The "Biden Family Corruption" mega-thread

[P1tchblack]

I expect DeSantis versus Newsom to be similar to the Sean hannity interview with Newsom. People tend to think that their side is the truth while the other side are a bunch of evil liars.  Newsom and DeSantis are both smart guys. I see very little chance that either one comes out as the obvious winner.

RDS needs to have himself a MASSIVE performance tonight.

He has the facts on his side, but will he have any amount of charisma or stage presence?

I fully expect Newsom to just gaslight the entire night, avoid hard questions and essentially use RDS covid record as his own.

If there is one thing DeSantis is, it’s stiff
I hope he tries to use his Covid record, and that DeSantis shoves it down his throat!

Well over half the businesses in my town that had to close have just not returned

Something tells me Newsom cooks him tonight...not on their record, but their ability to show. RDS has the record to smash Gavin, but can he show it head to head?

I don't see any lane for RDS to pass Trump, but his performance tonight could shape the rest of his political career.

$hit for brains if you are think Newsome is right on anything. Then again, this is the Democratic party we’re talking about.

Pitch is a retarded f@ggot, no doubt. Sh*t for brains would be an improvement for him.

Newsom is wrong on almost everything, and has an awful track record, but the dude plays for a camera. He is performing for those with a real mind, he's working for the smooth brain vote.

Unless RDS floors Newsome with some amazing something, Desantis is in a no win situation.  Newsome  does not need to tell the truth at all. If RDS say's "businesses left Ca for Fla" all Newsome will do is say"nah ah more people left Fla to come to Ca" and create the sound bite.  The viewers who watch FO will get the fact check. The viewers who don't watch FOX will get the "slam dunk" from the other  outlet with 0 fact checks.

In short RDS telling the truth maybe more boring  than Newsome telling lies with style ala Obozzo

It will be all emotion, lies and deflecting from Newsome. Rational thoughts will be hard to find like they always are with commie marxists.

Your first three words would have sufficed.

I only watched about 30 min, but it went pretty much as expected.  RDS had some good moments, but no knockout blows

No discussion of Hunter's felony indictment?

Hunter Biden Indicted on Tax Charges
New case adds to legal peril as his father campaigns for re-election

(CNN)—Hunter Biden has been charged in connection with a long-running Justice Department investigation into his taxes – the second criminal case that special counsel David Weiss has brought against President Joe Biden’s son.

The charges span nine counts, including failure to file and pay taxes; evasion of assessment; and false or fraudulent tax return. CNN was first to report a new criminal case had been filed.

According to the special counsel’s team, Hunter Biden “engaged in a four-year scheme to not pay at least $1.4 million” in taxes that he owed from 2016 through 2019. Though Hunter Biden did eventually pay his taxes from 2018, prosecutors allege that he included “false business deductions in order to evade assessment of taxes to reduce the substantial tax liabilities he faced.”

Prosecutors also allege in the 56-page indictment that he “subverted the payroll and tax withholding process of his own company” by withdrawing millions of dollars outside of its payroll and tax withholding process.


The president’s son “spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle rather than paying his tax bills,” according to the indictment, which states that “between 2016 and October 15, 2020, the Defendant spent this money on drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes.”

The indictment also referenced Hunter Biden’s 2021 memoir, “Beautiful Things,” in which he detailed some of his personal struggles with addiction and substance abuse. He was paid more than $140,000 related to the book from January through October 15, 2020, according to the indictment.

Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, said in a statement that “based on the facts and the law, if Hunter’s last name was anything other than Biden, the charges in Delaware, and now California, would not have been brought.”

“First, U.S. Attorney Weiss bowed to Republican pressure to file unprecedented and unconstitutional gun charges to renege on a non-prosecution resolution. Now, after five years of investigating with no new evidence – and two years after Hunter paid his taxes in full – the U.S. Attorney has piled on nine new charges when he had agreed just months ago to resolve this matter with a pair of misdemeanors,” he continued.

Lowell had sent a letter to Weiss on Tuesday asking to speak with prosecutors “before any additional charging decisions are made.” He said in his Thursday statement that the “customary meeting to discuss this investigation” did not occur.

Yeah, no kidding. What a worthless response. He's such an awful poster.
