News flash:

When Hunter Biden says “i wouldn't be on the board if not for the fact im Biden’s son...” thats tantamount to admitting his employment is a bribe.

If 95% of journalists are left wing pundits in disguise pushing left wing biases, then alternative and independent news has a systemic advantage in its accuracy, because they are reacting to propaganda and not constructing reality.

The "alternative" and "independent" news is the least trustworthy. They are run by extremists, people with an agenda, on both the left and right sides of the political spectrum. The main stream media may have a bias depending the person writing the story, but I'll take that over the insane conspiracy theories that come out of those "alternative" news reports.

Absolutely false. There is nothing in his comment that references a bribe, implied or otherwise.

Conspiracies like “Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election”?

The MSM is the least trustworthy. They aren’t journalists, they are propagandists, and their reach would make gobbles proud.

Of course you believe them, because you’re a lefty. They tell you what you want to hear.

Bottom line is hating Trump is good for the media.

It's about money.

People like to hate the same thing it make them feel apart of something.

If we all hate Trump it makes it right...or something !

I never saw that reported in MSM. The Mueller investigation was specifically meant to determine if the Russians interfered in the 2016 election, and without a doubt they did. The Trump administration was also under investigation, but no collusion was found, but neither was Trump exonerated. The report found 10 instances of obstruction by Trump, but because he was a sitting president, the bureau could not bring charges against him.

Would you say that was a factual representation of what occurred, or should my comments above be considered a conspiracy theory?

Pelosi comes out and says there won't be an inquiry vote anytime soon because there doesn't need to be a vote. Continue with the witness testimonies, they are driving Trump crazy. He can't stop them despite his best efforts and he can't find out what is being said.

Yeah, but the Democrats' unwillingness to follow standard procedure is going to hurt them with the public's perception of the inquiry. Democrats obviously won't care and that's obviously who they're pandering to with this weak impeachment case, but just like last time they're going to underestimate the power of the independent/unaffiliated vote who is going to see evidence of Trump's claim to having the game "rigged" against him by the swamp.

Is it the dimension where Trump is winning his 4D chess game?

Well, in this dimension Trump's approval is polling the same as it did before this whole impeachment thing started. Whether or not he's "winning" at 4D chess, he's certainly defending his pieces like a champ. If this is the strongest play that his opponent has made to date, it sure isn't making much of a difference.

On a lighter note, I haven't shared a Bee article lately.

Trump Vows To Cut Foreign Aid To California

Quote:
WASHINGTON, D.C.—There’s more bad news for California, as the failed state is struggling to even keep the lights on, and now President Trump has announced cutting off all foreign aid to California. “American money should go to Americans,” Trump told the press. “Not a bunch of Californians who will probably just spend the money on bongs and paper straws.”

Many have denounced this move by Trump as “cruel,” as the state is unlikely to last long without outside help, but Trump has promoted cutting off aid as “cruel” since he “hates Californians” and will laugh when “bad things happen to them.”

Though this means no money for California for now, Trump has earmarked some money for California to help any pro-democracy movement within the state. So far none has emerged.

The public understands the Dems are gathering evidence at this time to be presented to us when it is all accumulated. Meanwhile, standard rules are being followed, the GOP is being equally represented and allowed to ask whatever questions they wish. The fact that Trump hates the gathering evidence process is just a free bonus.

"The public understands"

You wouldn't know "the public" if it bit you on the rear end.

The only one with a shot a beating Trump is Andrew Yang, but since he is the only one not batshit crazy he has zero chance at the nomination.

The Left (the party of peace, love, and abortion) is literally calling for more troops in the Middle East tonight just because it is the opposite of Trump. He has rendered them impotent.

Trump landslide 2020.

Didn't Trump just send 1800 more troops to Saudi? Yea, so much for that. Try harder next time, or better yet, don't.
