Ha! The Dems love to parse their words. Not many of the countries that bought a piece of Joe have pennies. Should ask him about rubles, won or hryvnia.

Meanwhile, Trump's lawyer has committed the crime of tucking in his shirt on camera.

You guys lay down in bed to tuck your shirt in? Most people do it standing up.

You left the part out of drinking alcohol, going to the bedroom, asking for her phone and address, grabbing her ass, then laying down with his hands down his pants. I'm pretty sure we all know what that's about. Did you even watch that part of the movie? You can't spin that.

And it's more about how easy it is to get Rudy into compromising positions. If he can get fooled by some poorly costumed comedian, then I think the Russians would have no problem with him.

c'mon man Bidens are your typical democrat political family
If the funds originated from China or the Ukraine, and they passed through a straw entity or a relative in the U.S., the money is from a foreign source. Biden's crap would never, ever fly in court.
Wish all democrats that enriched themselves way beyond their public office salaries would get audited. But, they should definitely start with Joe.

Would probably land 90% of the pols on both sides in jail. I was told the other day that judges in Vietnam earn about $300 a month. I thought, "no wonder there is so much corruption." But look at the US, politicians are paid reasonably well. Not a lot, but with expenses and all, they shouldn't complain. Yet, the corruption runs deep. Human nature maybe. That's why term limits are a good idea. Politicians shouldn't be lifers - they should actually do something productive with their time.

When I dealing with supermarkets in Asia, the buyers were constantly changing, often young, and often didn't know what they were doing. They rotated them out frequently to avoid corruption. The one buyer in Hong Kong who stuck around a long time turned out to be buying from his own farms and export houses in Australia. He made out like a bandit.

There is just no way anyone should be living in the DC swamp more than 10 or 20 years, max.

All still looking good. With 11 days out, Trump should have made some movement by now. He hasn't. And with that disastrous debate, he might sink just a little more.

Don't think there will be much movement with only 11 days to go, we already have more than 51 million people that voted already.

"More than 51 million people have already voted early in 2020, surpassing 2016’s overall early vote total."

Drinking is not against the law, nor is going to the adjacent bedroom in a suite, and asking for contact info from an interviewer is standard. With heavy editing, as in this video, it can all be made to look sinister. He patted her lower back (didn't grab her ass, as you said). And considering how strong she was coming on, good for him.

I am with you here. Forget all that other stuff you went on about. Good thing he's not running for president.

Just as a reminder....

Trump Steak
Trump Water
Trump Vodka
Trump Travel

Trump Mortgage
Trump Magazine
Trump: The Game
Trump University - fraud, shut down
Trump Foundation - fraud, shut down

Maybe there is something to political class that encourages corruption, the system is heading in a particular direction and doesn't need people with morals that might be hard to control and influence. Time limits would be a no brainer, and wish more honest people would self sacrifice and enter the nasty theater of politics.

I actually feel bad for Hunter Biden. Daddy uses him to launder and pocket money for himself while Hunter wrecks himself with drugs.

When you realize the anti-Trumper you've been arguing with thinks this is what Trump meant when he said coyotes were bringing kids across the border. Millions of them thought this.

Hard to continue the conversation when you realize how dim the other side is....

Me too. But they know what will happen. They will be audited, called Russian spies, attacked and maybe jailed. Who wants to do that to their family?

Cannuck said:

I get it. I do. Just as oil companies get sued when a few geese land in their settling ponds. It's not equitable.
So, how do we find a compromise or do we just push on? It's New Rules where there are no rules, because people are either misinformed or they ignore them altogether. It's kinda like Antifa...mob rules.

Click to expand...

We allow local people to manage local resources withing a framework of rules.

Obama never had a private sector job. He was a "community organizer". Too young. No management experience, he ran everything from the top down. The bureaucracy grew, government agencies like the EPA got swat training ( really ).

Trump appointed managers who slashed and burned the rules, move headquarters for agencies like BLM, USDA out of Washington DC. Trump rolling back regulations was a correction similar to a stock market crash.

Now if we could find someone not batshit crazy, we'd probably be OK for few more years.

This is nonsense.

Whenever I see scientists take a stance against flawed public policy or their own professional organizations, they are usually well off and or retired and free to take on the ungrateful job of informing the public. It is a lifestyle change that will consume a life so it is best if the family is the same page. I suppose to do this in politics one really needs to be inspired to take on such a task and face the consequences.

Wish more politicians and people on the left would realize how radicalized their ideology is becoming and speak up before the left eats its own.

I just don't get how you can pursue this line when there is clearly nothing there. 22 years of returns bud versus a big fat zero.

How you or anyone could take any word from Donald amazes me. It's so clear what a liar he is on top of not being terribly educated.

Click to expand...

There was no stand alone, irrefutable proof. Data on phones does verify Biden's laptop is real and Tony B. is a eyewitness. Business records and a forensic financial auditor would be able to trace the money.

How you can discard that as all bullshit is beyond me. Much more evidence Biden's committed a crime than the Russia hoax.

FBI and CIA are corrupt. No investigation for Hillary. Used information they knew was false to investigate President Trump and tried to remove him from office.

Biden family obviously selling influence. Corporations don't hire drug addicts with zero experience to sit on their boards. They hired the V.P. of the USA's son.

V.P. Biden adjusted American Foreign Policy for money. Enough evidence for an investigation, special prosecutor.
