Posted in: Hunter Biden indicted on federal firearms charges in long-running probe weeks after plea deal failed See in context
Trump will be tried in a court of law, not in the court of public opinion. So will Hunter.
If the court of law finds something heinous against Hunter that leads back to Joe, what next? Will your life's focus still be on Trump?

Because inflation is a multifaceted phenomena for which cookie-cutter excuses are not appropriate.
That's what people say when their choices of politicians are in office. When they aren't, the finger pointing is on full display.

Rest in Peace to the victims and prayers with the families. This is how sick our World is nowadays, instead of offering solutions and condolences to families, people immediately rush to point fingers at the political party they dislike. Utter and complete heartlessness.

China had exactly the same human rights issues in 2008 during the Summer Games but they were successful and had many upon many viewers and diplomats attend. China unleashed this virus upon the World and tried to cover it up so now the World is focused on China. They dug their own grave if these games don't profit or break even.

Carelessness caused by misplaced confidence in the vaccines.

The people to blame is the Commander in Chief and whoever he picked to run and make rules for the U.S. military. They very well could have made restrictions or mandates to prevent this.

Lots of kids pass their 'swimming test' at school having never been out their depth.
But you can't generalize that all Japanese people can't swim. There are tons of kids who are enrolled in swimming schools and most of them are full due to school swimming lessons not happening due to the pandemic.
I remembered when I got my diving license in Palau, the instructor said it was a lot more fun taking Japanese groups out because they could actually swim and explore. The groups from Taiwan, Korea and China all needed floaters when swimming.

China knows what is at stake so that is why they have been going around acting they are pandemic-free and even uploaded on YouTube a dance party in Wuhan. I went to the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and enjoyed them. I especially liked that tickets were reasonable and hotels didn't really overinflate their prices like they do with other host cities. I was thinking to go to the Winter Games too until the pandemic hit.

Done? He is 26 years old with a long career ahead of him. Do you know what day-to-day even means? He could play tomorrow or this weekend.
