Well VP Biden has done it again, and his son Hunter has jumped right in ...

What have they done..

Hog tied the Trumps.. the entire family.. Hunter said.. okay, it been proven I did nothing wrong, but guess what I can step back.. now Donald.. lets talk about your kids..and VP Joe is going to beat this like a drum!!!!!

The following two things are just the tip of the iceberg of the shenanigans that the Trumpsters kids have been up to..



How did you get all those Chinese trademarks Ivanka and work as an adviser in the White House??..

______________________________________________________________________________________________
Jared Kushner how did you come up with that money for that building while working for the government as an adviser??

The office space in 666 Fifth Avenue is an unlikely candidate for traditional refinancing since it’s probably not worth as much as the mortgage, which exceeds $1 billion. That has forced Jared Kushner and his family to get creative.

Days after the election in “a private dining room of the restaurant La Chine at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Midtown Manhattan” Jared Kushner met with Wu Xiaohui, the chairman of Anbang Insurance Group, a mysterious Chinese company with links to the Chinese government.

A few months later, in March 2017, word of a potential deal between Anbang and the Kushner company leaked. The deal was “unusually favorable” to Kushner. It would have bought out Vornado, provided hundreds of millions in cash to Kushner, paid off most of the mortgage ........

All of this could have been avoided if Hunter had run his foreign plans past the Obama administration and gotten clearance with the ethics people.

(The Obama team would likely have said no -- because even the appearance of a potential conflict of interest is supposed to be avoided -- and that would have been the end of that.)

still isn't the best campaign position to be in.

That feeds the "everyone's corrupt" narrative.

Why Hunter decided to take advantage of the situation without regard for how this would impact his father is beyond me. Any corporate or governmental conflict of interest rules would state that you're supposed to avoid even the appearance of a potential conflict of interest. Hunter didn't.

Biden can't keep taking punches without fighting back. Stop saying you're GONNA beat him like a drum and START beating him like a drum!!! I know some here say our candidates shouldn't stoop to Trump's level, and if things were normal, I'd wholeheartedly agree, but things aren't normal anymore. Things haven't been normal since the Gore-Bush Supreme Court ruling or the swift-boating of John Kerry or the hit-job on Hillary Clinton about emails/Benghazi/the Clinton Foundation... take your pick. Trump will repeat a lie so often that people, both Republicans and sadly members of our own Democratic party, believe it. My thinking is that if Trump continues to attack his son using lies, and he will, then Biden should feel free to mention the Trump children enriching themselves during Trump's presidency. He can do so using the truth and I think he should do so every day. Maybe the media will pick up on the hypocrisy of Trump's rhetoric and start reporting that too, but I won't hold my breath.
