Jill Biden - excellent judge of character

Which of those actions would you like to defend first?

Am I not allowed to point out inconsistencies? Is it, or is it not virtuous to get a stripper pregnant? Is it, or is it not virtuous to sleep with your dead brother's wife? Is it, or is it not virtuous to be dishonorably discharged by the Navy for failing a drug test?

Hunters mom seems to think these things are just fine.

Nobody disputes any of these things (even his mom). By the way, I'm pretty sure the Navy doesn't discharge on gossip.

These things are elements of his "character", and I'm sure these aren't the worst elements of his character - but they're the ones we know about.

I can judge, because I'm a taxpayer - and my taxpayer dollars were spent on condition that Hunter Biden was protected from prosecution, while he was selling access to the office of the President from his board position with Burisma.....

I grabbed a screenshot of your deleted comment - in case context might help my reply make more sense.

maybe i recalled incorrectly that you were a devout Christian.
i was just busting your chops.
i am too tired to get into a rhetorical fencing match with you.
which is what it always ends up being.

you do you my friend,have a few upvotes.

Devout isn't the word I'd use. I've avoided organized religion for the better part of 25 years. I have faith, but I refuse to let others tell me what kind of sinner I am, or tell me how much I need to give to the church to be forgiven.

I know exactly what kind of sinner I am, and exactly why the church needs my money.

Yet you told me you were an atheist the other week?

I've never said any such thing, to anyone, ever. You may catch me claiming a bit of agnosticism from time to time....but never atheist. I believe in god, I just don't think any religion gets it right....probably because people are involved. People suck.

Guy, everything you say is a lie, and a blatantly ridiculously preposterously stupid one at that.
The only reason I figure you not to be trolling is you dodging me.

Certainly you can link to the comment where I said that....but, of course you can't - because I've never said such a thing. You may be confusing something that I most definitely did say - which is "I have no faith in organized religion", or something to that effect. That isn't saying I don't believe in god, it's a lack of faith in churches and the people who run them.

It's Christmas, and I have kids and grandkids. It's a busy time of year for me.

Like I said, everything you say is a lie.

ok,well if that is the case,and you are a principled man (and i think you are,or attempt to be like the rest of us).

then why would you buy into,what can only be called salacious gossip,about the son of a presidential candidate?
why would you act surprised when a mother defends her son?
why would you consider impregnating a stripper lacking virtue?
and which one is it?
the stripper or the pregnancy?
is this a twofer judging?
why do you care he slept with his dead brothers wife?
i didn't even know,and nor did i care to know.not my business.
hunter did drugs in the military? and they kicked him out for it?
the SCANDAL!
in my time,my entire ship was high on something.
used to laugh every time that commercial came on "the navy is a drug free navy"
LOL...nope....not even close to being accurate.
we all were young,and stupid at one time.

my entire point is "who are you to judge"?
and you tread dangerous waters when you utilize a metric such as "virtuous" to judge another.
because that VERY SAME METRIC can be leveled at you,or who you support.

or are you REALLY going to make a case that Donald j trump is a virtuous man?
you simply cannot condemn hunter biden without condemning Donald j trump.if we used your standard on how to judge a mans character.

to do so would be the height of obnoxious hypocrisy.

The Navy doesn't discharge for gossip - the details of his discharge have long been public. Likewise, paternity test results are not gossip either - that hit the news a month ago if I recall correctly. Again, news confirmed that he left his first wife to be with his sister-in-law, and left her just 7 months ago.

All three point to the character of the individual. It's my business because he was selling access to the office of the POTUS, and his daddy dangled a billion taxpayer dollars to Ukraine to coax them into protecting him. It's my business because I'm a taxpayer. I can judge, because he and his dad turned the executive branch into an ATM machine.

Before you say I'm making this up, and it's all fantasy - watch the Hunter Biden interview. He admitted that the only reason he got the board position was because his last name was Biden and his dad was the VP.

I've been listening to impeachment debate all day and I'm just a little pissed off about the whole thing....

you should be pissed.
but,
we already know how this will end.

and please understand,i am not defending biden nor his son.
i just hate how the media uses red meat to throw to the masses and calls it news.
i could use the stormy daniels kerfuffle as a similar subject.
it wasn't news...who cared that a billionaire spent money on a porn star?
i didn't even really care when trump paid her off.

but the pearl clutching,and the poo-pooing,and the "how could he"?
was simply nauseating.
especially coming from a class of hypocrites.

this fake offended morality makes me nuts.
and that is where i was coming from.

but sometimes i get lost in my own plot.
you alright mike.cheers.

But he made his strippers get abortions and dead spouses are not a prerequisite for his philandering.

hahha, thanks, altho economy of words is hardly my forte, as my usual convoluted meanderings can attest,,,

We all judge daily. Quit acting like your sh!t doesn't stink

WHOOSH!
you hear that?
that was you missing not only the point but the entire underlying context.

bravo sir...bravo

We will remember that the next time you have something negative to say about Trump.

I look forward to our next engagement.

*or,you could read my comments where I laid out my reasoning.which began as a joke,but sometimes people get anal leakage and need to be corrected.
