If Biden broke the law and it looks like he did on multiple occassions, impeach will have to begin immediately.

Broke which laws?

Did Biden create a shadow diplomacy with a foreign country in order to benefit himself? No...but Trump did.

Let's see: his son got hooked up with 2 different jobs, in two countries, for two different companies, with zero experience.

Sounds like he did. Huh?

There hss to be an indepth investigation to see how much money Biden received from his son's two jobs and his brother's billion dollar contract with the government.

Easily explainable to anybody that is an adult. Guess you don't qualify.

Bribery, extortion, ethics laws. But that matter, now, because according to the Democrats, a president can be impeached for any ol' reason the House dreams up.

Any evidence of the? You seem to only have evidence that the kids got jobs.

Sure it is: it's called bribery, emoluments violations, impropriety, extortion. Hell, alls they really need is to be pissed off about the election results.

That is the evidence. Not to worry. An impeachment vote doesn't require evidence, now.

Ah, thats the evidence. OK Thanks for that. Glad we got all the way down to that defining moment. I have a couple of SERIOUS discussions going at the forum at the moment. So I will exit now and pay attention to those.

Actually, Hunter Biden had a lot of experience....


"KIEV (Reuters) - During his time on the board of one of Ukraine’s largest natural gas companies, Hunter Biden, the son of former U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden, was regarded as a helpful non-executive director with a powerful name, according to people familiar with Biden’s role at the company....

Biden, a trained lawyer, had served on the board of a U.S. company and had also formed an investment firm with fellow Yale graduates Archer and Christopher Heinz, the stepson of former U.S. Senator John Kerry.

Interviews with more than a dozen people, including executives and former prosecutors in Ukraine, paint a picture of a director who provided advice on legal issues, corporate finance and strategy during a five-year term on the board, which ended in April of this year....

According to four sources close to the company, Biden regularly attended Burisma’s twice annual board meetings – all of which were held outside of Ukraine.

A source close to the company said Biden took part in strategic conversations and shared his opinions and experience. In between board meetings, “there were constant calls, dialogue, sharing of advice, consideration of different options,” the source said. “Expansion to other markets was also discussed,” the source added.

Another source close to Burisma said Biden assisted with analysis of oil and gas assets the company was considering buying abroad, though a deal didn’t go through. The company was considering possible acquisitions in Europe, Kazakhstan and the United States, the source and another person close to Burisma said.

Both sources said that around the time Biden was appointed, Burisma was also looking to secure a financing deal with foreign investment funds, including one in the United States.

Biden helped to find lawyers to work on this process, before it broke down due to the start of the war in east Ukraine, one of those two sources said. “He was a ceremonial figure,” that person added...."

Hunter had zero experience in the oil and gas business. And the U.S. company whose board he served on, was Amtrac...lol. The same Amtrac that loses three times more revenue than it generates...lol

He had legal and strategy consulting experience which came in handy for deal negotiations and expanding operations.

Amtrac is a government service not a profit oriented entity....and they don't lose three times more than they take in. Far from it.

How many dozens of Clinton associates and enemies have to die by 'suicide', or 'botched robbery' before we realize something ain't quite right with the Hillbilly Royalty from Arkansas?

As for the woman who accused Trump of raping her when she was 13, she dropped her lawsuit, and was being represented by a producer of the Jerry Springer show. Rumor has it that the producer had a change of heart about Trump after our embassy was moved to Jerusalem, 'where it roitly beloings!'

Both of you have obviously never ridden Amtrak. You've never experienced the joy of 3 hour delays, or being stranded in snow covered mountains like I did. Lol, just teasing you.

Looks like I'll be finding out soon enough as I plan to take a short trip to Grand Junction, Co. It'll be my first ride on Amtrak. Although, I have heard is kinda of boring.

In my experience, riding the train can be a lot of fun on short trips. I met a lot of cool people doing that. It does get boring on the longer trips. Several years ago I took Amtrak from the Bay Area to Seattle, and made the mistake of booking a coach seat. The train was sold out, lost its air circulation somewhere in Oregon, and someone decided to clog all the toilets. We got stranded in the mountains for 4 hours from a mechanical failure, and being as this was late December, it started getting a bit chilly on our dysfunctional train. People began getting drunk just to deal with it, and so the train ended up being full of drunk adults and screaming children. I kept thinking to myself that I could have flown from SFO to Seattle in an hour and a half, rather than wasting 24 hours riding the train.

Oh one more interesting thing happened; while picking up new passengers in Klamath Falls, the train conductor decided to start moving the trains wheels before all the passengers were on board and the doors were closed. Some miscommunication between the staff and the engine car. They'd removed the little step ladder that people use to climb on board from the pavement to the first deck, which was where I was standing. Myself and several others helped to pull a very old man carrying a cane through the door as the train was accelerating, and he was losing his balance trying to make it up the 2-3 feet from the ground to the train. He's literally falling out of the train as its leaving, so 4-5 of us grab on to his arms and jacket, and hoist him inside.

Sounds delightful. lol

I had a similar thing happen to me getting on a bus. I had one leg on the step to get on and the bus driver closed the door and started moving. So there I am hopping along on one leg outside the bus until finally the bus driver noticed me. I remember she was horrified and felt real bad...and I was just glad to still be in one piece.

Lol, that tops my story. The bus driver who closed the door on your leg sounds mildly retarded.
