How do you know there have been no gains? Are you an investor in the fund? Do you have a copy of the funds prospectus that describes it having to provide returns to investors during the first three to fours years of investment? Do you think that the impacts of Oct 7th on the Israeli economy might have had an impact on some of those investments since much of the working age population was mobilized? Obama and Biden have both worked with Iran, a country that has killed hundreds if not thousands of US citizens. It seems like everyone on this board is having a hard time actually coming up with something that Jared Kushner was paid off for besides his involvement in the Abraham Accords.
You do get that this appointment is a middle finger to Chris Christie, right? And likely to some other Republicans that remain Trump skeptical.
I agree, Doocey has always been a total embarrassment at those White House briefing/press conferences. (Plus points for the video clip.)
There are innumerable ways to mock the lack of morality of Trumppublicans. You didn't just vote for, you actively shill for an admitted and adjudicated sexual assaulter.....who also enacted a criminal conspiracy to overturn an election. How pathetic is that. But hey, you've got some people doing 'come on mans' and GIFs to support this abject lack of morality.
Poor Merrick Garland. Gets screwed over as a Supreme Court nominee. Then, he weaponizes the DOJ and gets a conviction against the president’s son. Then it gets pardoned.
I think Biden was hypocritical in pardoning Hunter and harmful for the cynicism it causes, but he wise to do so under the circumstances. Garland let the investigative process play out by giving Weiss independence and Joe obviously didn't interfere, Hunter was prosecuted and found guilty and pled guilty. No problem there. The problem is Republicans exerting political pressure on Weiss during the case that may bleed into punishment. Biden also had to have weighed the impeachment investigation that played out over 4 years, the callousness towards Hunter and the Biden family, and the frustration of Republicans to take a pound of flesh. With Trump publicly fuming for retribution to his litany of impeachments, convictions, indictments and civil findings, and throwing in his selection of cabinet/political appointees for loyalty to Trump over the Constitution, there would be no safeguard in Hunter's sentencing.
Here are the details that most people here are not talking about. I had no problem with Biden giving his son clemency for the gun charge... The problem is the BLANKET IMMUNITY DATING BACK TO JANUARY 1ST, 2014. He's basically pardoning himself and the money laundering that went on starting with Hunter's "job" at the Ukrainian oil company named Burisma, which leads DIRECTLY to daddy Biden. Joe is trying like hail to hide his dirty hands in all of his sons "business" deals from the public eye. Joe Biden is a criminal, just like his POS son.
After 4 years of Republican led investigations into Biden, and family, can you show us the evidence they found for money laundering?
Lol... the DOJ and the IRS let the clock run out... maybe Trump and the Pubs should take a page out of the New York state book and lengthen the statute of Limitations. But the Pubs tried only the Dems ran pure interference and would not let that case come to light. Trump's first cabinet, all most all of them were swamp creatures, did him and the American people no favors.
“Rep. Greg Stanton (D-Arizona) also weighed in to criticize the president’s decision. “I respect President Joe Biden, but I think he got this one wrong,” he said. “This wasn’t a politically-motivated prosecution. Hunter committed felonies, and was convicted by a jury of his peers.”” From a Wapo article.
