    Politico confirms Hunter Biden laptop emails after media declared story 'Russian disinformation' amid election

    CNN's top brass admitted they were spiking the scandal as it unfolded, leaked audio showed

    Nearly one year after the Hunter Biden laptop story sparked a political firestorm, Politico confirmed some of the material first reported by the New York Post in the final weeks of the presidential election...
    There's a lot in the article but the theme is, AGAIN, the Leftist media, Big Tech, Democrats, etc are just a bunch of lying liars who are the most disgusting human beings on the face of the earth.

    Suppression of the truth, Leftist disinformation, banning anyone that disagrees with you, etc, etc. And you expect me to believe any of them on the Wuhan. Go away.

    Turns out Trump was right. The Right was right. And, AGAIN, no one will care that The Left are scum. And they will just do it again without recourse.

    Quick, someone yell "Russia!1!1!" to distract from the fact that they are getting pounced in a thread discussion.
    Once you vote yourselves into Communism, you must shoot your way out.

    Science that cannot be questioned is propaganda.

        Report: Hunter Biden Demanded $2 Million Plus ‘Success Fees’ to Unfreeze Libyan Assets

        Hunter Biden reportedly demanded a $2 million retainer plus “success fees” to unlock Libyan assets frozen by the Obama-Biden administration, according to newly discovered emails obtained by Business Insider. Though President Joe Biden has claimed ignorance about Hunter’s family business schemes, the emails suggest otherwise.

        “The first email, dated January 28, 2015, was sent from Sam Jauhari, a Democratic donor with businesses in the Persian Gulf, who was helping spearhead the Libya project,” Business Insider reported Thursday. “It was addressed to Sheikh Mohammed al-Rahbani, another Obama campaign donor involved in the proposal. In the email, Jauhari is frank about what Biden would bring to the table, and what he says Biden wanted in return”:

        Per phone conversation I met with #2 son. He wants $2 per year retainer +++ success fees. He wants to hire his own people – it can be close circle of people for confidentiality. His dad is deciding to run or not.
        Damn. I bet even Hillary is looking at this guy and saying "Holy shit this dude is corrupt".

              Hold on. Dopey dad says no way is the idiot son gonna out corrupt me:

              Biden may owe up to $500K in back taxes

              Biden may have improperly used 'S corporations' to avoid taxes on speaking fees and book sales.

              President Biden may have improperly avoided paying Medicare taxes before he took office and could owe the IRS up to $500,000, according to a Congressional Research Service report.

              "Joe Biden wants to raise taxes by $2.1 trillion while claiming the rich need to pay their ‘fair share.’ But in 2017, multi-millionaire Joe Biden skirted his payroll taxes — the very taxes that fund Medicare and Obamacare," said Rep. Jim Banks, who chairs the conservative Republican Study Committee.

              Banks said the report indicated that Biden improperly used "S corporations" while he and first lady Jill Biden raked in over $13 million on speaking fees and book sales in 2017 and 2018, but counted less than $800,000 of it as a salary that could be taxed for Medicare.

                We both know that if this was Trumps son, the coverage would have been 24/7. The investigations would be never ending.

                  It wouldn't even make a convincing farce.

                  Russia fiction peddled just before the election was taken more seriously than the Second Coming.

                  Flat out corruption by Hunter and the Biden family exposed just before the election denied and censored.

                    Isn't it funny how they always want someone else to pay for their pet programs?

                    Biden says the rich need to pay their fare share as he demonizes people who make what he makes. Then he cheats on his taxes?

                    Of course, that's what Democrats do. Why isn't Biden willing to pay HIS fair share?

                        This is what I find humorous and pathetic at the same time.

                        Not one of these politicians or financial equity pisswidgets (maybe the only thing from Norm that I liked) will or can put a hard numbers to the fair share (which in itself is quite the oxymoron) term.

                        Pols on both sides don't want to limit themselves on record for how much of yours and my money they want to confiscate and for the other end of the OPM spectrum, it is hard for them to put an exact figure on what turns out to be enough so they can live like the rich folk do.

                        28% Fed tax on money they don't really need if they can just print all they want.
                        15.3% Social Security that I will never live to collect everything I put in and Medicare that I still have to pay for after paying for it annually for over 45 working years and not being able to use it.
                        4.6% to the state.

                        This is 47%, almost half of every underpaid hour of my working life belongs to the fucking government before I see a fucking penny of it. And trust me, I am far from rich or what you could even say as comfortably well off.
                        You want to talk about wage slavery. If your are not talking about being slaves to Uncle Scrooge and his bastard children, your a fucking moron.

                        And that is just the beginning. After graciously allowing us to keep half of what they call earnings, they $5 and $10 (used to be nickle and dime, but goddamn inflation which, by the way is in reality a not so hidden tax) most everything one requires to live at any level when they purchase it and again annually should it be worth keeping like a house or car is nailed directly at various rates but for most average income earners the it works about 8% of what is left.

                        Now add direct sales taxes and buried excise, use, and regulatory taxes and you can probably figure minimum 10% to 15% of what you spend, luxury (like clothes and utilities) or otherwise (having the audacity to buy something just because you want it (like transportation, a TV, or washer and dryer).

                        So any way you would like to cut it, and arguing deductions, credits, and such aside, more than half of your working wage life goes to the government. For most people that is about 2-3000 hours per year or 23 to 34% not just of your day, but of every breathing second of your life, every year.

                        And what changes when these rich people and corporations that sway great influence (political campaign contributions, hush money, vacation junkets, and no-show jobs and directorships for family, friends, and relatives) are somehow forced to pay their as to now undefined fair share?

                        How will your life improve should they even manage to confiscate the entirety of the so-called 1%?

                        Not a fucking thing and it won't.

                        But keep thinking this is about fair share and the rest of the politicrap that they try to feed us. It keeps your eyes of the real slave masters.

                        BTW... Take your chemical cocktails and slap on that germ magnet. Why? Cause they told you to.
                        We are so fucked.
