    Yes, where were you when Hunter Biden was on the Burisma board?

    It's not even particularly good whataboutism.

    Because as VP, there is a limit to how much Joe Biden could do for Burisma. Notice in the years of trying to smear Joe Biden with the alleged misdeeds of Hunter, to the best of my knowledge, no one has pointed to a single action that Joe Biden took as VP that worked to enrich him or Burisma or Hunter.

    By contrast, the chart makes a direct link to action that Trump took as president that benefited him and his sons.

    So now that we've done with the whataboutism, any thoughts about these actions by Trump, and he and his family directly benefiting, FF?

    In fact, it's a terrible effort.

    Trying to argue that Biden is corrupt by saying "Burisma tried to curry favor with the Obama administration by putting Biden's son on the board but didn't actually end up getting anything from it" is like saying the town constable is corrupt because somebody tried to bribe him to get out of a speeding ticket and failed. It actually makes the case for Obama and Biden being more ethical, not the other way around.

    And honestly, if that's his BEST, his big slam dunk, that is pretty fucking weak.
    "Ermagerd, but Hunter Biden and Burisma!"
    Even if Burisma did get something out of it, not only does it pale next to the amount of corruption going on now (20% markup on the reflecting pool, for instance), it also just demonstrates that @Steal Your Face 's only concern is whether the corruption benefits his side or not.

    Honestly, the best whataboutism attack on Biden would have been his preemptive pardon of Hunter and his family right before leaving office, and I agree that he shouldn't have done so and that it was a bad look... but it was also a Fuck You to Trump and to the MAGA GoP so

    Although even that doesn't hold up very well when you see the lengths to which Trump's DOJ will go to fabricate an excuse to prosecute anyone on his enemies list.

    when you think about it maybe it was all about the scam. they were not going to use this stuff. taxpayers money bought all of this. so the money was made the only real purpose was making the money. part 2 of the scam will be bargain basement fire sale every thing has got to go prices.

    "The timeline has been quicker than the other planes in part because the interior was not modified."

    I'm sorry, what?

    We're letting one of the most secure locations in U.S. government be built by a foreign dictatorship without modifying the interior?

    That doesn't set off ANY alarm bells, no sir.

    The real Air Force Ones not only have incredibly sophisticated communications gear, a fully equipped surgical suite and customized meeting rooms, they also are armed to the teeth with defensive mechanisms of the "if we tell you we have to kill you variety." That's why the damn things take so long to build out. I find it hard to believe that the QATAR version has any of that, although it may have a gold-plated crapper. In any case, I fully expect him to claim it for himself when his POTUS time is up. That would be okay with me if he would promise to fly out of the country on it and never come back. I'd even throw in a couple of mid-air refuelings as long as they don't give him enough gas to come back. :brood:

    All the stuff Hunter Biden was accused of is actually being done (and then some) by the Trump Bros and dickless MAGA says not a word. :jayzus:

    I’m sure the first thing FF would do if you unbanned him would be to start a thread denouncing this corruption. And if you believe that, then I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

    MSM lies and I only voted for Trump because because Kennedy dropped out of the race and endorsed him. He had to drop out of the race because you libtards are suddenly against DEI when a ghoul runs for president. Fucking bigoted smoothskins...

    Shocking! #NotShocked

    Crypto Brought Trump a Huge Windfall, Even as Many Investors Lost Big - The New York Times

    A large chunk of the $2 billion haul President Trump took in last year came as hundreds of thousands of his fans and other investors bet on a speculative cryptocurrency called $TRUMP, hoping its value would soar with his return to the White House.

    But while Mr. Trump amassed an eye-popping $636 million from the cryptocurrency, known as a memecoin, many of his followers who heeded his call to purchase the coin came out losers.

    That outcome, documented by an independent analysis of trades and fees paid out from $TRUMP token sales, is drawing renewed attention this week, as Mr. Trump for the first time has detailed the extraordinary $1.4 billion in revenue he secured just from the cryptocurrency industry since he returned to the White House.


    The Key Ways Trump’s Financial Interests Intersect With Government Policy - The New York Times

    When President Trump’s annual financial disclosure was released on Tuesday, it showed that he reaped at least $2.2 billion from his various businesses last year, a singular haul for a president. Many of the gains stemmed from ventures that intersect with his administration, posing unparalleled potential conflicts of interest.

    The White House rejected the idea the president is using his power for his personal benefit. “Neither the president nor his family has ever engaged — or will ever engage — in conflicts of interest,” said Anna Kelly, a White House spokeswoman.

    Here are some of the biggest moneymakers for Mr. Trump and how they could be affected by his administration’s policies:
