Act with maturity, as they have done throughout. You want clown show...try this guy:

FROM LAST NIGHT:

“I mean he’s taking over a country for $2 worth of sanctions,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Putin to donors and Republican lawmakers at Mar-a-Lago, his private club, on Wednesday. “I’d say that’s pretty smart.”

Maturity? You meant senility, right? Typical response, whenever in doubt, scream Trump. WGAF about Trump? I don't.

The 13 dead US soldiers from the last Biden foreign relations party say hello.

POLITICO Playbook: Double trouble for Biden

By RYAN LIZZA, RACHAEL BADE, TARA PALMERI and EUGENE DANIELS 09/21/2021 09:40 AM EDT

Ben Schreckinger’s “The Bidens: Inside the First Family’s Fifty-Year Rise to Power,” out today, finds evidence that some of the purported HUNTER BIDEN laptop material is genuine, including two emails at the center of last October’s controversy.

A person who had independent access to Hunter Biden’s emails confirmed he did receive a 2015 email from a Ukrainian businessman thanking him for the chance to meet Joe Biden. The same goes for a 2017 email in which a proposed equity breakdown of a venture with Chinese energy executives includes the line, “10 held by H for the big guy?” (This person recalled seeing both emails, but was not in a position to compare the leaked emails word-for-word to the originals.)

MORE: Emails released by a Swedish government agency also match emails in the leaked cache, and two people who corresponded with Hunter Biden confirmed emails from the cache were genuine.

The Hunter Biden Laptop Is Real

Our ‘newspapers of record’ become something else when they conspire to deny facts and hide truth.

Independent Source Confirms Authenticity of Damning Hunter Biden Emails

Zachary Evans September 21, 2021·

Shreckinger’s source remembered viewing both emails but was not able to compare the text leaked to the Post with the original emails. Other emails from the leaked files matched a cache of emails released by a Swedish government agency, two people who communicated with Hunter Biden said.

President Biden has insisted that he was never involved in his son’s business dealings.

Citing its hacked materials policy, Twitter censored the damning New York Post article that exposed the emails in the run up to the 2020 presidential election, blocking users from tweeting out a link to the story and from direct messaging it to other users. The Federal Elections Commission recently ruled that the censorship was not politically motivated and therefore did not qualify as an illegal in-kind contribution to the Biden campaign.

The president’s son is currently attempting to sell paintings at galleries run by art dealer Georges Bergès. The White House has agreed to an arrangement whereby the buyers will remain anonymous, however the high price of the paintings, some of which could sell for up to $500,000, has raised eyebrows.

“There is simply no way an artist who has never even juried into a community center art fair is going to suddenly show up in New York selling art for half a million a pop,” former Office of Government Ethics head Walter Shaub said on Law & Crime’s Objections podcast in August.

Shaub told CNN in July that the arrangement was “the perfect mechanism for funneling bribes.”

Of course the Biden Administration is going to do nothing aside from some light hitting sanctions. To do something would raise the spotlight on Joe Biden, his son Hunter Biden, and apparently trucks of cash coming from Ukraine for clear quid pro quo.

Two years ago, I brought the Hunter Biden laptop and the issue in a thread designed to talk about these issues and I was told that I was pushing lies and that the laptop was fake and that I was a liar. And that if I continued to discuss it, the implication would be that I would be "punished" for discussing it any further.

Well, it's been vetted as real and since it makes Biden look bad in an already scandal filled year plus of his administration, he's going to do nothing to further lay cover for his crack head new artist son and I guess more people are going to get left to die. Just like in Afghanistan.

Briggs, I love you brother, you know that. But your politics and my politics are clearly not welcome here. Other people, sure, but not ours. That's just how it goes. And I've said it before multiple times, this forum is better off if politics aren't discussed at all, but if you let people do it, then you have to be open to all politics. Not just one specific type of politics from one specific direction.

You were banned Briggs. I was basically threatened to be banned. You and I are two of the heaviest creators of actual Knicks discussion on this forum. What's the point of losing actual Knicks discussion for non basketball issues that are already going to polarize people? I can't answer that. You can't answer that. The only answer is apparently we need to be silent.

I wish the people of Ukraine nothing but good fortune and safety in the harsh times ahead.

Let's be real man, your political posts are trash. About as trash as Joe Rogan's. I see you are still stuck on Hunter Biden laptop thing; quite the hop and link from Russia Ukraine, thanks for that.

I'm OK with high value OT threads popping up regarding current events but not this way and not diverted in the way you seem to want.

Why you wasting my time and your time on this? You already know better.

martin, you know I love you boss, but after the debacle in Afghanistan that we all saw in living color, is it trash to just really question what your boy is going to do now? And again, for the eight billionth time, I never voted for Trump. Not once. Not in a primary, not even in a mail-in survey from Frito-Lay.

BRIGGS - I would definitely have put this in OT forum. No need for this here.

My boy? I don't even know what level of discussion that is about. Find a subreddit and have at it.

BRIGGS brought up what is going on in Ukraine, if you have anything relevant to add, please do so.

Trump is cheerleading this. Just sayin...

Don’t be ashamed. We are pee ons in the process. A million citizens can do nothing against 1 person with the power of police and military. Tgis was likely in motion for many years by the top players in Russian govt. they feed the people slanted news. The thing I don’t like from the other side is they should’ve gave guRabtees that Ukraine wouod not be a nato state. Look at the cost now.

If a million people actually turned up all together in a single place to protest the descent of the country towards a dictatorship, the filthy Botox-filled rat would have instantly fled to some Venezuelan or North Korean summer paradise. But, as fierce as we may be on battlefields with other nations, at home we feel a desperate need to cower before an all-mighty leader, who would relieve us of the arduous task of thinking for ourselves and exercising self-restraint against our hostile urges. It is as if we fear freedom because we think that the only way to keep ourselves from cheating or abusing one another is to collectively lock ourselves on one big country-wide prison. Sorry for the long and rambling notes from the looney house.
