When Joe Biden was the vice president, his son Hunter lands a $50,000-per-month job with a Ukrainian company -- a job for which he is totally unqualified.

Others might call it, "Typical compensation for a board member of a company that makes hundreds of millions of dollars." By not giving you any context it's made to sound sinister when in fact it's not. What were you expecting a board member to make, $2,500 a month?

Was Hunter hired because of his dad? Well, yeah. And if it wasn't that company it would have been another company. Or another. Or another. The son of the VP would have no problem finding cushy jobs from people who would be dumb to not hire him. Just ask the Trump children.

As for Biden Sr., exactly zero people had a problem with what he did at the time and exactly zero people saw any link to his son. Zero. This is all a recently manufactured narrative given by Trump, a documented scam artist, Rudy, currently under investigation, two indicted Ukrainians, and a crooked prosecutor. What's wrong with this picture?

In the end we have compensation that is typical, a guy getting a job because of his famous dad, and the ouster on a prosecutor that most of the world wanted gone. Shocking.

Tell me exactly how you'd like to report the incident.

Are you denying the centralization of conservative media, with a single outlet dominating most coverage, and the impact that one source can have?

There's a reason why you guys literally use the same words....salacious dossier, duly elected president....

Blacklabel: Use CNN to discredit Fox News. Classic.

The point was that a majority of Republicans trust and watch Fox News only. It's created a centralized environment (bubble) where they control all of the information to an incredible number of conservatives. Or was the survey wrong?

black: It was announced there were no “casualties”. Now the media is saying there were “injuries”. That’s not the same thing and the dishonest media knows this.

Casualty - noun

plural noun: casualties

A person killed or injured in a war or accident.

What did Mnuchin say to Thunberg that you loved so much?

I've touched on this before. This is how the bubble was formed. It's also why you hear Republicans using the same exact language as the pundits and politicians.

This 1 chart explains how bad Fox News is for our politics

https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/24/politics/donald-trump-fox-news/index.html

A majority of Republicans (and Republican-leaning independents) don't trust ANY media company other than Fox News. And two thirds don't trust ANY media companies other than Fox News and ABC. The next 3 most-trusted media sourced among Republicans? CBS, NBC and, wait for it, the Sean Hannity radio show -- all of which are trusted by 3 in 10 people. Eighteen of the 30 media courses that Pew asked about were trusted by less than 1 in 5 Republicans and Republican-leaners.

Combine those numbers with Fox News's overwhelming viewership numbers among Republicans (60% get their election news from Fox; no other outlet gets above 30%), and the marked difference between its content and that of all the other mainstream media outlets, and you see a major reason for why we are where we are, politically speaking.

It's why you can literally put evidence and statistics in front of their noses and they'll tell you the information is all just a liberal conspiracy backed by liberal scientists/academics/media/Hollywood putting out false information.

Republicans have defended Trump’s actions as appropriate

Not really. The nutjob portion of his base say it's a Dem conspiracy. Others say he did it but it doesn't rise to the level of impeachment. Others say he did it but a President has that authority. Still others say a dozen people misread the situation.

All kinds of flavors for the Repubs to choose.

Trump had initially said he was told that no troops had been injured in the strike

Uh huh.

Time to buy the votes. Tax breaks will be next, no doubt.

Jimizo:. You dismiss universities as liberal PC institutions and a waste of money.

I believe his position is that Harvard is on par with Trump University.....both are scams.

And liberals continue to do the same.

Show me.

But still attacking a child, never a good thing.

Agreed and she was criticized and apologized for using his name. Your side is busy giving each other high 5s and justifying it.

Not like liberals

Not like conservatives.

I'm getting the feeling that Trump fans here don't support the "talk to me when you get a college degree" angle when it's directed at them. But to a little girl from a public official? Bombs away.

You mean like Barron Trump?

Barron didn't tell anyone that they need a college degree to talk to him.

Liberals actually think that?

Conservatives actually think that?

Most liberals act like 5 year olds.

Most conservatives act like 4-year olds.

goes back to school and really learns about the issues

You're in the same boat she is....no college degree. And very soon she will match your level of education. Should I tell you to go back to school and learn about the issues when you respond to my posts?

Serrano: Every Democrat who voted for impeachment should forfeit their salaries for the length of time this sham has taken.

Trump will have to give his pound of flesh first. And the GOP will have to sign their names to it.

Blacklabel: No, my position is that the law and the powers of the a President allow the actions that were taken.

And what actions were taken allowed under Trump's powers?

bass: In other words, let the Dems babble on 

Oh like the Republicans don't babble on.

arrestpaul: For three years House Democrats have been planning the overthrow of the Republican President who was instrumental in ol' Hillary's 2nd failed attempt to become POTUS.

C'mon dude....you're not even trying anymore. Throw out some weak point first before you go to your security blanket.

black: Or there was no proven abuse of power

Still going with, "this is all just a big misunderstanding," huh?

bass: Amazing how short liberals memories are

It's amazing how short conservatives' memories are.

Is what he said wrong?

What a douche.

Oh I think they support him abusing power to keep the GOP in power, not that they don't care.

"Is she the chief economist? I'm confused ... After she goes and studies economics in college, she can come back and explain that to us."

What a douche.

two men were seen arguing on the street before pulling guns on each other and opening fire as pedestrians around them scattered for cover.

Welcome to America.

bass: nobody impeach Obama when Republicans could have.

Can you make up a reason why Obama would be impeached? Make up anything you’d like, just don’t get too emotional.

serrano: You wonder how he takes out the world's top terrorists whilst avoiding any new wars, implements polices that have the economy booming with record low unemployment, makes progress on the physical barrier on the southern border which our border patrol agents say is necessary to help them do their jobs...

He’s melting down.

Blacklabel: But none of your people wanted to be the one to admit they decided years ago to impeach.

And we waited until 10 months before the election to do it? Makes no sense at all. Pelosi spent time squashing calls for impeachment, not rushing into it, and certainly not at this point. The entire concept is ridiculous.

Oh, and didn't McConnell say he would do everything he can to make Obama a one term president? What should we make of that, something sinister?

I'd say he feels a bit uncomfortable.

Blacklabel: They have no idea what we have to rebut all of Schiffs basement dwellers.

The diplomats are not basement dwellers.

Serrano: Trump doesn't need any help from Ukraine to beat him like a drum

Oh, boy. It's the "Trump is awesome so his actions can't be analyzed with conventional wisdom" line of thinking. The same thing happened when everyone laughed at him at the UN and Trump fans came here to say they were laughing at something else.

No one, and I mean no one, thinks Trump was countering corruption in Ukraine. He's Donald Trump. He is corruption and it's been proven many times. You can set that aside but I won't. He did it to himself.

I've asked this to you so I'll ask others: Did the diplomats simply misunderstand Trump's actions as quid pro quo? All of them? And Mulvaney. Bass thinks Trump is guilty but it doesn't rise to impeachment. Black thinks what I wrote above. How about you?

Did they all just get it wrong?

Mr. Noidall: who is stupid enough to believe the democrats are operating with integrity here.

So don't believe "the democrats." Believe Mulvaney. Or Trump's own call. Or the diplomats who testified. Plenty of evidence not narrated by Democrats.

On your side you have a documented scammer, a man who stole from charities, and insulted a teenage girl with aspergers. He's been sued for fraud. And lost. Multiple times.

Would you like me to believe that giving this man more power and carte blanche changed him for the better? He went from scum to honorable man when you voted for him? Like, do you say to yourself, "I bet the new Trump really hates what the old Trump did."?

No, you don't. Because you know your guy is scum. It's all about revenge for a lot of Republicans....and throwing an unapologetic scumbag at Democrats is all you care about. History will remember the time America elected a low class loser for President and that's all.

Great. So the world knows Trump is for sale

Bass:. No, we don’t care, but when she takes personal pot shots at the President, you know he’s not going to just turn the other cheek and forget it.

Is that why he wastes so much of his day on personal Twitter attacks?
