The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Then-Vice President Joe Biden visited Ukraine on a mission to bolster the country's energy industry days after his son Hunter joined the board of natural gas company Burisma in 2014


The New York Post? Such outstanding journalism: "McCormick says he suspects..." and "He also speculates..." Sheesh.

Funny, I don't see a single claim from the New York Post article that Burisma received squat at the direction of Biden.

The Senate investigated and found nothing:

But an 87-page report summing up the findings, released jointly on Wednesday by the Senate Homeland Security and Finance Committees, contained no evidence that the elder Mr. Biden improperly manipulated American policy toward Ukraine or committed any other misdeed. In fact, investigators heard witness testimony that rebutted those charges.

Dope1: Wonder if there's any conflict of interest between having Hunter on the board and Joe discussing "packages" to assist with "unconventional gas reserves" in the Ukraine.

Gotta' do more than 'wonder'. After four years controlling the wheels of government, Trump came up with nothing.

Huh.

Trump did eventually try to extort Ukraine into announcing an investigation into the Bidens in exchange for military assistance, getting him impeached.

Dope1: This guy definitely needs to be on the Epstein watch. BTW, the answer to your question is that Epstein's best buddy was Bill Clinton. He certainly flew on the Lolita Express a number of times. When are you going to denounce those flights and what he was doing on them?

Now look who's Poisoning the Well.

Tell you what, I'll condemn Clinton. How about you condemning Trump. He flew on the Lolita Express too.
