skud, your apology for being wrong, wrong, wrong about the Biden Crime Family should be posted here. We told you there was nothing to the allegations but noooo.... you knew better. Ha! Your voices of authority were duped by Russian spies.

I watched the clips of Gym Jordon as he was faced with the news his star witness (again) lied (again). He was doubling down, his face set, almost as if he lost control of one atom of his being he'd fly off into a bamzillion pieces. For such a sorry excuse of a human it was justice at its' finest.

Reified beliefs.

Fuel for those who fear change, who long for that American mystical past - no matter how imaginary it always was, and who trust no one - because they know they can't be trusted.

It is what drives the orange hued demented human orangutan as well as all his MAGAverse cultists.

Grey, I said at the start of the impeachment biden hoax that it was a lost waste of time. I still hold that the biden crime family is real but I have never believed joey b was in charge. I think he was duped by his relatives and doesn't have the sense to know he was taken advantage of.

The republicans are increasingly out of touch with reality and they will not win either house or the presidency with the evil one at the head. We have traded a governing body fora vindictive bunch. Joey b's advisors are giving him good advice. Buy all the votes you can because the rich collage kids will vote for you if you buy them and the tradesman, except leslie of course, who will pay the bill will vote conservative. Smart political move.

skudrunner "I still hold that the biden crime family is real..."

Based on what evidence?

Would you like it, skud, if someone on social media or a blog said they "still hold that skudrunner keeps child pornography on his computer?"

That's awful to say about someone without any evidence. Isn't it. Awful.

But you just did a similar awful thing to the Biden family. And that's why this country is in turmoil.

People like you and others make accusations without a shred of evidence, just because they "hold" an opinion, and they feel free to destroy other people's reputation.

It's an ugly thing to do.

skud is flat out delusional.
He believes s**t for no other reason than he wants to. Whethet true or untrue.

These type of people are unwittingly quite dangerous people.

skudrunner said...

Ms. Shaw, How can you deny that hunter was totally unqualified to serve on a board in Ukraine unless he was peddling influence. Did joey b know about it we will never know but since hunter is part of the biden family he reflects all of the family.

Shaw Kenawe said...

skudrunner,

You claim the Biden family is a "crime family" without a jot of any evidence to back that up.

Your suspicion about Hunter Biden peddling influence is nothing more than conjecture. Nothing of the kind has been proved.

I've never defended nor excused the mess Hunter Biden made of his life.

You dislike Joe Biden and so you feel you have the right to defame the entire family based on nothing but your suspicions and dislike of them for being liberals.

Not a good look.

In the MAGAverse it is considered a very goid look for the gop and the orange hued demented human orangutan.

FOR SKUDRUNNER:


"Republican Ken Buck (R-CO) confirmed to CNN that House Republicans’ claim that President Biden and his son, Hunter, received millions of dollars from a Ukrainian energy company during Biden’s time as vice president, came from an unverified FBI source who was arrested last week for lying to the agency and is suspected of peddling Russian misinformation.

Buck told CNN, ‘We were warned at the time that we received the document outlining this witness’s testimony … We were warned that the credibility of this statement was not known.’ Buck went on to say that despite this warning from the FBI, House Republicans went on to trumpet the information everywhere, even going as far as to make it central in their impeachment proceedings against Biden.

Alexander Smirnov told the FBI in June 2020 that then-Vice President Biden and his son had been given up to $10 million from Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company that counted Hunter Biden as a board member. According to reports, the FBI fought House Republicans on making the information public.

Smirnov had been an FBI informant since 2010 because of his ties to corrupt foreign businesses and government officials. It was around 2020 that the FBI began to suspect some of his information was bogus as they were unable to corroborate a growing number of his statements. It was also around this time that news of a concerted Russian effort to discredit President Biden came to light.

In 2023, Smirnov reported more than a dozen meetings or conversations with Russian officials, which were revealed in court documents involving his arrest for lying to the FBI. In September 2023, the FBI interviewed him again regarding the claims he had made over the years about the Bidens. Prosecutors in his case allege that he repeated previous false claims and also pushed new false narratives, which they suspect came from his meetings with Russian officials.

Smirnov has not yet entered a plea in his case. Buck also admitted to CNN that the news ‘really undercut the nature of the charges.’


Where is your evidence that the Bidens are a "crime family?"

I can't recall where, but I hear Skud keeps child porn on his computer.

skudrunner said...

Ms. Shaw, I guess you believe that Burisma paid hunter hundreds of thousands of dollars because he had zero knowledge of the industry and not because he had ties to daddy. Interesting theory. I don't dislike joey b I just think he is unfit for the job which is to protect us. Three wars, funding nuclear development in iran, opening the border, prioritizing accommodating uninvited visitors at the expense of citizens.

Grey One talks sass said...

Dave Dubya, many people have said and even more have questions. I suggest an investigation to get to the bottom of the issue. Let's take our time. Evidence? Ha, we can find what we need.**


just using your rules of engagement skud. Don't like it? I don't blame you but these are your rules. If you don't like them being applied to yourself what makes you think anyone else is pleased as punch when you do it to them?

Do better skud. Trying to show you how but you keep eating the chalk. Stop it.

OT but adjacent to the subject at hand, I've been reading Marcy Wheeler at emptywheel. She has an amazing breakdown of the Hunter Biden case and oh my stars and garters... charts are needed. And color coding because it's a maze of who knew what when, why weren't warrants obtained, and why exactly did a troubled man who actually paid his back taxes get charged for the crime of nonpayment and why did the IRS agents in charge lie?

All the posts are good reads if a bit complicated due to the legalese. She translates well but still, some stuff defies translation. One thing is clear to me though (as someone who sees both the larger picture and patterns in the chaos) all these events are too complicated for our regular GOP actors. For a plan this elaborate it requires Russians. They have a finesse we Americans do not (well, they've been dancing this dance before we were a gleam in Washington's eye).

By the way, does anyone else remember the contingent of GOP congress critters who trucked themselves over to Russia over a July 4th holiday back in the day? I'm thinking they weren't there to sightsee. Of course the 'official' reason was to 'warn' Russia against meddling in the 2018 election. Yes, of course.

The movie about this timeline is going to be a blockbuster. English versions will be tense and drama filled. American versions will be filled with car chases and explosions (even though the only explosions are metaphorical). It will make lots of coin at the box offices around the globe.

I truly hope the finding out part of the GOP plan to turn the USA into a theocracy comes sooner rather than later.

Also - the leaders of the Biden impeachment crusade knew the 1023 form for their informant wasn't credible. From what I've heard and read the whole point of the 1023 is to log the info so it can be vetted, not that it has been vetted. A distinction I'm sure both Comer and Jordon knew about and they ran with it anyway. What does Putin have on these gents? Must be juicy!
