    There are none so blind as those who WILL not see.... Have you ever heard of anybody else who went from being thrown out of the military reserves in one year for huffing cocaine, but then became employed in an industry he had neither education nor experience in the very NEXT YEAR, for a FOREIGN CORPORATION, in a FOREIGN COUNTRY, making (at least) FIFTY-GRAND A YEAR...?! None so blind as those who WILL not see.... But not all of us are blind, or GULLIBLE... and we vote.

    If you find the reality that Trump, with all his personal incentive and investigative and law enforcement resources, as well as those of Ukraine and China, has been incapable of contriving any criminal activity with which to charge his political rival, bray heartily.

    Of course, you can also pretend that there is such criminal evidence, and Trump and his Justice Department are guilty of gross negligence by refusing to prosecute.

    Thanks for the info. Joe's wife is a doctor so that could be a factor. Nonetheless, thanks for the data.

    You are welcome to the information I have supplied to you about the fact that ol' Joe is, indeed, a multi-millionaire.

    Now, are you going to APOLOGIZE to me for calling me a "LIAR" about it...?! Your exact words in your post were, "Your implication that Biden became rich in office is, well, let's say it, a lie. Biden is far from being rich."

    Don't feel too bad... A lot of your hyperliberal, radical-Democrat colleagues are also long on mouth, and short on facts! :spin:

    It didn't bother you with fast and furious or with Hillary's illegal server with classified material on it, why does it bother you now?

    Meanwhile, back on topic, Biden, concerning whom no criminal accusations have been issued by the Trump Justice Department, nor by Ukraine, nor by China, is not a witness to Trump's attempt to pressure a foreign government to smear a political opponent, the subject of the congressional impeachment inquiry, so there is no reason to call him before the committees.

    Rather, this is what is scheduled this week in the public, bipartisan depositions:

    U.S. charge d’affaires in Ukraine Bill Taylor and Deputy Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs George Kent are set to testify before Congress in a public hearing Wednesday. The officials will testify together at 10 a.m. ET.

    Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch is scheduled to testify in public at 9 a.m. ET Friday.

    Taylor ... claimed to have heard from a top diplomat that military aid to Ukraine had been withheld pending the announcement of investigations into Trump’s political opponents...

    Taylor testified that Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, told him that ″‘everything’ was dependent on such an announcement, including security assistance.”

    Taylor also said he had a “clear understanding” that “security assistance money would not come until [Zelenskiy] committed to pursue the investigation,” a transcript of his testimony released last week shows.

    Kent said in his private deposition last month that Trump “wanted nothing less than Zelenskiy to go to [the] microphone and say ‘investigations, Biden and Clinton,’” according to a transcript released last week.

    Kent is expected to support other witnesses’ testimony about Trump’s involvement in an alleged pressure campaign on Ukraine led by Trump’s allies, including his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani

    Yovanovitch told lawmakers that Trump pushed the State Department to boot her from her post... Yovanovitch maintains that she had done nothing wrong and had been told as much by a top State Department official...

    The whistleblower, whose complaint helped spur the impeachment inquiry, suggests that Yovanovitch’s tenure had been cut short because of pressure from a former Ukrainian prosecutor and from Giuliani, who had been conducting shadow foreign policy efforts in the country.

    She previously testified that she was “incredulous that the U.S. government chose to remove an ambassador based, as best as I can tell, on unfounded and false claims by people with clearly questionable motives.”

    My mistake, Robster. I stupidly and mistakenly said that ol' Joe's little sonny-boy had gone from being a cocaine-busted failure (thrown out of the U. S. Navy Reserves) to getting a gig with a foreign company for "FIFTY-GRAND A YEAR". That was flat-out wrong! My bad....

    In fact, this 'chip-off-the-old-block', good old Hunter, was actually getting at least FIFTY-GRAND A MONTH, and some reports say he was making more like EIGHTY! Oh, and we haven't even gotten to the income-issue of CHINA yet, have we...? :twisted:

    Maybe we all should start snorting cocaine! If ol' Hunter is anyone to use as a role model for us, the 'little people', snorting cocaine definitely makes you very, very IN-DEMAND by major energy corporations throughout the world... but not the U. S. Navy Reserves....

    [​IMG]. Obviously, here's all you need to know how to do to GET RICH QUICK! :cheerleader:

    What criminal charges have been issued by the Trump Justice Department or any law enforcement agency concerning your attempt at diversion from the topic, Hillary Clinton?

    Do you believe that they are all engaging in dereliction of duty and violating their oaths by protecting her? Why would they do that?

    Are they asserting separations of powers or executive privilege?

    Well... yeah. It's all a part of President Trump being forced to provide justification for a Justice Apartment inquiry into the Biden's shady dealing with Ukraine. The dems thru Trump into that briar patch, then followed him inside

    Please list the criminal indictments that the trump Justice Department ha

    [​IMG]
    "Oh, yeah!
    Well, what about ...?"
    The reality is that two years of congressional hearings headed by Republican Chairman Issa and Republican Chairman Gowdy could not contrive a single criminal indictment of Hillary Clinton, nor has Fake Don's constant whining about her, despite having had the entire US law enforcement apparatus under his control for nearly 3 years.

    It's time you found a new diversion that doesn't immediately induce raucous laughter.

    Natty- with all due respect...we can't help but laugh at all your predictions, your mass fear mongering, and your constant Hillary praise.

    Do we need to cite more of your threads from 2016 or are the ones you're making now enough to make you realize how nuts your party has become?

    Evade all you must. Your desperation does not alter the reality that Republicans, despite relentless attempts, have not been able to contrive even a single pretext to issue a criminal indictment of the woman upon whom you fixate.

    Try not to brood about the past. This is the week that is!

    Lol Natty, no need to evade you. In fact, it's much easier to confront you.

    YOU led the charge on all the Hillary threads! You kept her relevant! And now, you want nothing to do with her OR Biden!

    LOL!

    Notice how Russian collusion is no longer impeachable. They have other unnamed sources, with speculative assumptions drawn from second and third hand gossip, rumors and innuendo. Then when this Ukraine stuff falls away, they will find other opinion driven speculations to traffic in

    Be patient, but, be careful what you wish for. It's ALL going to come out, and when the dust settles, I very much doubt that Geriatric Joe is going to be your nominee. You should be happy... with ol' Joe out of the way, you can put candidates before the voters who don't just STINK TO HIGH HEAVEN with arrogance and OBVIOUS corruption.... Today's Democrat field of candidates may not be much of a "brain-trust", but at least they have more sense than to BRAG on videos about forcing Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who was investigating the company that Hunter Biden was getting his $50K/month from.... Now, that's the classic "Doh!" . :spin:

    Confront the truth -- the ENTIRE WORLD has seen this video now... there's no place to hide, or pretend it doesn't exist....

    I thank you for your honesty, your personal integrity, and your sense of ethics. I accept this apology while saying that the end-result is that I now have a respect for you that I'm seldom able to cultivate for many of those who post here in the forum. All the best to you, whether we agree in the future or not!

    For the 100th time, Biden did not do it for personal gain.
