Cont: The Trump Presidency: Part 28

[Crazy Chainsaw]

Pride goeth before a fall.

I bounce when I fall, Learned to do that a long time Ago.

 

[Horatius]

When did Hunter Biden betray his nation? When did he by act or omission allow the Capitol to be attacked? Hunter Biden may not be perfect but he's never done anything as close to as despicable as what Trump's three eldest spawn have done.

More importantly, when did Hunter Biden have any position of influence, either official or not, over the actions of the US government?

As ****** up as Hunter's life may be, at least it's only his ****** up life. We don't have to worry about it any more than we want to.

But Trump's ****** up kids were in a position to **** up things officially. We have no choice in whether or not that affects us.

This is just one more pathetic whataboutism intended to let the GOP voters off the hook for supporting the worst president the US has ever had.

Pride goeth before a fall.

Slight derail, but it's -

Pride goeth before destruction, an haughty spirit goeth before a fall.

Carry on,

 

[Andy_Ross]

It is comical reading these rants about Trump's kid. The current President has a real winner in Hunter, too. It's like Dems have no perspective on things.

Do we see hunter re-posting troll clickbait?

Did he steal money from a child cancer charity?

 

[Andy_Ross]

It is hard to quantify the immense stupidity of this angle.

It is like saying, "Yeah, Biden's kid may have killed 15 people in the past, but show me where he made some dumb tweets recently. See, Trump's kid is worse!".

Did he kill 15 people in the past?

 

[Roger Ramjets]

I'm picking that it's escaped almost everyone that the more Libberuls hate their memes, the more they love it.

Yeah, I hope they don't notice that we are just pretending to hate their memes. In fact the crazier they get the more we love it - as they push moderates further away from 'conservatism'.

And in other news:-

Kyle Rittenhouse becomes key figure in Trump world

Since he was acquitted of homicide and other charges last Friday, Kyle Rittenhouse has said he wanted to stay out of politics, and that he was disturbed by how his case became politicized.

“How polarized it became is absolutely sickening: Right or left, people using me for a cause that should never have been used as a cause,” the 18-year-old said earlier this week.

Yet Rittenhouse, who argued he was acting in self defense when he fatally shot two people during protests last year in Kenosha, Wisconsin, has emerged as a symbolic figure for the pro-Trump right wing

Thank you Kyle for pushing us closer to the civil war we all want. You have shown us the way. I can't wait to get my finger on the trigger!

I don't have to detail all of the shady actions of Biden's kid that have been exposed, recent and past. Everyone knows he is a screw up, just like Trump's kid. The point was the Dem hypocrisy on display here.

The fact that you are trying to find ways to justify it is...not surprising. It seems to be a common theme in this thread, on multiple issues.

The difference, which seems to completely go over your head, is that we acknowledge Hunter was a screw up, a druggie, a total loser and an embarrassment for Biden. He does seem to have gotten his act together, from what I understand, and gotten clean. On the other hand, Donnie Jr. continues to behave like a fool with his juvenile comments and photoshopped "Daddy, did I do good?" idiocies and is applauded for it by the GOP.

But, you win. I will try to make more substantive posts in the future. Like one I recently viewed in this thread, suggesting that Trump's kid is a "transsexual", or the reply that he might be...because he "doesn't have any balls". Very "substantive".

Sigh. Mocking someone else's bigoted anti-transsexual remarks isn't suggesting Donnie Jr. is a transsexual.

You brought up comparing the presidential sons. Now you don't want to play that angle anymore? Maybe it's time to take your ball and go home.

I do appreciate the correction. Learning stuff is cool.

Are you claiming warp12 has only one ball?

Incorrect. I clearly implied that he was no "winner". But he's not the only child of a President in that boat.

It's just more Dem hypocrisy in view. "Look at how bad Trump's kid is!"... meanwhile, Biden's kid is busy railing coke off a stripper's ass.

Hilarious.

Maybe it's time for you to read and understand the entirety of the posts.

These are the first posts mentioning Hunter Biden which were posted by YOU. Perhaps it' time for you to read and understand the entirety of the posts. Gaslighting is not your strongpoint no matter how often you try.

 

[Andy_Ross]

Two but very small I think it goes.

They've read H2G2 - the one thing you can't afford is a sense of perspective.

Is Hunter an integral part of the Biden "machine" ?

He might well be - do you have a direct line on who Joe talks to to for advice/support.

Hunter has also unquestionably used his name as a means of raking huge amounts of money for himself. Or maybe you think his painting are worth half a mio each.

My kid blows paint through a straw, too - I'm putting his art on EBay for $500k a pic and I'll let you know how many he sells.

Has Hunter got a history of posting infantile tweets in support of his father ?

Not a Tweet, but in a book, so a bit longer-lasting: "Donald Trump is a vile man with a vile mission".

Gosh, I wonder how many people would have bought a book by a former alcoholic drug addict if he hadn't been the Veep/POTUS' son?

How many copies do you reckon Pillory could sell?

More importantly, when did Hunter Biden have any position of influence, either official or not, over the actions of the US government?

Can you refresh my memory on what Jr or Eric did in any capacity while the mango was in the WH? They were on the payroll, but that must be ok, because I don't see any criminal action being taken.

All I saw was a pair of wankers Tweeting. Action: zero.

 

[autumn1971]

Yeah, sure.

There are 144 million taxpayers in the US, and with 1 out of 30 not even filing, that is 4.8 million people alone. That doesn't include all the people who file and cheat on deductions and such.

Maybe only a few of those people are critical of Trump.

Or, maybe all of them are die-hard Trump supporters.

Or, maybe there are plenty of hypocrites out there.

I don't always file my taxes.
It's stupid of me, but it sure gives the Government a lot of extra money.

I imagine that a lot of people who don't file fall into a similar category.

I'll leave it up to you to surmise what I mean by "a lot."

 

[dirtywick]

I think it's true that Hunter Biden is a spoiled rich kid born with a silver spoon in his mouth and his father's prominence as a politician has gotten him a lot of opportunities and privileges that he wouldn't otherwise have gotten. It's also true that he's a knob.

But, and while it's easy to point out the role of Ivanka and Jared Kushner when we're talking about the kids on the payroll, what Jr and Eric do differently than Hunter Biden is they are constantly inserting themselves into political commentary. If you're a regular guest on Fox News and participating in the presidential campaign, you're open to public commentary.

To add a little to that, Jr's been a guest a bunch of times on OANN and has been pretty clear in general about his intent to troll/trigger the libs. He's quite literally telling the public (not just the libs, honestly, unless the rest of the public is entirely happy to sanction such crass BS) to criticize him. There's simply no basis to complain when he's literally getting what he's asking for.

Hunter Biden isn't even close to being in the same situation, for all the ******* up he's done.

Careful. Someone's head may explode with all that hypocrisy and lack of perspective!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_Jr.

Trump was active in his father's 2016 presidential campaign. He cooperated with Russia in their interference in the 2016 United States elections and had a meeting with a Russian lawyer who promised damaging information about the campaign of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.[4][5][6] He has promoted several conspiracy theories.[7][8][9][10] Trump has engaged in attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election following his father's electoral defeat; he has promoted the stolen election conspiracy theory and advocated "total war" instead of completion of vote counting.[11][12] He spoke at the rally that led to the storming of the Capitol, where he threatened Trump's opponents that "we're coming for you."[13] On January 11, 2021, Attorney General for the District of Columbia Karl Racine said that he is looking at whether to charge Donald Trump Jr. with inciting the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol in the criminal investigation into the attack.[14]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_Jr.#Involvement_in_politics

Trump Jr. influenced his father's choice of Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke during the presidential transition.

2018 midterm election campaigns
During the 2018 midterms election cycle, Trump actively campaigned on behalf of Republican candidates, including for Matt Rosendale, Patrick Morrisey, Mike Braun, Ron DeSantis, Lee Zeldin and Matt Gaetz.[52] He raised millions of dollars for Republican candidates, was second only to his father in his ability to draw crowds to campaign events, and is credited with helping Republican candidates win.[37]

In an October 29 interview with Fox News's Laura Ingraham, Trump Jr. asserted that the coronavirus death rate has dropped to "almost nothing", adding "(b)ecause we've gotten control of this thing. We understand how it works – they have the therapeutics to be able to deal with this. If you look at that, look at my Instagram, it's gone down to almost nothing."[61] On that day, the number of coronavirus deaths in the U.S. was 1,063.[62]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Trump#Trump_presidential_campaigns

Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign was formally launched on June 16, 2015, at Trump Tower in New York City. Eric was a key advisor, fundraiser, and campaign surrogate during the campaign. He and his wife made campaign appearances in numerous states on his father's behalf.[47]

In May 2020, Trump said on Fox News that stay-at-home orders to combat the spread of COVID-19 were a strategy by the Democrats and the Joe Biden campaign intended to prevent his father's reelection by depriving him of the ability to conduct large campaign rallies. Trump said that after election day, "coronavirus will magically all of a sudden go away and disappear and everybody will be able to reopen."[51][52]

In September 2020, Trump spread a false video that appeared to show Biden "being caught red-handed using a teleprompter" when he was not.[53][54]

Following his father's electoral defeat Eric Trump has engaged in attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election, falsely calling the election result a "fraud" and threatening Republican lawmakers to overturn the result.[55][56]

While ballots were being counted in the 2020 election, Trump made baseless claims intended to cast doubt on Pennsylvania's ballot-counting process.[57] He shared a fake video that purported to show Trump ballots being burned.[58][59][60]

There's some highlights.

Trump's kids have been intimately involved with his presidency since the very beginning. They have actively inserted themselves into almost every major issue of the last 6 years or so in support of their father, to the detriment of everyone else in the world.

Hunter Biden sold some books about himself and some ****** artwork.

 

[pgwenthold]

How much of Hunter Biden's "fame" that leads to him selling crappy artwork is due to being propped up by Republicans?
