Interestingly, the article begins with mentioning Hunter's activities in Ukraine, and implies that nothing improper happened there. Any honest observer would certainly think that a Ukrainian energy firm hiring Biden Jr to consult for major $$$ on matters he knows nothing about, while his father is the U.S. President's pointman in Ukraine, is clearly a shady deal.
The article should be about how both presidents are being corrupt, but we get this.
- whateveracct 1y agoThe article doesn't need to be about both Presidents - why is that a necessity? The old administration is done and over. It's clearly about the current administration, which is partaking in enough visible, ongoing corruption to fill a textbook.
- bdavisx 1y agoTrying to what-about this just shows that you're either being deceitful or don't understand the differences. Biden Jr. was taking advantage of his dad's position - and everything seems to point that Biden Sr. was not involved and didn't really want to be invovled. The Trump family is all in and everyone is involved trying to grift as much as possible, including the President.
- foogazi 1y agoThis comment is only about Biden’s presidency- it should be about both Trump and Biden, but we get this

- yostrovs 1y agoEveryone that Trump is making even wealthier is highly educated and deserves it too.
- eddiecalzone 1y agoSarcasm, ha
- AdamN 1y agoThat's really disingenuous. Clearly Biden Jr. was getting paid more than he would have but he probably did have unique insights that would be worth quite a bit of money to Burisma. But the accusation is just that he made a few $100k more than he would have and made some top-level connections (so the money actually seems sensible). Every well read person just takes these things at face value as a single individual fallling up - but he had no true secrets to give and no real power. The corruption within the Trump admin is expansive with hundreds of millions of dollars across multiple businesses and at least in the first administration real power vested in family members.
- goosedragons 1y agoThere is only one president. Biden is not going to run again. He's not relevant anymore.
- 9283409232 1y agoThis is "but her emails" energy. I don't care about Biden. He is done and irrelevant. Trump is the catastrophe we are dealing with right now.
- soupfordummies 1y agoit's a very poor argument anyway: "oh biden did bad thing too". Okay, so you're admitting it's a bad thing first of all. Second, how does someone else doing a bad thing make it any LESS bad for others to do it?
