One can be inept and have decades of enriching a family through sold access while being way too old and likely wearing a diaper. Easily plausible.

Also, the idea that Dems regulate themself into a corner and/or don’t know how to build anything isn’t a new concept.

My favorite example-

Dan McNamara, a project manager for SNCF, told the Times after recommendations made by the company were ignored by the state the company decided to pull out.

"There were so many things that went wrong," McNamara told the Times. "SNCF was very angry. They told the state they were leaving for North Africa, which was less politically dysfunctional."
The Biden's have to be one of the worst political families ever for enriching themselves. Joe has been in DC for decades and still isn't even anymore more rich than law firm senior partner.

Yeah the Democrats are fucking horrible at governing. They don't lean into anything and try to "bi-partisan" their way into policy wins. But it will never work. And then they're surprised when they lose support. Terrible messaging terrible governing.

I mean Joe Biden's net worth is officially $10M.
That doesn't take into account the $20M (that we know about) that the Biden family received from foreign nationals for fake business ventures

Officially? If we're going to accept the $10M figure then look at the list below. Joe wouldn't even crack the top 50 from 2018. It is so ridiculous to even say that he's some sort of criminal mastermind when he can't even get in the top 50 of wealthiest people in US congress for as long as he's been there. The straw grasping is incredible, if he's taken illegal bribes throw him in jail, but to say he's some sort of financial mob boss wizard is insane lmao.

I don't think anyone has accused Biden of being a mastermind, but you don't have to be to reap some rewards. Some do it better than others. Hasn't most of this stuff come up since Hunter got sober?

I've seen mentions of him being a mob boss on here and mentions of the Biden crime family. Would you say the Biden's are a crime family yes or no?

Take Chuck Grassley for example, in 2017 it was estimated he was worth $17M. He's older than dirt and has only worked in DC. Maybe he's done some typical corrupt stuff but I wouldn't say the Grassley family is a crime family. If Biden has truly enriched himself he would have to be a mastermind to hide the funds from everyone. If it does come out that he has hidden the funds throughout different entities then yes he should be held accountable.

Probably has come up because he decided to run for president moreso than Hunter being sober?

Virtually every politician who goes to DC enriches themselves significantly in the process.

Bargain land deals and crazy stock returns as a result of inside information are the norm.

A reminder that the president has not given a personal address on any of this to restore the soul of our nation or lower the temperature. The current president, who said he ran because of Charlottesville, suddenly can't find it in him to speak out against Charlottesville happening every weekend during his own presidency.He needs the few thousand votes in Michigan because that's how close he's running with (checks notes)... Donald Trump.





This is why they look like far-left lunatics.

Also, never forget that the leftist media tried to ruin the rest of Nick Sandman's life because he smiled as a native american protester jumped in his face, and they have zero problem with this happening 3x a week for the past two months all around the country.

LMAO life ruined.
I mean, yeah. Grown ass adults at CNN saying this child had a punchable face, US Senators branding him a hateful racist, and many in the leftist media cheering on his doxxing. If you don't see how publicly tarring and feathering a child in a dishonest way could ruin his life and impact his future, I don't know what to tell you

lol the irony is palatable. He got his huge settlement and is celebrated by every MAGA chud for life. Speaking of dishonesty, I’m sure you’ll be calling for libsoftiktok to deplatformed right? Surely all the doxxing and hospitals getting bomb threats because of them will strike a chord in your righteous battle.

The kid getting a bag from the liberal media for their libel doesn't underscore the evil of what they tried to do to him.

And yeah I agree that libsoftiktok and her following are generally pretty irresponsible in what they post and say. Obviously those who make the bomb threats should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. In cases where there is actual defamation in play, then sure she should be held legally accountable for it. I think that it is reasonable that major media corporations should be held to a higher standard than individuals on the internet that do little more than repost information that people themselves have on their social media

Libsoftiktok has only shared other people's content. They've amplified left-wing voices. Comparing this to synchronized media attacks on a teenager for standing at a protest is nuts.

For example-
All they did here is share Joe Biden's staff's tweets. No different than they would if a Trump staffer had some extreme views or one of those "MAGA Battle Flags" outside his or her house.


No address, no call to scream at them while they are at the gas station or in the restaurant. Just sharing a photo of Biden's team.


This is just sharing the views of leftists. Unlike that liberal crazy woman at WaPo who actually doxxed the libsoftiktok lady, they aren't doxxing here.

I would strongly disagree on "evil".

They were obviously held to a higher standard when Sandman received a huge payout from them. LibsOfTikTok has been behind 40+ bomb threats to Planet Fitness gyms...no payouts there. One would say bomb threats are more evil.

You literally have called for protestors to be run over. You are nuts lmao. You want kids on campuses run over or "dealt with" over protests. Save the crocodile tears on another kid gifted a great career in the right wing emotional outrage market.

In every major US city in recent months, we see examples of anti Israel "protestors" verbally and physically abusing Jews with no remorse and seemingly no fear of consequences.

The way Biden, the Dems and even some on here constantly scream white supremacy, you'd think the perpetrators had swastikas or MAGA hats on in these acts of violence. Nope.

Do you think that politicians and the media have emboldened left wing protestors over the past 4 years or so? 🤔

1- LibsoTikTok didn't threaten to bomb anyone. If they did, prosecute them. All they have done is shine a light on what exists in this country. Something that has a market because the conventional media and information sources do not acknowledge it. Do you think CNN was going to point out the insane commentary and lifestyle of Biden's new comms director?

2- Don't block the highway. Don't care what your cause is. It puts people in incredibly unsafe conditions. It has led to many people being assaulted in their vehicles. It has led to delays in emergency vehicles. Also, I support self-defense. It's not my burden to have to put my car and occupants in danger because some shitheads in purple hair who are pissed over online left-wing rhetoric (irony to the above) have driven the Gays for Gaza or BLM loons out to put us in danger. Hell no.

People have a right to protest. If you are aligned with the current regime, you are allowed property damage and destruction. Prosecution is rare. If you are opposed to the current regime, they will hunt you down and prosecute you. This is a fact. Universities, much like the LAPD this past weekend, allowed protests to put Jewish students in unsafe conditions and didn't take sufficient action. I recognize many on the left hate the Jews, so this may not bother you or the administration. Police still have a job to do, even in cities where they are demonized and underfunded.

Do you think that purposefully misreporting the news to make an innocent 16 year old appear a vile racist because you don't like that he's a white catholic that will vote differently than you in the future is an evil thing to do? What word would you use to describe it?

That's a whole lot of assumptions. You think CNN is anti-white/catholic and forward thinking to be spiteful over the potential of some kid voting differently?

Take a step back lol.

Taking a kid out of context and painting him as a villain one time is journalistic laziness maybe. A repeated pattern of misrepresenting the facts to paint someone as evil is malice. Same could be said of Fox News.

Stephen needs to find a hobby.
Stephen Miller (not the white supremacist former Trump staffer) is up there with J Turely for most honest truth teller! Just always able to identify all the misdoings of the media just always seems to be anyone to the Left of David Duke though!
