I suspect my brothers draft deferment was much like Trumps/Bidens. He was healthy enough to play football & baseball in high school but he had a heart murmur as a child. Dad was a corporate exec with a lot of local connections. I heard him say once that the doctor told him the murmur would be enough to keep John out of the draft if he wanted. I take it there was a choice there.
There is no testimony as Hunter has not been subpoenaed to testify before congress. I suspect that is coming. Chuck Grassley Discusses New Documents in Investigation of Hunter Biden's Ties to Communist China
March? The recent information is potential for tax and gun related questions. What is the connection to Joe Biden? I guess this is all conjecture at this point.
I reiterate taxes are not the only issue. Where did the money come from and where did it go? Everyone knows Hunter Biden is broke. Given the millions of dollars involved I fail to believe all that went to drugs and women. President Biden was well aware of Hunter's business involvements. There is ample evidence to suggest President Biden shared in largess. Call it conjecture if you want the klaxon sirens and red lights are blaring. Taxes and a gun charge are the least of Hunter's worries.
I don't think you can really be 'broke' when you have rich parents that send you money when you run out of it
Not sure why you thought that, but from what I can tell, their adjusted gross income for 2019 was near a million. I'm sure his net worth is nowhere near a lot of politicians though.
I think we can all agree that Joe Biden substantially increased his net worth from 2016 and all of it was from legitimate sources like book deals and speaking fees. Fact check: Biden amassed wealth through speaking and book profits Joe and Jill Biden reported earning $16.5 million from book deals and speaking engagements since leaving the White House
I agree that is where some of the money came from certainly not all of it. Joe Biden Net Worth 2022: How Wealthy Is the 46th President of the United States? But the University of Delaware alumnus grew his wealth through his career in politics. Biden earned millions in fees and royalties from speaking engagements and book sales in 2017. In 2018, he generated $4.6 million, $1 million in 2019, and $630,000 in 2020. Forbes reported that Biden and his wife Dr. Jill Biden earned around $17.3 million.
Hope this helps. Biden 2019 Tax Returns Show High Income and High Tax Rate While the link only concerns one year, the sources of Biden's income probably wasn't all that much different from what he received in prior and subsequent years. Most of the windfall from Biden's speaking engagements and book deals apparently occurred in 2017 and 2018.
I quite agree that it was dumb as dumb can be, and close to a 1000 other scenarios make more sense than him showing up inebriated and leaving all of his laptops there for service. Yet it seems that’s exactly what happened. People have hinted that it makes no sense for him to have been there since he did not live in that area at the time, but then all he would have to have done is account for where he was on the date of the invoice. Give me any date for the past 10 years, and I can probably research and figure out where I was or at least where I wasn’t. I also thought it was odd he would never categorically deny that it was him or whether it was really his computer (versus a replica built up with hacked data). It was always a vague “don’t think so” or “not certain.” I have to conclude that, until different evidence comes to light, the most likely scenario is that, however stupid, he did indeed roll right into that shop with those computers and never came back.
Good article. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/03/14/repubicans-hunter-biden-probe/ "She persuasively applies a “a basic three-part formula” employed by psychologists who study conspiracy theories “for disentangling truth from fiction, one that activates the rational, analytical side, rather than the lizard, fight-or-flight side, of the brain.” Her takeaway: The conspiracy theorists have reached the “temper tantrum” stage of the Hunter Biden “scandal.” This Hunter Biden lizard brain obsession ranks up there with the Benghazi investigation.
maybe a stripper /pro stole them after a night of doing lines and he didn't want to report them stolen? it seems that he must have been targeted and didn't want to disclose how he lost possesion of his laptops
"There is ample evidence to suggest President Biden shared in largess" There is zero point zero evidence or it would have been produced by now. What there is are right wing fever dreams. Now with the Kushners, there is plenty of evidence there of pay to play.
Maybe. Still as simple as demonstrating that he was nowhere near the computer store in question on the date in question. If he does that, it doesn’t matter what infinite number alternative scenarios exist for how that store got his computer. All that would matter is that it wasn’t him who deliberately turned in his own sensitive materials and failed to pick them up again. The fact that he has not categorically stated it wasn’t him is pretty telling in my opinion.
Don't ask ChatGPT to give you any truthful answers on Hunter either. ChatGPT’s bias allows hate speech toward GOP, men: report
