In reply to the discussion: Interesting how some of our candidates are getting themselves boxed in with VP talk.. [View all]phleshdef
(11,936 posts)44. Oh horseshit. You know what you were insinuating. Don't try to back out now.
he shows up on a board in a company based in a super corrupt country that just happened to be desperate for American aid
There is no other way to take that. You were drawing a line to Hunter's job and receiving American aid. Its right there in your own words.
It is ethical as long as everyone was following the law and not doing underhanded things to hurt other people. And everything we know so far, that has been the situation. I don't think anyone should get paid that much money for, well, really anything. But thats not the issue.
My main problems with you is that you are perpetuating right wing talking points and you can't bring yourself to admit that you don't really know how far Hunter Biden's talents extend. Thats what sad about it. You are pretending to know things about a person so that you can participate in smearing that person. Really, engaging in that kind of activity, you have no business talking about ethics at all.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

This "zero experience" bullshit in indicative of someone that doesn't understand the business world.

I don't only believe it, I know it to be a fact. Also, "doesn't speak Ukranian" means NOTHING.

I don't have a hard time understanding anything. You have a hard time explaining your position.

It's ridiculous at this point to be asking anyone about VP choices. Media sure is dense sometimes.
