    The title of the thread is American Politics, not Joe Biden and his family
    As a Presidential candidate, Biden has released his tax returns, explaining where his wealth has come from. Incidentally, so has every other candidate since the 1970s. Except one.

    You've obviously never heard about the contents of Hunter's laptop?
    And you've obviously never heard about Joe Biden's threat to the authorities in Ukraine that if they didn't fire the prosecutor who was looking into his son's dealings with Burisma they would not get the 1 billion of American taxpayer dollars. (I told them) "You're not getting the billion dollars. I'm leaving in 6 hours, if the prosecutor is not fired you're not getting the money. Well son of a bitch he got fired (ha ha ha)."

    https://www.c-span.org/clip/campaign...-fired/4820105

    And Trump's taxes were broadcast to the nation by Rachael Maddow, after they were leaked to CNN - it must be at least 3 years ago now. At the time Trump was holding back his taxes - if you recall he said he would release them when the contents of Hillary's 33,000 emails were released (but that never happened).

    You're right on the money Sean (pardon the pun) with this. American politics is totally corrupt, the Republicans and Democrats are all in bed together, and I would estimate that 98% of them are bought off by special interests. I think we knew there was corruption in Washington already, but Trump really pulled back the curtain and exposed it all. After all he was never one of them and still isn't. We never would have known about the Deep State and their tactics were it not for Trump. Why didn't any of the Bushes, Clintons or Obama tell us about the Deep State? I think we all know the answer to that question.

    A ****ing random Google search isn't evidence for God's sake

    Are you that unable to make a cogent argument on your own? Or are you just so used to regurgitating any old crap you hear so long as it agrees with your views?

    Lets see who else Joe Biden gives pardons to in the next day or two ~ ~ He already had to give Hunter Biden a pardon covering 10 years ! ( that's 10 years )

    Why would anyone in there right mind be batting for the crooked Biden family ~ ~ It's bizarre !

    You didn't just ask that question, did you?
    Conservative TV and radio talk shows have been talking about "The Biden Crime Family" for 3 years now. That is quite a serious allegation to make if not true, wouldn't you say?
    How come you haven't heard about any of this? Where have you been? And what is your explanation for the video that was posted? Can you explain why Hunter, who didn't speak Ukrainian and had no knowledge of the energy industry, made over a million dollars from Burisma?

    A random Google search isn't evidence? But a Wikipedia search (not too long ago on this thread) is?
    I tend to agree with you about Google searches, but Wiki is even lower down the credibility list, is it not?

    Aside from all that, I've got a suggestion, and I'm being as candid as I can with you. How about you tune into some American radio talk shows?
    I strongly suggest Jeff Kuhner on WRKO Radio (available on the internet and airs every weekday from 11am to 3pm Irish time). There is also the Glenn Beck show and the Clay and Buck show (available on the internet also).
    We all can put forth our opinions on this forum until we are blue in the face, but these radio shows will give you an insight into what is really going on with everyday life in America.
    There are other shows / podcasts I can give to you if you are interested in what's going on.

    Didn't even have to wait 24 hours for the next one
    Trump launched a cryptocurrency last night. That'll end well.

    That is a pretty broad brushed attack on Kushner. It says he made a lot of money from the Saudis without actually doing anything wrong. It suggests a conflict of interest due to his ties to the WH. Kushner for his part defends himself and his actions and there was no investigation of any kind that I'm aware of. If there was wrongdoing on Kushners part it represents a huge missed opportunity for the Dems that they didn't rake him over the coals when every other minute aspect of DT's life was being brought to court.
    That said, if Kushner was found to have done something wrong, I would have no problem with them throwing the book at him. He was a thorn in Trump's side in the eyes of many.
    At this point in time though, Kushner has not received a presidential pardon dating back years like someone else we know.

    What is your take on DT's sentencing the other day? Do you see things slightly differently now?

    I have to give credit to Bill Maher. He has begun to speak quite a bit of sense recently
