Yes, because Trump's family making millions off of Saudi Arabia and then doing a 180 on his platform and doing a big arms deal with them is normal, and definitely not an example of personal bribes for access. Nope, nothing Trump has ever done even has the appearance of corruption.


The insight just isn't there.

I'm just glad everybody realizes it.

This is Cam 2.0, where I point out the obvious bullshit for literal years and it takes years for everybody else to realize it lol.

Now, I think I'm probably one of the few people on this forum who is generally okay with this sort of stuff. To me, the most important thing with this type of "corruption" is that Congress knows about it and that we keep track of the visits.

I mean, he used to post substantive things. He really went down the alt-right rabbit hole though and it's just scary how this can affect people. What likely started out as curiosity devolved into a cult like adherence.

His schtick has always been the same. Post a lot of detail while leaving out the ones that obviously contradict the narrative he's building, and make sure there's enough BS with tenuous links that it would take your whole day to debunk every one so he looks like the victor.

He hasn't changed his posting in substance or style, it's just that he now has to defend the indefensible so it's obvious.

You've been an anti-intellectual troll who has sworn off making arguments for literal years. Don't get it twisted with some delusional self-important retelling of history.
You are the forum mosquito.

How this thread is going:

Goom posts an article, then provides his own summary.
Everybody takes it at face value. Cultists express outrage. Others boil it down to standard corruption or something else.

And I look through the articles and find something quite different than Goom's summary. For instance:

more emails showing corruption

Hunter Biden arranged meetings for Mexico airline CEO Miguel Magnani to visit the white house and meet Obama + Biden.
In return, Magnani "gifted" Hunter Biden artwork and a stay at his resort villa.
A pretty simple and direct quid pro quo for access to the white house.
Hunter sent an email to Magnani complaining that even though he "delivered on every single thing he ever asked", Magnani was ghosting him and not responding. Guess he didn't get as much as he wanted.


The article you posted doesn't make these claims. You're making assumptions that aren't backed by solid evidence in order to make this look worse.

And the article already went through the conservatard filter. Imagine what a comprehensive and neutral synopsis would be!

ah that was actually just me misreading the email
https://thenationalpulse.com/exclusive/biden-leveraged-meetings-for-art-vacations-and-more/
to amend that, he said:
"...I have brought every single person you have ever asked me to bring to the F'ing WHite House and the Vice President's house and the inauguration..."
take the "Obama" out of that, of course, they might have still met with Obama but we don't know
but I think that's plenty to state he met with Joe

The alliance between the United States and the Sauds has lasted a century. The United States agreeing to fund Saudi Arabia is something that has happened under virtually every administration.

This just a terrible take. Trump and Chinese patents is at least a story, if several orders of magnitude less interesting than Biden receiving millions in Chinese bribes.
