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.

LurkerMom: We all know though Biden is up against a lot of accusations with creditable witnesses...

Credible?

Your lone accuser, Mykola Zlochevsky, is a Ukranian oligarch wanted on suspicion of embezzlement and for attempting to bribe Ukrainian prosecutors in order to drop all charges against him. He fled Ukraine and is in hiding.

On 18 April 2018, a recording of part of a conversation between President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and fugitive Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksandr Onyshchenko was released by Onyshchenko which implicated Zlochevsky in graft. Zlochevsky was accused of having illegally issued, while he was Ecology Minister in 2010'2012, oil and gas licenses to the companies that belonged to him.

His accusation was relayed through an FBI informant who has stated, for the record, that he knows nothing about the Bidens and Ukraine beyond what Zlochevsky said, has no idea if Zlochevsky is making sh!t up, and is "not able to provide any further opinion as to the veracity" of the claims.

In short, Zlochevsky made a claim with no evidence to support the claim.

None.

Oh wait, Zlochevsky claimed to have texts and 17 audiotapes but there's been no evidence, none, that the texts or the recordings even exist, let alone say what Zlochevsky said they say.

How convenient.

LurkerMom: On top of rising prices for everyday goods, costs for other essential services like health care are also rising. Seniors are seeingthe largest ever Medicare Part B premium increase in 2022.

If you're going to copy and paste a bunch of crap, at least find reasonably current crap. This is from 2022.

You're supporting a rapist who will soon be under four multiple-felony indictments, possibly including racketeering, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and obstruction of an official proceeding.
