"Do you think it was appropriate for your son to be on the board of a Ukrainian company -- and being paid $50,000 a month in that role -- while you were the vice president of the United States?"
That question is
a) fair
b) totally worth asking and
c) something Biden should be required to answer, beyond what he has said publicly so far.
Why?
Because there is very little to suggest that Hunter Biden had anything in his background that would make him an expert on Ukraine, natural gas or Ukraine natural gas. In fact, the only seeming credential he had to be on a board of any sort of company like Burisma was his last name -- and that he shared it with the sitting vice president of the United States.Hunter Biden himself had admitted it was "poor judgment" to be on the board. He did so in an October interview with ABC, adding: "Did I do anything improper? No, not in any way. Not in any way whatsoever."Which is totally fine! Simply being on the board is no evidence of wrongdoing of any sort. But it is odd -- especially a) Hunter's seeming lack of credentials for a role like that and b) the large sum he was reportedly paid for that role.To date, Joe Biden has been reluctant to engage on questions about Hunter. He's been able to do so -- in large part -- because President Donald Trump has said a slew of untrue things about both Bidens. Biden has been able to simply note -- rightly -- that all of Trump's allegations about how Biden forced the removal of Ukraine's top prosecutor in 2016 in order to keep that prosecutor from looking into his son are false.But move the conversation away from Trump's false accusations and ground the conversation in established facts about Hunter's role at Burisma and his compensation in that gig, and it becomes clear that Biden's answers still fall short.Asked by Axios' Mike Allen in an interview that aired Sunday night regarding his defense of his son, Biden said this: "I don't know what he was doing. I know he was on the board. I found out he was on the board after he was on the board and that was it." Pressed by Allen on whether Biden -- as a candidate for president -- was interested in getting to the bottom of how his son got on the Burisma board, the former vice president responded: "No. Because I trust my son."
Really? I mean, I get trusting your son. But Biden's son has already said publicly that being on the board was "poor judgment!" And it's an absolutely worthy question for someone who wants to be president of the United States: Do you think it was a mistake for your son to be on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas company being paid a large sum for it while you are the vice president of the United States?Biden can get angry. He can get up in arms. But he really should get used to answering the question. (CNN)
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to delay sending articles of impeachment to the Senate is not just bad politics for Democrats. It is an affront to the constitutional impeachment process.
Ugye sosem félt semmit se kititterezni. Ahelyett hogy nyomja a szokásos összeesküvés elméleteit, inkább mutatna, hogy o nem cenzúrázik semmi filmet...es sorban töltené fel a twitterere a kanadai PM Trudo Rudi RASSZISTA videóit, kepeit amit a libsi media eltussol!
Az olyan válasz lenne a pitiáner cenzúrára hogy a kanadai TV csak nézne...
mondjuk ebben ugyanolyan hülyeségek vannak mint trump mondataiban.
pl összehasonlítja mennyi madarat nyírnak ki a szélturbinák és mennyit az üvegfalú épületek. 2500x többet az utóbbiak. csakhogy ez az összehasonlítás semmit se jelent ilyen formában, hiszen kéne hozzá az infó hogy mennyi szélturbina és mennyi üvegfalú épület van... tuti hogy felületben sokkal több mint 2500x...
Itt, a németeknél a liberónáci fösodratú hazugságmédiák már kétségbeesetten azon siránkoznak, hogy nincs még a fasorban sem senki, aki Trumpi-t 2020 novemberében az elnökválasztáson le tudná nyomni. Mit is mondjak, elég gyengus a liberónáci dem-eknél a felhozatal.
