Rich kids almost always ride their daddy's coat tails. Just look at how well Trump's kids live. Do you think Ivanka could have gotten the funding for her clothing line if she was simply Ivanka Smith? Do you think his two oldest boys would be running a large company (and living the globe trotting life style that entails) if it wasn't Daddy's company? The Bush kids, Chelsea Clinton, the whole Romney and Kennedy clans - and that's just in politics. It's easier to name kids who figured out a way to NOT ride their famous parent's coat tails - I can think of one, right off the top of my head: Joe Hill, Steven King's son, who changed his name so he could sell his books on their own merit, and not as Steven King clones. (Then it got out who he was, so it probably wasn't 100% effective, but he tried, I'll give him that).
So it makes zero sense for you to continue on and on and on and on about what a scandal it is that Biden's son got some cushy job, probably helped by his dad's name (but he did graduate from a top tier school and has actually been employed at high level jobs, despite is occasional drug issues, so he's not the completely unqualified bum you want to paint him as.) If you're going to get all butt hurt over Biden's son, you need to include EVERY famous kid who's benefited by Mom and Dad's name or connections or pile of money - starting with the Trumps.
And you need to get your time line right. I know the far right likes to try to obscure this fact, so it can be hard to find it on the news sites you look at, but when Biden put pressure on the president of the Ukraine to fire a prosecutor (doing what Obama and the State department directed him to do) the company Biden Jr worked for was NOT under investigation. The US and many other countries, as well as the world bank, were all putting pressure on the Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who was well known to be dirty. Although I don't know why I'm bothering to tell you this, this is about the 5th time I've explained it to you, and the 5th time I've pointed out that your ire at Biden Jr should be directed at a much wider audience - it won't stick. Pointless.
Yea, but the Trump kids did something with it.. instead of hanging around waiting for the next little thing for Daddy to help out with,,
What better proof than needing Daddy to threaten to hold up money if they didn't fire that prosecutor. then Biden brags about hey fire the prosecutor in six hours!!!!
You didn't read a single word that I wrote, did you?

You really are impervious to facts, aren't you? And Ivanka did something, she waited for Daddy to create an exemption in the tariffs with China to help her company. That's the entrepreneurial spirit we should reward!!

sure. and whose daddy loaned him $1,000,000 to get started again?
this might be a good time to mention than $1,000,000 is more money in one place than 90+% will ever see in their lifetimes, let alone all in one place, back in 1980, and packaged with a bow- no questions asked.

Trump wants to read to us. I wonder how many heads he made explode with this one: www.cnn.com/2019/11/01/politics/donald-trump-fireside-chat-ukraine-call/index.html- "At some point, I'm going to sit down, perhaps as a fireside chat on live television, and I will read the transcript of the call, because people have to hear it," he said of his July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky. "When you read it, it's a straight call."
OMG please do. I will have to buy stock in Orville Redenbocker.

Yeah I saw that he wants to go on TV and read the transcript out for everyone - I guess because he thinks we really are that dumb we can't read it ourselves.
And also so dumb we don't understand what a 'Not a verbatim transcript' means when it's printed on top of a document.

Ivanka started horrific sweatshops in other countries. I guess that's something to be proud of. The boys haven't done Jacques-shit.

It was more like 60 million. www.cnbc.com/2018/10/02/trumps-small-loan-from-his-father-was-more-like-60point7-million-nyt.htmlThen there's his 413 million inheritance. www.marketwatch.com/story/trumps-father-gave-his-son-at-least-413-million-new-york-times-2018-10-02....and his idiot supporters call him a "self-made man".

Posed with the sawed-off tail of an elephant they killed, and dead cheetahs. Maybe that's why Trump reversed the law on animal trophies, lions and elephants, making it A-OK. Eric and Don Jr. can now hunt them to extinction with no worries. globalnews.ca/news/4065753/donald-trump-elephant-trophy-ban-lift/

OMG please do. I will have to buy stock in Orville Redenbocker. I think he feels his marketing spin will make it all better. He seems oblivious to the fact a big portion of the country sees through the shill & spin.
