This is just straight up ridiculous.
Take Hunter Biden, and his experience in politics and international diplomacy. Which is zero.
Put him in an office in the West Wing.
When he inevitably fails his security clearances because of his mess of foreign financial entanglements and shady individuals who he owes money to, just have big Joe override that because who gives a shit, he's the bosses son.
Make sure that he repeatedly lies on his vetting forms, and extra points if he identifies himself as a woman on one of them.
Give him all sorts of made-up titles with authority ranging over the entirety of the federal government - including the federal covid response - and have him run all the big meetings even though he has no experience in anything.
Let Hunter Biden be WhatsApp friends with MBS, and have them conduct US-Saudi diplomacy personally, via secret messages to each other outside all official channels, that no other American official can read or see what's being discussed.
Make sure that Hunter routinely undermines, sidelines and publicly humiliates the Chief of Staff, as well as the Secretary of State.
Of course, he will never actually speak in public.
Do all that for Hunter Biden.
What do we have now? What does this new career move for Hunter remind you of? And how would you react if Joe Biden actually did all this for Hunter - for real? Be honest now. ?

Oh yeah,
@Filthy - if that's too long for ya, just have a crack at answering this.
Since he's "at least" as corrupt as Trump - what do you reckon are the chances that Biden would ever, ever, meet with Putin 1 on 1 for a couple of hours, with no other American officials present, and then confiscate and destroy the interpreter's notes?
Do you see that this or anything like it would ever happen at any point in Biden's career?

That camp is in Mexico.
Not surprised.
Partisan hacks.
I haven't watched much of it but from what I have seen she appears to be solid.
exactly. a lot of partisan shit going on here. like Hannity or Tucker asking for her LSATs. thats a little nod to their racist viewers like "hey, she probably only got in due to affirmative action. and same thing with her placement on the court"
did they care about Trumps SAT scores for UPenn? nah
and did they mention that she was the editor of the Harvard Law REview (which suggests she was the top law student at the time) ... nah
one concern:
i have a concern though. the fact that Biden nominated her, and the fact that corrupt democrats and republicans are going to pass her suggests that she is pro-corporate over people
but with that said, i follow people (like TYT) who are trying to figure out her record, and so far, no bad signals
It's really pissing the repubs off that she hasn't taken the bait any time that they're asking about policy making or political topics. Basically saying "I don't want to get political because my job is to be objective. My job is to apply the laws that congress makes, not to write them.
She's 100% correct.
Our process for these appointments is ridiculous. Multiple days of political grandstanding and pathetic attempts of "gotcha" questions, only to result with 99% of the elected hacks following their party line.
The real question is do you think she actually believes that or did she rehearse it for the hearing like Conor used to do before press conferences?
All the questions are always painfully predictable.
Remember the Kavanaugh clown show? This is no different, we're just flipping sides on who can be indignant about the proceedings.
how long has Joe Biden been corrupt in politics?Oh yeah,

Yes, I can totally see Biden destroying official records or transcripts, and I can see Biden having "off the record" conversations with foreign leaders about how they can circumvent the law or mold public opinion in service of their interests.

No way. There's no chance he'd do something like have his son be on the board of a natural gas company in a country he doesn't speak the language in just after overthrowing that country's government.
