Hunter Biden is trending

Due to some gun incident in which the Secret Service supposedly inserted itself. Politico is trying to make it seem shady. If anything, to me it shows that Trump probably tried to use the secret service to find some dirt on the Bidens as it happened around the same time as the Ukraine thing...he was President at the time and Biden nor Hunter were under secret service protection....but politico and the conservative media are acting like the secret service was covering something up for Biden...dumb story that is going to get a lot of play in the right wing echo chamber and bubble....Politico was wrong for writing this

Gee, it’s such a mystery - the Secret Service would not have any involvement at the time, they have no record of it, & only Glenn Beck’s site has spoken to it, but, hey, let’s include in our reporting

The usual suspects (Posobiec, Loesch, etc.) are spamming Twitter with their bullshit. I'll be surprised if this doesn't wind up in the same black hole as his alleged lap top. They are so fucking desperate to smear Joe with something. Or else it's a distraction. Must be something really bad about to come out regarding their Dear Leader or one of his rancid spawn.

And lying on a federal document is a felony, though rarely prosecuted in background check cases.

I forget, how concerned was the right wing echo chamber about that again?

Oh...they gave zero fucks?
Well, there you have it. Precedent demands that we likewise give a same number of fucks...ZERO.

He has been sober long enough that his answer is correct.

Because you would rather stick your head in the sand and be oblivious to the right wing propaganda machine instead of taking them on

I really don't think he'd be that stupid. I think this is more bullshit to try distracting from the excellent job his Dad is doing.

Most likely far less sinister than the shitbag righties are trying to make it out to be. Maybe she just didn't want the damn thing in the house. I'm thinking she had been telling him to get rid of it, he didn't, and she got pissed off and tossed it.
