I was clear in my post to you and I've been quite clear about this matter in the scores of times I've told members the same thing. This is not something new. I have been consistent on this subject.

I run this forum. I set policy here. If you have a reading comprehension issue and you need things explained to you more than once, it is solely your problem.

This is not about opinions; it's about defeatist attitudes.

It's the pervasive attitude of this cynicism and defeatism that he does not like floating through his forum to the other members.

I saw a Twitter post by conservative pundit Jack Posobiec that raised a good point; what if the Democrats had planned for Joe to announce he’s not running for a second term by now but both Joe and Jill (way more Jill I think at this point) are refusing?

All these articles in the past few days by the MSM talking about how Biden is too old and questioning his mental state and even urging him to not run again are pretty telling.

I agree the swamp leftists including lefty media are closing in around him. They all know he’s crooked as hell. Now they are throwing Hunter under the bus. My bet is Hunter takes the felony and Joe pardons him while doing the LBJ speech I’m not running again.

Gavin and Kamala are your 2024 ticket.

I'm in Rehoboth Beach, DE this week. If I see homeless Joe napping on a boardwalk bench, I'll ask him.

I saw Dick Morris (usually...meh) mention that there is also one possible scenario where the dems let us waste all our time picking on Joe, then a last minute switch leaves little time to make the transition to the policy issues which are the point. Even if only a remote possibility I do agree more needs to be made on policy differences.

I think at this point we WANT the vegetable in chief to keep stumbling. If they swap Biden out for darn near anyone else aside from Kamala Harris, half the country is dumb enough/crazy enough to go along for the ride.

Hunter Biden investigation: Questions about Secret Service gun purchase cover-up resurface

https://www.washingtonexaminer...service-gun-purchase

Hunter Biden’s indictment this week on charges related to an alleged gun crime has resurfaced concerns about how law enforcement handled the incident in 2018 when it occurred.

The president’s son faces three federal charges for allegedly lying on paperwork he filled out to buy a firearm from a gun store in Delaware. On the purchase forms, Hunter Biden stated that he was not addicted to an illegal substance, even though he went on to detail how severely he was abusing drugs at that time in a 2021 memoir and in media interviews.

But in the immediate aftermath of the gun purchase and the bizarre manner in which Hunter Biden lost the weapon less than two weeks after buying it, Delaware police did nothing to punish him, and the Secret Service agents reportedly attempted to make the problem disappear.

Hunter Biden’s gun purchase turned into a debacle in October 2018 when Hallie Biden, the widow of Hunter Biden’s late brother Beau, tossed the firearm into a dumpster outside a luxury food market after discovering the gun in Hunter Biden’s truck.

Hunter Biden and Hallie Biden were romantically involved at the time.

When Hunter Biden learned what his then-girlfriend had done, he ordered Hallie to return to the store and retrieve the gun; the firearm had disappeared when she did so just a few hours later, according to a Politico report in 2021.

That report said Hallie Biden notified the food market, whose general manager called Delaware police.

The disposal of the gun in the store’s dumpster raised additional alarms because the food market was located across the street from a high school.

Citing a police report, Politico noted that Hunter Biden attempted to shift the blame for the missing gun onto the “prolly [sic] illegal” Hispanic workers at the store.

But a troubling element of the report involved what Secret Service agents were doing at the same time that police were questioning Hunter Biden and Hallie Biden about the missing gun.

Unnamed sources said agents showed up at the gun store where Hunter Biden had purchased the firearm and demanded to take the purchase paperwork with them. The gun store owner reportedly refused to hand it over.

While neither Hunter Biden nor his father were Secret Service protectees at that time, Joe Biden reportedly maintained an unofficial working relationship with Secret Service agents stationed in Wilmington, Delaware, during those years between his vice presidency and his selection as the Democratic nominee for president.

Whether Joe Biden asked Secret Service agents to track down the gun paperwork, which is key to the federal charges Hunter Biden currently faces, will likely emerge as a topic of concern as Hunter Biden’s gun cases progress.

Unanswered questions also remain as to why Delaware police took no action on the case.

House Republicans expressed skepticism on Thursday, when special counsel David Weiss filed his indictment against Hunter Biden, that the charges represented a serious attempt to hold Hunter Biden accountable.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) noted that the gun offense is the only alleged crime of Hunter Biden’s in which Joe Biden cannot be implicated.

Secret Service or no, it's a predicament for ol' Hunter and any favoritism he may be apt to receive. If he skates on this, it illustrates that additional laws will be ineffective because they won't even enforce existing laws.

And if, as has been suggested, his lawyers invoke the Second Amendment- well, the hypocrisy will be visible to everyone.

Both are from California... they wouldn't do that. Gavin more likely than Kamala but he would pick a different VP running mate.

The juicy irony of Hunter possibly using the Bruen case as a defense is amazing. Crackhead in posession of a gun or not, he still allegedly lied on a Federal form under penalty of perjury. If Bruen makes the form useless then that’s a conversation as well. The secret service going in to that FFL and demanding the 4473 needs to be investigated as well.

I can not keep up with his timeline. So he was involved with his dead brothers widow ? At almost the same time he was getting the stripper pregnant ? Man. This guy has some serious game.

I'll go even deeper than that - Gavin, Kamala DiFi, Boxer and Pelosi are from San Francisco.

There's no way well in hell that the DNC blesses an all San Fransciso ticket for a national election. SF isn't a model city for the nation.

"While neither Hunter Biden nor his father were Secret Service protectees at that time, Joe Biden reportedly maintained an unofficial working relationship with Secret Service agents stationed in Wilmington, Delaware, during those years between his vice presidency and his selection as the Democratic nominee for president."

Maybe a few Secret Service agents owed Hunter & The Big Guy a few favors.

Hookers & Blow involved? Hunter knows something about hookers & blow.

Not that farfetched, there's precedent: Scandal, Cartagena, 2012, prior to President Obama's impending visit. Joe Biden was his VP. Ten Secret Service agents, 20 hookers. Obama told the press, if the allegations about misbehaving SS agents proved true, he'd be soooooo mad.

While I confess to being a cynic I deny defeatism. I was simply making a prediction, one, according to this afternoon's news, apparently shared by prominent attorney, Alan Dershowitz, who predicts plea deal, no jail time.

Turley also says there will be no jail time because there's no history of criminal convictions and as such, a non-violent crime and being a first time offender usually doesn't result in incarceration.

That said, he most certainly will be guilty and receive a suspended sentence and one of the terms in any sentence is that he break no laws. A guilty finding or plea in any subsequent cases would send him to jail.

Perfect

Here's a thought: How about we wait and and see what happens? Has that ever occurred to you? Has it? Can you divine any advantage to not predicting the worst?

And I don't want to hear about what Dershowitz or Turley think, because they don't know, either.

Am I getting through?

Money talks. You throw enough money at anyone with no principles and they'll do whatever you want. Even if you're a wart-riddled ogre...

CNN:

" Claim : Biden family and associates got $20 million through shell companies

“Bank records show that nearly $20 million in payments were directed to the Biden family members and associates through various shell companies,” Kevin McCarthy said.

Facts First : This is true about Joe Biden’s family and associates, but there is no public evidence to date that the president personally received any money. "

reply from PJ Media:

"CNN doesn’t even attempt to deny that the Biden family got millions from foreign sources or to come up with an explanation for the use of the shell companies. In fact, the lack of journalistic curiosity about these shell companies is quite alarming. We’ve been pointing out that these companies had no apparent purpose but to launder foreign money before distributing it to members of the Biden family.

Does having 20 shell companies to filter millions of dollars through sound like legitimate business to CNN? What were these companies selling, if not the product of Joe Biden’s influence?"

This particular line is getting REALLY old. It's obvious to anyone with a pulse that the product being sold is the biden name/influence.

Whether he receives it/any benefit in/directly or not, if anyone within the biden sphere benefits because of his position and influence, it's still bribery.

Picking apart whether brandon can be "documented or linked" directly to the money is a fools errand. If you can link him directly, that's fine, but it's still bribery without the link. That's obvious to anyone except the MSM...
