    I am quoting someone who was there. Do you have a source that says what he relayed is not true? I'll consider it. Are you suggesting Joe acted improperly in some way?

    LOL, it’s like a R commenting after the testimony. They are going to paint whatever is said to their side. Here’s the thing. We don’t know if Biden acted improperly, but we know for a fact he and the WH lied about his involvement in hunters business dealings. Why lie? What is there to hide? Obviously they think there is something or they wouldn’t have lied.

    The only way you would know if he lied is if you have a source saying Joe was involved with Hunters business. I have seen zero claiming that. Neither have you. All you have heard is someone saying Hunter called his dad to impress people and did not talk about business. Is there something you are actually claiming other than you feel that what i described constitutes him misleading you in some way in your own mind? I dont have this categorized as being in business with his son. No one in their right mind would. Unless you have a secret piece of evidence we dont have access to? Hunter is a tool. Big deal. I didnt elect him. If he is crooked he can go to jail. Joe has not been implicated in anything.

    So there’s only 2 options, you are either being purposely obtuse or just ignoring the facts. What part of Biden and the WH saying he NEVER talked to any of hunters business associates don’t you understand? If you just choose to ignore the facts then I guess that’s your prerogative but it’s funny to watch you do these mental gymnastics. I guess you can’t rise above partisanship. Not shocked.

    OMG! Joe may have had casual conversations with Hunter's business associates! Not only is that impeachment worthy, Joe must be executed right now!

    There is zero evidence Joe actually talked about anything of substance to any of Hunter's business associates. There were Rs in the room when Hunter's partner testified, and not one of them has stated they have a smoking gun. In fact, they are saying just what all the articles are saying. Joe may have talked to some of Hunter's associated in the past, but it was all innocuous conversations Hunter was using to sell the illusion of influence.

    So Joe may have flubbed when he said he never talked to Hunter's business associates. He should have just stuck to he never talked business with them. But is that really a big deal? Or is it more likely a silly mistake made by a human? Which last time I checked, we're all human.

    Nothing to see here. Uncle Joe is just old and forgot. That or he’s a serial liar. Either way I don’t really care. He’s terrible so is trump. I’d vote for just about anyone, at this point, over those two.

    Lying is not against the law. If it was over 95% of politicians in the US would be guilty. Although he may have very well spoke with them there is still no evidence that Joe Biden discussed business with any of Hunter's associates and even more significantly that he received compensation for using his influence to aid them as alleged or at least implied by Comer and the boys as well as the defeated former president and the right-wing media. The "Biden crime family" is kind of like the Loch Ness monster, certain people want to believe it's real but until there's substantive proof of its existence it remains nothing more than a fascinating myth.

    Why did he feel the need to lie? Usually people lie for a reason. Weird you aren’t curious why he lied…

    Just found a transcript of one of the calls:

    Ring...ring....click....

    Hunter: Hi dad it's Hunter. I'm over in Dubai. I know you don't know who I work for or what I do for them but the company is in trouble and we are in the middle of an emergency board meeting. So I thought I would call in the middle of the emergency meeting to see how the weather was in DC?

    The Big Guy: Well it's sunny and a little warm but not too bad.

    Hunter: ok sounds good. Talk to you soon. Bye dad.

    There are many different kinds of lies. And the average person lies 1 to 2 times a day. It's likely Biden didn't remember the conversations because they were innocuous, meaningless, and forgettable? Regardless, why is this such a big deal? There is zero evidence Joe spike business with these people. And zero evidence Joe took money.

    My kids are young, I can't remember 3/4 of their friend's names. If somebody asked me if my son had a friend named X, and I said I didn't know, only later to learn I knew X, is that really a big deal?

    Yeah, but I’ve said similar things before and received even worse for daring to tempt the political gods. It can always be worse.

    riiiiight just like you call out duggers. Spend literally years of your life railing against people who believe masks are effective but ignore the guy who doesn’t believe in viruses because he’s not a liberal. So completely full of shit lol

    With all due respect, you're getting to be like one of those little neighbor's dogs that won't stop humping your leg. One doesn't know if one should ignore it and hope it finishes quickly or just knock into the next zip code.

    When someone can point out a crinkle act more likely than not committed by Joe Biden, whether in his dealings with Hunter Biden or not— let me know. Let’s assume he talked business with Hunter Biden’s associates— so what? What official action did Biden take to advance his own business interests. I read Hunter Biden took a bribe. What official action did Joe Biden take in exchange for the bribe? Post facts.
