How did he get that cushy job to begin with?
shareMakes you wonder how Ivanka got the cushy job as Senior Adviser in the White House, and Foreign Diplomat, doesn't it?
shareIt's only obvious how she got the job, nor is it relevant to the question asked. How did he get that cushy job, pray tell?
shareHunter's job has nothing to do with corruption, though. If it did - Republicans would've pulled that out of the hat a long time ago.
shareIt has nothing to do with corruption...because you say so? Where's the proof? Ignorant much?
shareNothing at all no matter how the republicans want to spin this.
If you’re accusing him of being part of corruption to get the job, where’s the proof?
We start with how did he get that cushy job? Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
shareAgain, that's not proof - that's a spin. Too bad you can't get past that.
shareSo you don't question how he got that job at all? You don't question any impropriety?
So then what do you tell your komrade Jacob that admits he got the job due to Biden's INFLUENCE? What do you say when Hunter said he got the job due to his name? How is that spin if one of your komrades admits to it and Hunter admits to it? That's a admission from the horse's mouth.
I know you're Ignorant. Everybody here know's you're Ignorant. We know you have to be to promote your Orange Man Bad narrative. You're just an NPC with ZERO INDEPENDENT THOUGHT. You're not allowed it even when facts that contradict your narrative surface you are bound by your Ignorance and of course, Ignorance is Strength.
It's dipshits like you and the other komrades here truly hold America back. You constantly bitch and moan asking for government handouts while bitching and moaning about the deficit at the same time. You bitch and moan all within the confines of Ignorance. Truly despicable and shameless. You all have such wretched souls.
Apparently those "facts" are held by Viktor Shokin who communicates with Giuliani and Giuliani's henchmen but won't talk to anyone else.
Giuliani, Parnas and Fruman were all working on this "investigation" into Biden quietly but as of yet have not provided any results of their efforts.
It would appear this "investigation" into Biden has been severely interrupted by the indictment of Parnas. With Parnas now facing real time behind bars, his lawyer is claiming Parnas has evidence of Trump/Giuliani's entire quid pro quo scheme to smear Biden. Parnas also gave out some details about his helping Nunes to undermine the Mueller investigation which was also looking into Russian interference of 2016.
We'll have to wait to see how that unfolds, but as of right now there seems to be some communication coming from Parnas, yet still jack shit coming from Shokin.
So yeah, it's damn strange that all of Trump's talking points are hinging on what Shokin knows, yet Trump's "team" distances themselves from it by playing the game that the impeachment is just a farce, rather than have Shokin talk publicly about what he knows. Very strange indeed.
This is the real witch hunt!
shareThe "investigation" into Biden certainly is looking like it, yes.
It's not working out for Nunes either. He's in the midst of getting caught as a player in Parnas' net of Russian influence, all while Nunes has been involved in every hearing (hearings repubs claimed they had no access to) and throughout it all he has continued to point the finger at Ukraine while ignoring Russian elephant in the room.
For the longest time I've been scratching my head wondering why Nunes so willingly goes to bat for Trump. Now I believe we are on the verge of finding out.
How?
shareWhat "facts" are you talking about?
Just answer the simple question of how Hunter got the job as a board of director.
Hunter got the job from name recognition. It's nepotism but nepotism isn't illegal. Trump's kids are foreign policy advisors. Giuliani and Barr got their kids white house positions the first week they got on the job.
Also, Burisma is a for-profit company and a capitalistic venture. If they feel having a Biden on the board is good for business, they are allowed to do it. Just like Don Jr took over the Trump org at 21 despite being nowhere the best qualified to run it.

Yr father taught you well Eric. bravo!
Last I heard “talk to Rudy” Giuliani is still looking for dirt on the Bidens.
If nepotism is a crime, lock Trump up too.
shareIs someone from Burisma related to Biden? Is that how Hunter got the job? Pray tell?
shareHow daft are you?
The claim is that Biden's connections got his son his job. (true, I'm pretty sure).
So you agree that Biden pulled strings to get his son that job, yes? You do know that that isn't nepotism, yes?
sharenep·o·tism
/ˈnepəˌtizəm/
noun
the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs.
I'm not getting into one of these arguments with you again.
Biden used his INFLUENCE to get his RELATIVE a job, yes. You don't have to be the one literally doing the hiring for this to qualify as NEPOTISM.
That is all.
I don't know where you got your definition from, but it's wrong.
: favoritism (as in appointment to a job) based on kinship
Nepotism and cronyism are different. If you said cronyism, I would've agreed with you.
So when he used his INFLUENCE, what is the source of Biden's INFLUENCE?
Sigh. Okay, I'll break my promise. God knows I should know better by now.
See those words "as in". That indicates that it's an example. "As in an appointment to a job" is an example of "favoritism based on kinship".
Hunter Biden benefited from "favoritism based on kinship". Daddy pulled some strings.
Okay, well and truly, no more.
Where's the answer to my question????
shareHellooooooo???? Answer the question pray tell.
shareBurisma felt having a Biden on the board would be good for business as it boosts their PR value. That's really all there is to it.
Going after Burisma for hiring Hunter is like going after The View for hiring Meghan McCain.
Good for business how? Boost PR value how?
You analogy makes no sense. Pray elaborate.
I'm going to ask you the same question I asked Jacob.
What is the source of Biden's INFLUENCE?
Joe Biden was well respected by the free world. If your company has a Biden on your board, it's probably going to open up opportunities to attract more investors.
shareJust like having someone with the Trump name would attract some attention.
It doesn't hurt to know people who know people either. I'm sure Joe put in a good word for his son.
There's no evidence that the oil company received favorable treatment from Biden (not sure what he could have done for them as vice president anyway, other than maybe help them make some contacts).
Attention for what?
Putting a good word is one thing. Hiring a person with no experience is another. This explains nothing.
Contacts from what? Again, what is the source of Biden's INFLUENCE?
The same sort of connections that got Cheney hired by Halliburton.
Or that got George W. Bush his cushy spot in the national guard during Vietnam and the jobs he got later before running for office.
The same sort of connections that got Cheney hired by Halilburton? And it was wrong to have Halilburton work to clean up Iraq, yes?
How stupid are both of you to bitch about a republican, but completely turn a blind eye for a dem? It's as clear as an azure sky! You both are such HYPOCRITES. Ignorance is Strength!
You admit that Hunter Biden got the job due to his dad. Why? Because of his INFLUENCE. When I ask what the source is, you dance, dodge and duck the question. Why? Because the source of his influence is THE WHITE HOUSE. Thus, an ABUSE OF POWER for PERSONAL GAIN. You know what's that called? A QUID PRO QUO!
Backed into a corner you know he's corrupt and yet you feign Ignorance. Both of you are nothing but PHONIES. Talk about an HONEST DISCUSSION? You're not even honest to yourself.
Is that "victory" for me, dumbshits? Dunce cap, remember?! Phony fucks. The both of you.
They are all part of the same hypocrisy.
shareBoth of you idiots got rekt, but that's not the point.
The point is your omission is your admission.
Ignorance is Strength. Proven and on display.
Orange Man Bad. Proven and on display.
Indoctrinated groupthink. Proven and on display.
I'm sure all of your komrades are proud of your strong display of Ignorance.🙈🙉🙊
Biden is going to attract more investors? Why? Because of his INFLUENCE? Biden is no Larry Ellison or Warren Buffett. What is the source of his INFLUENCE?
