    I’m not getting anything interesting from this article. It doesn’t connect any dots.

    Is Joe Biden near the end of his political life? Well, yeah, he is very old. I’ll be surprised if he makes it through his second term.

    Did Hunter Biden benefit from his political connections to get on the board of Burismo? Probably. Is that wrong? Yes, it is wrong in the same way that all rich people and politicians of all stripes find ways to benefit themselves, their friends and relatives, using money and influence.

    Was it wrong for America to support the overthrow of the Russian puppet government in Ukraine? No. Was it wrong to advocate to get rid of Viktor Shokin? Seemingly not. Everyone except Russia wanted to get rid of him. Ukrainians seem pretty enthusiastic about shrugging off Russian influence.

    So, I’m struggling to see why I should care about Hunter Biden in particular. It seems like a generic case of benefitting from his connections and surname. But who was harmed?

      This is a far right conspiracy theory. You can tell because you have nothing to back it up and it only enables and excuses the Unazi States.

      So, I’m struggling to see why I should care about Hunter Biden in particular.

      They covered up this story to rig your elections. When you thought it was the Russians doing that (tell the truth, you believed that didn’t you?) I bet you were pissed off.

          He’s a Lemmygrad user, there’s no point in debating him. He’s just going to keep spouting a bunch of pro-Russia propaganda. It makes me seriously question the source of the article as well. I can’t say one way or another if it’s part of Russian propaganda, but the fact that a lemmygrad user posted it does suggest it started circulating among consumers of Russian propaganda, so there’s some circumstantial evidence at least. At any rate, it’s a just an opinion piece and probably shouldn’t be posted in this community.

            It’s telling that you alt right losers never have anything to counter the truth. Just continue to live in your weirdo bubble of lying to yourself and pretending you believe what you’re told.

          The FBI have admitted to it. Zuckerburg has admitted it and implicated twitter in it, and finally the twitter files showed it.

                Hey FYI, when attempting to sow chaos, you should at least get your left vs right straightened out. It’s kind of a fundamental aspect of US Politics. Be better!

                Oh, quick edit, your source sucks. It doesn’t prove what you think it proves.

                  get your left vs right straightened out

                  Are you going to try to tell me that the Dems are on the left or something? Does the concept have no meaning at all to you?
