    but it seems it may actually be a liability sometimes, isn't it?

    It all stinks of corruption to me. BIG TIME

    If you have any proof whatsoever, by all means post it.

    Then ask yourself why this supposed corruption wasn't investigated much earlier when repubs had a majority in Congress and held the WH.

    Yes, I'm going to keep the explanation in my sig indefinitely so people don't get the wrong idea that I'd ever support a toadie like Chris Christie.

    Sure did.

    "As an impeachment inquiry into U.S. President Donald Trump’s actions commenced in October 2019, so did partisan invocations of whataboutism — a logical fallacy that involves “a reversal of accusation, arguing that an opponent is guilty of an offense just as egregious or worse than what the original party was accused of doing, however unconnected the offenses may be.”

    One example of such was a video clip posted to C-SPAN’s website on Sept. 21, 2019 under the title “Joe Biden Confesses to Bribery.” The video was accompanied by a caption reading “Former Vice President Joe Biden confesses to being in charge of Ukraine for the Obama Administration, and withholding $1 billion in loan guarantees from the USA to force Ukraine to fire prosecutor who was looking into the company that Hunter Biden was receiving $83,000+ PER MONTH from”:



    The user-created clip fostered a false impression by pairing a misleading caption with an excerpt from a much longer video with no context. (The video carries a statement from C-SPAN noting that “This clip, title, and description were not created by C-SPAN.”)

    over a decade ago a Republican president thought H Biden was qualified for a corporate board

    Hey, Don.

    Still your same delightful self, I see.

    I hope a few people missed me when I came to mind...but I expect most were busy dealing with the abomination's antics.

    The entire thing is on Youtube. Stop pretending that all you have is a clip so you can claim that it was doctored or taken out of context lol.
