdon

.it's 5am..just struck my funny bone.

Honestly, I can't recall what happened to it..recycled can, sold at yard sale? Yet, I'm certain I didn't drink contents..the lonesome can sat in my refrigerator for some 20 yrs.

[a kennedy]

55. That is just sick and wrong......"one can short of a six pack"

[Jarqui]

5. From the motion to seal

"That members of the Biden family either are protected or eligible to be
protected by the United States Secret Service as a direct result of Joe Biden’s political
status. "

The child might get secret service protection ...

[Demsrule86]

35. And so what?

[Jarqui]

39. It's just a simple fact

A baby is born largely anonymously. Suddenly, through a DNA paternity test in court, that baby is entitled to Secret Service protection.

I'm not complaining or making a point one way or the other. From the motion, that baby may well need that protection. I do not know all the facts to give an opinion one way or the other.

It's just an unusual sequence of events you do not see every day.

[SomewhereInTheMiddle]

63. Sounds like the plot from a movie ...

Four your old Buddy is is the only preschooler in Little Rock with a Secret Service bodyguard. That's the way it's been since his grandfather became President. Buddy's single mother, Alexis Richards, was not happy about it but there was nothing she could do about it.

Then Agent Blake Steele was assigned to the detail and the Richards' life would never be the same.

Between secret assassins and hidden desires, it will be a Hot Time in Little Rock

(Rated R - Names have been changed to protect the innocent)

[Jarqui]

64. You forgot ..

Nunes is floating his conspiracy theory that the toddler is a Ukrainian spy who was conceived to make Donald Trump look bad by persuading Zelensky to not to go along with Trump's anti-corruption efforts and he's a trained assassin exploiting the 2nd amendment targeting Alex Jones, Hannity & Giuliani when/if he gets out of prison.

Eat your deceased heart out Tom Clancy!!

Some names have not been changed to give the guilty a taste of justice

[R B Garr]

6. I think one actual candidate never married his son's

mother. Not much is ever said or implied about that.

[Freddie]

8. Grover Cleveland

Ma, Ma, where’s my Pa?
Gone to the White House, ha ha ha!

[R B Garr]

11. lol, this one is from this current primary. Good catch,

though! Quite a scandal for Grover’s time.

[Jewls2]

15. Dead beat dad does influence my perception, though.

[StarfishSaver]

26. Mine, too

And if Hunter Biden ever runs for president, that might make me think twice about voting for him.

But since he's not running for president and I'm not likely to find myself dating him, this is completely irrelevant to me.

[Jewls2]

27. But, I was not talking about Hunter replying to the post I did.

I pretty much said the same as you below, when I was talking about Hunter.

[StarfishSaver]

29. I see. Thanks for correcting me

[Jewls2]

30. Cool.

[tonedevil]

20. It's not the act it's the cover up. /nt

[Jewls2]

21. I think it is not supporting your child which bothers me. That would be the act.

[MustLoveBeagles]

31. As long as he's providing love and financial support for the child I don't care

But since I'm nosey, who is it?

[Blue_true]

43. By challenging the DNA test results, look like he is trying to get out of child support.

But he is not his father, unfortunately rightwing Christians will twist that difference to hurt his dad politically.

Honestly, the more I read about him, the more I don't like Hunter, he doesn't seem to be remotely equal to his late brother.

[emmaverybo]

81. Challenge is over I think. Meanwhile he married a woman he met a month ago. They have matching

tattoos. He will have to support his baby.

[Blue_true]

83. His dad likely kicked him in the ass about the challenge.

Hospitals and Doctors that do DNA tests put their reputations on the line with each test. What is the incentive for them to falsify a test.

[emmaverybo]

84. I just hope they can all rally now and be family for this baby. And I would think Joe and Dr. Jill

will.

[Blue_true]

85. Joe seems to be a good man. He will likely be every bit the grandfather for the new

family member that he is for all his other grandkids.

[lunasun]

95. He tried to blame the corona virus for the last delay first he asked for delay until primaries over

Hunter Biden and the former stripper suing him for child support reached a settlement Wednesday — shortly after an Arkansas judge scrapped his request to delay a court appearance over the coronavirus outbreak.

Independence County Circuit Court Judge Holly Meyer dismissed Biden’s claims that it was “unsafe” for him to travel and that appearing for a scheduled deposition this week could put his pregnant wife at risk for the illness.

“[Biden] can come by plane, train, or automobile but life and work will and should continue in our communities and courts,” Meyer wrote in a ruling late Tuesday.

Biden had previously asked Meyer, to postpone his deposition until April, after most of the key Democratic primaries are over, but she denied that request, too.

97. Love and support ? She had the kid in 2018. She had to sue him for DNAtest He finally was stopped

from delaying the paternity case anymore the last excuse that there was danger for his now pregnant wife to travel because of the corona virus
The woman suing Hunter Biden for paternity was a stripper at a Washington, DC, club he frequented around the time he was dating his brother’s widow, sources told The Post.

Biden was repeatedly seen at the Mpire Club in the capital’s historic Dupont Circle neighborhood — where Lunden Alexis Roberts, the mother of his alleged love child, worked under the stage name “Dallas,” the sources said.

“He was well-known,” a source said of Biden, the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic front-runner to challenge President Trump next year.

Several Mpire workers said they recognized Roberts, 28, who last week filed court papers that say DNA testing proved Hunter, 49, fathered the child she gave birth to in August 2018.

9. Ok

[pfeiffer]

10. And...

now I feel I'm reading opposition research from the Trump campaign.

[Mike Nelson]

12. I trust...

... Mr. Biden will do the correct thing... welcome to the world, little baby!

[mcar]

13. So?

[Jewls2]

14. With this, I did research on Hunter. Has a mess of a life, and I am not seeing a lot to respect.

What he has done with his life leads me to question the validity of 50K a month but rich and influential help the "kids", so it is what it is.

That being said.

He is not running for President nor asking for my vote or asking anything else from me.

[Jim__]

17. So, Trump is innocent! - n/t

[crazytown]

18. 'Hunter Biden initially denied having sexual relations with Roberts'

Dead beat dad, but naught to do with Joe.

[Hekate]

19. And so?

[WePurrsevere]

22. He's not running for president. Parents of legal adults...

aren't responsible for their kids business or personal choices and/or screw ups.

[Joinfortmill]

23. He's not much help to Joe, that's for sure.

[The Mouth]

24. Better a son who has a child

than one that kills elephants for sheer bloodlust.

[emmaverybo]

82. So true.

[aikoaiko]

25. Congratulations, Grandpa Joe!

Where should I send your present?

[Aaron Pereira]

28. Yeah, yeah who isn't.

No story.

[MustLoveBeagles]

32. Thanks for letting us know

[Demsrule86]

34. Honestly, what has got into you to post this...Hunter is not running for president...surprised it is

in this forum as it has nothing to do with a primary...a big who cares.

[MustLoveBeagles]

37. Good point

Last I checked it was Joe running for president, not his son.

[brooklynite]

44. The article tags Joe Biden, and my understanding is that any reference to a candidate has to be here

Add to which, for the same reason Trump is going after Biden because of Hunter's role in Ukraine, he could prospectively go after Biden for this.

[atreides1]

54. Really?

The man who paid a $130,000 to keep a porn star, he slept with, from telling on him...is going to play the morality and decency card?

The man who has been accused of sexually assaulting so many women, the man who made the statement that his daughter was hot and he would date her himself...that man?

Even the RNC can't be that stupid...because if they go there...the Democrats will lay out every detail...and put it in the faces of every voter...I can see it now...ads showing Trump saying how hot his daughter is...or him talking about walking into the dressing room of teenage girls...or even a spot from Stormy Daniels, telling of his sexual prowess...

[Demsrule86]

36. And this is the only paper carrying the story...I would have to see it somewhere else.

And if it is true ...Hunter is an adult.

[brooklynite]

45. Does CNN work for you?

https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/20/politics/hunter-biden-dna-test/index.html

[USALiberal]

47. Lol, did you even look?

[sandensea]

38. That guy.

I mean, in an ideal world this should mean nothing - all the more so with Cheeto's Roman Empire-level history of rape and orgies.

But Rethugs are very good at finding dirt against their opponents - and between Bursima, BHR (China), and now this, Hunter Biden's become a real problem for the old man.

I doubt it'll hurt his nomination chances - but you know the Repigs will make a major circus out of this once he becomes the nominee (which I still believe he will be).

We'll see.

[Demsrule86]

40. I doubt it very much ...not with Trump's history...and one has no control over adult kids. My oldest

get pregnant at 18...so sorry guys this won't get Biden out...this is not an unusual situation.

[sandensea]

42. I hope you're right.

But as you know, there's a yooge double standard out there as to what becomes a scandal for a Rapepublican - and what becomes one for a Democrat.

Big Media is mostly to blame for that (courtesy of their corporate ownership).

[SMC22307]

46. Hunter's drugs, Hunter's military service, Hunter's baby, Hunter's Ukraine dealings...

Corporate Media will be beating this to death should Biden win the nomination.

[R B Garr]

48. They will do that to anyone. FBI investigation into

a college refinancing, a son out of wedlock, a media consultant/campaign staffer who worked in Ukraine with Paul Manafort. Paul Manafort is an actual convicted felon. And that’s just one candidate. They will spin anything, so we shouldn’t be helping them.

[SMC22307]

70. Hunter's a liability.

I'd rather we go with as clean a slate as possible.

[R B Garr]

72. Bush Jr was a liability.

[SMC22307]

75. To Poppy Bush in 1988 and 1992?

You sure about that?

[R B Garr]

86. Yes, by your standards for Hunter in post 46, but Bush's Daddy

was in the CIA and helped him out. Sanders also has family baggage, but we don’t see the morality police and naysayers about those issues.

[SMC22307]

87. Bush and Sanders' issues and family baggage have not led to impeachment hearings.

(We could get into Dubya and "impeachment is off the table," but let's not.)

The current Prez, Republican-controlled Senate, influential wacko evangelicals, and right-wing media have seized on Joe and Hunter. Are you not quite grasping the magnitude of that?

We need to get back to the days of no-drama Obama. Americans will tire of scandal.

[R B Garr]

88. By your standards, every Democrat should just get out of the way so that the

Republican's can have their way. Americans are tired of that. There is plenty of "scandal" to be drummed up about the other candidates, the most recently with Warren who was ridiculed by Trump. BTW, ignoring Sanders' family troubles and history are more hands off because of the well-documented Russia help in the last election. That's been well-documented at this point.

edit: But the no drama Obama is a definite thumbs up. Love him and miss him.

[SMC22307]

90. Nope. Right-wing media will attempt to destroy any Democrat who runs in 2020.

Why give them ammo? There will be issues surrounding any Dem candidate and we need to fight back HARD, but Hunter brings so, so many to the Biden campaign. Too much energy will be spent defending the drug use, the military service, Beau's wife, Ukraine, the out-of-wedlock baby, etc. Warren being ridiculed by Fat Nixon is child's play compared to what they're lobbing against the Bidens. Wingers will use Kamala's relationship with Willie Brown to try and bring her down. They'll go after Pete on age, orientation, and race relations. Etc. Meh, it may be a moot point, since Biden doesn't look all that well and I'm not sure he'll remain in the race.

I believe Americans are tired of the tweets and the drama and the scandal and we want to get back to serious government.

[R B Garr]

92. Sanders has a son out of wedlock. Fodder for the RW media

by your strict standards for Biden since that is the concern. These are people who used Kerry’s Purple Heart against him so of course any opening by the candidates will be used. Certainly not just Biden.

[SMC22307]

93. You're not telling me anything I don't already know.

There's laser-focus on the Bidens because of the impeachment hearings and some of what's being revealed may not be sitting well. Joe looks frail and I'd rather he just retire to Rehoboth and enjoy the grandkids, but I guess he figures third time's the charm. (Or is it second? I forget.) Right-wing media won't care about Sanders' out-of-wedlock son when they've got the big soshuLIst! label to hang around his neck.

[R B Garr]

94. Right, we all know what they are going to do, and they will do it with any

candidate. They would start investigations into all manner of things with any candidate, but Bernie's son would certainly matter just as much as smearing a Purple Heart mattered to their strategy. Sanders also had a campaign manager, Tad Devine, who worked directly with Paul Manafort in Ukraine, so you can bet that would be as huge a deal as Biden. You already see them getting to throw their own folks under the bus, they have smeared the FBI, the CIA, now career diplomats, uniformed military. They will smear anyone and they will manufacture anything, which is what they are doing with the Bidens'.

Of course the "socialists" are being given a reprieve now because that would be so easy to smear.

[Tipperary]

49. And his relationship with Beau's wife.

The fact that his own wife went after him with all kinds of horrific allegations, well, not a good look.

[SMC22307]

69. Yeah I was going to edit my post to add that...

definitely not a good look!

[IronLionZion]

57. Joe raised him

Isn't everyone at some level a product of how their parents raised them? Trump's kids are absolutely terrible.

[BannonsLiver]

59. Go on...

[nini]

62. Fuck this shit

Most parent's do the best they can and the kid is just an idiot. Comparing this situation to Trump's spawn is beyond disgusting.

[Blue_true]

65. Not always.

I know several pairs of siblings where one's ethics are much different from the other and the parents.

For some reason, some kids go bad, even with excellent parenting in their past.

[jberryhill]

78. And some people suffering from childhood trauma make poor life choices

What possible event in Hunter's life might have deeply affected him for life?

Gosh, I can't imagine.

[IronLionZion]

79. Same thing happened to me around that age so I do have empathy for the Bidens

When I was very young, I saw my mother and grandmother die in a car crash where they were hit by a drunk driver. I was struck from jury duty in a drug/DUI case because of my trauma experience early in my childhood might bias me. I've made plenty of poor life choices but slowly learned from my mistakes over the years and don't repeat them.

If Joe saw his son suffering, shouldn't he have gotten him help?

[jberryhill]

80. People differ

[obamanut2012]

50. Why is this in this forum? Hunter Biden is not a candidate

And, I don't give a damn about this tabloid headline.

[Blue_true]

66. It seems like a tweener post.

Unfortunately republicans are going to try to pin Hunter's life choices on his father. Also, as a democrat, I am not thrilled with what I have read about Hunter (not the Ukraine stuff, repughs made that up), but the seemingly bad life choices. The son could impact his dad's chances in the primary. Who can say that Joe's Slightly off night last night was not due to the latest revelation about Hunter, coming on top of Hunter's snap marriage to a woman from like New Zealand or Australia?

[liberal N proud]

51. And

This is important why?

[cwydro]

73. Well, it adds to the curious situation where a guy kicked out of the military for drug use -

Was able to land such a cushy job. I’m sure the repubs are all over this.

[tirebiter]

53. Sounds like Arkansas Project is alive and well

[Skidmore]

56. My first thought.

I refuse to participate in feeding our leaders' families into the maw of the Republican, and now Russian, smear machine.

[Blue_true]

67. The woman was born and raised in Arkansas.

She attended Georgetown where previous news articles say she met Hunter and they had a short fling while he was still dating Beau's widow. The woman went back to Arkansas to live with her sister once she found that she was pregnant.

[cwydro]

58. Oh boy.

This guy is a real piece of work.

[redqueen]

60. I don't see what this has to do with the primaries

Hunter isn't running.

[Blue_true]

68. It could affect how people view his father.

And that could affect his chances in the primary. Joe is a good decent and moral man, Hunter's recent issues with women have to be deeply bothersome to him, IMO.

[redqueen]

71. Yes, I suppose it could,

it seems like a stretch, though.

And it also seems like an invitation to go digging up dirt on all the family members of every candidate.

[Blue_true]

74. Your last post described what Republicans do. They are notorious for such stuff. nt

[nini]

61. LOL

Oh how far we have fallen to worry about this.


Not to mention he is not running for president.

[jberryhill]

77. Well then... L'Chaim

Anyone else I need to add to my holiday card list?

[flamingdem]

89. This is probably bullshit

In fact I'm SURE it's just another attempt to smear Joe Biden via his son.

[hlthe2b]

91. Honestly. I really don't understand how this is relevent to ANYTHING.

Hunter Biden isn't running for anything. While he's the victim of an ongoing smear campaign, how this relates to anything, escapes me. Is it meant to somehow suggest he's a "bad" guy in his personal life (which I'd argue it does not) and thus give some strength to RW conspiracy smears?

Seriously. I just don't get how it is relevant to anything.

[lunasun]

96. Well it gets Joes brother James Biden out of the headlines for the FBI raid at a health care venture

that last week took a bad turn and resulted in being in the news again

In the weeks since the raid, two small medical firms that did business with James Biden have claimed in civil court proceedings to have obtained evidence that he may have fraudulently transferred funds from Americore “outside of the ordinary course of business,” and a former Americore executive has told POLITICO that James Biden had more than half a million dollars transferred to him from the firm as a personal loan that has not yet been repaid.

But recent filings in ongoing legal proceedings, along with new accounts provided to POLITICO by former executives of Americore and others, point to potential pitfalls for the former vice president, painting the fullest picture to date of James Biden’s health care dealings and the ways in which they allegedly related to his older brother. In 2017 and 2018, James Biden was embarking on a foray into health care investing, telling potential partners, including at Americore, that his last name could open doors and that Joe Biden was excited about the public policy implications of their business models, according to court filings and interviews with James' former business contacts.

Tom Pritchard, a former Americore executive familiar with the business' finances, told POLITICO that James Biden’s arrival exacerbated Americore’s financial problems. Holding out the promise of a large investment from the Middle East based on his political connections, James Biden introduced Americore’s founder to his older brother and helped land a bridge loan to Americore from a hedge fund, Pritchard said. But then, Pritchard said, James Biden received a six-figure personal loan out of Americore’s coffers while encouraging the firm to take on greater financial liabilities. The cash infusion from the Middle East never arrived, and, Pritchard says, James Biden has not paid back the loan, the terms of which are unknown.
