It's blatant, out in the open and no-one sees to care?
If the right cares deeply about corruption and tyrannical government, how do you just go along with this kind of thing?

If it's illegal then by all means bring charges.

If you believe this is a left or right thing then I have no response.  if you phrased it as how can our government be so openly blatant about pay to play and both sided getting rich, then i agree its an issue! and has been for a long time.

Now wait...

Are you tellin me that people bought Hunter Biden's finger paintings for any other reason than he's a talented artist?

That a Ukrainian energy firm wanted him on their board for any other reason than he's a brilliant lawyer well versed in energy policy?

I. Am. Shocked.

I do miss the newly old days when the politicians put at least a minimal effort into being discreet about it.

Now they just don't give a tiny shit about being discreet.

Yep. How did a lifelong politician get so rich on less than 200 grand a year.

It is disingenuous at best to be silent during the Obama/Biden Administrations and only now bring up grift.

Disingenuosity aside, isn't that old phrase "Right is right and wrong is wrong" still a term with any meaning? The idea that we give our side a pass is just a cop put IMHO.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but has *either* side led the charge to restrict/outlaw insider trading? No conflict of interest there, nope....

100%... right is right and wrong is wrong regardless of the perpetrator.  

VERY selective finger pointing however is tribal amd it's bs... especially from a resident alien with no real skin innthe game.

Okay so many many posts later and the answer is "but but but, Obama and Biden did it!"

You've got burden of proof, meanwhile Trump and Co are just flat out doing it, and to levels Menendez would have dreamed of

Many posts later, and you're STILL saying Biden didn't do it. Have you not been around long enough to know the right does it in the open, and the left does it behind closed doors? That's like 21st century politics 101, not even being cynical, it's simply how it is.

Somewhat telling who prefers the sneaky crooks, jus sayin'.
