Deflecting? From what? This election ought not suddenly be the Hunter Biden story. To try to make it that is the deflection. Hunter won't be in the WH making policy, if Joe elected. Won't be there at all if he stays involved in lobbying. Biden businesses will be in blind trust. Financial disclosure will be complete. Do you think Trump would make the same pledge? Is he willing to disclose his financial dealings? I doubt it, and pushing on this may rebound on him if he chooses the route of exploring family finance. Could be better for him than dying on the real issues, I suppose... It's not about Hunter. It's about Joe's influence on Hunter's behalf, and Joe's profiting from it. You deny it, but there's a whole lotta smoke. You deflect by all of your "Yeah, but Trump..." ramblings. |

This Forbes article just doesn't quite add up. It's from 2019 yet estimates Joe Biden's net worth at only $9 million, $4 million in his 2 houses. From the previous article, his two S-Corps yielded $13 million in 2017 and 2018 alone. You cite a $8 million dollar book deal. He's got to have more somewhere. Maybe he's a "gold bug" and has been stashing gold bars in his cellar? I also couldn't help but notice you responded to 2 out of 3 of my posts. The one you didn't respond to was the Bobulinski post. Maybe you realize that there's no defense of Joe Biden's activities related to that one? |

Net worth would include real estate appreciation, other investment appreciation.
My 401K appreciated by far more than income for example.
No income until cashed in.

He hasn't authored a significant piece of legislature during his whole career. He's a car salesman, with no backbone. The Hunter Biden story just brings his underperforming, panhandling career to a head. I prefer substance over style. Biden is all style, no substance. Trump is no style and but at least delivers. Trump did not get my vote in 2016, but with the options available to the public this time around, you have to go with him. You can say that. Cannot support it very well... |

Are you guys really trying to decide which politician is more corrupt?
Isn't that like trying to decide which body builder is using more steroids, or which cyclist is doping? Gee, did Mark McGwire or Sammy Sosa use more performance enhancing drugs?
Get over it. Accept that they're all corrupt. Make your voting decision on some other facet of the campaign.
Maybe there just should be a special counsel appointed to determine which has the biggest penis. Wait a minute, that would include a measurement. And a specific measurement could be construed as falling within the realm of "science." Well shit ...
One the other hand, it would give new meaning to the statement "Trump/Biden wins by a head."

I do think we accept a certain amount of human flaw in anyone. Not that all are equally flawed, and there are no limits..

Bobulinski has turned over all his electronic devices containing emails, SMS, etc. documenting his interactions with the Bidens. This is going to be really, really interesting!

Beat low expectations.
Split decision.
Sleepy not bad. No sign of senility.

I think Trump won tonight but I still think Biden wins the election. I feel like neither really flipped anyone. I guess Trump might have won back some voters like me who voted for him last time but were questioning it this time around

I think if people were on the fence and looking for a reason to vote for Trump, they got it last night. And I think going forward, if he's re-elected, you'll get that type of performance on maybe 150 days of his next term. It's what's going to happen on the other 1,300 days of that term that I would worry about.

Biden forgot they were talking about China at one point. Stumbled around on many occasions. May be attributed to his stuttering (which would explain a lot), but it's still a bad look for a world leader.
I thought Trump let Joe off easy on the laptop deal, but still got in a few digs which flustered Joe a bit.
Joe relied on "Come on" too much, which is what people say when they don't have a cogent response. His frustration with Trump doesn't help him if he wants to be seen as a uniter, able to work with both sides of the aisle.
Joe's response about not getting anything done in his 8 years, about having a Republican Congress was a complete lie; he had 2 years of a Democrat-controlled House AND Senate.
Biden did better on the COVID segment, but Trump defended himself pretty well.
The moderator interrupted Trump far more than Biden, although Trump kept trying to respond to everything Biden said.
Biden hammered Trump on his taxes, which I think scores well for Joe for people that don't understand business.
If this were a boxing match, I'd say a split decision for Trump.
