    Lawyers with known (serious) illicit drug abuse problems tend to have trouble getting jobs on corporate Boards, especially when they have recently been publicly discharged from an organization like the US Navy for abusing cocaine? (What's a lawyer doing in the US Navy, anyway ? Sailing about on Destroyers is not what lawyers typically tend to do - IS IT ?) Secondly, US lawyers who work on foreign Corporate Boards like "Burisma" need to have a good knowledge, not only of International and Corporate law (and I'd wager London to a brick, Hunter Biden had no such specialist legal expertise whatsoever) but also a good knowledge and experience of the of "nuts and bolts" of the Board's business interests. In the case of an energy company like "Burisma", for example, that would include what basic engineering and technical operations are involved, and what important issues are associated with them, and so on. In short, ALL lawyers who work on Corporate Boards need to have a good (specialist) knowledge and good experience, not just of Corporate law, but of how the kind of business their Board supervises - be it electricity, coal mining, publishing, insurance, equity, futures, etc. - actually works. Also, I wonder if Hunter could speak Ukrainian ? I DOUBT IT !

    Yep waking each morning sure beats the alternative, aches and pains and all. Nice to see you back things here are about the same arguing over the same old things. But it is a fun way to spend the morning.

    The founders gave us a grossly inefficient form of government.
    We are among the world's oldest still existing democracies if not the oldest.
    The newer ones are clearly more modern, and we're too socially regressive to change and improve.

    Early positions, 1996–2009
    After graduating from law school, Biden took a position at MBNA America, a major bank holding company which was also a major contributor to his father's political campaigns.[9] By 1998, he had risen to the rank of executive vice president.[9][14] From 1998 to 2001, he served in the United States Department of Commerce, focusing on ecommerce policy.[15] Biden became a lobbyist in 2001, co-founding the firm of Oldaker, Biden & Belair.[16] According to Adam Entous of The New Yorker, Biden and his father established a relationship in which "Biden wouldn't ask Hunter about his lobbying clients, and Hunter wouldn't tell his father about them."[9] In 2006, Biden and his uncle, James Biden, attempted to buy Paradigm, a hedge-fund group, but the deal fell apart before completion.[9] That same year he was appointed by President George W. Bush to a five year term on the board of directors of Amtrak.[17] He was a board member from July 2006 until he resigned in February 2009[18] and the board's vice chairman from July 2006 to January 2009,[19] leaving both roles shortly after his father became vice president. He had realized during his father's vice presidential campaign that it was time for his lobbying activities to end.[9]
    Later career, 2009–present
    In 2009 Biden, along with Devon Archer and John Kerry's stepson Christopher Heinz, founded the investment firm Rosemont Seneca.[16]
    He also joined the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner LLP,[9] and founded Eudora Global, a venture capital firm.[13]
    U.S. Navy Reserve
    In May 2013, Biden's application for a limited duty position in the U.S. Navy Reserve was approved.[20] He received an age-related waiver and a waiver due to a past drug-related incident, and was sworn in as a direct commission officer.[20] Joe Biden administered his commissioning oath in a White House ceremony.[9]
    The following month, Biden tested positive for cocaine during a urinalysis test and was subsequently discharged.[21] Biden attributed the result to smoking cigarettes he had bummed off of strangers, only later suspecting they had been laced with the drug.[9] He chose not to appeal the matter as it was unlikely that the panel would believe his explanation given his history with drugs, and also due to the likelihood of news leaking to the press, though it was ultimately revealed to The Wall Street Journal by a Navy official who provided information to the newspaper on condition of anonymity.[9][20]
    BHR Partners
    In 2013, Biden, Devon Archer, and Chinese businessman Jonathan Li founded BHR Partners, a business focused on investing Chinese capital in companies based outside of China.[9] In September 2019, President Trump falsely claimed that Biden "walk[ed] out of China with $1.5 billion in a fund" and earned "millions" of dollars from the BHR deal, while Trump was also accusing Biden of malfeasance in Ukraine.[22][23] Trump publicly called on China to investigate Hunter Biden's business activities there while his father was vice president.[24][25] On October 13, 2019, citing "the barrage of false charges" by the President, Hunter Biden announced his resignation from the Board of Directors for BHR Partners effective at the end of the month.[26][7] According to his lawyer, Biden had "not received any compensation for being on BHR's board of directors," nor had he received any return on his equity share in BHR.[27] Biden's lawyer, George Mesires, told The Washington Post that BHR Partners had been "capitalized from various sources with a total of 30 million RMB [Chinese Renminbi], or about $4.2 million, not $1.5 billion."[22]

    Sleepy, CREEPY,Joe Biden's got a reputation for "pussy grabbing" (serial sexual misconduct) too, but unlike Trump, Biden is a known "kiddy fiddler" as well, which puts him in a different "league" altogether. He is also a sexual pervert who was in the habit of undressing in front of his female staff at the White House, knowing that they would be too afraid to register any formal complaints.

    One thing I do not understand, however, is how a conspicuously corrupt politician like Joe Biden has not been called to account for his criminal misconduct.

    He has actually admitted in public (boasted) that he bribed the Ukraine to terminate a Ukrainian prosecutors' investigation into corruption regarding Hunter Biden's appointment to the crooked Bursama Energy company. And let's face it, Biden's dodgy activities in the Ukraine and China - which netted his dead-head son, Hunter, 1.5 billion in the case of China and many millions of dollars from the Ukraine stink to high hell. Everyone knows Joe Biden is guilty as sin of using his position as Vice President under Obama improperly to engage in corrupt financial dealings.

    We have the evidence, - at least more than enough evidence for him (Joe Biden) to be charged with serious criminal offences under the law,- so why is it that in America crooked politicians like him (and Hillary Clinton) are allowed to walk around free as birds - and even run for President ? I don't geddit?

    Could someone who has a good understanding of US politics please explain this for me ? (And "No Malarky" please !)

    the media is corrupt. it has been that way for a long time. Read up on Walter Duranty - it is infuriating how many Americans are unaware of what has been going on for a century

    So, Hunter had cocaine in his urine from smoking cigarettes that he had BUMMED which were spiked with the drug. If you believe that you are a bigger moron than I thought. And Hunter did not appeal the charge, you advise because he thought that no one would believe him. I'm not f**king surprised. Basically he's a lying, little dirt-bag, and every job he ever held was given to him courtesy of his father's political influence. He even lied about fathering an illegitimate child a month or two ago, but was caught out by a DNA test which the woman he impregnated had to have organised. WHAT A DESPICABLE, DISHONOURABLE, SCUM BAG!!
