    There may be just as many cons on Gator Country, but you spend much time reading any of threads they are dominated by the 10-15 leftist that know more than anybody else posting.

    I agree they are dominated by people bringing facts, not theories or wishes, from both sides.

    So, did the WH and Biden lie about Biden saying he's never discussed business ever with hunter or never talked to any business associates? Simple Yes/No Question.

    I'm willing to concede the Biden probably spoke with Hunter's business associates. Still absolutely no evidence that they actually discussed business deals and I would know some of those alleged conversations took place in 2017 and 2018 when Old Joe was completely out of government and had no real influence.

    I do not know, same as you. I think he did, but without proof it's just a thought with no evidence to back it up.

    The only facts that matter are ones that fit the correct narrative.

    Actually, there still no evidence that Joe spoke to anyone on these calls but Hunter. Hunter may have had the phone on speaker mode, so the business associates could hear Joe speak, but has anyone come forward and said they spoke to Joe directly on one of these calls? Or just that they were listening in as Hunter sold the illusion of a connection to Joe?

    And for those who need a refresher, evidence is defined as, "the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid. And I'm looking for hard evidence. Not the Lionel Hutz/Simpsons hearsay and conjecture kinds of evidence.

    Hunter's former business associate said biden spoke 20+ times to them. Hell, the NYT's even admits it's a well known fact. Yet here you and others are denying it.

    Really? I got a probably? Hell the NYT's admits it has been a well known fact for years LOL.

    NY Times claims it's 'long been known' Biden interacted with Hunter's associates, stunning social media

    "It has long been known that the elder Mr. Biden at times interacted with his son’s business partners," the Times wrote in a story published Monday.

    The Times’ reporting completely contradicts Biden’s claim in 2019 that he never once discussed business with his son or brother and comes amidst a highly publicized investigation into Hunter's business dealings.

    I didn't deny a thing. Read much?
    I (and you and everyone else on this thread) don't know what was said to who. Repeating things like facts doesn't make them facts.
    Calls took place, things were said, nobody knows what. Speculate all you like but don't tell me what to believe or not.

    FACT: the WH and Biden said he NEVER talked business to his son nor every spoken to any of his son's business associates. So you really think that isn't a lie? This isn't speculation.

    Again, I didn't deny they spoke. So What? Proof of what they spoke about is what is missing. They MAY have discussed money, drugs, prostitutes, unwanted children , or just the weather. Who knows? Not me nor anyone else in this thread.

    Here's the way I look at.

    Unless and until there's evidence that Biden actually discussed business, his comment about not discussing business was misleading because he omitted that he spoke with Hunter's business associates, but not a lie. I certainly understand why he didn't volunteer that he spoke with them, assuming it wasn't business related, because it would have been a self-inflicted speculation fiasco.

    Ultimately, unless some evidence comes out about payments to Biden or some sort of quid pro quo, it doesn't even remotely factor into my decision making on Biden vs Trump. A misleading statement doesn't come anywhere close to the bad things Trump has said and done. I'm almost certain to vote against Biden in the primary if there's a viable alternative (not RFK), but if Biden gets the nomination and is running against Trump then this is meaningless.

    So still zero hard evidence. Just conjecture that Biden may have talked to some of Hunter's business associates in the past. And the NY Times story stays business was never discussed in these alleged meetings.

    A VPOTUS usually has 2 meetings a day on his schedule. Hunter and Joe were also reported to talk several times a day, especially after Beau's death. Would we really expect anyone to remember every innocuous conversation Joe has? And again, there is zero evidence these conversations were nothing but innocuous.

    If all you have is Joe lying about actually having innocuous conversations with Hunter's business associates, that's a giant nothing-burger.

    This is from the link you provided.

    “The witness was very, very consistent that none of those conversations ever had to do with any business dealings or transactions,” said Representative Dan Goldman, Democrat of New York and a member of the Oversight Committee who participated in the interview. “They were purely what he called ‘casual conversation.’”

    Total moving of the goal posts..

    "The widespread Biden Criminal Enterprise" claims are now replaced with... "Please.. please.. cant anyone just say Joe talked to his son while Hunter's business partners were around? Please? And cant we impeach him for saying 'Hi' to Hunter?"

    You don't get it. Biden and the WH said he NEVER talked business with Hunter and NEVER talked to any business associates EVER. What part of lying don't you understand. You can't be this obtuse.
