Dude, do you not realize at this point that the reason Facebook did that is because it's misinformation? This is what I'm talking about with respect to the "conservative" side looking stupid with its buying conspiracy theories and such.

Watching some video of people attending today's Trump rally. We can't do it of course. But there is an argument to be made for identifying reproductive age people who attend those rallies and sterilizing them for the sake of the gene pool.

If I took Trump literally, then no. But it was pretty obvious he meant through better trade negotiations and other options like fees on visas, when he proposed the ideas in his position papers before he was elected.

I keep saying he sounds like any boss at a big company. No matter how bad something is, it's great! Sounds just like our CEO right now.
Yeah no. Trump was and still is full of it. Mexico isn't paying for anything. That as just bait for the GOP masses.

So the e-mails are fake? Fakebook allowed the Atlantic hit piece October Surprise, based on anonymous sources, of Trump's trip to the Aisne-Marnes American Cemetery, to be spread on their platforms, despite 16+ named people who were with Trump on the trip, who said it never happened.

Twitter already admitted they were WRONG to block the NY Post story.

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is investigating newly released emails that reveal that Hunter Biden introduced his father, former Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings in 2015 at Hunter's request.

Committee Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told Fox News on Wednesday that the committee has been in touch with the person who provided the emails and was in the process of validating the information.

The emails in question were obtained by the New York Post and revealed that Biden’s son introduced the then-vice president to a top executive at Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings less than a year before he pressured government officials in Ukraine to fire prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was investigating the company.

"We regularly speak with individuals who email the committee’s whistleblower account to determine whether we can validate their claims," Johnson told Fox News. "Although we consider those communications to be confidential, because the individual in this instance spoke with the media about his contact with the committee, we can confirm receipt of his email complaint, have been in contact with the whistleblower, and are in the process of validating the information he provided.”

The Post report revealed that Biden, at Hunter’s request, met with Vadym Pozharskyi in April 2015 in Washington, D.C.

The meeting was mentioned in an email of appreciation, according to the Post, that Pozharskyi sent to Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015 — a year after Hunter took on his lucrative position on the board of Burisma.

“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email read.

An earlier email from May 2014 also showed Pozharskyi, reportedly a top Burisma executive, asking Hunter for “advice on how you could use your influence” on the company’s behalf, the Post reported.

The meeting took place less than a year before the former vice president purportedly pressured government officials in Ukraine to fire prosecutor Viktor Shokin.

Yet Joe knew nothing about Hunter's shady business dealings.. :roll:
That's it...i'm not voting for Hunter Biden next month. :roll:

I'm sure we can find something unethical or illegal done by Eric or Donald Jr. The point is - they aren't running for POTUS. Their fathers are.

And thanking for " an opportunity" sounds like nothing definitely occurred. And where did this laptop come from? Was it stolen from Hunter?

I'm sure those Lincoln bedroom sleepovers people had in the past weren't anything more than "opportunities" as well. Glad we didn't get upset about those either. We should just all realize that politicians are far more ethical and honorable than we think they are and just let them go about their business of governing us without all these comments and questions. :coffee:

Chinazis gave Hunter millions. And god knows what coke fueled sex tapes they have of Hunter. Will China use that as leverage against a President Biden someday? Same scenario for any of Trump's kids that could have issues. If you want to be president your family needs to be pretty clean IMO. If half the shit about the extended Biden family is true they might be as corrupt as the Clintons.

This has been an awful look for Twitter and Facebook right now. Whether you like Trump or Biden or neither (assuming there isn't a weird Venn diagram where there's actually an overlap of people that like both Trump and Biden) these two social networks deciding to purposely block a story or people sharing the story is not a good path forward for managing potential misinformation. It's clumsy, arbitrary, and sure to elicit mass blowback every time they do this, and there will never be a perception that their are fair in those decisions. Not just a rabbit hole, it's a full on sink hole.

Hunter Biden pursued deals with a major Chinese energy company including one that would be 'interesting for me and my family', new secret emails said to be from the presidential candidate's son claim.

He also struck a deal for $30 million plus bonuses 'based on introductions alone' over three years after his father left office, then was offered a 'much more lasting and lucrative arrangement.'

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... -firm.html

The article talks about an email and the breakdown of ownership of the company. 20% owned by Hunter plus 10% held by Hunter for the "big guy".

Who's the big guy? Joe? :suspicious:

I don't disagree that you need to be clean but there's only so much a parent can do about thier adult children.

But i'm going to pull a page from the Trump playbook and just say it's all fake news. Trump is a scared little pussy with small hands, afraid of losing the election and he's slinging mud. It's fake news. Fake news. Fake..fake fake. Fake news.

You're both right. Ideally a candidate is clean but life can be messy and at some point a child is an adult and is responsible for their own actions. But if Biden knew that Hunter was profiting off his family name and relationship and didn't tell him to cut it out then it reflects very poorly on him. A person with his ambitions is not being very smart if they allow something like that.
