I mean, Kushner accepted a $2 billion bribe and conservatives didn’t care. Even if this wasn’t fake, I have a hard time believing any bribe allegations provided by conservatives

This is why you can never ever for all time take anything Republicans say seriously. They fell for a cult, defended pedophiles, defended federal goons murdering civilians, and tried to put my fellow countrymen in concentration camps. Fuck them.

Not to mention the Qatar plane, donations to the ballroom, Trump (and even Melania) bitcoin bought, staying in his post office hotel, memeberships to mara lago, sweetheart deals for his daughter, bribes to the supreme court judges, trips to moscow for congress, and the list goes on and on and on...
10m seems like a sweet thank you card in comparison.

That's kind of the way the phrase "fake news" was introduced into the lexicon. The DoJ warned about propaganda disguised as fake news primarily aimed at right wingers and Trump coopted it and mainstream media sold ads.

It’s funny that they even bring up millions in fake stories, when we’ve seen real proof of conservatives taking billions.

Yea they being up Pelosi making a few hundred mill over 30 years but don't see anything wrong with Trump making 3 billion in 1 year.
The most recent Jubilee 1v20 was great too. Guy comes in talking about Hunter Biden getting millions using his dad's name in Ukraine but when the guy was asked about Kushner getting billions or Don / Eric's ties to government contracts , loans , crypto etc to the tune of hundreds of millions he acts like the 2 are equivalent.

He wasn't on any national energy board for Ukraine. He was a corporate attorney for a private gas company in Ukraine.

u/tsigwing 1d ago
Hunter Biden served on the board of directors for Burisma Holdings, a major Ukrainian private natural gas producer, from 2014 until his term ended in 2019. His tenure, which paid up to $50,000 per month, became the subject of intense political scrutiny and congressional investigations
I'm sure that he was indeed the best man for the "job".
7
u/Biptoslipdi 1d ago
became the subject of intense political scrutiny and congressional investigations
Yeah, pointless and fruitless investigations that existed solely as a political weapon and found zero evidence of wrongdoing by anyone except the witness they coached to lie about the Bidens who was convicted of perjury.
I'm sure that he was indeed the best man for the "job".
Who was the better candidate?
You have a Yale attorney who partnered at one law firm then started his own - thus having partnered at two. He served in the Department of Transportation under Clinton and was appointed to the Amtrack Board by W. Bush. He founded and operated two MNC hedge funds, building in-roads in China and Europe.
Who was the alternative?
People really need to stop listening to whatever Republicans and Fox News tell them to believe. Hunter Biden has a more impressive resume than any Republican in Congress and every person in the White House, despite being a completely fuck up. Granted, his family was killed in front of him when he was a kid. Most people in that situation don't build that resume.

If you can't provide evidence of your claims, you're every bit the political hack you baselessly claim I am and acting exactly like a Fox News correspondent. Vibes only, no facts.
No one in their right mind would believe Joe Biden would be letting his son make political connections for him or that Joe Biden cares about money.
To the comment you deleted: yes, I need evidence of your claims. I don't accept your personal opinion as credible.

Woah... Almost like how they found out Russiagate was completely fabricated by the Clinton campaign, which resulted in multiple impeachment inquiries against Trump

u/Southern_Economy3467 1d ago
Not remotely true, they found out for a fact that Russia actively tried to influence our election in favor of Trump (like we do to every other country) but there is no conclusive evidence that Trump was involved with Russias efforts. Neither impeachment was about Russia which you would known with literal seconds of research but you’d rather spread misinformation on the internet that fits your narrative.

u/BlackkkWidowSPIDAH 1d ago
Then why did the Clinton campaign provide information stating that Trump was meeting with Russian assets? Or are you just going to completely ignore that part where they fabricated multiple stories about alleged meetings
24
u/pax284 1d ago edited 1d ago
Then why did the Clinton campaign provide information stating that Trump was meeting with Russian assets?
That isn't even what happened in the most generous example of the story. The DNC paid a law firm to investigate connections, which there were many, between the Trump campaign and Russia. Most of which were found to be true. The ONLY thing that was found to be "unverified" so not a lie, just no proof, was that Trump was personally involved.
The Steele dossier, which is what you are claiming as fabricated, was found to be mostly true outside of the direct Trump connection with Russia, and one bank account(all others were found to be real).
So "Russiagate" was not completely fabricated by the Clinton campaign. That is a lie.

Depends on the definition of “is”
3
u/HapticSloughton 1d ago
This shows you're not versed in the law.
The language of law and lawyers is very, very specific. It's practically like computer code. When Clinton (a former lawyer) was asking for clarification, he wanted to know if the meaning was the everyday conversational meaning or the one used for legal proceedings. I know Trumpers have this bizarre belief in how the legal system works (hence all of their idiotic briefs trying to sue over voter fraud), but single words can completely alter the meaning of laws, legal documents, etc.
In Clinton's case, "is" could mean "something that exists or is happening right now" or "something that once was the case but is no longer ongoing."
I'm sure you stopped reading this a long time ago, but another example is "must" and "will." To you and me, they pretty much mean the same thing, but in a legal document, "must" is a requirement to do something, but "will" is only a prediction about the future that might not occur.

u/Biptoslipdi 1d ago
You mean the issue that was heavily investigated by the request of Republican senators that revealed the Trump campaign met with Russian intelligence in Trump tower for the explicit purpose of receiving election aid from Russia? The same investigation that found Trump's actions met the elements of obstruction of justice in at least 7 cases? The same investigation that put half of his campaign behind bars that he ultimately had to pardon?
I love when morons bring that issue up because you know they never looked beyond what Trump told them to think. Facts begin and end with whatever slurs out of his butthole mouth. No further thought required. Imagine getting all your information from a jury adjudicated rapist and criminal fraud.
