Trump is a as shady as they come, but the hypocrisy and irony isnt lost on me. Rosemont appears to have benefited while Joe was in office, in fact it looks like the legislature being passed was on Joe's way out of the door. Hunter will be a thorn in Joe's side from this point on.
Trump making money privately and feeding his jackal children is one thing. Using the power of office to financially benefit family is another. Trump doesn't want to leverage money at this point. His narcissism needs to be fed flattery and power.
I think Trump has some real dirt on Joe. However, I think there is some weird Freudian s**t going on with Trump. He was always a disgrace to his father, so his idea of getting even is to publically humiliate people, or even better, to ruin them. I find it ironic because I do not see Joe being the last man standing next Spring. I think Warren, Pete, or Bloomberg are all more likely contenders. Bloomberg vs Trump would be epic. I think this Biden s**t is another Trump Ready Fire Aim mission, however politics isn't the goal, humiliation is.
Do you not find it humorous that Trump's go to tactic are insults and bullying. He knows that when people get infuriated with him, they lose control and composure and that is his win. There is truly something wrong with a sitting president that singles out individual Americans.

I am trying to picture how Gym comes home and asks his wife if dinner is ready... does he use a leather strap or a Louisville slugger?

A lot of financial institutions benefited from the bailouts, which began under the previous administration. The bailouts were essential for preventing a literal depression, like it or not.

I don’t give two shts if Biden or his son are investigated for a sound reason beyond conspiracy theories. As was ask and answered in the hearings no one can name one law either domestic or foreign that either one has broken and neither one has a history of criminality. Embarrassingly for the country the same can’t be said for prez Never Truthful. He has lied, cheated, sexually assaulted, grifted, and stolen his entire life and continues to do so as president* while republicans turn a blind eye, shine his shoes, and take turns kissing his ass.

Remember when the Obama team pressured Ukraine to stop investigating his hero, George Soros? Why? Because he was a Hillary (and Obama) donor/supporter. Nahh, who cares about that when we have fantasy time with Lt. General Flounder et al. It was light years more intrusive than any phone call that Trump had with the UKRs. Some familiar names too! Enjoy. (and I want credits for using leftie sources, haha)
US Embassy pressed Ukraine to drop probe of George Soros group during 2016 election
While the 2016 presidential race was raging in America, Ukrainian prosecutors ran into some unexpectedly strong headwinds as they pursued an investigation into the activities of a nonprofit in their homeland known as the Anti-Corruption Action Centre (AntAC).
The focus on AntAC — whose youthful street activists famously wore “Ukraine F*&k Corruption” T-shirts — was part of a larger probe by Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office into whether $4.4 million in U.S. funds to fight corruption inside the former Soviet republic had been improperly diverted.
The prosecutors soon would learn the resistance they faced was blowing directly from the U.S. Embassy in Kiev, where the Obama administration took the rare step of trying to press the Ukrainian government to back off its investigation of both the U.S. aid and the group.
“The investigation into the Anti-Corruption Action Center (sic), based on the assistance they have received from us, is similarly misplaced,” then-embassy Charge d’ Affaires George Kent wrote the prosecutor’s office in April 2016 in a letter that also argued U.S. officials had no concerns about how the U.S. aid had been spent.
At the time, the nation’s prosecutor general had just been fired, under pressure from the United States, and a permanent replacement had not been named.
A few months later, Yuri Lutsenko, widely regarded as a hero in the West for spending two years in prison after fighting Russian aggression in his country, was named prosecutor general and invited to meet new U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch.
Lutsenko told me he was stunned when the ambassador “gave me a list of people whom we should not prosecute.” The list included a founder of the AntAC group and two members of Parliament who vocally supported the group’s anti-corruption reform agenda, according to a source directly familiar with the meeting.
It turns out the group that Ukrainian law enforcement was probing was co-funded by the Obama administration and liberal mega-donor George Soros. And it was collaborating with the FBI agents investigating then-Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort’s business activities with pro-Russian figures in Ukraine.
The implied message to Ukraine’s prosecutors was clear: Don’t target AntAC in the middle of an America presidential election in which Soros was backing Hillary Clinton to succeed another Soros favorite, Barack Obama, Ukrainian officials said.
“We ran right into a buzzsaw and we got bloodied,” a senior Ukrainian official told me.
