The president's dipshit son-in-law managing the Coronavirus response isn't a scandal, but the Vice President's son sitting on a Ukrainian company's board is the end of the world.

Imagine if Hillary had Chelsea's husband managing a pandemic. Every cultist here would have an aneurysm.

Maybe he will chant "lock her up" some more for the dipshits and its gonna be cool.

Trying not to be bitter about this but struggling today.

Its such a slap in the face. We deserve better.

You are basically the guy who defended the catholic church way too long against pedophilia. Its funny you bring up the doll :D



I think, in this, you have me confused with somebody else.

1. I'm an atheist.
2. I don't defend any churches.
3. Maybe you're thinking about when I defended Roy Moore?

The key difference is that Hunter Biden was enriching himself by sitting on the board of the company which was dependent on the geopolitical decisions made by his father, while Jared Kushner wont get rich by his involvement with the coronavirus taskforce.

From a competence and qualification perspective, there's plenty of reason to criticize Kushner's involvement. But it's not a wealth grab.

I think....this is just somewhat of an unclear statement.

I think he's trying to say: Thew federal stockpile is for the fed to decide how to use, not for the states to decide.

...the States ofc, being biased in their own favor.

ah.. but trump family corporation intermixed with WH business are perfectly fine.
those two (his wife, dad's dream date) made 128 mill while working in the WH last year..
I'm sure it's all just fine.
I don't even care or defend Biden. If he's guilty lock him in jail. But feel the same way with the trump family crime ring

I'll take the normal everyday corruption of Washington over the president installing incompetent, unqualified family members to handle pandemics. It's really not a tough choice, is it?

Also, obviously I was pointing out the selective outrage of the right. Both situations are not ideal.

No. Again: I agree that Kushner should not be anywhere near the coronavirus decision-making.
Your initial comparison between the two situations was still flawed.

There is a ton of selective outrage on both sides. Including on the right, I'll admit that.
